| Suggestions for my next upgrade Hi Jay! I'm looking to upgrade to a proper preamp for a Bel Canto REF500s amp. The SL100 looks interesting. How do you like it? I've heard good things about Cary Audio. Thanks! | |
| What brand was better than it is today? Canton speakers, Denon, B and O | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Depeche Mode - Black Celebration | |
| Quad Balanced Pre-Amp The C49 is about $500 more than the C47. Does the C49 have $500 worth of upgrades? Looks interesting though. | |
| Who can dance? I love to dance even though I haven't been out and danced in a while. I was in high school and college from the early-late 80s and the new wave nightclub scene was incredible. I was out dancing 3-4 nights a week for years! I moved to Philly in '88... | |
| From tubes back to SS? @prof That's a great story---I have found that many CJ owners are quite loyal to the brand. I've never owned anything in the audio world that's as hi-end as a CJ or LTA. The closest I've ever come to that was Canton speakers, Nakamichi and B &... | |
| From tubes back to SS? @tuckia08 The CJ ET6 does replace the ET3 I believe---at least that's what I've read. The LTA is slowly pulling me in. I have also glanced at Cary Audio's SLP98 and Rogue's RP5. But the LTA and CJ and #1 and 2 on the list. There are so many good o... | |
| From tubes back to SS? @tuckia08 Thats great info since I'm a newbie to tubes. How do you think the new CJ ET6 compares to the LTA? I've read/heard great things about CJs. Some people on Audiogon don't like the relay 'clicks' on the volume control of the LTA preamp. I'm... | |
| From tubes back to SS? @abucktwoeighty Wow! Do all tubes hiss or hum? Or is it a brand thing? I've been looking at Linear Tube Audio preamp and Conrad-Johnson's new ET6. If they hiss or hum then that would worry me. | |
| From tubes back to SS? Lots of good points but I guess the only way to know is to try it out. I can always go back like many of you. I still haven't made up my mind---lots of research and taking into account many comments here. And the journey continues... | |
| Music lover or audiophile? For me, music came first. My family had 45s, albums and 8-track tapes. We had radios playing all the time. Most of the restaurants we went to back then had juke boxes. I used to love to get some spare change to play records in the juke boxes.I had... | |
| Best 80s New Wave @simao Roxy Music and The Cure? Of course they're new wave. The Fixx were really good too. | |
| Best 80s New Wave @gunners01 Great lists!! Several people have listed groups I totally forgot about. New wave was so much fun and so many young people are into the music. My cousin (in her early 20s) loves Joy Division, PSB and many others.Here are a few I remember... | |
| Audio racks Thanks for the great suggestions--I've never heard of Symposium Acoustics. Nice stuff.It's amazing to see the price differences b/w some of these builders for racks that look very much alike. One of the issues I have is that I prefer a 5 shelf sys... |
