| CHANGING FROM AUDIO RESEARCH TO AUDIO NOTE SYSTEM @ghasley : good review of two different systems! I think the OP should just sell the Wilson's and get the Devore 096's. Keep the ARC gear and get an Audio Note SE amp for alternate listening. No need for an AN preamp! | |
| Supper's Ready An apples and oranges comparison! Sometimes I want cider, other times oj! | |
| I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve? Get these two products from LAST! Stylus cleaner and Stylast. Keep your stylus clean and use Stylast to extend it's life! | |
| Choosing a cartridge for new turntable And the winner is: Hana SL! It will extract more music from those vinyl grooves than the other two! The Shibata stylus rates as among the best profiles for trackability and less wear on the grooves! | |
| Do hi-end DACs offer true value or diminishing return... The higher the price the more confirmation bias is in play! I don't care what your golden ears tell you! If you haven't done a blind listening comparison your conclusions are highly suspect. This is the big fear of the subjectivists - that blind t... | |
| Synergistic Orange and purple fuses popping Stay away from fuses that are not UL rated! | |
| Amp on eBay shipped from Japan? Yes, a few years ago I won an eBay auction for a Sanei 2A3 SET from a Japanese seller. It was near Christmas so he gave me free shipping! No problem with payment/shipping. | |
| Am I a hopeless audio snob? Win a lottery and buy the Tech Das Air Force 1 TT. A cool $100K! Beautiful design! | |
| melody 2a3 mono amps Sounds like the OPT (output transformers) are rolling off the bass and treble. A common problem with tube amps - both single-end and push-pull. Good big iron is expensive! Witness the Carver 275 amp with the small crappy transformers! For its high... | |
| Has anyone compared the Heresy to new KLH model 5? @chorus : I also collect and use vintage Altec's and JBL's. Not to mention the pair of KLH Nine electrostats in the front room! | |
| Has anyone compared the Heresy to new KLH model 5? @chorus +1! I had Heresy 1's and soon sold them! Shouty and lack of bass - they roll off around 65hz. Regarding KLH: Henry Kloss (the designer) of the originals always said his favorite was the Model Six. He preferred a good two-way over a three-w... | |
| From APPJ to Old Buffalo, then tweaked OB til it sang like CARY 300B The OP would have been better off starting with something like a pair of Heath W5 monos! Good big iron makes all the difference! Disclaimer: I have W5's awaiting new caps/tubes. | |
| Does your sound room stink? Get a spray can of Pooph and use it! | |
| Michael Aday (Metloaf) has passed away. Let us also say goodbye today to the passing on Thursday of comedian Louie Anderson at age 68 of cancer! I liked his comedy style! Both Louie and Meatloaf were big heavy guys. | |
| Michael Aday (Metloaf) has passed away. I never cared much for Bat Out of Hell. Too bombastic theater rock! I preferred the Clash, Sex Pistols, Ramones ... this was back in '77-'78! Punk was shaking up the moribund rock scene with new energy! |
