| Tube Preamps...I'm sold Audiofeil,old age does not necessarily equate to the ability to make sound judgments in any field,and the evaluation of audio components is no exception.And yes I am an amateur in audio.I don't make my living selling audio or anything related to i... | |
| Tube Preamps...I'm sold I count at least 14 different plugs for Placette by Teajay.I appear to have about 5 for Shindo.So there! Jmcgrogan2 | |
| Tube Preamps...I'm sold Well,Jmcgrogan2, I am surprised that in all fairness you don't ask Teajay if he has financial ties to placette.If you check,I think you will find that he has reccommended placette on more threads than I have ever mentioned Shindo.And I am sorry th... | |
| Tube Preamps...I'm sold I have used passive preamps in the past and liked it better than the active stages I tried.I then went dCS straight into different amps for quite a while and preferred that to the couple of preamps that I tried(amateur that I am,Audiofeil).But whe... | |
| Tube Preamps...I'm sold I don't remember making any personal remarks,Teajay.And everbody finds me condescending(and that IS a personal remark).The Monbrisson is not a linestage,it is a full function preamp with an unbelievable phonostage built in. If you have access to a... | |
| Tube Preamps...I'm sold Teajay,why don'y you identify the "mystery" Japanese line stage?Sounds like you tried the WRONG Japanese brand.And do you really still place at the top of your list "soundstage" and "details"?I moved beyond that audiophile Chimera years ago.Might ... | |
| Amps for Avantgarde Best thing I found on Duos was the Shindo Cortese.Second best was Tom Evans Linear A.The Tron stuff is supposed to be good ,too. | |
| Tube Preamps...I'm sold Shindo Monbrisson at $7,900.The best tube preamp you could hear,unless you want to try the more expensive Shindo preamps.No balanced connections and no remote.Hitherto unexperienced musical bliss.http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/shindo/monbrison... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music "Love Will Keep Us Together" by The Captain(not really a captain) and Tennille.So pretty it hurts.Ouch. | |
| Best rock song of all times I don't know if this qualifies as Rock,exactly;but I would vote for Sugar Sugar by the Archies2nd--Rockin' Love,by Josie CottonAnother Good one:I Get Around by a band called the Beach Boys.They were pretty good. | |
| Need your help finding a pair of speakers......... What type of music do you want to reproduce?If you want speakers that get out of the way of the reproduction better than just about anything in existence,that are state-of -the -art imagers,true point sources and reveal previously unimagined textu... | |
| Anyone Totally Content With Their System? For the first time ever I am completely content with my system and until recently I thuoght such a level of content would be unattainable for me.Two things I have learned.An audiophile probably won't ever be satisfied untill he discovers exactly w... | |
| Cain v Hornseshoppe v Omega v Lowther Phy driver,like lowther but with bass,warm,inviting sound and no SHOUT.Oceilla and Auditorium23 make speakers based on the driver.Alot of guys just buy the driver and put it into an open baffle(a piece of plywood),at least to begin with.About 97db... | |
| Zu tone or Druid or which Omega ? Last mistaken poster I will respond to on this thread.One of my favourite artists is Bjork.Really like Portishead,too.Electronica is not a bunch of instruments.It is synthesised sound.Sometimes very interesting sound,usually not.I don't cotton to ... | |
| Zu tone or Druid or which Omega ? To promote their speakers Zu through a Rave featuring their speakers,with DJ's and the whole bit.You don't know about it,because nobody showed up.It was in LA,I believe.If the Zu boys think their speakers are perfect for a rave,then I agree with t... |
