| Integrated amp for B&W 805S under $1200? Almost forgot: the Unison Unico!!!!!! | |
| Integrated amp for B&W 805S under $1200? With your stuff I think you should try a tube integrated. I like the Pathos a lot. Art Audio just came out with one too. With your tastes you would love the warm open sound of tubes. Don't get the Plinius. I think it is quite limited sonically and... | |
| Hobbies other than Audiophiliac? I reject that audio is a hobby. It is access to an artform. Beauty is not a hobby. To say anything less is to trivialize it. COME ON GUYS, THIS IS SACRED. | |
| Any experience with Gill/Art Audio Alana preamp I have had 2 Art Audio preamps (VPL mk2 and VPS). They were about the same, except for some feature I didn't use. I think, like some others, that this simple pre might be just as good if not better than the Alana. Granted, I have not lived with th... | |
| Company or Solitude? Dude (as they say), you KNOW it is better to listen alone. Why fight it. You know it and I know it. Let's be real about it. My wife loves to sit and listen too, but come on. It scarcely needs elucidating. It is an obvious fact of audiophilia, IMO.... | |
| Warm copper speaker cables under $500 new I whole heartedly second all of Gregg Straley's Reality Cable products. Fantastic bargain and amazing performance. Transparent as all hell and super detailed without harshness. However be careful with his tube interconnect, it doesn't work with al... | |

| Gas or Charcoal If your tube equipment gets hot enough you can roast a chicken part right on a tube or transformer. I like to add a little lemon as a conductant. | |
| great musician's audio systems If anyone knows what kind of system Jordi Savall has please tell me.Albert Porter? | |
| great musician's audio systems It would under most circumstances, but I really really like Ron Carter. I guess that's the desired effect! By the way, I bought my Tetras way before I ever saw their site and knew of these endorsements. Knowing this now actually makes me question ... | |
| great musician's audio systems I own a pair of Tetra 205's and I love them, probably because of the room, which they are perfectly suited for. I have had them in other rooms where they practically died. I have never heard the 505's, but I am sure they CAN be great. | |
| great musician's audio systems Tvad: you have good reason to be cynical. I am almost sure that Naim gave Charlie Haden that rig. The reason I believe that is he records on a Naim promo label, which seems to be a P.R. move for them. | |
| Catchy tunes that sound great? Rel: 4:33 is playing no matter what! | |
| speaker cone dust brush or cleaner Dnewhous: I have wondered about this myself, and I contacted my speakers manufacturer about it. He said just leave it or use a lightly damp cloth. BUT, that would be only for cosmetic reasons. |
