| Music is FUN What did Johan Sebastian say when he arose from the dead? I'm Baaach. | |
| Anyone else receive low offers right away ? I think there are competing forces here. 1) There really are folks who seem to offer 30% or so below going rate as soon as the ad comes out. 2) On the other hand, things go fast, particularly good things that are less than $2000.00. This means tha... | |
| Where to buy vinyl in London? Thanks, folks. I'm staying in Shoreditch, and looking forward to a little vinyl hunting. Will also check out Ronnie Scott's when I'm there. | |
| "Brand New"...I don't think so I think Swanny has it right for many of the items like this. In past jobs I've managed dealer networks, and one of the ways that dealers got around my MAP (minimum advertised pricing) was selling new equipment as "open box". I've also bought a PS ... | |
| Audio Research LS9 Used? The Classe matching pre-amp from that era was also very good. Give more details about what you liked about the LS9 and maybe folks can help you. I owned one and loved it for many years, but even I don't quite know what you like about it, or ... | |
| Acoustic Zen -- Tsunami II OR Tsunami Plus This is a small industry. When you buy Acoustic Zen products, you're buying Robert Lee's products. If he told you it was so, you have no reason to believe otherwise. I own Adagio speakers, Satori speaker cables, Matrix Ref II interconnects, and Ts... | |
| Ashes. Snow. Love. Thanks. I loved Kate Bush in the 80's, but just wasn't that interested in hearing the new album. I'll give it a shot based on this. | |
| Anyone heard Rockport Technologies Mira Grand II There's a fairly long Dagogo review you should check out. I heard them extensively, but only with one set of electronics. Positioning them out into the room is important. The woofers are side-firing, so you need to have some flexibility in how you... | |
| Pre-amp with balanced suggestions? Lots of good stuff in that price range - I second the Aesthetix Calypso. If you research this, don't let the folks who tell you to tube roll scare you off. The stock tubes sound great. I have used both the stock tubes and NOS tubes from Andy's Vin... | |
| Review: Martin Logan SL3 Speaker Thanks for posting this. It's really good to hear of your experience. I owned SL3s for almost 8 years and was never really happy with them. Some recordings sounded great, most didn't. The difference between the panel and the woofer was always dete... | |
| First foray into separate 2-channel amp, 200wpc You might try an Acurus amp - plenty of power, even the 150 watt version - a high-current design that sounds very good for the price. I've also owned a B&K amp around that price that was surprisingly good. You will be limited by the pre-amp, b... | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Adagio Speaker Nice review. I also own the Adagio's and love them. Like you, I find they are very responsive to upstream equipment. Also like you, I love Magnepans, and these are some of the only cone speakers that capture almost all of the Maggie magic but with... | |
| CONUNDRUM I'm not 100% sure this will help, but here are a couple of things to consider: From the Calypso manual : Note: The input circuitry of the Calypso accepts a maximum input voltage of 3.5v rms single-ended or 7v rms balanced. This is well above the i... | |
| 5+ years old $5k player vs. current $2k player There's as many answers as there are combinations. My old Theta David transport completely shamed my current OPPO BDP-83. If it didn't burn through laser transports every few years at a very high price, I would still have it. | |
