| Phono Pre? Jolida JD-9A is in my opinion one ofthe best deals in a low cost / high quality and very versatile tube preamp. Enough flexibility too accommodate nearly any cartridge. Full, detailed and dynamic sound. Try this one... for $450, you can't go wrong... | |
| Snell Type A/II or Type E/III - opinions wanted Tonyjack is right on the money with tubes being a heavenly match with the snell e III's! I was originally powering my e III's with an Aragon 4004 mk II power amp and 18K preamp. Great combination that everyone knows about and is a 200 watt powerho... | |
| Upgrading phono stage for Denon DL103? Try the inexpensive $450 Jolida JD-9A MM/MC phono preamp. It's a high gain tube unit with very flexible cartridge loading adjustments. Should provide more than enough gain for the low output Denon DL-103. It has up to 95 dB of gain via its high ou... | |
| Matching amps for martinlogan prodigy Try any version of the Aragon 8008 amp. The Aragons drive the very demanding Martin Logans nicely. I use the Aragon 4004 mk.II to drive my Martin Logan Sequel II's, which present an extremely punishing load to moderate amps, but the Aragon doesn't... | |
| Best Electrostatic loudspeaker? Martin Logan has done more to develope the electrostatic technology than any other manufacturer. Martin Logans are capable of reproducing all the elements of live music that make it come to life: detail, image size, dynamics, and coherence. Excell... | |
| Best Recording Label Mapleshade, Three Blind Mice Recordings, ECM, Audioquest, Analogue Productions, Telarc. | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Keith Jarrett's "Koln Concert", Jimmy Scott's "All The Way", and anything by Nina Simone! | |
| HELP Audiophiles!!!! Try the Aragon 8008 power amp along with a 24k Pre-amp. | |
| Speakers for Classe CAP-150 I'm not a Classe' owner, but I've heard these amps used with Vandersteen speakers, and they sounded great. The Vandersteen 2ce falls in the <$1,500.00 category. You won't find a speaker that gives you more for your money than this one. As a bon... | |
| Best Vandersteen 2c, 2ci, 2ce. The original 2c retailed for $1,195.00 per pair and was one of the most musical loudspeakers of any other speaker anywhere near its price! | |
| Best female vocals on CD Diana Krall without a doubt! Especially the "Love Scenes" recording. This recording is spooky real, late night with the lights down low, heard through a pair of Martin Logan Electrostatics. It doesn't get much better than this! | |
| Testing Bass Extension on Speakers I frequently use the very same stereiphile test disk to test speaker frequency response whenever I re-locate my speakers and/or subwoofer in my listening room. It's usually not a question of whether or not your speakers will reproduce the frequenc... | |
| Sunfire with Martin Logans I have a pair of Martin Logan Sequel II's, which I've replaced the original esl panels with the newer SL3 esl panels. I drive them with an Aragon 4004 mk.II, which handles the Sequel's very demanding without any hint of strain. This is an excellen... |
