| Audio Research Reference CD-7 I heard the Marantz SA-7S1 for the first time a few days ago. It was very detailed, but did not seem to strip anything away in the process. Yes, it was musical, very impressive w/ vocals. I am using the EAR Acute, which also has IMO a tonality tha... | |
| sub woofer amp hot on Vandersteen 5a's I played my 5A for a long session the other night. I felt the sub amp, and must say they were not warm at all. | |
| Kharma 3.2.2: which tube amp to use? You may consider a Vac 30/70, which is essentially two 30/30'srun in mono. Or of course just the more common Ren 70/70. This would be plenty of power, a bit of added warmth, but still very good detail. Not too hard on the eyes IMO either. The Lamm... | |
| Any Allman fans check out new MFSL Idlewild south Just rechecked the info on Idlewild south being number 3 best selling, and it was actually not MD, but Acoustic Sounds. Thanks for your feedback Merlinus, LATF is a tough act to follow, but Idlewild is still a great studio album to expand on my AB... | |
| Stealth Audio Dream Petite Ceilalex, I was curious if you went ahead and kept the Stealth. I have an Indra which I use for CDP> Preamp, and definitely have considered trying more when the right time presents itself. At this point , maybe a Metacarbon for my longer IC, an... | |
| Magico Mini 2 Best preamp /amp/ phono /cable JKalman's point as to the low sensitivity of the Mini is another reason to consider the V3. The V3 is an easier load to drive, but you may not have the space. If it happens to be a tube amp that puts a smile on your face and curls your toes, so be... | |
| Magico Mini 2 Best preamp /amp/ phono /cable I believe at least two dealers use the Vac Phi 300.1, whichhas also been highly praised by some guy named Wolff. Seriously, this amp is worth your consideration. I am very happy with the performance of my 300.1, which is driving my Vandersteen 5A'... | |
| Marshall Tucker band on vinyl? Thanks for the confirmation on the live Can't you see onSearchin for a Rainbow Slipknot 1. I will begina Searchin. | |
| EAR 912 impression Messenger is certainly worth your consideration at thisprice point. 12K LS, 16K Full funtion. This will not haveany XLR, so it would be SE only. If you need balancedoutputs, Nick Doshi may be worth considering. I have experience with the Messenger... | |
| Marshall Tucker band on vinyl? Not to bring this one back from the dead. I listened to thelive Where we all belong last night. Agree with Slipknot1, that is an excetional recording and representation of MTB.Great flute from Eubanks on Take the Highway too. This all IMO, of cour... | |
| Looking to replace Clearaudio Stylus force gauge Thanks for the suggestions. I did mean 1/100th of a gram though, so I can get 1.9, 1.95,1.96,2.0 ... Sorry for that error. It is likely hard to go wrong with the one Mehran is selling. I would think it to be comparable quality to the one parts con... | |
| How good is the phono stage of the VAC sig.II pre- Dan ed makes a good point about saving the tubes, whenlistening to your digital source. Gee, never thought ofthat one when I bought my FF Preamp. I would think if thephono section is that good though, your digital source willnot be your primary on... | |

| Pre for VAC Auricle Musicbloc 70/70 It sounds like you are are on the right track with the pre's you are thinking about. I am confused though, as toif you bought the Ren 70/70 (65wpc) or the newer Musicbloc160's. I just bought the Phi 300.1, and all I can say is," It's good to be ho... |
