| Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why? Aston 'Family Man' Barret from Bob Marley and the Wailers. His playing impressed me to the point of buying up 'Songs of Freedom' song book, where i learnt couple of dozen (most favorite) songs and never picked the bass (Fender Fretless P-Bass circ... | |
| Great Mains for $1000? Used to own Vandy's, and no question they were great 10 years ago! However there are bigger and better speakers on the market for the price. | |
| What's the best preamp for my system? I would also suggest Cary, but SLP-50 or 50A! | |
| Building the Best "Used" Budget System under $3000 Pass Aleph 3 $900 AES-a3 pre $350 Sony SC555 SACD $500 Triangle Zerius $700 Discovery 123 8' $120 Kimber PBJ 2x$50 Total: $2670 Money to spare (or for different source), and components easily re-sold! | |
| opinions on modern horn speakers Marakanez, i do not disagree with your take on Beahorn Virtuoso, i believe you were talking about. However, they sure sound way too good, despite those shortcomings! That was the only way i would listen the SET amps! | |
| Collective letter s to Stereophile So little time, and so many products. I agree with you Grooves, but I would also like to see more variety products reviewed in your mag. | |
| Audiophile Artwork? Posters? Anything? I am about to complete dozen or so paintings and prints that are dedicated to this hobby of ours. They will be available in 'poster' format, done on profesional press. I will list them for sale here on A-gon hopefuly by mid June?! Reasonable of co... | |
| OTL amplifiers I will have to agree with your Mar. I would also include resto of the Hi Fi products into the same category: OVERPRICED! | |
| OTL amplifiers Marakanetz, what is your problem? Did you EVER had chance to listen either SET or OTL designs? I noticed you were equaly 'angry' over SET amplifiers some time ago. | |
| Digital Amps? Marketing Hype? I am interested in digital amps also. However, checking the forum archives, i found that some of the 'uncompromising' supporters of digital amps (BC evo and Spectron) replaced (some are selling them right now) their amps for the tube amps...? | |
| what speakers for 40 watt triode? Rich, with 100db! You ought to try some SET amps! | |
| 811 vs 300B SET amps. Sound differences? Yes, that is the one i had in mind at first. But look at the price tag on Delux parts! Also Check these KR300BXLS based: http://members.home.nl/deckersmoll/ I might contact him? | |
| Good SET Tube Amp for $1500? I would suggest you to build one! Welborne labs is offering a new KIT in pair of monoblocks DRD 8wpc (300B)! And also there is a "Billie". | |
| Passive parts: Do they make a difference ? Sean, friend of mine 'gutted' the Dynaudio 3.3, (think $7K a pair). What he found was cheapest sandcast resistors, Bennic and Solen caps, and plain ole' air core inductors. He replaced most(mid high) of the caps with Hovland, and he claimes that s... | |
| Amp suggestion for Kharma Ceramique 2s?? Do you guys experiance the same problems with bass, with at least Kharma 1, as Michael Fremer did during his review?I am curious, if the bass problem persist (as in my speakers) what amp would be best to, if not eliminate the problem, but to minim... |
