The many musical faces of Mr. Miles Davis?
On "Star People" on the first half, he plays traditional St. Louis blues, very nice. Don't know if it is preferred, but was a nice variation. 
Review: Allnic T-1500 300B Integrated amplifier Tube amp
Nice review, Gersimon.I like the Shuguang Treasure 300b as well. Pretty tubes at night with their purple on black crowns, with the purple dancing with the signal. 
Best System for Pink Floyd
I just spent some time on head fi to shop for headphonea and got a nice pair of Ultrasone Edition 8's. They are amazing on ipods and also with the main system using a Manley Neo 300b for headphones. However, the majesty of the "big rig" isn't cha...

Thank you, Audioblazer. If you could PM me, I will answer your question. I don't want to publicly be dropped in boiling oil by mnfctrs or fans by mentioning the brand names publicly.

Allnic Verito Z:Owners and those familiar

Allnic Verito Z:Owners and those familiar
I installed my current model Verito Z over the weekend. Nobody should listen to a new cartridge until it has run in a few sides unless they enjoy suffering, but I did anyway, and suffer I did with some unusual wooly sound. However, after about fou... 
Review: ALLNIC HT 2500 Head Amplifier Nuvistor Tube preamp
Thanks, guys, glad you enjoyed the review.It is interesting that head amps are being "rediscovered" since being stalled from the 70's and 80's heydeys, both new production and appreciation of the older models.

DaVinci tonearm and azymuth
I don't have this problem with my first generation Da Vinci Grandezza arm and the Clearaudio Harmony Mg.For what it is worth, and I don't vouch for its accuracy, Soundscape Hi Fi in Singapore state the following about the Grandezza arm: "Double gi...
