| Audiophiles & music-have you got it wrong? >>First up the price of musicYes, this is an issue. As Sean said before & I agree - extreme greed is killing the music industry or what's left of it! Consider what it takes to actually phyiscally make a CD-ROM & what the price of mus... | |
| JM lab Electr 926 speakers good pre amp&lifier Hmmmm...I heard the 926 (in a showroom, I admit! However, this was a dedicated room with just the 926 & the associated electronics & 2 chairs) with a ClearAudio Champion Level 1 TT, McCormack RLD & McCormack DNA-125 & all StraightW... | |
| Listening room in Attic or Living room??? Unsound,Re. studying all the disciplines & becoming a Leonardo da Vinci - yes, I see your point.I also agree w/ you that the room acoustics are paramount to making a stereo sound its best. I never denied that in any way, shape or form in my or... | |
| ASL Mini Phono Glad you like it. John!Is it headed for the "giant-killer" designation??Let us know how it sounds after break-in. Thanks! | |
| Listening room in Attic or Living room??? BTW, just checked my notes: the book I'm referring to is called "The Master Handbook of Acoustics"- by Everest. My notes also inform me that partsexpress.com has the best price on it.Just FYI. FWIW. | |
| Listening room in Attic or Living room??? FWIW, I have my listening room in my attic area. It is totally 400 sq. ft. & the listening area is 19' X 17'. There is a little alcove about 11' X 7' that I share w/ my wife - this her hobby area right next to window where she needs more light... | |
| What do Oil Caps do and how do they effect sound? Brooks1,The sound was exemplary, if I may say so!The sound was very transparent, plenty of high freq. & low freq extension & since I was listening to single-driver speakers (Cain & Cain Single BEN & Carolina Audio JTM) the sound wa... | |
| Lamm LL2 and Joule LA-150 comparison Dpe,Getting the ZH270 has crossed my mind many times! I own a CAT SL1 pre right now. Can you please share your experience of the CAT SL1/ZH270 sound? Thanks! | |
| What mat for MMF-5 ? When I used to own a MMF5, I did exactly the same as Dan_ed (above). I got my cork from OfficeDepot - 1/8th inch thick. If you do the conversion, this xlates to 3.25mm thick, which is almost exactly the thickness of the factory felt mat. This mean... | |
| What do Oil Caps do and how do they effect sound? Thanks for the correction Ed_sawyer. My bad for quoting the dealer without double-checking the info he gave me. | |
| ASL Mini Phono John,My take on the ASL TIDT passive pre ($500. It has a big brother which sells for $800) is that it had exemplary sound! Very transparent, very dynamic & (like you said) the music had very good timing to it, lots of high freq. extension &... | |
| Passive pre-amp any good??? My experience w/ passive preamps is limited. I have heard the ASL $500 xformer-based passive pre. It was driving an ASL power amp. Maybe matching was not an issue as both were from the same company? The sound was exemplary, if I may say so! No thi... | |
| ASL Mini Phono John,I haven't heard the ASL mini-phono but I did get a chance to hear a lot of their gear over Christmas break @ a dealer's store. I had actually gone in to listen to single-driver speakers & found that his only tube gear line was ASL. He had... | |

| Won't preamps become obsolete? Eldartford,You are correct in assuming that a TVC is a multitap audio xformer. If done correctly they provide excellent sound today. Xformer technology has come a long way since the days you remember & really excellent sound can be had at a re... |
