| Tubes & Audio Research Corp. Richard, I don't think your opinion carries much validity, after jerking me around twice on a pre-amp. I've got good service from the forementioned "California guy" lately, I suggest if you have an issue with him, you ought to get in touch and see... | |
| Presets for Magnum Dyanlab FT-11 Sorry for taking a bit of time to respond. Thanks John, worked like a charm! Great tuner BTW...Jeff | |
| Take the audiophile quiz! I kinda enjoyed the survey, for those of you who took offense, lighten up. There's no reason why we shouldn't poke fun at ourselves, in particular, those of us that qualify as tweaks. | |
| B & W Signature 30 Best At Any Price? I haven't heard the 30's yet, but I did audition the 801 and 802 as recent as yesterday. I'll stick with my Martin Logan Quest Z's. And, I agree, their product line (with the exception of the DM302 and DM601) are overpriced. Jeff | |
| Best and Worst customer service? YBA, Oracle, Aragon. All have given me terrific service, including items I've bought used off the 'net. If you have the opportunity to buy any of their products, don't hesitate at all. To maximize your audiophile experience, get a good relationshi... | |
| Apogee Acoustics Caliper,which amp? Apogees seem to work best with Classe Audio amplification, Dave and Jason worked well together way back when... | |
| Need help on one box CD player. I tried most out there, finally bought a YBA Integre, very nice player. Almost analog sounding, if you get a chance, take a listen. | |
| Is there an alternate to Martin Logans? I own a pair of Martin Logan Quest Z's, and they play plenty loud with excellent bass. I've yet to hear another speaker with the speed and detail of the ML's (I owned a pair of Apogeee Duetta's for several years, very smooth but a power hog and la... | |
| TUBE or SS? Riv3r this response is pretty self serving since I have an Audio Research SP9 MkII for sale in the classifieds here. I now use an Audio Research SP14, suffice to say I'm a fan of AR, worth considering...Rgds, Jeff | |
| Turntable Problems I use the Grado Reference Platinum in my office system (Oracle Alexandria and stock arm). No problems at all, nice sound. Turntables are finicky beasts, re-check everything, there's bound to be something out of whack that needs a little tweaking. | |
| TUBE or SS? I suggest a tube pre-amp and solid state amp, you tend to get the best of both worlds. Re-tubing pre-amps is cheap, the care and feeding of tubed amps can be quite significant. My Audio Research pre-amp with Classe amps and Martin Logan Quest Z's ... | |
| bridging binding posts Why not contact your Proac dealer, or the distributor near you, or Proac themselves? I'm sure the bridges aren't too expensive, and if for some reason you ever decided to sell your speakers having the orginal bridges will make it easier to sell (a... | |
| CD players This is a little off topic, since the player is a solid state unit, but, I have a YBA CD Integre and it sounds very tubish to my ear. Real nice player... | |
| Budget phono stage- advice appreciated Thanks so much for taking the time to answer. $400 is a little more than I'd prefer to spend, but, my vinyl deserves a good step-up. Perhaps once I sell my Audio Research SP9 II pre-amp, I'll go fer it. David, yeah, can't shake my love of analog, ... | |
| Are audiophiles pot heads??? I doubt you would have asked if audiophiles are alcoholics if the baby was holding a wine glass. The pot stigma really ought to go by the wayside, smoking pot is no worse than drinking a six pack of beer. To each his own is my motto, I would imagi... |
