Plinius SB-301. thoughts and opinions?
Everyone always say's "Where'd they hide the tubes" meaning those that like harmonics of tube amps like Plinius.I think it and some other like Parasound JC1's have developed a following that 20 years ago Threshold had.I am thinking obout it myself... 
what amp for Mark & Daniels Mini's?
Think they need power.Read 6moons or ask Underwoodwally.But from what I read they can suck it down (or up as it were).Of course how big a room and what levels you want to bring it to.Pass would be nice is my guess but you would be loooking at the ... 
Power Cords for TW Raven AC & Levinson 390
Spend on amp get a hospital grade Hubbel,Belkin or whatever for motor controller.Don't spend dough on Motor controller.Some might buy expensive PC's I think your better off putting it into interconnects or other areas of system.Chazz 
Vinyl flaw? Problem with system? Rare pressing?
Maybe it's there without music if you play it in reverse!C 
Sub for Quad ELS-989
Macdad is on right trail.if you think your speakers are working properly but large scal orchestra or anything below 40Hrz or 30Hrz is setting them off best thing would to be to crossover the signal before it goes to Quads and a sub.You are doing H... 
Need budget, used tube preamp to go with Bel Canto
I've owned CJ amps and Pre's.PV series is cheap built is noisy.Spend on better series and they are winners and since you've bought this is for others.I would have suggested an Audible Illusions is well designed and didn't changed for years and was... 
Totem subs
Srom was and is the standard bearer along with Vandersteen because they use multi drivers but Totem do as well.Another fast (i.e accurate pitch sub) would be Martin Logan Depth.A spin off company from REL workers is MJ Acoustics.I think I'd spend ... 
New power amp for Quad 11Ls
Yeah a Class D 100 watt would rock.I have the Quad 11L but they are self powered.I wish I had the 12L amped version though and w have heard that some prefer passive ones.A small sub would be good to fast and music not HT oriented (Aperion 8S or HS... 
Amp rec needed for Quad 21l2
That's not a bad list by knownothing.Doesen't Jolida make a 100 watt Hybrid in case at that price?The 1501?Plenty of power and touch of tubes and same cheap $350 used $600 new.Rega Brio if you can swing price though that's because I haven't heard ... 
Mold on lps and record sleeves..HELP
DO NOT USE LYSOL!!!!!Cure would be worse than diseas.You want to dry them out and then just wipe them down with moist cloth.Smell will go away after time but remain to some dgree.Just get them into dry environment but Lysol will ruin covers and in... 
Zu Druids upgraded Vs Essence
Want to hop on this thread myself to hear difference in speakers.Price drop from $5K to $3500 and difference in tweeter I'd like to know myself.Read 6moons review of both and got me wondering if I'd buy direct and new once I have ditched some othe... 
Amplifier for Audio Physics Virgo II
Interested that 70 wpc won't do it.I know one system in virtual forums where guy took his and had it and a second wired in mono for 170 wpc.Friend owns Cary Sli80 and loves it.You might not be able to swing it in triode but 80 wpc in tubes is clos...

Upgrade from Quad 11L?
Have the active 11's and they are just too small 12's are better but for cost if you have space go for 21's or 22's if you like sound and want to stay in same line.If you need bookshelves NHT Classic 3's are harder to find now but for a But I'd al...
