Jun 26, 2003	Amp for Green Mountain Europa What kind of music do you listen to? I've used both tubes and solid state (and a hybrid integrated) with my Europa's, and each combo had its own strengths and weaknesses.With tubes, the Europa's really conveyed a beautiful, smooth, sweet sound. Mi...
Jun 18, 2003	Unico Vs. Jolida JD1501RC What kind of speakers are you using? I've never heard the Unico, but have owned the Jolida 1501RC in the past. I think the Jolida is a fantastic amp. You might want to try auditioning one to see if it has better synergy with the rest of your syste...
May 27, 2003	classical suggestions Great suggestions so far... Newbee, I agree with every one of your recommendations. Great works! I'd add Beethoven's 7th and 9th, Shostakovich's Symphony No. 5,and Mahler's Symphony No. 2 (the "Resurrection"). Those last two especially will blow y...
May 18, 2003	Anything beat dh labs t-14 for the money...... Phasecorrect...If I recall, you are using GMA Europa's? I exchanged e-mails with Roy Johnson, and he had two very specific recommendations as far as synergy with the Europa's. On the less expensive end, he suggested Analysis Plus. I took his advic...
May 09, 2003	Monitors $1,000 to $2,000? Kahana,I don't think the website is up yet, but Roy Johnson, the man behind Green Mountain Audio, is a great guy to talk to, and would probably be very helpful if you have any questions about his speakers. He often posts on Audiogon, and his user ...
May 01, 2003	Best Integrated Amp for Linn Tukans Audio Analogue Puccini. Comes in a remote and SE version also (the SE uses dual transformers and has a higher output).I used to have a small system that included a Puccini and Ryan Acoustics speakers. I was told by the dealer from whom I bought th...
May 01, 2003	DVD Picture Problem -- Please Help Thanks for all the input. Rwwear, you hit it... When I was reconfiguring and unplugged my tv, the setting must have changed or reset. There was a setting that fixed the picture. Thanks again!
Apr 23, 2003	Nearfield vs. Ambient sound Phasecorrect... I completely agree with your impressions of the GMA Europa! I have them set up in a fairly large room where the listening position is about 9.5 feet, and the speakers sound fantastic. Everything from the imaging to the reproduction...
Apr 19, 2003	Monitors $1,000 to $2,000? Kahana,I'm using Green Mountain Europa's with a Jolida 502A, and the sound is fantastic. In my opinion, the Europa is a real sleeper of a monitor, and the technology and parts are way better than the competition at its price point.The Europa's use...
Feb 27, 2003	Biwire Martin Logan Aerius? What cables to use? What's your budget? I am using Virtual Dynamics Audition speaker cables with my ML Aerius's, and the sound is fantastic. I've actually demo'd them against Analysis Plus and DH Labs Q-10's. No contest, the Audition's are in a different league.The A...

There are a few in this price range that are all stellar, and it'll just depend on your tastes (and speakers) as to which is best. The Audio Refinement is fantastic, but is slightly limited in its power outpu...
Jan 22, 2003	What preamp to mate with Belles 150A Hot Rod Amp? I had a Belles 150A Hot Rod for awhile, and found that it was a great match with tubed pre-amps. I tried the Rogue 66, the CJ PV10, and the Quicksilver Line Stage Remote (the 6DJ8 version). All of them mated well with the amp, with different stren...
Jan 17, 2003	Mozart,Haydn,Beethoven String Quartets...... I think Dvorak's chamber music is also fantastic. Give a listen to the old RCA (I think) recording of the "American" String Quartet and the Piano Quintet with the Guarneri String Quartet and Arthur Rubinstein. I believe the album also includes the...
Jan 15, 2003	Mozart,Haydn,Beethoven String Quartets...... I'm a little surprised that these recordings have not been recommended yet, but for the Beethoven String Quartets, I think the Guarneri Quartet's recordings are in a class by themselves.There's also an interesting recording of the Mozart Quartets ...
