Affordable High Watt Tube Amp Wanted
Hi,I guess I should be more specific.A couple of months ago I bought a Rawson Aleph Mini J. 15 wpc of pure class A fire.The mini is an incredible amp that reminds mevery much of the N.Pass built Aleph-3 I once owned. At first I used the Mini with ... 
Who makes these? what is the value on them?
I own a pair of these speakers.They are Soundwave Grand Soliloquy Seris II.They retailed for $3600 and were made from the early 90's to the late 90's.They were built south of Rochester,NY in the sticks of honeyoe falls-Lima close to where Bobby P.... 
Rawson Resale......
I may be the biggest AudiogoN junkie alive.For over 10 years I've I've hit 'new today' at least 20 times a day. Always on the look out for a killer deal I cant afford.T.Rawson's amps show up now and then.In fact,I count about 5 in the listings.All... 
Rawson Resale......
I want to go on the record I 'possibly' own the best sounding amp I have ever owned,be it tube or solid state,and the amp only cost me $235 shipped.A Rawson Aleph Mini JI had a Pass Labs Aleph-3 a few years ago,and made a blunder by selling it in ... 
Rawson Resale......
Wwoof01- I see you are a new member here and this is your first posting.Im wondering why you picked Tim Rawson's amps when there are countless other 'raved' about products that are bought and re-sold?What is your motive? 
Anticables Review
"you get what you pay for" ??I think most audiophiles know more money doent mean better sound.The Anti-cables are a perfect example of this false thinking.I have a single run with bare wire ends and I made jumpers from a bit of Anti-cable I didnt ... 
Is cheap, smooth, digital sound possible?
Stereophile did a recent review of the Sony Playstation 1, and the reviewer said he couldnt understand what all the fuss was about with the Sony he had been reading about on the web.I'd get a Bolder modded Art DI/O DAC for ~$350 and try it with bo... 
Crunch time:used preamps $500
Hi,I had the orignal Rogue 99 and the Rogue 66 magnum.I just bought a Melos Sha-1 and its the most neutral and enjoyable preamp I have owned.They usually run $450-$500 
Which 6SN7's for Rogue 99 Pre
You only need 2 quality 6SN7's for the 99 Mag.The 2 other tube positions have no effect on the sonics.I cant remember which 2 positions to use quality tubes in. Ask Mark before you lay down big bucks for 4 tubes. 
Anyone here using vintage speakers?
I have a pair of 1970's Sansui sp-2700's.These are VERY good sounding and very cool looking speakers.These are the most neutral and best sounding speakers I have ever owned.I noticed no one mentioned the Sansui sp line of speakers.Has anyone owned... 
Freak Me Out
Thanks all!! Since I started this thread 6 years ago,I'm too old now to be freaked out..Gotta watch the ticker!!How about the soundtrack to "The Lost Highway"?? A good one! 
Help me buy a magical pre-amp that doesn't exist
I guess the title of your thread is your answer.What you want doesnt exist.People are trying to help you,maybe you should chill. 
Help me buy a magical pre-amp that doesn't exist
I'd get a tube preamp if I were you.Turn the preamp off when not listening,and back on 1/2-1 hour before you listen.The Dared SL-2000a 2005 or 2006 models are in your price range used.If you want new you'll have to get a 2007 model which is no dif... 
Best drink while listening to your rig?
Tang for me 
Harbinger of the future of 2-channel?
Then the one person with one earbud will be reduced to mono,which some 'still' enjoy.
