| Non classical piano based music recommendaiton Woah Bdgregory! Major groaning on "Standards". Great LP despite the moans. How about Bill Charlap (gotta plug the local favorite) and Ella Fitzgerald "Let No Man Write My Epitaph" | |
| Has Anyone Removed & Replaced the VPI Arm One thing you may want to consider is that the longer arm is more difficult to handle than the shorter one. With the unipivot design the assembly tends to be more difficult to place on the leading edge groove and remove from the center after play.... | |
| the smoothest sounding speaker I hate to argue with you Lou but in my experience it is the loudspeaker that is most often to blame for fatiguing sound. Before I found and fell in love with your DA-1's, I heard countless speakers--most often connected to top shelf electronics (b... | |
| Modern day female jazz recommendations Carole Sloan and Stacy Kent come to mind of those not mentioned already. | |
| the smoothest sounding speaker I would suggest you check out Daedalus Audio. One of Lou's key design objectives is NO listener fatigue. I had the DA-1's for a couple years and they were the most non-fatiguing (yet lively and dynamic) speaker I've ever owned or heard--and I've o... | |
| It's been said before, but I'll say it again... Not my experience, thankfully. Nearly everyone has been great and I've formed some nice connections with buyers and sellers over the years. | |
| Unhappy with tubes so which transistor amp? While I continually lust after tube amps like your Ref 110 I will probably never own one--even with a reputable outfit like ARC which has, in my experience, excellent service and customer support. I see tube power amps like woman who you want to t... | |
| Looking for the next best thing? Underground welco Here is one I keep babbling about--Daedalus Audio. I've been using the DA-1's for the past year and a half and continue to feel they are something very, very special. Lou is about finished with a new "audiophile" line with pinpoint imaging that wi... | |
| Neil Young at Massey Hall It looks like Classic Records will be releasing a 200 gram LP version of this recording. Excellent! | |
| What's the limit for cart upgrade/VPI Scout? Arnold: You may want to consider the Dynavector 20XM. In my discussions with the folks at VPI this is their "no brainer" for the Scout. I had a 20XH for a while and then switched to the medium output version and heard greater speed and detail. Not... | |
| Review: Audio Research Corporation HD 220 Amplifier Thanks, Dave. I'm currently running Daedalus Audio DA-1's which are 96db sensitive, a pretty steady 6ohm load but, according to the designer, like amps that can deliver plenty of current. I have a 20amp dedicated line serving the electronics and P... | |
| Review: Audio Research Corporation HD 220 Amplifier Dave: Any idea what the peak current output is for the HD220? The ARC site does not give this specification. The 150.2 can deliver 15amps peak current before shut down. I'm guessing the HD220 is about double that figure but would be interested in ... | |
| Review: Audio Research Corporation HD 220 Amplifier Dave:Thanks for all the time you've spent sharing info about the HD220. I'm a 150.2 user at the moment with an SP16. Before the 150.2 I had a 100.2 but it ran too warm in my in cabinet installation. The cabinet is open in the back and in the front... | |
| Hallelujah by Lenard Cohen I have a sealed LP copy of the Brandi Carlile LP for sale @ $18 if anyone is interested. | |
| Speaker Cable Suggestion I would suggest cables from Empirical Design. I ran Ridge Street Pioma!, Wireworld Polaris and, for a long while, Audience Au24 and found the ED cables to be superior in every respect. Detail without being tipped up or harsh. Holographic imaging a... |
