| Larry Carlton I've got "Alone/But Never Alone" on CD and vinyl; both are excellent but the album sounds especially good. Also have "Discovery" and a later one from 2000 called "Fingerprints" which I like alot. Larry is a superb guiarist and is obviously very pa... | |
| VPI ScoutMaster or Project RM10 The VPI in my opinion is a better engineered, higher quality, better built table. | |
| Tubes for Jolida 1501 hybrid integrated I have not tryed the EI's but have listened to the Tung-Sol and the Electro-Harmonix 12AX7s in the Jolida JD 1501RC. The Tung-Sol 12AX7 seemed a bit too lush and romantic for my tastes. I personally liked the Electro-Harmonix and found them to be ... | |
| Jeff Rowland Concerto or Simaudio i7 integrated? I've had them both and, although the Simaudio is very good, I prefer the Rowland Concerto. The Rowland just seems to be more refined. | |
| Which Patricia Barber album floats yer boat? I mentioned "Live a Fortnight in France" earlier in this thread but in comparing Barber's two live performance CDs I feel "Companion" is definatetly the better recording; the entire CD is really wonderful but the percussion solo on the last cut "B... | |
| A great article on Class D/switching amps I read the article in the latest Absolute Sound and it would appear that the Class D technology is still evolving. Interesting that the reviewers either seemed to love them or hate them; one reviewer in particular seemed to characterize the class ... | |
| Purist or Kubala-which to buy for entire system Jafox - very good point; I agree entirely. | |
| Purist or Kubala-which to buy for entire system Jafox - initially I listened to the interconnect on my small system upstairs and that is when I made my first positive comment about the cable on the forum. Later I tried the cables on my main system and this is when I realized they were not as go... | |
| Purist or Kubala-which to buy for entire system I have to apologize to everyone for my previous post because I have definitely jumped the gun regarding the Nanotec cables. After having lived with these cables for a while I now have somewhat of a different perspective, they are not the giant kil... | |
| Signal Cable or Audio Art Cable for best budget... Miralink is the best low cost interconnect I have tryed and sounds better to me than several of the big name ultra high priced interconnects I've listened to. A true bargain at less than $25 for a stereo pair. I purchased it on eBay. | |
| Purist or Kubala-which to buy for entire system I'm now using the Nanotec cables thanks to your thread; best cables I have run across so far. Thanks Steve! | |
| Worst Name for A Piece of Equipment Aesthetix Calypso (wasn't that Jacques Cousteau's boat). | |
| The BEST Listening Chair u’ve ever had or saw?? I was in an Office Depot or Office Max store and sat in an Ottoman style chair; could have sat in that chair for hours it was so comfortable. Unfortunately my wife didn't think it would match our decor. | |
| New amp advices please If you're running Magnepans I would stick to a high current solid state amp from Krell, Levinson, Pass Labs, Classe, Audio Research, etc. The more wattage the better; the Maggies seem to soak it up. | |
| 25' balanced ic that a mere mortal can afford? www.partsexpress.com has balanced microphone cable in 3,10,15,25 and 50 foot runs. I have the 50 foot run and it sounds good. |
