| What's going on with the audio market? Dubya drove it to its knees. At least we are back up and standing, if a bit precariously. | |
| Why Are There So Many Audio Research Reference 5SE's For Sale Fooolish:I have had a number of Arc components over the last 7 or 8 years including the Ref 5 and the Ref 40 which I now own. I’m very familiar with the Ref 5se sound which is between the Ref 5 and Ref 40. Obviously, the Ref 40 is noticeably bette... | |
| Why Are There So Many Audio Research Reference 5SE's For Sale The Ref 5se is very available due to introduction of the Ref 6 which replaces it. But rest assured, the Ref 5se is an astonishingly good pre which can be stolen at used prices. | |
| Artists' lps that don't get the respect deserved Thanks for the response and the site Al. Very interesting. | |
| Artists' lps that don't get the respect deserved Hi Almarg:Taking you back to your December comment regarding The Blues Project, I have a remastered stereo vinyl circa 1986 of Projections. Interested if you have any knowledge re which is best version including the older monos. Although I usually... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Oregon Papa:Ok. Got the blacks. With your amp and pre,which side is up against the rear wall of the unit and which side faces the interior of the unit. I will try your set up first as I have a Ref 150 and a Ref 40. | |
| VPI 3D tonearm adjustment Time for a call to VPI | |
| Bob Dylan MoFi I got a dished copy (both records) of Nashville Skyline from MOFi as well. Have not listened yet. Very uncharacteristic pressing for MoFi. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I've heard the UEF panels and they made a clear improvement to the sound. | |
| Mc 2301 amps I think it a lot depends on where you locate the amps. I had a 2102 for years and never felt it increased the heat level in my sound room (14 x 20). The amp was elevated off the floor and had good circulation all around. That might be part of the ... | |
| VPI 3D tonearm adjustment Hi Last Lemming:There is an adjustment to the inverted cup where the needle sits. It is made from the hole at the top of the arm. An allen wrench fits in the hole and lowers or raises the inverted cup which sits on the pin. (Sorry, I don't remembe... | |
| McIntosh MC275 MK IV vs. MC402 / MC352 I'm much more a fan of the sound of the MC 275 than the MC 402. That's just MHO. | |
| Wilson Watt Puppy 7 or Sophia 2 for my room and gear? I have had Sophias and Watt Puppy 7s, both with 100 wpc of tube power. There was no contest. There was nothing that Sophias did better than the 7s. The only advantage of the Sophias was that they played better with much less wattage (eg 15wpc whic... | |
| Speaker choice : need help between Nola and Sonus Faber Both are outstanding speaker makers. Nola's house sound is crystal clear with a see through midrange. Sonus Fabers tend to be more lush with a dash of sugar. I'm unfamiliar with the Prima Luna sound so I'd say if it's on the classic tube side, go ... | |
| wilson sophia 3 + mark levinson 531H mono block + pre Mcintosh c50 + ps audio DAC Despite the specifications, the Sophias are fairly easy to drive. The Levinsons are powerful and would be put to better use with Sashas. That being said, the Sophias will be very happy with them as well. Can't have too much clean power. |
