| Tube pre around 1000, Audible Illusions or belles I have a belles 21A with a classe amp, CA2200 and they sound very good together. I would strongly recommend one with the Auricap capacitors. These are four very large yellow capacitors that can be seen in the vent holes. I think that it was a stea... | |
| Help choose a preamp ... Belles & Wyred I would strongly suggest looking into one of the used Belles 21A with Aucicaps that come up for sale. This is a wonderful amp. I have looked at the parts of the 22A and though it is probably a very nice preamp it does not have the parts quality of... | |
| Cartridge rec. f/Nottingham Spacedeck w/Space Arm I am very happy with a shelter 501mkII. I have also heard it with a sumiko celebration and it was wonderful. For the money the Shelter is a great match. I did wear out my 501 after several years and replaced it with another at a reduced, trade in ... | |
| Shelter 901 MkII There is a review of it in one of the older Tonepublications on line mag. I'm not sure which issue. I haven't tried it. | |
| Best version of Moody Blues "Days of Future Passed Fruff1976, look at used record stores, maybe even place a few calls, especially ones that don't advertise product on ebay. Most of the ebay rarer records are grossly overpriced. I picked up my mint copy of the MSFL at my local audio store, that al... | |
| Help building new system: devore, verity or Sonus? One option you have that allows some flexibility down the road if your room size changes is to go with the Verity Parsifal Monitor. I have the Verity Parsifal Encores and when I first got them set them up with just the monitor and was really surpr... | |
| Who asked for this? I have to agree with you to a degree. I have a lot of two album 45rpm and a few of the Clarity Vinyl sets. They do sound nice. But, my best sounding LP's happen to be very well done 33 1/3. I would like to see higher quality 33 1/3. I don't mind c... | |
| Any tweaks recommded for under cd player? I use stillpoints, doesn't really extend the high end but makes it more defined, improved sound stage depth and adds clarity. I have at times tried to remove the stillpoints as I struggle with $1200 worth of little black cones under my equipment b... | |
| Thorens Sampler 3LP Sound? Wonderful LP. Mine is flawless, very dynamic and a very good choice of music. The cover is very well done. One of the finest LP's I have purchased, 5 stars all the way. | |
| Getting back into digital. Please help. No issues at all with an aggressive of mechanical sound. I have read these reports from some people and have never experienced it. I do not have the external power supply, one can only spend so much money. I find the CDX2 very musical, I am curren... | |
| Getting back into digital. Please help. I am a committed vinyl guy but am very happy with my Naim CDX2. Though I continue to listen to mostly vinyl I would say my purchase of CD's has gone up greatly since getting the Naim. | |
| Nordost Quantum Technology Products I am currently using one on demo, and it really is a positive addition. More so than when I added my shunyata hydra 6. I find that the music is more three dementional, liquid and better defind. All the things one would expect from removing a layer... | |
| Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's? Verity Audio Parsifal Encore or ovation. I have spent time in the dealers with the Wilson's, I think I know what you mean, they seemed a little forward in the upper mids, lower treble, (thought room set up and tastes can make them perfect). I have... | |
| Need Help Choosing a Tube Preamp for a Classe Amp Ha, I am looking to upgrade my preamp for the Classe CA2200 as well. I think that this is a wonderful amp and really deserves a really nice pre-amp. I auditioned the VTL 6.5 and it was magical, huge soundstage, helped better define the base and br... | |
| Record Cleaning Machine RCM I have had my 16.5 for about 5 years, cleaned about 1100 LPS in that time, each LP with two to three solutions which is 2-3 times the work of a single solution cleaning. I usually clean three LPS, both sides, and take a break. I have only repeated... |
