| Suggestions for preamp compatible with Pass X250? Why deviate from Pass, they get so much right with both pre and amps, there is little reason to to take a chance on another. You will only be able to go sideways or back....Jeff | |
| CES and T.H.E. 2009 - Is anyone going? I will be there...jallen | |
| What piece of music can you play over & over? Rodrigo y Gabriela, playing "Stairway to heaven" is, well heavenly. Acoustic metal at its best. Hear the whole album and the effect is addictive, boistrous, and very involving. "Tamacun" is also one I can listen to over and over. Don't call it fla... | |
| will adding a subwoofer improve overall audio Only if it is a high quality sub, correctly installed and tuned, and matched with the correct speakers. No if one or more of the above are not met. A su is not magic, but has the potential to be. Jallen | |
| I have gone insane, need help Sell all of them and get a VPI or Basis. Even the Clearaudio would be a good choice or Marantz. This would simplify your storage space...jallen | |
| Help VPI turntable hummmmmmm Try floating the gound on the TT motor if your power is 120VAC. If it is 220, keep the ground. Check your interconnect cables, sometimes the fit is bad, or there is grunge on the inside of the RCA. Also, isolate it into one channel if possible. If... | |
| Speaker noise - hissing Welcome to the musical world of tubes. In exchange for SS nasties, there is tube hiss...our imperfect world. The EH and Tungsol tubes are known to be very quiet. Get phono grade tubes if you want really quiet. I find the tubes at RAM/Rodger Modjes... | |
| Cardas Hexlink 5 series any good? They are great cables. A great buy, I doubt you will be sorry, and should have no trouble selling them if you want a different flavor. They exude full, rich dynamic transparency....not bad things. Jeff | |
| Vote for your "Favorite Christmas Music CD or LP" The Russ Freeman Christmas CD is great, and the GRP selections (3 cd set)are ones I can listen to year after year which I can't say about most Christmas music. | |
| I would appreciate some speaker suggestions In the hard economic times, you might find a pair of Maggie 3.6 ribbons. After going to ribbons after 20 years with dynamic speakers, there is no going back. The size of stage, resolution, speed, are addicting. They need a little power to come ali... | |
| Most resolving solid state amp you've ever heard? Jeff Rowland was great with many different speakers. i used the Concentra, resolving, with no SS edge. | |
| Silver cables and CD players I prefer silver with a polyethylene dielectric or silver/copper teflon material wise. Solid core for interconnects, stranded for speaker cables, but some semi-solid core silver plated copper sounds very good as speaker cables. Listen, listen, list... | |
| Analog GURUs out there....what cartridge do I need Hard to beat the Sumiko Blackbird or less expensive BPS. I have used Sumiko, but close in quality is the Audio Technica AT150MLX, a sleeper of a cartridge, and can be found for 250.00 new...a steal, list 500.00. sounds like a good MC, way better t... | |
| A good power conditionner with tube amps ? The best conditioner is raw AC period. jallen | |
| Advice on Shure cartridge, please I have had the Shure V15 in the past and the styli goes bad very fast. The sound is dark, rather lifeless. My advice, get the Audio Technica AT 150MLX which is a spectacular cartridge for the money, way better than the Shure in my system. They tra... |
