| Dan D'Agostino Momentum amplifier- which preamp? Audio Research Ref 5se is a great combo with Dag amps. Tested them in house. Best of tubes and solid state. | |
| ARC Ref 75 vs REF 150 Nice speakers. I'd go with the extra power to satisfy an 88db sensitive speaker with the bass capabilities of the C4. | |
| What to do: upgrade amp or buy pre-amp I agree with Lost Bears.The Ref 5se is significantly better than the Ref 5. Also, I had a pair of Ref 210s in my system and now have a Ref 150 with KT 150s. I prefer the Ref 150. I thought the Ref 210s were a little too light and airy for my taste... | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... I agree that Bruce circa 1975 to 1983 was probably the best live act I've seen together with Prince (whose music I do not like nearly as much). And I have seen them all live since the late 60s except the Beatles, Hendrix and Janis (ie I've seen St... | |
| Looking for new DAC: one box or two? The Lampi is right at the top of the list for me with the Spectral (pcm only).I also like Trinity, MSB, Aesthetix, Playback Designs and Esoteric. Have never warmed to DCS. These are all different flavors but you must hear the Lampi and the Spectra... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? David12 I happen to agree with you. I've heard 3 different sets of Magico at 3 different shows---all set up by Alon Wolf. I have found Magico to be accurate reproducers of sound with a touch of sterility that keeps them from drawing me in. My feel... | |
| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? Haven't moved on to D'Agostino, but will add it to my system when funds allow as an adjunct to (not replacement for) my ARC Ref 150 (w KT150 tubes). Love them both. | |
| Is Vinyl Worth It DgarretsonWell put.every time I feel the need to get a new power cord, interconnect or tweak, it's almost always because i've spent more time listening to digital. When I listen to my turntable, I often think to myself---my system is right where I... | |
| Is Vinyl Worth It I remember a demonstration that Andy Singer conducted at the NY Stereophile show about 5 years ago with an outstanding system flanked by a DCS stack and a Basis turntable playing the same classical music selections on vinyl and cd. I believe he wa... | |
| Van Morrison "Duets" Theduke:Usually true but I enjoyed Willie Nelson's recent duets album"To All the Girls" | |
| Van Morrison "Duets" Hi Raymonda:Got mine today. Will listen to it this weekend. Mine looks disappointing...a couple of fairly deep pinhole depressions in the vinyl where the grooves are on album 1. But I've seen such things before and the record still sounded good. | |
| Best recorded rock song ? Thanks Dayglow. I'm only a bit ashamed now. But I can tell every audiophile that once it is heard, it becomes part of the showoff repertoire. | |
| Audio Desk & it's service Purchased mine from TheCableCo. Excellent service. | |
| Best recorded rock song ? How could we forget The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. I use this to impress as well as the White Album, esp Mother Nature's Son. Then the usual --Steely Dan, PF, Fleetwood Mac, Zep, Blood Sweat and Tears, all of Moondance----and not to mention th... | |
