| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! I have found this thread to be very positive on the whole and was warmly reflecting on Albert's last remarks about having friends over for a music sessions. That's what it is about for me. That combination of comradie, drink-food and music is a jo... | |
| Watt/Puppy 6.0 vs Amati Homage vs Andra I totally agree with Onhwy61. Think of not having a local dealer for two of these products as an inconvenience and just a problem to solve. Step back for a moment and just figure out what it's going to take to make an in home demo happen for you. ... | |
| Amp Stands I'll second Albert's suggestion with my own positive experience with Sound Anchor's amp stands. They have built two sets for me. It was easy all done by e-mail. The stands were perfect and completed on time. It think I found their e-mail adress on... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Like Albert, I am on the same journey and have not built the BEST system. In my life balance pursuits this system does give me special moments with recorded performances. No recorded performance compares to real life experience, period. Still, I a... | |
| Cleaning LP's This makes a good cleaning solution for use with a cleaning machine. 10 oz distilled water to 2 oz rubbing alchol + drop or two of photo flow and mix thoroughly. If you don't have a cleaning machine then use above solution and then rinse with dist... | |
| Advise:Goertz MI2 vs Analysis Oval 9 Interesting information and a nice lead. What's the Zobel network? | |
| Most overpriced audio component made Cables, Cables, Cables! This category has most alarming and glaring examples of overpriced products. When comparing what cables deliver in sound value to what speaker and electronics have been providing consumers, today's most expensive cables are... | |
| Best Vanishing speakers I liked that. | |
| Best Integrated Amp $1-2k range Good point Geomann. John is a great dealer, and he offers the Electropanient also. I have listen to both units as an AV integrated, and picked the Electropanient primarily because of size, less $, and it has balance input and out capability. It ha... | |
| Avante Garde horn speakers..... I had the Duo's at my house for 3-4 months running all Audio Note gear and I thought they were pretty damn good. Woofer were sub par. Would have purchased them except really couldn't live with their aesthetics in my living room. Candy Apple Red ho... | |
| "Balanced Output" Phono Pre-amp?? Just noticed an Aesthetix listed on audioweb.com. for $3500. Rare opportunity and my still be available. For those looking for a balanaced phono stage, check it out. | |
| Bang & Olufsen Speakers I can imagine why you are asking this. Expecting design aesthetics and a great musicallity should be natural. But as in nature great great sex usually doesn't come from the best bodies. It is more the exception than the rule and generally is very ... | |
| Best Integrated Amp $1-2k range I have got to second or third the Electropaniet. Not a lot of power, but with the right speakers the EC-3 is great music. | |
| Sub-woofer to go with WATT3/Puppy2 You want better bass. Then go directly ARC 600s or Atmos-phere MA II mk IIs. Don't add a subwoffer. Even the best always muddy the watters. Put that $4K into tube better amps that will improve you overall sound. You're chasing the wrong horse. May... | |
| WATT3/Puppy2 - too bright. You have great speakers and don't get into a speaker merry-go-round scenarios. Your time and mony can be best spent in sorting out the up steam electronics. The SS gear you have doesn't help, though I aggree that the pre-amp would be the 1st thing... |
