| good preamp for dynaco mk3 monoblocks with maggies I would take Brownsfan's suggestion VERY seriously. Your existing gear and your listening habits make you a very good candidate for a passive preamp. | |
| Audiophile Staff I may be getting my Asian audiophiles confused, but I think the audiophile you refer to was Vietnamese. Yes, over the top, but the cool thing was that he allowed anyone in his town to come over for listening parties. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Richardkrebs, yes, safety relief valve, I have always incorrectly referred to it as a check valve. Interesting proposition. My DIY PVC tank can handle the full output of my Medo compressor which although rated at 22psi can actually output close to... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Richard, interesting comments. Eventhough I settled on 18.5 -19 psi (at the arm) based on what my ears tell me sounds best in my system and not simply what my HP manifold was designed for, that pressure is (coincidentally?) about .5 psi above the ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Slaw, I remember Gordon's article well; that's how long I have had my ET. I was always intrigued by the Motronix and a couple of years after the article appeared I searched for one without luck. What I remember the article did not make clear, othe... | |
| Advice on selecting a tube amp Late to the party, sorry. Enjoy your new amp! | |
| Advice on selecting a tube amp Oh, c'mon! You only live once and it sounds like you have lived well :-) Your search ends here; pricy, but beautiful, and for sound, little out there that's better. (No affiliation)http://app.audiogon.com/listings/tube-jadis-da60-2007-model-8-new-... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Speaking for myself and the pressure gauge that I use, I doubt very much that it is accurate to within .5 lbs. So, it is entirely possible (and probable) that my arm is seeing anywhere between 18.5 and 20 lbs. I say that based on the less-than-sot... | |
| Are Rodgers ls3/5a as good as advertise? & Why ****The Rogers had no real bass and the dynamics were not that great but what they had in spades was that certain je ne sais quoi.**** Exactly! Sometimes it's a bit of a mystery why some components have that certain something that lets one simply ... | |
| tube amps and electrostatics ****Whoops, mean't to say macrodynamics there actually. Sorry. ES speakers I have heard tend to have microdynamics in spades.****Phew!!! Had me worried there for about a second or two. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Just wanted to add a couple of thoughts re the HP manifold. In a couple of the previous posts there appeared to be the suggestion that the HP manifold was not necessarily a worthwhile upgrade over the original LP manifold. Dave has corroborated wh... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I want to thank you for a most wonderful thread. I hope my contributions have been enjoyable; I know yours and those of the other contributors have been for me. The marriage of great music with good sound is a wondrous thing and your thread ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok, there comes a time when one has to simply stop pulling punches in the interest of civility and good will and just say what one is feeling. This sparring and chest thumping is really getting old; I, for one, am done with it. Why you feel the n... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Ah, The Lobotomy Award lives! Well, knowing how you feel about Nina Simone, that would appear to be the obvious answer; but, I don't think so. Simone's version is great, interesting and definitely sets a mood, but not the kind of mood that I think... | |
| Jazz for aficionados ******** If nothing else, your posts help folks keep an open mind****Thanks, Newbee. That's really my motivation, its not about ego or being right. There is so much more that can be learned about this great art form and music in general; the littl... |
