Want something more forgiving than Vandy 3a sigs
Verity Parsifal,used around 7K. Rockport Mira, new around13k but have never seen them used. There is somethingutterly right sounding with the upper frequncies of theParsifal. I have heard some of the more expensive Rockportsand they also had that ... 
Lamm or OTL for Kharma CE-2.1's?
I experienced losing a Kharma mid-driver with the Tenor 75driving them. I think the Joule choice would be an interestig one as it would probably be the warmestsounding but that would be to suit my taste, not neccessarily yours. I have no experienc... 
Upgrading my Basis 2500. Vacuum or no Vacuum?
Thanks all. Right now I am leaning toward Debut over thethe 2800. I was told it would be better having the Debut'ssuspension over my 2500 or 2800 on my suspended floor. Ialready installed floor jacks in the basement to avoid myorigonal foot fall p... 
REVIEW: Mccormack UDP-1 Deluxe
It is early on in the evaluation stage, but I have justtaken delivery on an EAR Acute CDP. I am temporarily running it direct to my amps while awaiting the Fullfunction preamp it will run through soon. I have never been a fan of CDP running direct... 
VTL MB450 Monoblock Amps -Opinions
I do know they are now available in a new series 2with autobiasing which the series 1 did not have. I assume this to be good thing since they have so manytubes. That being said, having to bias Tenors, C- J,or my current Quicksilvers never to me wa... 
Tube amps for Eggleston Andra II
I had the Andra 2 ( mk.1 upgraded) and it is a real nice speaker, especially for rock and larger stuff. I did find that they needed some power though. The Tenor 75 was underpowered, but I kind of knew it would be going in.I paired them with Vac 22... 
Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which?
The EAR/Yoshino 912 is worth your consideration, especially if you want/need a flexible built in phono stage. 
where are Zanden dealers in the US
Try pureaudio.net --Fred Nadel, great guy. 
Naim: Integrated & CDP vs. Creek : Int & CDP
The other speakers I have considered are Proac, Merlin Tsm,and Spendor. I am worried that the aluminum tweeter in the Harbeth may prove a bit forward in the long run. My thought is the warmer Creek may balance this out with the the Harbeth. FWIW I... 
Naim: Integrated & CDP vs. Creek : Int & CDP
I am leaning heavily toward the Creek at this point, more so the Integrated than the CDP. I may even jump to the Destiny. I would now like to consider the speaker to mate with the Creek. I am looking for a natural sound with warmth and texture. Th... 
Naim: Integrated & CDP vs. Creek : Int & CDP
Thanks to all thus far. Mmm- maybe a plunge in to the Creek, which is not terrible as it is not cool or dry. First, lets make things a little more interesting by addinganother contender. The Primare, which offers the I21 at the 5350SE price point.... 
New Doors box set
I have been focusing on analog over the past years and I am a little out of touch w/ high resolution digital formats. With this box I know there are the 6 Doors CDs w/ bonus tracks. I understand by the original post that there are also DVD-a discs... 
APL NWO2.5 ?
It didnt make sense to start a new APL thread because I thought I could most likely get my feedback right here. I am interested in one of the modified players which I may run along side my AA Capitole SE for now. I contacted Dan Wright and he prom... 
Quicksilver V4 w/ Vandersteen 5 A
I guess I should chime back in since this thread is still alive. I purchased a pair of fully balanced V4 s and am happy with them, although I do feel the 5a benefits quite bit from a little more power than the Quickies. I auditioned a Gamut D200 t... 
Live classic 70s Southern ROck......
I recently played Marshall Tucker- Where we all belong. It sounded real good on vinyl too, and great music to boot.
