| Review: Portal Panache Integrated Amplifier I would think you and some others posting here would welcome learning about the recognized standards instead of fighting them tooth and toenail. Sounds like you have a vested interest or agenda. Do you?No vested interest or agenda that I'm aware o... | |
| Review: Portal Panache Integrated Amplifier Steve- It occurs to me that you have an agenda in your relentless harping on this particular detail. If you go to the Portal Website you would see that Portal does, in fact, refer to the Panache as an "Integrated Amplifier". In fact, that title is... | |
| Review: Portal Panache Integrated Amplifier Tedious indeed! My qualifications are very modest in comparison as well: I am in posession of two ears and a wee brain. They may be defective, but the Portal sounds great to me! I have had seperates for most of twenty years now, mostly tube gear. ... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" Yes, sorry I forgot to mention the title, which is indeed "The Milk-Eyed Mender" (thanks Drubin). I think she self-published two earlier CD's, but I've never heard either. The Mindy Smith, by the way, is titled "One Moment More".Marco | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" Mindy Smith is great russ. Dolly actually joins her on her own song "Joliene" which is a great version of that song.I'll add one that I think I may have already mentioned on another thread: Joanna Newsom. She's definitely a love her or hate her ki... | |
| What stole your attention from HiFi? Dean, On any Sunday is a classic for sure. I forgot that was by his pop! Dust to Glory actually puts you in the drivers seat...it's a more 'experiential' version of On any Sunday. If you liked the later (and what's not to like?), you'll love D2G. ... | |
| What stole your attention from HiFi? Now, the freakiest part about the person who posted this 18 year old actually has a drivers licence and a heavily modded supercharged 4.6l V8 that he can run a 1/4 mile in the mid 11's....I just saw the documentary film, "Dust to Glory" about the ... | |
| What stole your attention from HiFi? Hey Chris - good to hear from you, especially that you are getting the most out of life! Good on'ya man! For me it's been a combination of renovating our house for the past eight months, and drastic shifts in my business that has left me trying to... | |

| Review: Portal Panache Integrated Amplifier Audiophiles love sound as well as music. Some love sound more than music and strive to assemble systems that excel at sonics even if this may come at the expense of what others consider good music reproduction.Judging by some posts in these forums... | |
| Review: Portal Panache Integrated Amplifier This seems interesting. A certain amount of gain is necessary for full output of any amplifier. Whether it is in a separate encloser, as a preamp, or is the first stage of the amp, in the amp cabinet itself, is irrevelant. The line output from a C... | |
| Tube recommendations for ARC LS-2 I did some extensive rolling with my LS-2B when I had it. My favorites were the German tubes, Siemens E88CCa and Telefunken E88CC. Be careful to buy from a reputible source as these tubes are expensive and are also counterfitted. Also, the modific... | |
| Tube cdp's and Tubed Output cdp's You guys are going to get me into trouble, cause clearly I need to go out and listen to some more DACs!Glad to hear the SET40 is pleasin' ya Goombah! Sounds like the Exemplar is, well, exemplary! Where are you putting all this stuff, you ain't got... | |
| Jolida JD100 better that the Rega Planet 2000? I've owned the Planet 2000 for several years. Had the Jolida in my work system over the last three months and have also done some separate listening comparisons with that unit, and two others friends own. I cannot say I've heard them both side by ... | |
| Who needs spellcheck? That's OK Dean, Mona's long forgotten you by now. It's the "trying hard" that's the fun part, eh? You did try hard, didn't you? If not, it's never too late to bone-up on your technique. Quit jerkin' off and start practicing! A tongue is a terrible... |
