| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... I love the sound of tubes. I ran tube amps of various configurations with either a Sonic Frontiers or Melos hybrid tube preamp for over 25 years in my main system. About a year ago I bought a pair of single ended solid state Valvet mono blocks. Si... | |
| What is your listening chair? Eames lounge-chair with ottoman. No complaints. | |
| Thinking out of the box here. It might make some defensive What happened to the OP? | |
| Best DIY power cable. Why not make? Biketech60+1 / I've made several PC's using Oyaide Tunami cable myself & completely agree that this cable is well worth the money. Bought the cable from vhaudio. | |
| Heart, Lungs, Brains, Veins, Liver I'm thinking the liver would be whatever component wears out the quickest. | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? +1 Teo | |
| Epos I bought a pair of their 14's 25 years ago. I took them out of the main system years ago when getting into SE equipment. Still using them upstairs with the television & will probably never sell them. They still sound great and although used... | |
| Soundstage Direct fulfillment timeliness? My experience with shipping time from them is same as yours. However, in full disclosure, the titles I bought were fairly obscure. I'm fortunate to have a very good store nearby (Vertigo in GR Michigan) so 99% of the time I'll support him. | |
| Good Sounding Vintage SS Receiver or Amps I like the valvet amps. Not much power but very nice with high sensitivity speakers. I was also using tube gear prior to this. | |

| Dedicated Phono Cables required?? My arms have always had a din connection so I've used a dedicated cable. For the money I would recommend either a cardas or furutech. Both are good although the furutech can get pricey. | |
| How thick should the front baffle of speakers be? +1 ErikThat makes good sense since eliminating micro vibrations to the cabinet through footers etc. greatly increases speaker presentation. I never knew what mine were capable of until I put them on ceramic ball type feet. | |
| Why does all new pop music sound the same? asp307 / Thanks for the lead. I'll check out the Meters. | |
| Would love some feedback / Denon DL-S1 / phono match / cart recomendations I've used that cartridge with a Cinemag SUT & it sounds good together. That cart has a lot of detail, although it's not bright. For the music you listen to, it should work out well. Literally wore that one out. The suspension gave way after ma... |
