| best power conditioner for less than 500 buckagroo Not sure what currency the "buckagroo" is, but I might consider a less limiting power conditioner for the amp such as a PS Audio Ultimate Outlet (you'll need the High Current version, I'd think, for the Bryston), which can be had on the used marke... | |
| Best tubes/mods for Jolida 302a I've owned a 302B and as I recall the tubing is similar. I've had a bit of experience with some of those tubes so I could make the following recommendations for retubing. Of the current production EL-34 tubes I've enjoyed the ElectroHarmonix (EH) ... | |
| The Listening Chair - What type do you use? My sympathies David! I know those Christmas trees don't make very comfortable sitting. Those blasted decorative balls keep breaking and you gotta pick the bits of green and red glass out of your ass. Viggen - no ideas, but if you find one on disco... | |
| The Listening Chair - What type do you use? Hey Gunbei, Viggen & fans of comfy chairs - I found out the name of my buddies chair that is the most comfy chair I've sat in (the Le Corbusier runs a close second and I do prefer reclining when listening); it is The Ox Chair by Hans Wegner. M... | |
| What is the best tweak? I gotst' all the equipment I need right here my friend. My favorite tweak is puttin' that equipment to some good use. Nothing like the nasty to put me in the mood for listening. Everything sounds better after dockin' your Johnson in the tunnel of ... | |
| Album which you have listened to most? Tom Waits would probably top my list if it were limited to albums I've had for more than five years. Many of his albums would be in my top ten repeated plays of all time. I can't get enough of his music and love all of it. "Swordfishtrombone" is a... | |
| Replacing horns and woofers on Klipsch Cornwalls Klipsch parts come up regularly on eBay also. That's a hit or miss gamble, but there are certainly good deals to be had, and the parts are usually the vintage stuff, which is a good thing. IMO the vintage Klipsch drivers are better made than the n... | |
| The Listening Chair - What type do you use? No Gunbei, I've never bought anything from them. There are a bunch of online chic-ass-die-yuppy-scum, Italian design-addict online brothels like that selling knock-off's at great prices. DWR is another, and there is one I can't recall the name, bu... | |
| The Listening Chair - What type do you use? You got it Gunbei. Mine's genuine pony skin, so one of Pokey's relatives may have sacraficed his life to provide me with some comfy-ass sittin'! OK, yeah, it's just a dead cow, but it really gets some folks fumin' when I tell'em it's pony. Viggen,... | |
| The Listening Chair - What type do you use? I like to recline when I listen. I use a Le Corbusier Chaise lounge chair. VERY comfortable! Cool looking too!Marco | |
| Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? There's an awful lot of entitlement and opinions flying around on this thread. My buddy, Duane, plays the skin flute (I think he also appraises them too) and I know for a fact if you blindfolded him in the room with his kickass home theatre setup ... | |
| Guilty Pleasures I get all weepy and shit over the soundtrack to "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". Don't know what it is, but I can't go a month without a listen. Go through one of those travel-packs of Kleenex every time! That Dick Van Dyke really could belt-em-out, he ... | |
| I have a lack of depth in "soundstage". "Soundstage"...yeah, right...we all know what you're talking about. I got an email the other day that might help you:Stop buying pumps and doing useless exercises!These methods will not work in a million years..Our pills or patches will do all the... | |
| keeping collection organized????? I started writing it all down on some graph paper, but that got all washed-up - it got wet in the bathroom when I left it on the floor there (I'd brought it in there to do some critical editing during a lengthy session on the crapper and forgot ab... | |
| looking for a warm ss amp.... Fishcall- I used to have a B&K EX-140 (the early dual-mono version of their popular ST-140). I did an A/B to the ST140 at the shop I bought it from (Singer in NYC) and prefered the dual-mono by a slight edge for overall detail. The ST140 was V... |
