| Jazz must have pressings??? Thanks for the tip Elizabeth, will do.Philjolet, archtops with fixed pickups are my thing. They're spendy but worth it. CB is fabulous. I've too many favorites to mention, Montgomery, Burrell, Green, the list is endless. | |
| SVS Cylinder Subs - WAF I bought a PC12 to mate with a pair of CLS'. Seems folks are exaggerating the size a bit. Sure it's vertical, but it has a small footprint as far as I'm concerned. It's similar to having a double sized tube trap in the corner. The SVS is the most ... | |
| How Many Turntables Have You Owned Probably a dozen, counting the 5 I currently own now. 4 vintage JVC DD's (2 QLY-5F's a QLY7 and a QLY-3F). What can I say I have a thing for this series of early 80's DD's from JVC. They compete with almost anything current today. In my main rig I... | |
| If you could only keep 5 Lp vinyl which ones Well Inna, before JC created LS there was KOB. But hey, I could have easily said 5 copies of Blue Trane and been just as happy with that. I'm easy :)Happy holidays to all!c1 | |
| Best 300B Shuguang Black Treasures, I 3rd that emotion. Hands down the sexiest tube I've ever laid eyes on as well! | |
| How long do you wait for a check to clear Bottom line is, folks who elect to send a personal check as payment elect to wait a sufficient amount of time for you the seller to ensure the check has cleared and funds have been deposited. I'd not ship anything for 10 business days minimum. Ban... | |
| Spade to banana connectors, do they exist??? Thanks to all for the suggestions. I looked at the Cardas first, and what's up with them? They're like a tiny stub of a post. I didn't observe anything close to resembling a standard banana. I found the Monster Cable pair in a visual but didn't fi... | |
| Martin Logan For Dummies No need to go to extremes by mortgaging the home to acquire CLX's. Mofi's dead on target with the SL3's. Aside from Vantages I found the SL3's integrated quite well. Although, as per Martin Logan's manual, I'd not ask one amplifier to do the task ... | |
| Martin Logan Quest Z Bass - can it be fixed ? Well, I hate to burst the bubble of all the Xperts here, but at this very moment I'm filling the room at 85dB volume driving a pair of CLSiiZ's with a small 10 watt Class A SET integrated. These panels have the reputation for being atrocious to dr... | |
| MartinLogan CLS IIz panel upgrade Congrats Neil on the new panel install. Xmas came early at your house. The iiz's were more than worth the investment. That's less than $100 a year for the next 20. Nothing comes close to their presentation. Being the owner of one of the final pair... | |
| AV Receiver good enough for high end audio? Of course the VAC will sound "different." It's a tube amp. So often audiophiles categorize different as better. I don't confuse different with better. Different is simply that. I own some fairly hi priced gear, but keep the Sunfire around just to ... | |
| Anthem, Rotel or Sunfire? Get the Sunfire. You should be able to bridge two of the channels for extra power for your fronts and it's as good as it gets for good clean sound. Not necessary, but it's an extra bonus. The Sunfire amps run cool, and that's something to consider... | |
| Upgrade suggestions Or simply spend $500 on a mint used $1500 cartridge. I've done it here more than once. The last one I acquired, a Benz wood SH scoped out as a new cartridge would...the stylus showed zero wear. Your table is fine, now it's time to deck it out with... | |
| If you could only keep 5 Lp vinyl which ones Five copies of Kind of Blue. That's all the music anyone ever needs. | |
| Electrostat - M-L; Quad or Soundlab - reliable Ckoffend, nice analogy, and true. The short answer, don't be lazy...vacuum your speakers and cut down on maintenance by keeping them unplugged and covered from airborne particles when not in use. That's how I treat my CLSiiz's. |
