Jupiter vs. Vcap Odam?
Sorry, meant JUST Jupiters, not Jensens....  
Looking for an old Stereophile review ...
then I read it?  
Thin, Flexible & Inexpensive Speaker Cables?
Russ69: I want it to sound neutral  
Modern "Vintage" Sounding Preamps
How about a PV10b? My only concern with it is tube glare in the upper mids, just something Stereophile commented on, moreso with the PV10 and PV10a  
Tube Preamps that work well with SS amps?
To the person who responded immediately above, sure I will respond if necessary. I’m just patiently reading. I’m just gathering information here. I didn’t mean to post two versions of the same topic, by the way. This was meant to address something... 
Are you also leaving free (virtually) performance on the table?
What do you recommend (brand name, etc.) to clean connections with? 
Restored Vintage SS Amps for Sale?
Roxy54: I have searched both at length. Also, I've had too many bad incidents already with the wild west known as Audiomart to really trust anyone there. I'd rather go straight to a reputable individual as confirmed by other audiophiles even if it... 
Heed Obelisk Integrated?
Anyone? 
SS Budget "Tone" Integrated Amplifiers
"What's the budget? Sugden would be good, or maybe Exposure."Roxy: let's say $2000 but preferably $1000. I've demo'd the Exposure 2010s2, didn't care for it. I have a Rega Io now and I preferred the Io to it, ditto an Arcam A28.  
Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way?
I ASK AGAIN: PLEASE NO MORE ARGUING OVER A SPEAKER BRAND THAT DOESN'T EVEN EXIST ANYMORE! FFS! 
Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way?
OK, this is my forum post so PLEASE no more GMA discussions! Let's stay on topic. I could care less about whether GMA did bad or not! 
Budget LOMC preamp recommendations needed
I had the same issues with a Clearaudio Artist V2 and Concept MM before the Dyna and just upgraded my amplification so I know it's not the amplifier (and my digital front end sounds much better at this point) 
Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ???
Yep, I hate to admit it but it's for real. Here are my impressions of it ...http://www.pinkfishmedia.net/forum/showthread.php?t=42374&highlight=playstationHere's a highlight from my posting:"I think if I were a digital designer, I'd use this t... 
Need help Cary CD-308 or Naim CD5i
Jond's right -- there's no digital output on a Naim player. Naim says it's because you absolutely cannot improve upon an integrated cd player solution due to jitter and so forth. Sometimes I wonder if it's yet another Naim trick to keep you in the... 
Need help Cary CD-308 or Naim CD5i
I've gone up the Naim path from 5i to 5x to CDX2. The 5x is the sweet spot. For once a reviewer (Stereophile) got it right. If you go for a 5i, get the new version, which is now 5i (i in italics). Different DAC. The original 5i was all drive but l...
