| Audio Note Spkrs I really like A.N. a lot. I know several designers of A.N. gear. One of my best audiophile friends has a complete ultra high-end set up in a dedicated room with about 5-6K LP's and no windows. His A.N. system makes wonderful music. We tried his en... | |
| Top ten tube preamps Alnolan, I'm very happy with my Wavestream and think its one of the best. I feel lucky to buy one as Wavestream can only build a small number per year. Still, it's always fun to hear some other pre-amp (Modwright) that has so many enthusiastic fan... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE The last ones you buy as you get off this audiophile path - good luck. BTW, I'm 66 and MAY be done with speakers now - Watt/Puppy 8's serving well. | |
| Top ten tube preamps Does anybody with a Modwright 9.0se live near San Jose, CA and want to share a listening session so I could hear it in person? | |
| Tube amps with BALLS in the low end registrer ??? Since you have Jadis and CJ, why wouldn't you get their high powered tube amps? I now used Lamm 2.1's on W/P 8's - enough power for me. I can suggest VAC Phi 300.1 because of a a week home demo on my system. I thought they were fantastic and may b... | |
| What equipment do you most regret parting with?? i love to have that Goldmund Studio with 3F arm that I sold years ago for my 2nd TT today. I will spend more money to buy another or buy something as good.I also sold a Mares Connoisseur 2.0 sometime ago - a mistake in hindsite. | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Changing amps is kinda like having roving eye for us. I can afford to change amps every now and then, but not a wife | |
| cat jl3 signatures vs. atmashere ma2III's Samuel33, You must have miss read Marc's comment, "...in a group of the finest audio components." He didn't say the CAT or Wilson's were THE finest but in a "group of the finest." I think that's a broad statement and fair enough. | |
| WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor Our W/P 8's speakers and mono amps our in our living room. My WAF was great until I bought the Lamm 2.1's which she tolerates but thinks they are ugly (I agree). She campaigning for some better looking amps. I'll go for that once I found something... | |
| Stand out phono stages If you want to get way beyond an EAR and JTLI, I agree with Piedpiper on Lyra Connoisseur, Wavestream Kinetics, but would add Aesthetix Io Signature as top for me in no particular order. I've owned all three and could have lived with any one of th... | |

| CAT SL1 + JL2 or JL3 compared to Lamm L2 + ML2.1 I enjoy my Aesthetix Callisto, Lamm 2.1s and Wilson 8's and this system produces beautiful full range music. I don't know where you listen to the Lamm Wilson set up but there were several at the CES show last year producing great music. Maybe ther... | |
