| Is 5 Watts enough for Horns ? I have 6 watts on mine and am never wanting more..... I had a very reputable reviewer tell me I needed more with AVG.... don't know what planet that guy is on. The Art Audio PX25 amp I have is pretty darn sweet, IMHO.Chris | |
| my rant on new single disc players under $500 Sorry about your luck.... Why not just bite the bullet, buy a Theta Miles for $700-$900 and have the volume control, and a CD player, that will tromp all over the one's you are mentioning for $500 and under?Chris | |
| Speakers to replace Martin logan Prodigys I went through a similar process... I owned Prodigy's (and absolutely loved them (and no, the Summits aren't close IMHO)). I had to sell becouse I couldn't continue to run a monster tube amp in the Texas summer (and the damn thing kept blowing up)... | |
| audio magazines as .pdf files - hifi+ specifically I tried the HiFi+ news-stand download... It worked very well; kind of like a version of Adobe Acrobat. The pics looked superb.. In the end I couldn't get used to it though... I couldn't take it into the bathroom.Chris | |
| Best bargain for speaker that can offer top sound I have to agree with Eldart on this one... I have a pair of Maggie 1.6's in my second system and have been tempted to sell them and get something else (they aren't too abtrusive, but in my living room a nice set of pretty floorstanders might be be... | |
| For the vinyl enthusiasts Austin, TX.... Waterloo Records, one of the best indies out there mostly CD but the vinyl is growing. Backspin lot's of good used stuff. CD Exchange, lot's of used LP's, punk rock and indie stuff. How could I forget Antones... R&B, Rockabilly,... | |
| VPI record clamp There should be a small rubber washer, about the size of a quarter, that slips over the spindle and sits on the platter. The record sits on this washer and then is held tight by the clamp. Is this there?.... I can't tell from your post. Might be t... | |
| Most Quiet TUBE Preamp. Linestage. $ 12K or less I think Matt does a great job summing things up... It's funny how you read these reviews in magazines (or sometime posts on Agone) that tell how component X just killed component Y and it's the BEST ever, etc. Then you have a chance to hear three ... | |
| Anyone settled in on Purist Aqueous interconnects? This wire still seems to have a polarized opinion associated with it. I tried it a year or so ago and thought it was almost unlistenable..... And I am a huge fan of Purist products. I borrowed from the Cable Co. and was assured they were burnt and... | |
| Most Quiet TUBE Preamp. Linestage. $ 12K or less Some friends and I (hey Matt) recently did a little preamp comparison with an ARC Ref3, BAT 51se, and my Aesthetix Callisto. All three were very quiet on my AVG's... And believe me when I say that with these speakers you are going to hear a noisy ... | |
| Long distance from amp to speakers Do what Albert say's..... | |
| Alison Kraus : So long so wrong ; Vinyl I have the MoFi release too. It sure sounds clear, crisp, modern..... Digital??? My main problem with the whole deal is the amount of crappy digital reverb they have overlaid on everything. Why do people feel like they have to sound like they are ... | |
| CD player wanted $500-$1000 Theta Miles (balanced version).... I haven't heard anything that really beats it for less than 6k.Chris | |
| Tube rings for power tubes? Don't take this as gospel, but I am pretty sure Herbie's offers a 30 day money back on all of their products. I know Steve does with his smaller tube dampers, record mats, etc. FWIW, I have his smaller tube dampers on my amp and really like them.C... | |
| Best Acoustic Guitar Players Of All Time? I can't figure why Doc Watson isn't on this list??? No Tony Rice, Norman Blake??? Clarence White?!? Flat pickers of the world rebel!Ma'God.. Then there's Eddie Lang,Lonnie Johnson... Oh, That gypsy guy... Django something..Robert Johnson.. Could b... |
