Walker Reliability
Ah but what about the floor mats, hanging fuzzy dice and washer fluid?Then again, any one with "sissy boy" amps should know these things!Hey buddy! Haven't seen ya here before! How goes it? 
What would a 2a3 based amp. bring to the table?
Gotta agree with Gs5556! I can only tell you what MY experiences are and based on my tastes and system -- BUT --- in my second system (where I listen to mostly jazz, acoustic, vocals and light rock - leaving the big scale stuff at loud volumes for... 
Are your used items selling?
I honestly believe that if you price the stuff fairly (for most items, usually between 40-55% of retail), it will sell fast! Some, may need to be priced lower, some (like Maggies or the current gear du jour) higher. But, as always, YMMV 
CD Player: Audio Aero Capitole Mk I vs. Mk II
Thought I'd take this opportunity to publicly thank Mr. Tinn for his assistance, patience and insight in helping me cope with this MADDENING Audio Aero Capitole MK-II. Jonathan, you are a true gentleman and class act as I think I would have thrown... 
Regarding a review in the Aug '02 Stereophile...
Sugarbrie, as a reviewer, I completely agree with you. EVERYTHING is system dependent, room dependent and dependent on the reviewer's biases, experiences, personal tastes and preferences. It is VERY difficult (if not impossible) to ever ascribe an... 
Best power cord for BAT 75SE
42659, is your comment aimed at the Elrod cords? I assume it is and was wondering whether you know where Mr. Elrod came from or his background? I would like to know what proven designs you are referring to. Trust me, I am NOT trying to start an ar... 
Best power cord for BAT 75SE
I will second Ejlif's recommendation of Elrod's PCs. I have tried about 17 different brands of PCs (and still own about 9 different brands). I have the Elrod EPS-3s on my Lamm M1.1 amps and the EPS-2 on my Audio Aero Capitole, neither of which are... 
Review: Wright Sound WPA-3.5 Tube amp
Thanks Gs5556 much appreciated. What is the max you'd pay for the Cunniingham single plates or the double black plates?Any experiernce with the meshplates? 
Michigan - Any Interest?
Hey guys. I live in West Bloomfield in the NW Detroit suburbs and am always interested in getting together with fellow audio crazies. I have an Audio Aero Capitole MK-II CD player, Lamm M1.1 amps, a Lamm L2Ref preamp, an Aesthetix IO Signature (w/... 
Review: Wright Sound WPA-3.5 Tube amp
Jobman, what differences did you hear between the RCAs and the Sovteks? Did you ever try the AVVT or JJ Meshplates?Also, what 6SN7s did you like and why. I have a buddy who is going to send me either some Mullard 6SN7s or staggered plate Ken Rad V... 
Anyone have their Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet?
Now that I believe that my AA is fully burned in (it has been running 24/7 for 19 days, I can say that for MY tastes, in MY system, and compared to any other CD players I have heard in my system (Sonic Frontiers T3/P3, Cary 306/200. Sony SCD-1 and... 
Capitole MKII ...Drawer ...hummm
The "tracks" you mention are really only two thin white pieces of either plastic or fiberglass looking tubes (they look like long thin pipe cleaners) that are on the sides of the drawer. My drawer was not working at all when I got it because those... 
AA Capitole Mk II - what the evaluaions brought?
I completely agree with Jtinn. I formerly had a Sonic Frontiers T3/P3 combination with NOS tubes (a former $14,000 combo)that I replaced with the new AA Capitole. Out of the box, the AA did not have the resoltution, bass impact or definition or th... 
Blood ,Sweat, & Tears
Although the very expensive (average price about $100-$125) and rare (these days) Mobile Fidelty LP is good, the much cheaper Half Speed Mastered Columbia may even be better (and I have seen these for as little as $15 [I got a MINT one for $7 at a... 
Anyone have their Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet?
Well, all I can say is that I did NOT make any mistake in selling my Sonic Frontiers T3/P3 combo. Don't get me wrong, the T3/P3 combo was a stellar performer in many ways and had LOOKS and a remote that put the AA to shame. Ah, but it is the sonic...
