| Best Preamp = No Preamp? Just to add a different perspective, if I am not mistaken the 600 ohm standard was originated by the telephone industry (good old Ma Bell) back in the day and adopted by the professional audio industry. Seems the phone company knew the benefit of ... | |
| Cartridge impedance loading question I load everything at 47k these days as I now use an Atma-Sphere MP-3. I have tried different loading for my MC cartridges but hear no difference. I remember talking to Keith Herron several years ago at a RMAF show. I asked why his phonostgae did n... | |
| the difficult second Lp Disagree on Television's Adventure. While at first I did not think it was better than Marquee Moon, Over the years I have found it to be an exquisite alternative. However, Verlaine's second solo LP was not up to par with the debut.I think the seco... | |
| Maggie Disappointment I currently have both the Quad and Jazz Modules. I have always wanted to hear a set of Quad ESL-57s. Problem is finding a really good set or investing in a good restoration. I placed a WTB add on AC and a gentleman from TX offered me his set. Pric... | |
| Maggie Disappointment I had the same experience with Maggies that Zd542 did. I really wanted to like them but next to my AudioKinesis Jazz Modules they were a disappointment. On the other hand the Quad ESL-57 speakers I have now are another story. The Maggies are a gre... | |

| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers The Music Reference RM-200 has 1, 2, 4, and 8 ohm tap configurations. Although it is a hybrid amp, in this case the input is solid state, while the output is tube driven. | |
| Requesting info on Audio Kinesis ZEPHRIN Speakers We used the Zephrin's in our exhibit room at the Newport Show last spring with both ours and Atma-Sphere amps. The set up worked quite well. Robert E. Greene stopped by our room twice to hear the speakers and was pretty giddy over the concept and ... | |
| Super-sensitive volume controls - remedy? That is how I have run my Atma-Sphere amps as well due to the balanced output of my digital sources being 4.5 and 5.5 volts respectively. Atma-Sphere also provided with shorting plugs for the phono section of my MP-3 preamp as well for an extremel... | |
| Fritz Carbon 7 and tube amp? Fritz and I have exhibited together at audiophile shows for a few years now. The Carbon 7 speakers are a smooth 6 ohm load that we are easily able to drive with our 12 watt 300B tube amp. So the notion that a solid state or tube amp with a fair am... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? The NAS will be better than the Mini if you believe less is more. I have a Synology and run MinimServer on it. A 4 bay model with 4 1TB Western Digtal Red drives in Raid 1 configuration.The flash drive by LessLoss won't be able to crush anything i... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? What I like about Ethernet is there is no timing involved from the NAS to the streamer. Also, in my case since the streamer and renderer are one and the same, the clocking is done at only one point in the chain. In my opinion this is probably the ... |
