| Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio) Everybody should check Albert Porter's web site. His work is more than just a "hobbie". | |
| Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio) I paint. I picked-up brush about three years ago, sold few paintings, but as anything else, it is cut-throat bussines. Check my web-site: http://home.worldnet.att.net/~dragan_v/index.html Also check short stories on "Lunch with sick salad". | |
| HiFi is an opinion - nothing more Larry, we might enjoy the "chase"? | |
| SFCD-1, Theta Miles or Linn Karik? I was debating, once, between SFCD, and Karik. At that time i had all Linn gear, and i guess karik was logical choice (so as the price). It is hard to say, which would be better in your case. Still SF is still holding its price, so 300bdude might ... | |
| I would like to hear from ex-Linnophiles I sold my Majik, after three and a half years, for tube amp, i am purchasing. I still have Linn Karik CDP, and if i would ever go back to solid state, i would definitely buy Linn again. Sure bet! Doug got it right. | |
| Best reviewers Does anybody like e.e.Cummings? | |
| dynaudio a50/a52 vs. aci sapphire III I own Sapphire's, and i love them. I think ACI would be best with hi Q tube amp. Did you think about full range speakers? I would suggest you to check into Vandersteen 2c's, considering your musical taste and the amp. And also the fact that you wa... | |
| Best 12at7a, 12au7a? I hear RCA cl 12AU7A, to be best USA "valve", and word Telefunken diamond bottom, goes around as THE best 12AT7, for around $450 a piece! | |
| Wrong direction? You are right Joe! And most of the reviewers(including Scull) are fifth-rate writers, whose talent fell several notches short of their bloated image of themself. | |
| Older CD players vs current ones? I have Karik II (stand alone CDP), and preffered it over Genki. Also, Karik is exeptional transport, so if i want to ad on Numerik,(or any hi-end DAC) i would probably end up with as good as digital source as any. Even by CURRENT standards! | |
| Speaker Kit (speciffically Dynaudio) I had my ACI "Sapphire's" assembled at home. It is easy, and saves a lot of $$. Dynaudio kit's are nice too, however kit's like that don't hold much resale value. Also, i am wary of the enclosures sold through Madisound and other kit companies. I ... | |
| Best Auction Site for Jazz LPs Ebay, by far has the most "traffic"! However, you may get better sale on the A-gon (not auction). I sold some of my "audiophile" records on Audiogon, while on e-bay i couldn't get a one bid, for the same. | |
| Best Class A Int. Amp? Rick, just curious what is class "A" speaker? | |
| integrated amp advice needed Another French company that makes tube integrated is Kora. I invested some time in searching for basicaly same as you. If you visit their website (also you can check on some used and new kora amps on audiogon)you'll see reviews that are very impre... | |
| Integrated for around 1K to match with.. Crawfish? Too much work. I like anything "blackened' though and Gumbo is good too. Hurricanes are OK, but havent tried Banana Foster! I am going to check some micro-breweries...will report on that! Thanks Joe! |
