| Help chossing a good speaker. $ 3-5 K Ebenai:How did you like the Harbeth M30's? Given your room, equipment and musical tastes I think you will be hard pressed to do better. I ran a pair of Compact 7's in a 11 X 11 room some years back and they had plenty of bass for that space. I thi... | |
| the dead on tour again. ---two questions: Hey, I would put the original Grateful Dead on my list of the top five rock bands of all time. I regularly listen to their classic albums (American Beauty, Skull and Roses, Steal Your Face, Workingman's Dead, ETC). But let's get real--the last tim... | |
| the dead on tour again. ---two questions: Third question--who cares? | |
| ARC LS26 performance for $2500-3000? The only preamp that comes to mind is a Modwright 36.5 which you may be able to pick up used around 3K. In my search I was torn between the 36.5 and the LS-26 and had I gone for a DNA-500 I may have picked the Modwright, which I'm told is a great ... | |
| ARC LS17 vs. LS26 If you do a search here you will find at least two threads which address your question and which were helpful to me when making my decision. I haven't compared them but FWIW am in love with my LS-26. | |
| Vote for your "Favorite Christmas Music CD or LP" This year I've been listening to Aimee Mann and Mindy Smith. Both are better than most but I'm still getting tired of the genre and it's only the 26th! | |
| ARC LS26 versus Cary SLP-05 I've just added an LS-26 to my system, running it into a 150.2. Simply fantastic. I would echo what has been said here and elsewhere--the LS-26 is a beautifully made, well designed, great sounding preamp. Having said that, I have found that pairin... | |
| System Advice Please Just wanted to get back to everyone with an update. I sold my SP-16 and picked up an LS-26 which I installed on Friday. I'm very pleased with the results. In comparing the two through the linestage only the LS-26 is simply cleaner, more detailed, ... | |
| Replace au24 speaker cable??? I went from Au24 to Empirical Design cables and gained noticeable improvement across the board. The ED cables were both more detailed and more natural sounding, particularly through the midrange. It is also an excellent company to do business with... | |
| "Fun" Speaker As An Alternative To Revel Salon I With the Clayton's I'd recommend speakers from Daedalus Audio. Lou is a big fan of the Clayton amps--I'm not sure if there is a manufacturer out there whose gear mates better with his stuff. I'm not sure about "inserting" the Daedalus in every onc... | |
| System Advice Please Thanks everyone. My plan is to upgrade my table and cartridge at some point in the future but right now I want to see how much performance I can wring out of my Scout/Dyna set up. My thinking is that a separate phono stage or a better one that is ... | |
| Shelby Lynne Live Saw her late last month at the Mexicali Blues Cafe in Teaneck NJ. Great show with about 75 enthusiastic listeners. I particularly liked the songs she did off the new record. BTW, you can hear the bleed through on the tape particularly well right b... | |
| CDP's being dumped for hard drive driven units? In the 80's I built an entire classical music collection from the LP's people were dumping in exchange for CD's. Now I'm building an entire CD and SACD collection from the silver discs people are dumping in exchange for hard drive systems. I'm sur... | |

| New Bel Canto Gear at RMAF Thanks for your input. It's the new 500 monos that have caught my attention are are in my price range. Do you recall how the rest of the system at RMAF was configured? Were the M500's being show with the Pre 3? Were they using the Bel Canto Dac or... |
