| Krell Kav 2250 vs Odyssey Stratos Extreme Mono I've heard both and feel the Odyssey Stratos has a more natural, musically satisfying presentation. | |
| Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable Nice review; I had one of these way back in the 1970s and thought it was pretty good for the money. | |
| Bad idea? Budget int. tube amp with Maggie 1.6's? There are some solid state integrated amps rated at 100 wpc or higher; the Consonance C-100 and Qinpu are a couple nice sounding "budget" integrated amps that will easily drive your Maggies. Any of the push-pull tube integrated amps using KT88s or... | |
| Power chord for Consonance Droplet 5.0 CD player Purist Audio Dominus (ferox version). | |
| Please help me choose a new cart, advice needed I would check out the Clearaudio Aurum Beta Mark II but if you can swing another $400 the Aurum Virtuoso Wood is superb. | |
| Quietest amp you ever owned ? Elevick I never knew the Dynaco ST-80 was that quiet; I had a ST-120 way back in the early 70s. The reason I am asking this question is that I am running a pair of modified Klipsch KLF-20s in a second system and, as Raqual has pointed out, the mor... | |
| RobinTrower I have a few Robin Trower CDs and would agree with Csericks that "Bridge of Sighs" is one of his best. The other one I like is "Twice Removed from Yesterday". He also very good on Procol Harum's "A Salty Dog". | |
| Review: Consonance CD-120 Linear CD Player Very good review of the CD-120 Linear - curious have you ever compared it with the more expensive CD-120 ? | |
| Great music but poor recording recommendations. You know it's funny that you bring this up; there is so much good music out there that isn't recorded well. It's unfortunate because from a purely music perspective a lot of the super well recorded "audiophile" stuff just doesn't appeal to me. | |
| Best Integrated for the Money I've had several integrated amps over the years and currently like the Qinpu A-1.0x - their A-8000 is supposed to be even better sonically but does not have a remote volume. As far as American integrated amps go one of my favorites is the Rowland ... | |
| Your 3 favorite serious low end recordings Shadowfax "The Odd Get Even", Yello "One Second" and HEM "Rabbit Songs". | |
| Great CDs "Three Way Mirror" (Joe Farrell) and "Organized" (various musicians playing the Hammond B-3) are a couple of my favorites. | |
| Which Intergrated amp for starter?? I just purchased the Qinpu A-1.0x and think it's one of the best integrated amps I've heard in this price catagory. | |
| The Most Beautiful Song of The RnR era? Just to name a few:"White Bird" by It's a Beautiful Day"Yesterday" by the Beatles"Darling Be Home Soon" by The Lovin' Spoonful"Candles in the Rain" by Melanie"Dust in the Wind" by Kansas"Love Alive" by Heart"Free Man in Paris" by Joni Mitchell"Win... | |
| Can a vintage piece over 40 years old be Highend Absolutely; many audiophiles are still using the older gear (the old Marantz 9 comes to mind). I've been told that the "iron" in the older tube gear is of a much higher quality than what is being used nowadays. The only thing that an older piece m... |
