Does this tube preamp exist? Hi guys,I looked at SF and Melos; I know Melos went under and I suspect SF is heading that way (if they haven't closed up shop already). It's always nice to know you can get your stuff serviced if need be. I'll certainly look at the PV11, didn't s... | |
limited outlets in wall and need for electricity If you don't want to run dedicated lines (or it's impractical) you can gang together multiple outlets and have a nice clean install with minimal fuss and very low cost. I had the same challenge as you're facing, I added three more outlets. Having ... | |
Is there a problem at Revel? I can buy the story that Harmon is re-vamping the line up and what not, especially if they intend to make their various product lines more reliable. What does marketing and next-generation attributes have to do with making customers wait several m... | |
Calling all analog experts Nice dilemma you have, there are lots of good 'tables on the market. I've heard most of the front ends you've listed, but again arm and cartridges are always different so it's very hard to say which is "best". My choice would be an Oracle Delphi V... | |

Shanling CDT100 vs T200 for red book CD's??? I've heard both at length and prefer the CDT-100 for red book and it's also less expensive (primarily due to no SACD support). The upsampling is a nice addition and does improve redbook, HDCD's sound great! I bought the 100, no regrets | |
5 things I will not do agian, what about you? 1) I will not run speaker wire in the attic again, I still have dozens of scars from smacking my head on the exposed roofing nails.2) I will not sell off any wire of any kind, I'll need it when I put together yet another system.3) I will not spend... | |
Wi Fi and Hi Fi Albert,I have a network set up at home, both wired and wireless. 802.11 (WiFi) is a reliable interface but... and here's the but. The further away you are from the base station the lower the connection speed, and, the more users sharing that signa... | |
CES is almost upon us. Hear,I joined a start-up in June 2002, I'm flogging a L4-L7 content processor (no, not a NPU). I've heard rumours about Amphion but nothing I know to be fact. Drop me an email when you get a chance. Best, Jeff | |
