| Help needed. Erik,In all of this discussion, nobody has mentioned alternatives in the realm of tube preamps. Have you listened to VTL, Audible Illusions or the price champ Antique Sound Labs?I find CJ over-rated and I used to sell it. Very good gear, just not ... | |
| GRASS ANYONE? David99,The past 7 years have seen 'Bluegrass' move far from its centrist roots and adventure into all sorts of genre. 'String Cheese Incident' is probably the most bastard child of all with electric mandolin complete with distortion pedal. They r... | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog Waxcylinder, Make it easy on yourself. Find a used Rega for around $600, add a Grado cartridge for $100. Great learner table and quite respectable. | |
| Whats the best Small speaker thats cheap Weiserb,I own the SuperZeros which I've modified. Great little speaker. The SuperOnes in their original box configuration are great with an excellent voicing. Very open and dynamic. I don't like the SuperOnes in the rounded plastic cabinets.More e... | |
| Best Speaker cables on the cheap? Audioquest type 4 is very decent in that price range. I feel better than the Kimber. | |
| Most "Musical" speakers Sunnyjim,I believe the most musical speaker is one that is forgotten. You suddenly realize you are listening to the artist and the speaker has disappeared. Reference 3A DeCapos do this. | |
| If You Could Only Keep 3-CD's LP's , Which Ones? Ry Cooder's JAZZ, Copland "The Music of America" Eric Kunzel and the Cincinnati, Bill Evans "Live at the Village Vangaurd". | |
| Recommend location and type for kitchen speakers Swampwalker,What about the little Acoustic Energy AEGOS 2 with the ever so tiny sats and smaller sub. I believe you can now run 4 or 5 sats off of it. It's a sweet little system. | |
| Girl diagnoses & solves mechanical problem Sarah,I'm threatened and emasculated. No really, congrats. I smile as my fiancee' develops her ear and sometimes says "why does that sound so wrong"? Actually, I'm somewhat interested in the Triumphs. Are they the UHS, the newest incarnation? I fo... | |

Large OEM producer. www.axiomaudio.comThey offer an outrageous purchase plan of selling the speakers directly to include shipping AND customs costs from Canada. AND a... | |
| Bookshelf/Monitor suggestions. ATCs are killer. | |
| ATC for Home Theater??? Charles, ATC has been well known for their professional sound reinforcement gear for years and has just fairly recently come into home audio. They are very good and I find them more lively and dynamic than Spendor....and I love Spendor. Excellent ... | |
| FM antennae recommendations please? Fanfare for around $90 is most likely the answer. A whip I believe is 56" which is not only very good with sensitivity, but more importantly selectivity. Omnidirectional unless placed horizontal, then becomes unidirectional. | |
| First upgrade from Linn Classik? Nloyer, I owned the Linn Classik and found it surprisingly good....for what it is and does. However, not a premium source or amplification. The Audio Refinement gear would be a reasonable and substantial step forward. Dump the MIT powercable for A... | |
| speakers rewiring Alfred,Not neurosurgery here. You can purchase some raw stock Kimber 8TC and start stripping. Here's what you will run into. The circuit boards most likely have small holes where the original wires went, so you will untangle the braid of the Kimbe... |
