| Why are we going 300 or more directions? Rower30: your original post & further "articles" are very interesting and, if i may say so, a significant contribution to the community. I do of course agree with your basic premise but never have managed to put the matter in the same clear te... | |
| Cambridge 640P Power Supply Upgrade Given an asking price of $70 for aftermarket warts, Wonka's diy power supply looks like a no-brainer. If I understood correctly, all that project entails is to purchase the tranies and then plug the secondary to the equipment... | |
| Aging and Treble and Income? an excellent pair of Quad 57 ELS speakersThese produce outstanding sound within their response spectrum... Nothing to do with getting older:) I've been shopping for speakers for over a year. Noting wrong with what I have but would love something s... | |
| Tube Amplifier for Thiel I wonder if any "more affordable" tube or SS monoblocks may drive the big Thiel nicely. Have you considered the Odyssey products? Their monos sounded very nice to me (driving other speakers). Carver mentioned above is another choice. Both are SS,... | |

| "When Records Ruled The World"...BBC Documentary Great film, moving even!Thanks for pointing it out! | |
| Accuphase E-460 or Bryston BP26 / 4Bsst2 Is anybody familiar with new Accuphase E-460I am. To state the obvious, the 460 is a luxury package that comes at a commensurate price and goes a long way towards justifying that price... in looks, sound & construction quality.Generally speaki... | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. Bvdiman: "During those toying days, I've always kept my old (then new) FMA611 SS as standby" That's a FM Acoustics you;re referring to? If so, it's a needle in a haystack sort of coincidence!A 611 drove the aforementioned Tannoy Canterbury better ... | |
| Spectron Musician III MK.2 or Audio Research DS450 Audiozen -- do you sell or market the AR amps? (Your post reads like ad copy...).OTOH, I agree that the AR amps sound good. They area tad expensive though... | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. How does everyone feel about the something like the KR kronzilla or something like that??I actually listened to Canterburies driven by this amp, and the result was nice. Also listened to AN driving the same pair -- very nice but the Kron gave a "f... | |
