| Top Ten Tube PreAmp of all time? A Dynaco Pas3x only when used in conjunction with Nepalese Temple Ball. | |
| What does what? I agree with 61 in that synergy and your "room" are a major percentage of the total sound quality. I have dragged home both Linn Tukans and SF Concertos to find that my little Castle Isis speakers sounded better overall with my Musical Fidelity am... | |
| Cowboy Junkies fans........ Thanks for the tip Garfish. I picked up on the "Junkies" from the "Best Female Vocals" thread and randomly picked up "Miles from Home" and "Lay it Down" cheap at the local flea market. Both of the CD's are a nice listen. I especially enjoy the ele... | |
| $1k speakers / Audio Refinement Complete Idaho: There is a review of the Audio Refinement Integrated amp at soundstage.com. Click on "equipment reviews" at the top of the page and then click on "archives". The review recommends speakers as well, some of which are mentioned in this thread... | |
| Best integrated amp for Sonus Concerto Sorry Neronian. I did not notice how old the thread was. You have probably gone through several sets of speakers and amps since August. So, what are using now, need any suggestions? | |
| Best integrated amp for Sonus Concerto I listened to the Concertos paired with the Plinius integrated at a shop and it sounded fantanstic. I did a home demo of the Concertos with My Musical Fidelity 50 watts per channel amp and they did not sound good at all. There was no bass control ... | |
| Integrated for Maggie MMG's Carl: Did you try the bottleheads? If so what do you think about them? The price seems too good to be true. I have not figured out a good way other than a small chicken coop (for the amps, not the cats) to use tube amps in our home yet. But am sti... | |
| Integrated for Maggie MMG's Osclib: Yes, I am interested in how the audition goes. There are no dealers in the LA area that I can find. I had wanted to put a small SET system in our small spare bedroom, but am having second thoughts due to heavy cat traffic. Bodily fluids be... | |
| Best Speakers for small room under $3.5k Outlier: Not to nag, but also you will want to make certain that your source is well isolated. I prefer the Vibrapods under an MDF base as apposed to cones in our current placement. But will soon have to move the components (that are blocking a he... | |
| Best female vocals on CD Here's a new one that I just picked up. Dolora Zaijick "The Art of the Dramatic Mezzo-Soprano. On the Telarc label. She is a classical singer with an outstanding voice. Still really don't know who she is, but she sure can sing. | |
| Best Speakers for small room under $3.5k Outliar. What is it about the sound that you would like to improve or change? I agree with Trelja, you have a very nice set of speakers. You may also want to be certain that you have exhausted your placement options before you switch to something ... | |
| what is everybody listening to right now Right now I am listening to Dudley Moore "Songs Without Words". Before that I was listening to Lou Reed "Perfect Night Live in London" but my wife made me take it off. It's very late at night in LA. We listen to a wide variety of music in our home... | |
| Best and Worst customer service? Castle Acoustics in the UK answered all of my questions via email regarding the crossover specs of my speakers quickly and accurately. Their US rep. May Audio Marketing was also great to deal with, and supplied some of the best customer service th... | |
| Budget Powerline cond Recommendations My only experience is with the Monster HTS2000 so I cannot give you any comparisons, but it did the trick for my midfi system. I purchased it from Globe Mart as Sam mentions above. I live in an 8 unit apartment building and was not getting a very ... | |
| what is everybody listening to right now Right now I am listening to Berlioz "Le Carnaval Romain - Symphonie Fantastique". Before that I was listening to Lou Reed "Perfect Night Live in London" but my wife made me take it off. It's still morning in LA. What types of music do you prefer? ... |
