| Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama I wouldn’t use the word “truth” in this instance. I would suggest that the word opinion is a better choice. | |
| Good Suggestions for Tube Amps under 6k I’m happy with my ARC Vsi75, only four power tubes and 2 pre tubes. They can now be had for 5 to 6k. | |
| Looking for integrated solid state amp for daily usage Hegel H190 | |
| Recommendation Tube Integrated You can find an ARC VSi75 in your price range, great amp and only six tubes to deal with. four power and two preamp. | |
| What to expect if I import an amp and preamp from a Japan seller via US eBay If you can find out the commodity code, you can figure exactly the import duties. | |
| Need a new integrated, what say you? Have to agree with the Hegel H190. Mine sounds good and the streaming is excellent too. Got a wi-fi extender with an ethernet port on the side and run it to the Hegel. Works great if your router is downstairs and stereo is upstairs. | |
| BEST little know Jazz Album that you ever heard? stuartk, the NHOP you mentioned is definitely unknown to me. Thank you for the heads up. I will definitely check them out. | |
| Speaker Efficiency Then why even make speakers in the 80db range if higher impedance is better? | |
| BEST little know Jazz Album that you ever heard? To me it was little known, "The Trio" Peterson, Pass, Pedersen | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Three Blind Mice Japanese Jazz sampler. | |
| Old records. Or, send a few of the worst ones to a record cleaning service and see if that makes a difference. | |
| Old records. Just use some audio intelligent solutions one step No. 6 and a vacuum record cleaner. With 3000 records, I would think even with a bad stylus rotating through records would take quite some time for a bad stylus to do terrible damage. | |
| what amplification are you running with your Dynaudio Heritage Specials? I’m happy with an ARC VSi75 and a REL sub. For solid state, I use a Hegel H190 which sounds very nice. I didn’t need the power of upper level Hegels. | |
| Getting Back In - But Doing it Sanely I'm liking a Hegel H190 at the moment. However, a ARC I-50 for tubes would also be sweet. For tubes I use a ARC VSi75. | |
| Hegel H190 $2800 They are on sale now for that price. |
