| Real Stinkers Paul Simon - You're The OneSappy and dull. Sounds like he was forced to write songs under a time crunch. Poor attempts at humor. I listened several times (hoping it would grow on me) and then threw it away. | |
| First 2a3 system I strongly suggest you check out Wright Sound (www.wright-sound.com). His 2A3 amps were voted as one of the best in a shootout of 12 2A3 amps. They are fabulous.JD | |
| SUN 2A3 single ended triode..... Take a look at Wright Sound (http://www.wright-sound.com/). He makes 300B, 2A3 45 SET amps, as well as a couple of push-pull amps. I have a pair of his 2A3 monoblocks (as well as his preamp), and I am VERY pleased!From a survey of 12 single-ended ... | |

| Replacing/Upgrading AC Outlets Go to Audio Asylum and do a search in the "Tweaks/DIY" forum. Lots of discussion on this topic. I ordered Acme silver plated outlets based on my reading.JD | |
| Cardas Cross vs. Ht Pro Silway MK II Another strong performer is the Analysis Plus Solo Crystal interconnect. Very neutral and smooth.JD | |
| the room: diffusors, absorbers, plants, books, mdf Look here:http://www.geocities.com/jonrisch/a.htmLot's of excellent and inexpensive room tweaks, and you get the satisfaction of building them yourself. | |
| What would a 2a3 based amp. bring to the table? More thumbs up for Wright Sound! I recently purchased a pair of Wright 2A3 monoblocks and a Wright preamp, along with a pair of Reimer McCullough speakers which are rated at 94 dB efficiency. A friend who has been building speakers for many years ... | |
| So you're an audiophile - are you also a musician? Yep. Electric bass guitar (and some acoustic upright). I've played since I was a teenager, and I'm 48 now. Playing and listening to music have always been a big part of my life. All the years of playing live have helped me recognize and appreciate... | |
| Very tube-friendly monitor speakers? Check out Reimer speakers. I picked up a pair of used McCullough (42 to 20 khz and 94 dB) for $1200 with stands. He has three models below the McCullough. Unfortunately, his website does not yet list the specs or prices for these models. Rick is a... | |
| Is High End Cable Really Worth It and What Brand I can't recommend a particular cable for your system, but if you're unsure, get him to loan you several cables to audition. Do the same at a few other local stores so you get a variety of cables, and then decide for yourself. Do some research (her... | |
| What are you thankful for? Warrenh: I wholeheartedly agree!jd | |
| Subwoofer recommendations for this system? Thanks to everyone for your suggestions. I called Rick Reimer (who built my speakers) to ask this same question, and he said he will build a subwoofer for me (tuned to match my speakers and using the same veneers for the cabinet). He does not adve... | |
| Tube amp for planar speakers and SS pre I just bought a pair of Wright Audio 2A3 monoblocks (3.5 watts), and they have absolutely incredible bass response. Fast, tight, accurate. Of course you need efficient speakers with amps this small, but don't be fooled about bass response in tube ... | |
| better quality "Y" adapter needed I don't know where to get them, but my local stereo shop lent me a y-connector that was a gold plated solid block y-connector (no wires involved). It worked very well for doing an A-B comparison when auditioning interconnects. It allowed me to run... |
