| What's the best add lib ..: guidelines proposed Trelja, lovely! Elgordo, surely you've heard that the Lab-rador Statement was actually breeded by Cello!!! It is said to outperform the Golden Retriever on all accounts (speed, warmth, reliability/trust, attention to detail, etc). | |
| What tube amps for the Quad ELS 63 Gotcha, Frank, thanks. The AR model I refered to above was indeed a monoblocks version. Sorry! | |
| What's the best add lib ..: guidelines proposed True, there is may be a "hidden" side to such questions as D-K suggests. But imagine questions such as, say, "how good are Kronzilla /Krell 600 (i.e. mega$) amps -- I'm considering buying them".The obvious answer would be, "good amps, buy if it ti... | |
| What's the funniest or dumbest thing you did? That's the spirit, Detlof! | |
| Speaker match for 75 watt Tenor amps Sax, you can drive to happiness HUNDREDS of speakers, expensive or otherwise, with yr amps. If yr moniker is representative of taste, then mikelavigne has made a point. If not... the list is long & my knowledge too restricted.With all due resp... | |

Try Kora, etc, & forget ze ozerwise excellente A-Note -- unless you can tweak the electrical matching. Maybe Sean &... | |
| What's the funniest or dumbest thing you did? Suits: pls confirm that it was audiophile-approved sparkling water (is there such a thing as audiophile- approved water? audiophiles usually approve of vitaminous fluids) | |
| What tube amp mates well with Sonus Faber Amati's? Hi Rhythm: PLS let us in yr other secrets, i.e. pre? /cables / musical tastes (kind of music, sonic preferences)? I'm taking a shot in the dark( :)), but here goes: no experience with the Cary but some with a few other tubes. General comment: the ... | |
| What's the funniest or dumbest thing you did? True to style, I have beheaded a number of cantilevers, a Sumiko BPS @ least 10 times-- at the end, I was offered reparation for free (by Mr v Den Hul, no less, taking pity on me). Fortunately I never killed my expensive Clearaudio. Better still, ... | |
| What tube amps for the Quad ELS 63 My small experience of old with 63's (10 yrs ago) both agrees with Detlof's &, strangely, agrees & differs from Frank's above:-The small Jadis (now Defy7) gave me great joy;-The Jadis 80 were my "reference" at the time; note that these wer... | |

| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck A corollary to Ernie above: "I wish to have the "best" transducers & amps I can afford, so I know I HAVE the sound in my house even if I can't actually HEAR it YET (because I don't have the appropriate connecting wires, support, etc)". Likewis... | |
| Pain in my butt All my wishes from afar for patience (back problems take time to heal), perseverance (keep the music flowing). May the butt remain & the pain go away! Cheers | |
| Velodyne ULD-18 or Audio PHysic Rhea sub.... No-one having mentioned the Rhea yet, I thoght I'd chip in. The Rhea sounded excellent & seamless with Virgo's. There was no perceptible muddiness and on reasonable recordings the sound of the strings was very clear (i.e. many cellos).With the... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Jpms -- having experienced the Krons not the Cortese, I can only extrapolate. First, check out the input impedance for the Krons & refer to the output impedance of the Cortese. As I have heard them, the Kronz provide brute power &, I expec... |
