What tt 's have you sold after getting a Lenco?
Does anyone sell completed lencos? 
Joan Baez - Do I just not get it?
Swampwalker - Yeah, for sure the game goes for Neil Young. I like him, but if someone told me they found his voice unlistenable I'd understand why.And no, it's not my gear ( :My issue with her is not "thin-ness," it's that vibrato. 
Joan Baez - Do I just not get it?
Swampster - The point that I was trying to make, perhaps ineffectively, was that even though Bob Dylan can't sing, he can't sing in a manner that doesn't bug me. In other words, it works for him. From what I've heard of Joan Baez so far, it doesn'... 
Joan Baez - Do I just not get it?
WowI was out for the weekend, and haven't seen any responses to this until now. Thanks for all the insight and discussion!So it seems as though most of Joan Baez's popularity (past and present) stems moreso from her political messages communicated... 
Monitors for a bedroom system.......
I use the Von Schweikert VR1 in a bedroom system. They are designed to be placed close to a wall. They sound and look great for $1000 new. Very good at low volumes. 
Classe CA-200 and B&W 805N combo??
The problem is your room, not the equipment.If you don't have a bigger/better room to move your stereo into, I'd recommend looking into a headphone setup if you want anything closely resembling musicality. 
Music Your Wife Will Really LISTEN To with you ?
My girlfriend (age 21) Thinks Diana Krall sounds like a man, loves Ella, likes most good chamber music, orchestral music makes her a little crazy in the head as she is a perfect pitched musical genius and can't help stressing out about key signitu...

Tube substitute in Jolida 302b. 12AU7 for 12AT7?
No, you can't. 12AT7 and a 12AU7 are not interchangable. 
A tade more briteness - Jolida 302b. Tubes?
I've never heard the tyler speakers... But in general, an EL34 amp is a midrange amp. Cables and tubes are "tweaks" as far as I'm concerned, and shouldn't be relied on as tone controls. You might just be experiencing the limitation of the Jolida i... 
High Pass a hard-to-drive speaker - Now Easy????
Gregm - Thanks for the reply"Good hi-powered amps are invariably expensive. But NOT, by definition, compromised as you seem to believe."I respect your opinion on this, but it is contrary to my understanding and experience. This is a discussion for... 
Magnepans vs Quad 22L's..
Hi Beernut,The 22ls are a great set of speakers, and maggies can be great too - but both have the comprimises, requirements, and limitations.Maggies are harder to drive than your 22Ls, and require much more breathing room. the 22Ls will be more dy... 
Mini Monitors - Dynaudio and JM Labs
"I just listened to Dynaudio C1's once again this past weekend. My opinion hasn't changed. Sorry to say. The Micro Be's mop the floor with these monitors."I'm assuming you listened to these two pairs of speakers back to back, within the context of... 
Mini Monitors - Dynaudio and JM Labs
Aktchi - We are not talk about low frequencies, we are talking about high frequencies above 25khz. I certainly agree with you about the low frequency point - through many trials I have my system flat to around 20hz, and certainly have learned that... 
Can a monitor sound like a floorstander??
No, a monitor cannot sound like a floorstander, no matter how high quality.Dynaudio C1, Guarnaris, ATC, Verity Parsifal Monitor, whatever it is, even when you add a SOTA Sub like a Velodyne DD, will NEVER sound like a Watt Puppy, A Utopia, a big k...
