| Cain v Hornseshoppe v Omega v Lowther Excellent advise re the PHY. I would also look into Bastani's and the 'new' Altec 604's are supposed to be awesome. | |
| "Budget" preamp choices. Sounds like the making of a great sytem...Great Phones. I would forgo the pre-amp, sell the Rega and upgrade to a Wadia which has a built in volume control. The upgrade is not subtle...I was in a similar predicament with a Cal Audio player-I bough... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... Springbank 21 +,Balvenie 21+, Balmore 21 +, Talisker 30 a surprising depth and finish compared to it's younger brethren, and for those nights I want a cigar but don't have time-Lagavullin...all are complimented by an s.e.t., single driver, vinyl e... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? It was a diy project. A single horn measuring 18 ft. high 22 ft. long and 20 ft. deep. Built around a concert d Bosendorfer - not unlike a hunting trap you have to lure a musician inside...a really nice bottle of just opened scotch will often do t... | |
| Cartridge Angst-Help thanks all-if its of any help the arm on the table is a SME 3009- best,fred | |
| Any info on Infinity Modulus 1 monitors Thanks,I ended up with a pair of reference 3a monitors gen. 2 which just sounded right...and I got them on ebay for $350 with stands...sometimes life is sweet. | |
| Best transformer to mate with 2a3 based tube? Thanks for all your advice. It should be a fun little experiment.fred | |
| Is a Tube Amp Capable of High Current? I agree with artistic audio...power supply takes the cake. I've heard any number of well made lower powered tube amps, drive the hell out of something that the numbers indicate would be a mis-match. Consider the size of your room-the type of dynam... | |
| home theater in a box? Aego...I believe made by acoustic energy...regardless i heard it on a fluke while looking for other stuff-for the $$ it was impressive.Good Luck,Fred | |
| Updating my preamp.Frustrating..You Bet I have to chime in with the sanity pleas. I know that I lost some hair looking for my last pre-amp. I got a great deal on a Melos MAR 333-which runs balanced or single ended and can be had with a great phono section..the R in MAR means that its be... | |
| Need Pre Amp and Power Amp for Watt/P5.1 5KMax For 5k, in your size room, with truth of timbre and soundstaging strong considerations, I would opt for a used atmasphere otl m60 mk2. It is possible you could get the matching mp3 pre from atmasphere and come in at 5k, which sounds glorious or if... | |
| Preamp choice for Paradigm Active 20 Because you may be running a good length of cable...since your interconnect must go all the way to the speaker-you may wish to opt for an active pre amp. Wright Co. makes a nice tube line stage that would drive the interconnects and looks great do... | |
| Problems with CAL 10 display Currently my cal 10 mis-tracks. they (CAL) won't even try to fix it for $$$. I'll be going with a more reputible company for further digital endeavors. Good Luck.cbird | |
| clayton s40 vs. pass aleph 3 or 5 Having read John Meyers thoughts on amplification...he asks us to spend little until his digital active upgrade is effective...I've gone back and forth trying not to be foolish in my choice. I love atmasphere amps. They're balanced otl's that are ... | |
| best used speaker for around 2500? Depends on the sixe of the room. Reference 3a's would sound great in a medium to small room and maybe newform researches in a larger room. Personal tastes rule in the area of speaker choice. have fun listening.Cbird |
