| In Awe of "Yessongs" Forty Years Later I enjoy Fragile, but my "Yes Album" LP is my favorite. I have not heard YESSONGS since my Cassette deck days. I will have to give it a listen. Thanks for the reminder! | |
| Attention Verity owners I would try some Auditorium 23. A bit of a dark horse, but Crimson cable is very well thought of. I have only tried their interconnects, and they were impressive for the money. I have a dealer who had success w/ Stereovox as well. I think the A23 ... | |
| Best integrated amp for Harbeth SHL5s Congrats on your new LUX 505ux Bob. They make very nice gear. I met Philip O'Hanlon in Montreal recently, and he's a great guy. I would imagine you are also in good hands with a class distributor. Of course your unit is built like a tank, but extr... | |
| Tube Amp Recommendations $1500 Indeed it is the 216 I was thinking of. I believe it's around 40WPC. I am not familiar with the power output of the Prima Luna, so the OP will have to decide on how much power he needs for his speaker. I have no experience w/ the Paradigm. Cheers ... | |
| Tube Amp Recommendations $1500 LM Audio 211 or 219. The former uses EL34, the latter KT88! | |
| CSNY Live 1974 Maxnewid- +1, and very well said. Was listening to Houses of the Holy late in to last night. I seemed to appreciate side 1 alot more than 2 for some reason. Perhaps my mood or just the fact I'm not getting younger. I saw CSN about 4-5 years ago, a... | |
| London Decca Very nice Doak. I have an Amadeus GTA, and a Std Amadeus in my secondary rig. I am always looking for suggestions to try. It seems like 95% use either Emt Tsd-15 or Dynavector 20X, Karat, or XX2. I guess heavier cartridges work pretty well w/ the ... | |
| Verity speakers for $7k or less? " I don't want to go shy on detail either because from what I've heard the Verity does a good job with detail revealing it in a musical, non-fatiguing way." Indeed they do. I preferred them with tubes, but in no way did they sound bad with solid s... | |
| audiophile help needed in CT Are you anywhere near Goodwins in Waltham MA. They have an excellent TT guy there, last time I knew.... | |
| Wet Cleaning the Stylus Dhcod- I also use an EMT, great cartridges BTW. I discontinued use of the Onzow, based on recommendation! So now 90% of the time I use a dry brush.The other 10% of the time is either ME or wet brush. The latter with just one drop of Disc Doctor. W... | |
| Turntable on suspended floor - shelf or braces? You could try either. My previous table (also suspended btw) had a severe FF issue. I used floor jacks, and it solved the issue 100%. In the adjacent room, I set up a second system, and used a wall shelf on an interior wall. It worked good, but th... | |
| Speakers for SET 8 Watt 300B system? The Audio Note suggestion is a good one, I just heard the J'sdriven by the Oto integrated. There is also the DeVore Orangutan series. I don't know the footprint of the 12.1, so I can't comment on the smaller footprint. | |
| Wet Cleaning the Stylus "However, some other ME users recommend using the ME as a stationary pad set down under the stylus; they then lower the stylus gently on to the pad using the cue-ing device, up and down a few times. This sounds much safer for inattentive persons l... | |
| Quiet"er" record cleaner? I mean when it comes right down to it, just dry off with a soft, lint free diaper type cloth. Spin Clean sells then separately. I have used these after a wet clean on my 16.5. Records get dry, and the dead still sleeps. | |
| gloves to touch vinyl surface Czarivey- Thank you very much, and long live vinyl. |
