| Would you Upgrade? Tekton Double Impacts ($3K including shipping) are a good recommendation! Why spend more? | |
| Would you Upgrade? Soundstage is entirely dependent upon the recording! Most recordings are flawed. The better the system the more obvious the flaws! | |
| Speaker Upgrade Recommendation for Current Analog System - under $10,000 Budget Tekton Double Impacts ($3K including shipping) or the next model up in the line! Best bang for the buck! | |
| Why do you need so much power? I used a Bedini 25/25 with the Quad 57's for years. Perfectly satisfying! But that speaker is severely limited by power handling and easily damaged. | |
| Audio-Technica VM750SH Dual Moving Magnet Shibata Stylus Stereo Turntable Cartridge That is a reasonable price for a Shibata stylus cartridge! The Hana SL MC is $750. What TT do you have? | |
| Custom power cables for powered speakers Contact BLE to make a custom pair! Their stock PCs are really reasonably priced - and excellent build quality! | |
| Do you ever miss vintage gear you no longer have? I miss my AGI 511 preamp (1976). Part of my first high end system! Used it with the GAS Son of Ampzilla and the Infinity Monitor speakers with the Walsh tweeters! Now I have two Sons and a pristine pair of those Infinity's purchased over the past ... | |
| Let’s share the music that gives us the chills every time. Also Sprach Zarathustra - Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony on RCA Living Stereo! | |

| Klipsch Heritage Range Metal horns used for midrange and treble have been plagued by "ringing" - an obvious coloration. The plastic horns in my Speakerlab 7's are noticeably smoother and more natural sounding! | |
| SST Son of Ampzilla ii power amp James Bongiorno designed fine SS gear (SAE, Dynaco, GAS, Sumo, SST). Right now I am using the Sumo Andromeda amp with DCM Time Windows. This combination sounds quite impressive! I also have on hand two of the old GAS Sons and a Thoebe preamp. I ex... | |
| Best or Most Interesting Speakers Maybe I could raise my Quad 57's about 3 feet off the floor and sit between them? | |
| Major EXOGAL Comet/Ion problems Another small audiophile company on the brink of extinction! Good luck if you try to sell the Exogal gear! | |
| Separates or not? Since you have a Bryston amp get the Bryston .5 preamp listed now on eBay - $600 + shipping. I have the same combination. Bryston has an excellent reputation for standing behind their products. For use with your LOMCs you can get the Bellari SUT (... | |
| Looking for a black brushed mental bookshelf speaker A/D/S 200's available now on eBay for "Buy it now" price of $160 + $30 shipping. An excellent small metal cabinet speaker that easily sounds as good as the more costly others listed above! Black finish, too! |
