| A most neutral and transparent power cord I like the TG SLVR as well, but it's nowhere near the price mentioned originally.I third the VH Audio, as well as give enthusiastic recommends to Aural Thrills (www.auralthrillsaudio.com). I have 2 Silver Big Ones in my systems (one in main, one i... | |
| Good sources for oddball recordings Hey, sorry for the clog....I found they were reissued on CD ! Check out Amazon, they have it !I guess it's been a while since I looked for them. | |
| Good sources for oddball recordings OK, slight veer off track. Does anyone know where I can find a (now out-of-print) copy of Fred Lane's 2 LP's ? I have tried many sights (have avoided search services due to costs).If you want "oddball recordings" check him out if you can find him ... | |
| Affordable intergrated with quality phono stage Sorry, I meant "lush" in the mid's :-) I should spell check BEFORE I post, yes ? | |
| Affordable intergrated with quality phono stage Audio Analogue Puccini SE. Try to find it used for good $. They have a remote version as well, though it'll be more and harder to find. MUSICAL sound, a bit luch in mid's, but I loved it (I chose the AA over the Bryston B60, Aranov LS960i, and YBA... | |
| Floorstanders on wood floor, help The slabs are a good idea, as are Symposium or Audio Resolution or other "draining" shelves. Actually, the shelves over granite slabs may be an awesome combo !I have granite blocks wqith shelves, for my VMPS monitors, and they do a great job. | |
| Integrateds - Revisited Yet Again If you like the idea of hybrids, Unico is one answer. Belles 250i is another. Pathos Classic One (newer version may match better with your NHT's, though older version may be a bit more tube-like) as well.I also heartily concur on the Electrocompan... | |
| Pathos Acoustics LOGOS: need your advise I have very briefly heard the Logos, but caveta: in an unfamiliar system. That said, I think the general character falls in between the Twin towers, which I own, and the version one of the Classic One.Not as warm and rich as the TT's, but still se... | |
| Speakers for NAD 3020 integrated. under $200? Add the cheaper Paradigm's and PSB's to the list, don't think either is bright, based on limited hearing of them or reviews.Of the other recommendations, the Sound Dynamics RTS-3's would be my choice, and the B&W 302 a little less so, but stil... | |
| My Cary 2A3 dilemma 2 I think your guess is right. The Cantons may need more power, and the ability to drive varying impedences better.I'm sure many will have strong recommendations for speakers to try, but you may end up finding you won't be happy even with the Cary. ... | |
| Granite Slabs If you're not TOO worried about the looks, find any local stone yard. They have "scraps" that they can let go cheaply, heck, they're usually happy to get them out of their place.I got my 12" x 12" x 16" blocks for $50 apiece (~300lbs each !). I go... | |
| Granite Slabs Hi,I had my speakers (VMPS 626 Ribbon Monitors) on top of granite blocks 12" x 12" x 16" high.I also noticed a slight tightening of the bass, but I think it went down as deep. Ultimately, what I think I eliminated was floor resonances.One other th... | |
| low cost integrated amp for newbie The best advice yet, Ann: Your own ! Follow your ears, your heart, and your wallet :-)Bring a selection of music you most like, good recording or not. Sometimes the dealer will try to impress you with superbly recorded "audiophile" music. And some... | |
| low cost integrated amp for newbie I'll chime in again. Lots of great posts, even Geoff who must "completely disagree" with me. He recommends some fine equipment, which will certainly provide a lot of long term satisfaction.I guess the ultimate question is what truly is the budget,... | |
| Life Expectancy of a NOS 5751 Vacuum Tube If anything, it may be a tiny bit more I'd think. The gain on the 5751 is a bit lower, yes ?But I happen to love 'em, using NOS 5751's now instead of 12AX7's..... |
