| Speaker disappearing act? My speakers not only disappear they are also very holographic. The down side is that when playing a very fine LP things can get out of hand. The other night I was playing the new Allison Krauss Live LP. Not only did the speakers disappear but the ... | |
| Eastern Electric Minimax phono+What Tubes? I use a Tungsol 6x4 rectifier that I got from Bill when I ordered my EE phono. My favorite tubes by far are a set of very closely matched very low microphonic NOS RCA 5814A that I got from Vinatage Tube Services. I recommend Vintage Tube Services ... | |
| tubed preamp off and ss amp left on? It might be helpful to know what equipment you have, including cables. I have a Belles 21A tube/hybrid pre with a Belles Reference 150A SS power amp and I leave my power amp on and turn off my pre and never have had a hum. | |
| Naim ? It's "name" like my name in David. Kind of a joke by the founder who couldn't figure out a Naim for his company. I have heard the Naim CDx5 and CDx2. Wonderful CDP's. I found them to be extrememly musical, wonderful range and very easy to listen t... | |
| Nottingham Spacearm vs. new Ace Space arm I recently purchased a new Spacedeck with the new Ace Space arm and did a indirect comparison. I listened to the New AceSpace turntable, (very similar to the spacedeck with heavier metal in the motor housing and arm base as well as a different bea... | |
| Best PRE AMPLIFIER / AMPLIFIER for DIVA UTOPIA The BEST? My guess is that for two channel the Wavac SH-833 would probably sound nice and bring out all that the Diva's can deliver. Might be a little overkill but it would be about the BEST. | |
| Shelter 501 mk 2/ ZYX R100H I have a Shelter 501 mk 2, I like it a lot, very dynamic, fast, great extension both with bass and highs without sounding bright or fatiguing. I would also like to hear others comments however. On some classical music I prefered the Koetsu black t... | |
| What is the best CD player under $2000 ? There are a few Used very nice Arcam FMJ 33 and 36 for sale here on audiogon, I recommend the Arcam FMJ very highly. A very musical enjoyable CDP. The many very positive reviews are spot on. | |
| Phono pre-amp for Shelter 501 MK I am extremely happy with my Eastern Electric Minimax phono. Especially after adding some NOS tubes that I got from Vintage tubes. I think that it is a great match for the 501. I think that it does work best with MC where the step up transformers ... | |
| Harbeth SHL5 vs Dynaudio Special 25 vs... Minotauro, I have not heard of the Leben but a quick internet search and I found them. WoW! what a beautiful amp. Have you listened to one? I would like to know where. If that amp sounds even close to how it looks the combination with the Harbeth ... | |
| Harbeth SHL5 vs Dynaudio Special 25 vs... Minotauro's response is why it is so important to listen to the speakers yourself. My Dynaudio's are not at all fatigueing. I have spent some nice quiet winter days in listening sessions from 6am to well past midnight spinning disk after disk and ... | |
| Harbeth SHL5 vs Dynaudio Special 25 vs... This is pretty strange, I have the Dynaudio Spedial 25 and use the Belles 21A and reference 150A amp, though I primarily listen to my, also English, Nottingham Spacedeck. I have listened to the Harbeth as well and it is a wonderful speaker. Perhap... | |
| High end turntables Why? 2 tonearms I am hoping that Rauliruegas joins this as he might have more experience than most. I have considered adding a second arm and cartridge, perhaps a Sumiko Celebration or Koetsu for classical music. But I am torn a little as to which would be better... | |
| belles 21a preamp Mine came with a 5 year warranty, contact David Belles if it is transferable. Look on the manufacturer web site for some reviews. Also, Blue Mountain Audio in Texas is a dealer for belles as well as Usher, I see you use these speakers, and might b... | |
| belles 21a preamp I have the Auricap version of the 21A and it is a wonderful amp. The 21A actually comes with mullards, I got a new set from upscale and they are identicle to what came with the amp. I just got a set of NOS RCA's from vintage tubes, (circa 1950's) ... |
