| Analog newbee looking for advice I guess the only other consideration is how much of the music you enjoy is readily available on vinyl. Unfortunatley, there is so much more available on CD. There is an ever increasing supply of new vinyl releases, but they are neither cheap or ag... | |
| Testicle Tumor A dear friend lost a nut to cancer many years ago. He has since fathered 4 great boys. I hope all goes well for you. | |
| noise thru tube pre?? YOu may not even have a microphonic tube. If you tap a tube directly, you will most likely hear a slight noise from your speakers. When tapping your chassis, depending on the tubes' isolation, you are most likely just transferring the tap to the t... | |
| avantgarde uno & duo I own the Unos and have heard the Duos many times. The Duos in the right room are more coherent, but oddly enough in my space challenged room, the Unos work very well. They are really UNCOLORED as far as "horn" colorations go. They sound modern, a... | |
| Which is the best SET integrated amp under $1500? YOu might look at Almarro.They have a model that uses the 6c33cb tube single ended for about 18 watts. | |
| Best CDP in the $4k to $8k range I owned the Levinson 390S and Wadia 850 as well as Accuphase DP 65. All three of these were embarassed by the 47Labs Shigaraki Dac and Flatfish transport. Don't get me wrong, they are all fine players in their own right, but music is simply render... | |
| Beginners Pre-amp I owned a BC 21.1 and thought it was great for the price. It is superbly constructed and looks cool too. You can coax excellent sound out of it with some nicer tubes and I had great results using a Stealth Cloude nine power cord with it. It has a ... | |
| Wadia 861se vs All others. I can attest to the fact that my modded 47Labs Shigaraki DAC beat the Levinson 390S and Wadia 850 in my system. The diferences are not subtle and it does not over or up sample and has no filter on the output. | |

| Vol. Control, TKD Or Dact For Counterpoint Pre ? The two that you mention are first class. | |
| Do people find the rating system useful? Thanks everyone, I feel better knowing that I wasn't off base thinking that the selected rating for the non functioning item was quite selfserving. It does make the rating system as implemented, fall suspect to its value. | |
| Do people find the rating system useful? o you think it is implied, or is the scale for appearance only? | |
| Inverted phase preamps? Blue Circle BC21.1 inverts and Gilbert said to reverse the cables at either end since this accomplishes the same thing. | |
| "Giant Killer" The things legends are made of. Fi X and Y, Radio Shack LX 5 Linaeum speakers, Sonic Impact T amp, Advent receiver, Grado fte+1, 47Labs Gaincard, Dynaco Stereo 70, Pioneer PD 65, I could go on and on. | |
| Tube amp to match sensitive Living Voice Speakers YOu might look at the Almarro 318?. I think that's the model number. It is single ended and uses 6C33CB tubes for about 18 watts |
