| Retro Hi End Trivia Question I remember these. They and the contemporaneous Rapaport Amp had a penchant for blowing up, as I recall. I think I saw one of the later on ebay recently! | |
| What's the best mid-range driver available? Why don't you use a Quad Esl or the like? | |
| Highly Polished wire???? Do any manus. ultrasonically clean their cables during production? | |
| Your Opinion: Top 3 Vintage Receivers? The Yamaha CR 1020 and others in that series were excellent. | |
| Looking for speaker to match with pass lab aleph3 Quads (57 and 63 variants) work well with the Pass Aleph 3 and 5, in my experience. | |
| Which Amp for uppermost freq' in tri-amped setup? I've owned the Bedini and the Pass - the Pass is better but either is a good choice. | |
| Tuner in the 600 range for classical music? Rx - Get an Accuphase T100 or T 101 and have Don Scott align/modify it. Also, if you can, get a good roof antenna such as an APS with a Channelmaster rotator. Make sure the cable runs directly to the tuner without amps or distribution boxes. I use... | |

I find many cables have an artificial presence hump in the lower midrange that add a syrupy or chesty quality to baritone voices. The Nordo... | |
| A search for great cables for electrostatics Detlof, how would you compare the Innersound speaker cables to the Magnan and others? | |
| Best Inexpensive Tuner? Sugar, I'm with you 110%! | |
| Please help tube amp for panels and SS for woofer IMHO the Wolcotts are so good I don't think you need the Becantos on the bottom. Can you try them like this? | |
| Best Inexpensive Tuner? Sugar, Don Scott knows whereof he speaks. He made my vintage accuphase 30 - 100% better in nearly all specified dimensions. It is dead quiet under no signal conditions and more dimensional than ever on live BSO broadcasts. I'm sure he could do the... |
