I won't have time for the next few weeks, but if come April or so you still have not been able to do so, contact me and I would be glad to try and find some time to demonstrate my vinyl r... | |
| What is Jazz? I don't share the cynicism and negativity expressed in some of the posts above. The "demise" of jazz as some of us would like to remember it was inevitable. To accept this inevitability is to truly understand the art form. No one destroyed jazz. J... | |
| What is Jazz? Actually, the quote is (upon being asked what jazz is):"Man, if you have to ask, you'll never know"A couple other favorite Armstrong quotes:**** To jazz, or not to jazz, there is no question ******** If I dont practice for a day, I know it. If I ... | |
| What is Jazz? Charles1dad, of course you are correct. But, I would bet you my Manley mono's (and I'll throw in my Columbia Six-Eye "Kind Of Blue") that if you were to poll 100 jazz musicians and ask them who they would pick (if they had to) as THE greatest jazz... | |
| where to get AudioNote wires Nandric is correct. I found this out when I was sourcing my AN wire a while back. My concerns were put to rest when I received and installed the AN UK wire. The Kondo wire may be superior (at about 3-4 times the cost), but the UK wire is the best ... | |
| where to get AudioNote wires Lew, what I do is to solder the tinned end of the wire or twisted pairs of wires to the end of a length of thin solid core picture hanging wire which will comfortably slide through the entire length of the teflon tubing, and I pull it through. No ... | |
| where to get AudioNote wires I purchased m Teflon tubing from Michael Percy(.com). He has Teflon tubing as thin as 22 gauge. I think I used 20 gauge. AN wire is very thin so even the 22 gauge will work, the problem is that the thinner the tubing, the more difficult it is to r... | |
| where to get AudioNote wires Lewm, have you considered running it first through small diameter Teflon tubing, as used to insulate capacitor leads, then through the copper braid? That is what I did with my continuous run tonearm wiring (except for the short section where it ne... | |

| Perreaux Preamps MUCH better choice. Nice preamp. | |
| Perreaux Preamps Somut, I was just reading your system page and you mention that you once owned the Superphon pre. For what ever it's worth, and as follow-up to my previous comments, I also owned the Superphon around the same time period, and considered the Superp... | |
| Perreaux Preamps Back in the late '80s, maybe early '90s, I took a Perreaux SA3 home for a few days as a loaner from Stereo Exchange while my Audible Illusions Modulus 2(?) was being repaired. Keep in mind that the Modulus was a tube preamp and definitely on the r... | |
| Looking for brighter tubes Agree re the Telefunkens; my favorite tubes of the 12at7 and 12ax7 variety. I would like to add a comment about the perception of spectral balance that you might find useful. Notice also the comment about the great midrange of the Tele's. I comple... | |
| Rel Strata III or Storm III owners... Eandylee, the REL makes a very good product. I occasionally use a Strata III with my Stax F81 electrostats with good results. To answer your question, I use that combination because I also have a pair (actually, two) of full-range speakers, but ma... |
