| tubes and analog OK maybe Atma's comments come off a bit strong, but I recently put into service an older pair of Atma-sphere MA-1's I had stopped using when I lost of bunch of output tubes. I had gone over to an excellent sounding SS modified integrated, that hon... | |
| Law of "increasing returns" Oyaide AC outlet/plug Freemand do yourself a favor and get some Quicksilver Extreme gold to coat the ends of the wire before making the connection.While I have not done a A/B, the idea that 2 metals touching have surface irregularities that stop perfect contact seems t... | |
| acoustic system resonators Speaking of psychoacoustics, some friends came to my apartment and saw the resonators.I now have to sumbit to a long psychiatric evaluation.If the true cost of the resonator package were revealed, the evaluation would be skipped in favor of of an ... | |
| Teres still the way to go? I think the Serac will be a fantastic table for around $2200 with no arm and around $300 more with the Rega. I believe Thom is working out a deal to possibly bundle another higher quality arm as an option for a little more.As far as costs go, don'... | |
| What sounds best integrated or separates? If you go SS - then the PS Audio integrated GCC series sound incredible - once broken in. Eventually get it modded by Underwood (or just buy it new and modded from them) and it will be an amazing piece of gear - for solid state that is. | |
| Law of "increasing returns" Oyaide AC outlet/plug AFter posting this last night I listened to a Pablo Today LP, (Oscar Peterson trio, Night Train) that I recently bought.I swear the cymbols now sound so real (I used to play drums- and cymbols are a pet peave with digital for me) that I don't thin... | |
| acoustic system resonators Let me start out by saying that I think I decided I really didn't want these to work. I would be happy to send them back and get my inordinate amount of money back. Yesterday I did a power upgrade (Oyaide receptacle and plug) feeding my main Romex... | |
| Regardless of how much you've spent... Like everyone, I suppose, I go in cycles. I can go years where I have a stable system and really just enjoy playing music. Sometimes I get completely away from audio and just watch movies on my projector every night for 3 or 4 months. Some equipme... | |
| HiFI Fuses ? I put Critical Link Fuses in my GCC100 amp and the improvement was easy to hear - I listened to a cut - then 15 minutes later I listened again with the fuses now in place -a nice improvement, and certainly worth the money. I am dying to put better... | |
| How much does your system retail for? Forgetting about other hobby's where people spend obscene amounts of money, for example, cars (including aftermarket add ons) aviation, boating, aqauriums, remote cars and planes, etc....... What about people that over the years have spend similar... | |
| What Turntable and Why ......... Because of my mediocre financial situation, I was forced to go with the Raven One. I did go for a Phantom to put on it, so don't feel too bad for me.I think this may end up being a great combo for a somewhat reasonable cost.readers of high-endaudi... | |
| acoustic system resonators yesterday I got 6 resonators - 1 basic, 4 silver and 1 gold special.I installed as suggested by sending the designer pics of my room, and based on reading the 6 step outline.SInce I am just getting over a cold and my head is a bit stuffy, I'll hav... | |
| Whose got best class D at this point? My GCC-100 with the Underwood mods sounds fantastic, especialy since you can forgo using a preamp. The best SS I have heard, and reasonably priced - though they so take a long time to break in. (and I also have them on Powerplants Premier - which ... | |
| best preamp ever - cost is no object www.h-cat.com is the web site.TGB (norm) is making some bold claims here, and I'm about to find out what this line stage is capable of (hopefully in the next few days.)I think Norm's enthusiasm and insistance on H-cat being tops is that it is utte... | |
| PS Audio GCPH comments-opinions I have a fair amount of experience with the GCPH - I have owned it since they shipped the first batch and am a huge fan of PS Audio gear. I recently compared the GCPH to a Tron Seven for a few days in my system.I really had to switch back and fort... |
