| How Cool Is My Wife! Michael--Thanks. Gary--There is hope right now! Testsp--Looks like you're ahead of Rfenol when it come to taking over the house. What a guy! No, what a wife! Enjoyable thread, guys. | |
| Honest Reviewers ? It's easy to become cynical about the review/reviewer of the latest and greatest Belchfire 900 (amp, preamp, CD player, speaker, cartridge, wire, etc.) that stages well, focuses tightly, images palpably and holographically, renders instruments tim... | |
| Speakers: all-time worst Steve--Yes and yes. | |
| Last CD purchase; M.L. 39 or Wadia 850? Denf--Have you heard the Accuphase DP75 running directly to amp? Suggest you listen to this player before any final decision. The 75 can be had in resale market for $4000+. Quite a machine. | |
| How Cool Is My Wife! My s.o. has got to be one of the best. We greatly enjoy our system, but a year-and-a-half ago increasing equipment space constraints dictated our transport-dac duo had to go, in favor of one box. After lengthy auditions of CD players, we decided o... | |
| Best solid-state amp made anywhere The Accuphase A50 (now the A50V) should be added to any short list of Class A ss power amps. Superior in every respect; build quality, musicality and spatial presentation. Exceptional. | |
| Please recommend Tube pre-amp(s) Carl. How foolish of me to attempt any discussion of hearing anomalies, as you have the answers. It's unfortunate that few adults hear sounds to 20K as you do, and I'm sure all of us wish we, too, had "golden ears." Certainly many factors, includi... | |
| Whats the best Tube Preamp As Trindle notes, c-j 16ls is tough to beat in any system and at that price point. | |
| Speakers: all-time worst Hey guys-- Not only did Bose speakers suck, they didn't suck very well. Add the Bose Super Radio--or whatever name the thing is currently marketed under--for nearly $400 (you've all seen the ads). It's hyped as sound Nirvana. I've heard one an acq... | |
| Whats the best and quietest 12AX7 tube David, Albert, Carl, et al: try Ned (extremely knowledgeable!) at Triode Electronics, Chicago. Extensive web listing of tubes, including hard-to-finds) and great prices. He's the best of a bunch, IMHO. | |
| Best Vanishing speakers Avalon Arcus, Eidolon, Opus. They not only disappear, they wrap the sound around you with correct placement and excellent hardware. | |
| The Best Audio Dealer David99. Add Alpha-Core (Goertz) to the list of factory-direct suppliers of wire. | |
| The best CD player with volume control Snook2. No | |
| The best CD player with volume control Check out a used Accuphase 75DP. They listed at 10K. There have been four or five listed in AudioGon the past three weeks from $3500-4250. They're sold. Nuff said. | |
| Speakers to beat wife-factor ? Avalon anything, gentlemen. And they perform! |
