| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat @grannyring You said "2) you don’t understand the technology and what’s at play here". Boy are you ever right! I've tried to follow the "Mat" threads here but do not recall anyone discussing the "technology" at work. If you have such informati... | |
| Best audio companies and dealers I can't believe I left out...Clear Day Audio - Paul Laudati, the sole proprietor and cable maker for Clear Day, is as nice a guy as I have ever talked with in this hobby. The quality that he is offering for the asking price is practically absurd.... | |
| Preamp Advice Needed - Gryphon Amp - Currently ARC Ref5se @philipwu Good for you! The Backerts are the finest of gentlemen. I would bet, based on how great my extensively modified cj line stage sounds, that their proprietary gear must be really something!🎼 | |
| Best audio companies and dealers Companies who make great gear and stand behind it!SMc Audio - What Steve, Patrick and company can do for your vintage McCormack amplifier is breathtaking. The original DNA concept was a winner and remains one as they continue to offer fantastic c... | |

| Next step: preamp or phono preamp Perhaps you might consider a preamp that includes a good phono stage. | |
| Ayre preamp no output Wild guess! Any possibility that an output fuse blew due to the start-up after the meter change?I have no personal experience with Ayre gear, but have heard nothing but great things about their quality. Hope you can figure it out! | |
| Melody Gardot - Which albums to buy? @dodgealum Interesting observation about Ms. Krall. Until I got the LP of "Live in Paris" I was having a rough time understanding why she was so popular among so many listeners. The "Live" album helped to humanize her and changed the way I lis... | |
| Melody Gardot - Which albums to buy? @grannyring Is it the performance, recording quality or a bit of both that turns you off on the "live in Europe" album? Thanks! | |
| Melody Gardot - Which albums to buy? @tooblue Thanks for opining. I think I'll get into "My One and Only Thrill/Live in Paris" first and if I like it as much as I suspect I will, I'll check out "Live in Europe". | |
| Melody Gardot - Which albums to buy? Thanks for your responses. I really appreciate reading your opinions. I ordered "My One and Only Thrill" from Amazon. It is the import disc including the EP of "Live in Paris".@tooblue Could you please opine on the sound quality and "mix" of ... |
