| Looking for opinions on ADCOM GFP-715 preamp I'd recommend the GFP-565 over the 715. It pre-dates the 715, but is nice for the money. You can run it active or passive, and it has a nice phono stage. | |
| Which Jazz Albums are similar to Kind of Blue There have been some excellent suggestions made here. I would also recommend recordings from the same era from Harold Land, Benny Golson, Tina Brooks, Kenny Dorham, Art Pepper. If you're looking for a really "cool" and laid back sound, you must ch... | |
| Appearance of Totem Forest I don't see the Krell or Naim being an improvement over the Plinius, but I'm sure some Krell/Naim owners will disagree. ;) | |
| Best value Bookshelf speaker The Tyler Acoustics Taylo Ref. Monitors are certainly worthy of consideration. On proper stands, the VA Haydn is a very nice sounding/imaging speaker. Amazing bottom end from a monitor its size. | |
| Appearance of Totem Forest A nice Audio Research VT-60 would mate well with the SP-6? | |
| Appearance of Totem Forest Chaz,I listened to the Forest for about 1.5 hours last year at a local dealer. They were being driven by the BAT VK-55, with excellent results. I believe the preamp was one of the BAT tube models, but I don't remember which one. They sounded fanta... | |
| VTL ST-150 MB-450 Weiserb,I believe you're thinking of the now discontinued MB-250t amps. The 185s are tetrode/triode switchable. | |
| Rudy Van Gelder: Genius or just lucky? Slipknot,His parents' NJ home, even more interesting! You are correct, the work he performed is what has turned out to be important stuff. Unfortunately, lovers of the Blue Note artists can't always have it all...good music AND primo sound quality. | |
| Rudy Van Gelder: Genius or just lucky? Foster 9, you may want to take a look at some of the XRCD discs...if you haven't already. The selection is somewhat limited, but the sound quality is much better than the OEM disc. The remasters utilizing the K2 process, which is a lower grade ver... | |
| Rudy Van Gelder: Genius or just lucky? I read somewhere that some of the early recordings were made in his NY apartment...shared it with his mother and/or grandmother, if I recall correctly. I very much prefer the LP version of the RVG recordings. What a stable of artists he was fortun... | |
| Appearance of Totem Forest Wow, you can't beat that for customer service. It's nice to see a manufacturer going to that extent to assure a customer's satisfaction. | |
| VTL ST-150 MB-450 I would take a look at the MB-185s, as they have the Signature tranny as well. On the pre-owned market, however, they are only going to run about $1K less than a pre-owned pair of MB-450s. | |
| VPI new Super Feet for Scout/Scoutmaster/Aries Hmmm...I wonder if they would fit on my P25? | |
| why don't tubed amps have headphone jacks? The Cary SLI-80 integrated has a very nice headphone amp. | |
| Power cable for tube output cdp JPS Labs Digital AC. Last time I checked, someone had one listed at around your budget. |
