| Best Balanced Solid State/Tube Preamps I'm using an Ayre V5XE with an BAT VK-51SE and couldn't be happier. The BAT matches very well with Ayre. I previously had a Dehavilland Ultra Verve which I liked but it was not compatible with the Ayre. (could not get rid of 'hum'). If you chose a... | |
| Question for BAT 6H30 tube owners Thanks Tom--and again to everyone else! | |
| Question for BAT 6H30 tube owners Tabl10, I knew that BAT had purchased a lot of the 6H30's to provide to their customers of which I'm one--I bought a new VK51SE from them. Are you saying then that the tubes you buy from BAT are a different "vintage" and sonically better than what... | |
| best ? ss integrated for Dynaudio Contour 1.3SE I owned the 1.3s for 5 years and I agree with the above comment that you may be hard pressed to properly match them on a 1 to 1.5K budget. I don't think they're as efficent as the new lineup from Dynaduio and I feel they need a lot of current to r... | |
| B&W 802D vs. Sophia and Jppenn, at the likely risk of being ridiculed by Judy..thank you for a well written, helpful and informative description of your comparision. | |
| What Speakers Do Audio Insiders Own? For you classical lovers, I've read that Michael Tilson Thomas owns the Eggleston Andra. Don't know if MTT qualifies as an "audio insider" but he's one heck of a conductor :) | |
| Who is the best classical pianist alive? I don't know who 'the best' is, but while surfing tonight I hit the Ms. America show-- and I can tell you Miss Georgia is the most attractive classical pianist. | |
| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? I'm waiting for a pair to hit the classifieds. Hopefully Audiogon will have a used bluebook price soon. | |

| Everything Bach ever wrote When the poster said 'opera', my guess is he meant cantatas, oratorios or maybe the 'passions' :) .. | |
| Everything Bach ever wrote thanks for the info..to celebrate Beethoveens birthday, NPR has been playing his music all day long.. As I do not fall into the liberal camp, it's nice that music transcends politics.. My hat is off to both stations for these tributes :) | |
| tyler linbrook signatures vs. b&w 802 Thank you Tom Ryan. I hope you too don't mysteriously perish. [http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?gmusi&1133457554&openusid&zzClassical1&4&5#Classical1] Merry Christmas to all of the Audiogon community. | |
| tyler linbrook signatures vs. b&w 802 Krellm7..I've seen posters ask polite questions about B&W and Judy426 will attack like a pit bull. For you to be talkin' smack about B&W, I'm afraid this could get very ugly. You are about to face the wrath of Judy426, my friend..good luck. | |
| CHRISTMATH... The nicest Nutcracker I have heard is by the Kirov Orchestra / Valery Gergiev.. If you are looking for one to buy-I highly suggest this recording--and sonically it is almost perfect. |
