| What's it worth to you? I have #7 - the Velvet Underground Andy Warhol "unpeeled banana" LP in mint condition original pressing. I got it from the first teenage owner's record stash! Any bids? This is the first version with the 'full torso" back cover photo. | |
| Will a New Amp Sound Better Than My ML333? No, a sideways move at best. | |
| High Fidelity Reveal IC's Wire is not a tone control. To believe otherwise is to be delusional. Unfortunately many here are so! | |
| Re-tubing my Audio Research Ref 110 Speakers connected - check. Multimeter connected - check. 0.65 VDC - check. The four 6H30's can go into any of their respective sockets. After this setup play some music for 30 minutes. Keep the meter connected. Then check the meter reading and re... | |
| Good read: why comparing specifications is pointless Measurements matter in all aspects of life - audio is not an exception! When I heat a pizza in an oven I don't stick my hand in and feel how hot it is! Ovens have thermometers for that! | |
| What selections do you play when showing off your system to others? DSOTM! | |
| A New MC to Catch One's Attention You've got to be nuts or have money to burn to spend $9K on a cartridge. They all wear out and need replacement! | |
| Which power cords have high resolutions and separation?? Nasaman: here's what Rocky the Squirrel said to Bullwinkle the Moose:"You don't have to be a squirrel to be nuts!" | |
| Help! Trying to pick an amp/preamp for an Acoustat 1+1s Forget about any amp less than 200wpc. With a sensitivity of around 81db/meter the 1+1's need a lot of watts to come alive. My Perreaux 2150B with its 920wpc@2ohms would be a good match. Another good amp would be the Acoustat TNT - designed by Jim... | |
| Which LS3/5a? You should also consider the Chartwell and Goodman's versions, along with KEF. | |
| Which LS3/5a? Rogers LS3/5a! I have a pair. Bought on eBay from a seller in Lithuania (!) for $960. I first listened to the Rogers back in 1976 at Audiocom in CT. The price then was $450/pr. Now they sell for around $1800 used. That’s a good price compared to a... | |
| Solid state to tube If you can afford it the Dave Berning ZOTL amp is an easy SOTA recommendation. | |
| Solid state to tube I have a SET 45 amp built by Will Vincent in Idaho. He does excellent work! He offers custom builds of the Dynaco ST70 and the Baldwin 6L6 amps at good prices. | |
| LTA microZOTL or Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme 1.3? Keep using the EAR preamp! You like its flavor. That's all that matters! Changing to the other two preamps is a sideways move. | |
| Aragon 8008 mk2 power cord Save your money! Buy a Pangea AC cord ($99) from Audio Advisor and stop fretting! That's what I did when I needed a cord for a component that was missing one. |
