APL NWO2.5 ?
Several people have remarked that it noticeably outpaces the NWO-1, which was categorically the most lifelike digital I've heard to date. That includes many of the finest players available. In this hobby, the music becomes the focus when the compo... 
McIntosh MA6500 Integrated amp
Why do they carry 2 Integrateds with the same power output I wonder?At 8ohms, the MA6500 is 120W, while the MA6900 is 200W. 
Bob Dylan finally makes sense....
...there hasn't been anything great that has come out in a long time. For the most part, modern music sounds like a bunch of noise to me.Dad, is that you? 
Best rock song of all times
"Rocks Off" - Rolling Stones 
Bob Dylan finally makes sense....
One things for sure not every word uttered by Dylan should be seen as a statement from on high.Good point. How quickly I forget that I'm having internal dialogue with a journalist, and not directly their source. Wasn't the point of the article to ... 
Bob Dylan finally makes sense....
Dylan said:"I don’t know anybody who’s made a record that sounds decent in the past 20 years, really."AND“Even these songs probably sounded 10 times better in the studio when we recorded ’em. CDs are small. There’s no stature to it.”Irrespective o... 
Bob Dylan finally makes sense....
He sounds no different than most other people who disparage the generation after theirs. And he sure isn't digging too deep if he says that no good music has been made in the past 20 years. Because there are literally thousands of recordings relea... 
Little red gun next to turntable.
It came with the Yanni Live at the Acropolis LP I bought. Guess they're meant to be played together. 
Silversmith Audio--Great service provided for me.
Last year, I placed a classifieds ad for a pair of Silversmith interconnects. Jeff contacted me to let me know that he had seen the photo in the ad, and that the IC's I was selling were not the current model. In fact, they were two iterations old.... 
Has anybody imported used equipment into the US?
David,Depending upon the shipping company, you may have to fill out a "Temporary Importer" form, as required by the Patriot Act. They will ask for your SS#, and a few other bits of info, and your shipment will be released only when they have the c... 
Choice of tube amp?
I don`have access to any fax as I`m on holiday in the middle of nowhere in NorwayI must have missed the "24-hr Access to Audiogon" bullet point in the highlights section of the Carnival Cruise Line brochure. 
Choice of tube amp?
Have you considered adding a tube preamp? That could potentially extract more of what you're looking for from the music. I know Alex (APL) doesn't like the use of the preamp, but I've run two players of his, and both times preferred the sound with... 
Contrast/compare 50W tube amps
Many would be quite happy with the DeHavillands. But I could not get them to drive with the energy of the Quickies. 
Contrast/compare 50W tube amps
I've not heard Atma-Sphere. I found the BAT to sound clean and accurate, but didn't hold my attention. I just couldn't get into the music. The DeHavilland has a beautiful, refined sound, but they are too polite for my tastes. The Quicksilver Triod... 
Anyone here using vintage speakers?
1978 Klipschorns. Love 'em.
