| Tube preamp, Leave On Always or ON/OFF? ALWAYS ON. Solid state or tube. Always. I never turn mine off. It's an Audible Illusions M3A. It's known as a "tube eater". I had the same tubes in it (Amperex JAN) for 5 years. The JAN's are still good! I just took them out to listen to different... | |
| Got any of your dream system yet? Definitely keeping the Audible Illusions Modulus 3A. And I'll keep my Dahlquist DQ-10's - even though they're packed away in the dining room now since I've gotten my Acoustat 3's. (Thanks Chris and Don ala' Elgordo). The DQ-10's are too good to ju... | |
| tweak, do they realy bring improvement? Sadly, some tweaks are worthwhile; others worthless. I find power cables and speaker cables a waste BUT interconnects and isolation Very Valuable. I'm still waiting for a turntable made of sorbothane. As I've stated before - I keep the tweak when ... | |
| "hard bop" jazz heads.... My favourite is The Cannonball Adderley Quartet "Live in San Fran at the Jazz Workshop" and I have a few by everyone AlbertPorter mentions. Nothing grooves live this session. | |

| I need more cowbell.... "I'm burnin' I'm burnin' for you" | |
| Memories........What made you catch the Audio Bug? Most think I have William's desease. It was covered on 60 Min's last night. You basically have music in you and you don't know why. | |
| suggestions on preamp Nothing beats the Audible Illusions line of pre-amp in that price range. Get a Modulus 3A and you'll never turn back. If you live near Jersey, you can come over and hear mine. | |
| Who u gots da most uv??? The Smiths and Morrissey. Beside every pressing from every country and every promo from every country and every colour vinyl - that's right! - from every country, (Remember I started with "Beside") - I have over 100 vinyl boots and over 100 cd boo... | |
| Tube swapping in amps and preamps I've been swapping for weeks now in my AI M3A and all I can say is, "Buy as many well-reviewed tubes as you can and start swapping" 'cause most have a distinct sound. Plus, it's really fun. | |
| OK Come Clean, whats in your closet ? Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah!!!!!!! I just read returned from vaca and read the post. Not even the responses! You gottaa' be kiddin' me. The "For Sale" list I made ,"To be listed on AGon", ended up being longer than I thought and I never got around to ... | |
| Pioneer PD65 needs a DAC Buy an ECD-1. Nothing beats it at the price. Nothing. p.s. You can bring anything over my house to compare it to. | |
| Best Tubes for Audible Illusions 3 Pre-Amp One thing to keep in mind - I Never turn the power off on Any component (except the turntable). I never even "mute" the AI 3A. I feel, with all electronics, that it's the warming/cooling./warming effect that kills components. I may be wrong but it... | |
| Best transport for redbook and HDCD? Tombowlus, Why the Arcam FMJ CD23T ? The tray seems flimsy. Is it jitterless? | |
| Best Tubes for Audible Illusions 3 Pre-Amp I will be able to provide a detailed review by the end of July. I have bought multiples of the best reviewed tubes on the Web. (Three review sources including Joe's). This includes pinched Amperex 6922's, grey-plate Seimans CCa's, Telefunken E188C... |
