| Jethro Tull recent Remasters vs Mobile Fidelity? I happen to disagree with Bjack70jr. The JT remasters have a thin quality when A/B'd against the MoFi's. The Floyd remasters are better but the stereo image is closed-down a little bit. On the other hand, it's great to have JT's "This Was" and "Be... | |
| Whats better? a digital amp or a linear amp I've got two PS Audio HCA-2s bi-amping my system. Nothing else has the dynamic range or speed (slew rate) to match these amps. I've had Class A circuitry Thresholds and Pass Labs and these HCA-2s have much less colouration. The only change I plan ... | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? I live for soundstage and there has been nothing better than my first listen to the Audible Illusion 3A tube pre-amp and the JM Labs Daline 6.1 speakers. W-i-d-e, D-e-e-p and T-a-l-l. | |
| Best hi-fi salon 'round I have to give a vote to Soundex in Willow Grove, PA and The House Of Music in Jenkintown, PA. They both allowed my children to sit with a dvd (that they chose) playing in a home theater room while I listened peacefully in an audio room. No hassle... | |
| How do you know when preamp tubes go bad? I'm no expert, but I thought they started to "ring" at the start of their demise. The ringing would go away by tapping the chassis top but randomly return weeks later. I'm currently running an Audible Illusions 3A with white Amperex 6922 (NOS). | |
| To biwire or not to biwire...? I currently bi-wire and I definitely reap the benefits of a more controlled low-end and a more defined high-end. Just try it. | |

| what speaker cables would you use? I absolutely LOVE my Wireworld Polaris III's bi-wired. They really added width and depth to my system. | |
| Neat Ultimatum I thought the WAF had set an ultimatum! | |
| Tube Pre-Amp Upgrade Advice for Young Audiophile If you listen to an Audible Illusions pre-amp you ill choose it. | |
| Do isolation devices really help? The answer is this simple: My wife noticed the dramatic difference. She is not an audiofile enthusiast.By the way, she notices change in cabling also. It's just hard to get her to sit down and experience these changes, but when she does, she exper... | |
| What did you replace your DQ-10's with? Boy, I never expected such a big response! Thanks to everyone.The electro-statics do sound intriguing but I'm worried about them shorting due to feathers and dander from my childrens parakeets, African grey timnah parrot, and the rabbits. I vacuum... | |
| The best amp or improvement for Dahlquist DQ-10's Warrenh, So far I've heard three Meadowlark models that are OK but still not as "lush" in the mids and highs. (And the bass wasn't as tight as I'd like).I've also demo'd various Castle, Energy, JM Labs, Monitor Audio, Paradym lines/models. Hopeful... | |
| The best amp or improvement for Dahlquist DQ-10's Thanks to everyone so far. I'm going to check out amp's today. The DQ-10's already have the crossover mods. And Warrenh, I can't find anything that sounds as "lush" as the DQ-10's. | |
