| Pre-amping a Trends Audio TA 10.1? Currently using a TA 10.1, my tube SET is away for a bit. Using a Transcendent Sound GG pre in front. The addition of a (good) tubed pre makes the Trends, IMHO, quite good to listen to. Without the pre, the TA 10.1 isn't the same beast at all! Don | |
| Help with isolation for Linn LP12 on wood floor I've been using mine on SoundOrganization wall mount rack for 20> yrs. to very good effect. The lightweight base that forms the "floor" seems to be key. I've tried various substitutes, always gone back to the lightweight one Don | |
| Unique Guitarist Andy Mckee Found on YouTube Andy is indeed strongly influenced by Michael Hedges. Saw him recently in concert in Victoria, B.C., with Don Ross, and Michael Manring. Very fine music, by 3 excellent players.(Manrings bass playing is truly special) Don | |
| Linn Majik Try taking the case off (unit unplugged, of course!)and giving the power switch a shot of contact cleaner. Back when I had my Majik, that did the trick. | |
| Best Cd Player under $100,000 Ummm, How many zero's is that? | |
| Omega speakers The above advice re: the Brine's MLTL's is worth noting. They are very good speakers. Not financially ruinous either! | |
| I need a quiet tube amp Check out www.decware.com. Their Zen triodes are DEAD quiet, and oh so engaging! | |
| My frugal dream be merciless Zen Se84CS SET, Hornshoppe loud speakers, cat-5 cables, add a decent source and you'll have a system that'll put many much more costly one's to shame. ( www.decware.com) | |
| Good value phono preamp for MM cartridge For $40usd as a kit, or $150 assembled tested etc, the Hagerman"Bugle" is hard to beat (www.hagtech.com) you can read Michael Fremers partial review there. | |
| Best Budget Preamp, whats out there? Jdombrow's advice is sound. Check out the Transcendent Sound GG pre- you might be surprised! | |
| bryston match b 60 I dunno about the other speakers, but I have heard the B-60, Totem Model one's, NOT a good match, the Totems are very happy with lots of power! cheers, Doorman | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green Phasecorrect gets my vote. Jeff Beck continues to grow and experiment, not content to play it safe and comfortable. Check out the energy and chops on "You Had It Comming" | |
| What's under YOUR turntable? Worthwhile upgrade using Sound Organization wall mount TT platform. Heybrook TT2, Linn Ekos, Clearaudio cart. | |

| Linn Majik vs Kairn/LK85 Having used a Majik as a preamp for some time, the change to a Wakonda has been a significant upgrade. The Wakonda has a much lower noise floor, less grain, significantly more music! |
