| Anyone have any experience w/ Usher AC-10's?... Heard the AC 10's at a local dealer about seven months ago. I thought they were quite impressive listening to MO FI Muddy Waters CD. They were easily able to portray Muddy's guitar and his vocals were quite realistic. However, I heard them in a ve... | |

| Need a Basic Education on the LP12 Todd,I used to have a Basik Plus arm.Replaced it with a WTA arm. BTW there is a good write up of Well Tempered in the current Absolute Sound. This was an ear opening experience. The WTA is in a completely different league to the Basik Plus. I AB'e... | |
| Tube Pre and Solid Amp I have been using a CAT Sig pre-amp with GE smooth plates and a Rowland Model 8 amp (ss) for several years. The combo is truly a great match. I used to have a tube amp ( a Melos) but the heat, reliablity, and the concern about where on the tube li... | |

| $4500 amp beat out the Tenor OTL in the latest TAS Audioak, the sound of the guitar needs only to be one(1) string plucked to hear the difference.Playing the instrument myself or having someone else play it, the basic intrinsic differences are still painfully obvious.Just as my example in the firs... | |
| $4500 amp beat out the Tenor OTL in the latest TAS Looking at this thread,one thing seems to have been missed . That is the fact that many mags, particularly Abo Sound profess to compare reproduced sound to the live experience. Well let me tell you,listening to my Taylor guitar's sound and compari... | |
| Hovland HP-100 vs. CAT SL1 Ultimate: Feedback Compared a HP-100 to my CAT signature modded with NOS GE smooth plates. No comparison, the CAT is way more dynamic, drops down into the low end with much more authority and the depth portrayal recreates the back of the stage with much bettter prec... | |
| What is the best CDP to be used as a Transport? Abex, a tech guy who I trust told me recently after he had serviced my CD80 that in fact this unit is the same as a Revox pro unit and that is why it is built like a tank.My experience with the CD80 and the EAD really leaves me with little desire ... | |

| Best Tonearm Upgrades for Linn LP12 I too had a Basik Plus arm.Changed it out with my current Well Tempered Arm. If you can find one grab it....HUUUUUGE difference. Mine has been modded with VDH wiring, dual weighting and new arm wand. However,prior to the mods the diff between the ... | |
| What is the best CDP to be used as a Transport? Abex, if you can try a EAD 7000 Mk 3 or 9000, you might want to keep your cd80. They have a great interface and are pretty reliable. Just a thought. | |
| Review: Philips CD-880 CD Player Newyorkjosh,I got the EAD 7000 Mk 111 about two weeks ago. The CD 80 is now hooked up to it via a Harmonic Tech Cyber Platinum IC and the sound is amazing.I have the CD80 on its own dedicated stand with Combak Harmonix footers beneath it. Did an A... | |
| best upgrade for 'standard' LP12 Praudio, I am also curious about the power cord. On my LP12 the power cord is hard wired in. How to change it out? BTW I sit my table on a Seismic sink which really sounds amazing.. big improvement IMHO. | |
