| Recommend speakers for a strange move I'd look at the new Meadowlark speakers. They should have a high WAF. They also have matching center and surrounds.www.meadowlarkaudio.com or search Audiogon. | |
| Best pre-amp to match with the Dynaco ST-70? Try an Anthem Pre, Pre1L or 2L. They are very nice units for the money. Do a search on Audiogon.... | |
| Best acoustic -natural instruments CD's Try Ralph Towner/Gary Peacock's "A Closer View" on ECM. Wonderful recording of a guitar and bass duo. From a review "Peacock's ability to combine the soulfulness of Charles Mingus with the virtuosity of Scott LaFaro makes him probably the world's ... | |
| DIY monitor advice sought - have cabinets I looked at those same boxes. Asked Danny Richie about his A/V-1 kit and this was his reply: (more info at www.gr-research.com and at audioasylum.com)"That box is pretty small around the drivers for our A/V-1 kit, but the air space is right on.You... | |
| Win Laboratories Phono Preamp Value??? Bluebook on the Jewel preamp 1985 is $250 retail; about half that wholesale...Don't know if that corresponds to your prepre. From the description it sounds like it should be in the $100 - $150 ballpark. | |
| What cables should I get? I've used the Homegrown Silver Lace interconnects with good results using the same pre and similar AES amps. I'm using Coincident CST speaker cables which aren't bright at all. | |
| what's my problem? Try DH Labs digital and interconnect cables. Will be an inexpensive fix. Lots of choices on speaker cables... | |
| AES3 any thoughts The DJH signature version is a big step up, especially with NOS tubes. The stock version doesn't match the quality of your existing gear. Talk to someone at Cary about the 88 or 2002 preamp. | |
| Getting into audio for around 3500$...problems... I owned a stock Rogue 88. With my Tyler Ref monitors it was one of the best amp combinations. I think you need to use a preamp. I don't know about the CAL CD player--a newer or older model? A Rogue 66 preamp or Anthem Pre2L should mate nicely with... | |
| best speakers under $1000 for classic rock? Paradigm Reference 40 or 60 would be great. One of the best values for the $$ and a big step above the regular Paradigm speakers. The 40 is selling on Audiogon now. | |
| Cult Classics for Young Future Audiophile Hey, when I was that age I had a little crystal radio with an earphone. The radio was shaped as a rocket and the tuner moved in and out of the nose. That was a neat way to listen to all those, now "vintage" 50's sounds on am radio.Boy, then I grad... | |
| Equvalent Replacement for a/d/s M12 monitor speake True about the Aerial Acoustic, but may not be the easiest speakers to drive as they like power. Try the Soliloquy line, frequently seen on Audiogon. Nice finish work as well. solspeak.com. | |
| What changes would make 60v2's sign Try an integrated like the Musical Fidelity A3. About $850 at Upscale Audio. Best cd player for the money is Cambridge Audio 500 SE. For interconnects try harmonic tech; speaker cables try analysis plus. | |
| speaker recommendation Look at PSB Image 4T or their alpha series tower. The Image is listed at 10-100w and 91 db sensitivity. $429 at yawaonline.com. | |
| Best tube for BAT VK D5 CD Player I'm using 6h23n. Previously used the Amperex 7308 gold pin. Their almost as good and much less expensive. Try upscaleaudio.com. |
