My latest find. What's yours? Here's the "Dirty Dozen" from the last few weeks of thrift shop picking. 1. "Cinema", Philp Aaberg (solo piano) on Winham Hill Records. 2. "New Jazz Conception", Bill Evans Trio on Riverside Records. 3. "Sunday at the Village Vandguard", Bill Evan... | |
new system for beginner Masdm: Please provide the approx. size of your room, your real world budget (high and low) and whether you would prefer larger (tall, as many of the better ones are narrow) floor standing speakers or stand mounted monitors. A good system, IMO, is ... | |
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Redkiwi: Thanks, I will give this a try in couple of weeks when the fresh pair of IC's break in. I am going to break them in with daily music as you did. I need to get the spare bedroom system setup again (with the SS amp and the CDR) for my godso... | |
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Kitch: I am starting from scratch again with a new set of IC's (longer this time) that I just made up from the OTA kit. Things were sounding too pat and I needed a change. | |
"Vintage" speakers...good idea? A much better speaker from the same time period are the Yamaha 1000 Studio Monitors. They seemed to be fairly efficient as I once ran a pair with a single Dynaco Stereo 70 with good results. There were a couple of different versions/models and I c... | |
Confused By A Transport Upgrade Hi Jim: It just dawned on me that the outlet that I am using at this time tests as having an open ground (which is none at all I think). We have another line going to the living room that also is not properly grounded. I have not gotten around to ... | |
How can you tell when tubes are shot? I like Sugarbrie's take which is an easy way to tell. Another thing to watch out for (if you are not used to switching/comparing tubes) is to allow them to cool all the way down before handling/changing them. Not doing so can damage or take a lot ... | |
Heads up on Toshiba SD-6200 What is it? | |
Highest B/B If you have a friend with a SS setup, just switch speakers for awhile (if they are up for it). | |
Tube amp newbie- where can I learn?? Sutts: I just read your recent post (another thread) and you answered my question of where you found a combo of amps like this. The farthest I will ever get is to maybe add a single SS powered sub down the line. Good go. | |
Confused By A Transport Upgrade Whatjd: If the cable is not a part of the "stereo", can this still make a difference? I assume that our electrical panels are connected to a different earth ground than the cable (which is a cold water pipe as you mentioned), but will double check... | |
Best Vinyl stores in L.A. Kubla: Both of those and many of the others. It's hit and miss, but they get new (old) collections in all the time and always have many on hand. I just started checking out the vinyl recently, but have purchased at least 300 CD's from them in the ... | |
BMI Whale Elite - Construction? Asa: I used the Whale on my Audion Silver Night 300B (when the DAC was away for upgrades) though it was not a very good test as this particular amp is fairly cavalier about which cord powers it. The Whale however is one of only two PC's that I hav... | |
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit RedKiwi: Next time you are up to bat, please explain the image "thing" a bit further. I think that this is what I also mentioned at the end of my chat, but did not know how to go about explaining it properly. To further explain, specific placement... | |
Confused By A Transport Upgrade Thanks for the product name Pls1. I will try to find it elsewhere though as I have decided not to do business with AA in the future. |
