| DAC for Olive musica This is the combo I'm looking at as well. | |
| Best nos 6sn7g for my Atmasphere mp1. Andy is the best. He sold me many a fine tube, especially 6SN7s. This is a huge loss for tube audiophiles. | |
| Information for Joule Electra LA100 Mark III I have the manual and the instructions for biasing the tubes. Email with your address. I bought an LA-200 (based on the serial number the first unit made) about a year ago from the person who originally reviewed the preamp in PF (the review is on ... | |
| All Japanese system 213cobra -I'm curious about the CDP, which I would use as a transport primarily. Have you heard this player? Price is right but by the time shipping and duties are applied it could be just as easy to snag a CEC transport. | |
| JLTI can any one comment on this? I was under the impression, perhaps incorrectly, that the line Jay carries is made in Switzerland and not Australia. I have heard there are some differences between the two. Can you clarify this? Also, can you expand on the power supply comment. I... | |
| Are ICEpower amps really that good? I don't think I have ever heard the ICE amps, but have definitely heard my share of digital amps. Most enjoyable of the bunch were the Channel Islands amps. They don't look like much and they are simply designed, but the sound was excellent. Howev... | |
| Long interconnect or short Speaker Cables I did read with interest the review discussing the Zobels as posted by Sdcampbell. I just have to wonder if it truly is accurate and even if it were if I can hear the difference. I'm not an engineer, but I have to think the people at A-C know what... | |
| Long interconnect or short Speaker Cables Not only are the A-C Zobels free, they will integrate them into the cable for you, which is what they did on my MI-2. | |
| Home Entertainment Show in Los Angeles The Stereophile Room was definitely the best. Eighth Nerve products really made a difference in there (compared to upstairs where Rives had a before and after test set up with two rooms). Nathan Loyer is a pleasure to speak with and it's nice to b... | |
| The best power conditioner for less than $1K? Jafox - a tubed DAC is not the only option to achieving analog sound from CD playback. Non-os DACs, tubed or not, accomplish this as well, and in many cases for a lot less money.As for the other recommendations, I would say the preamp will have th... | |
| Best used amp in the $1500 range I thought the Channel Islands amps sounded excellent. I heard them at Dusty Vawters and again at RAMF. Very impressive amps, the 200 being a bit better than the 100. Also, I hear Ric at EVS has a killer amp at a very reasonable cost. I believe bot... | |
| What will beat ear 834p by a margin There is a Hagerman Trumpet on Audiogon right now for $1250 that includes NOS tubes. That is a steal assuming it is in excellent condition. You may need to run a step-up with it, I use the K&K Audio step-up with mine, but the sound is phenomen... | |

| Help me identify this turntable Mirland,I have been a SOTA owner for 10 years, first the Star Series III and recently the Nova Series V. One thing I would encourage you to do now that you know it is a SOTA Comet is to call Kirk and Donna at SOTA if you need further information. ... | |
| Comparisons of Audience and VH Flavor 1 PC's I agree the Audience is very detailed and also very flexible. The VH Audio Flavor 4 is more stiff and may be hard to maneuver in a rack.Mechans - yes I meant warm when I said laid back, which as I said is not a bad thing. I actually use the Audien... |
