| Soul Recommendations If you are into soul, you should -- no, scratch that -- you MUST check out "Beg Scream & Shout, The Big Ol' Box of 60's Soul" on Rhino. This 6 CD box set is packaged in what looks exactly like an old 45 box (hinges, lock and handle on top). Th... | |
| Shelf Material Subaruguru, just think of how good it will sound if you getyour hands on a few clamps. Tongue firmly in cheek. | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword LOL. Really. | |
| Shelf Material Redkiwi, for butcher block material check Professional Cutlery Direct at www.cutlery.com. The only blocks in the current catlogue are 16x16, but they can probably hook you up with any size you want ro have something cut to your specs. I would thin... | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword And you told me that the Pantera Digest was "redneck"...;>) | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword Ditto. | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword Redkiwi, I am truly envious. A 156 (maybe a Selespeed) would be the perfect complement to our current Alfas. While I'm dreaming, let's add a 166 for the wife. As Dug says, we're not so patiently waiting for the forthcoming US Alfas and hoping they... | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword OK, my faith is restored with some people the understanding of different character among seemingly similar products. Yeah, I own three Alfas, too. So couldn't resist getting in on this. Dug, I'm starting to have a 3l built for the GTV6, this is ab... | |
| Help me find a smooth solid-state amp? P.S. Concur with the suggestions of also adding a tube pre-amp. Tube pre's and solid state power amps are generally a good combination -- took me to the next level when I added one to my "old" DNA1 Deluxe. You can also play with the tubes to signi... | |
| Help me find a smooth solid-state amp? Check out the Meitner MTR-101 MkII monoblocks. These can be had used within (or less than) the price ranges of many of the better recommendations here. These will drive almost any speaker, have deep bass and are smooooooooth. I like higher powered... | |
| what's the most vital cable in a system? Gemini, try Monarchy's solid teflon core digital cable with your DIP. If you don't like it you can retrun it with no problem. I'm running it both from my transport to the DIP and DIP to my DAC (BNC outlet with adapter). I was really surprised at h... | |
| Shopping CD players: my big adventure LR, I agree with you and have been "holding off" to see how SACD develops in terms of products and titles. If it's going to blow up soon, CES will be the barometer. I have been wanting to add a second Resolution Quantum DAC (to run in dual mono) a... | |
| Best Turntable at $1,500? Please Advise. Hey, David. I suggested that Outlier take a listen to two new tables in his price range that weren't mentioned. The Regas are OK and I think the RB300 is a good sounding arm for what it is. I happen to think that having to adjust VTA with spacers ... | |
| Best Turntable at $1,500? Please Advise. If you decide to buy new, check out the Basis 1400 which is in your price range. Basis has modified the big problem with the RB 300 arm (which is no VTA adjustment) through a modified design. This is a problem that I can't believe is overlooked so... | |
| Greatest Guitar Band Sfbaydude, we are fortunate in more ways that one (like to be here with most of our senses and function intact). Speaking of the day, I remember FREE concerts in Speedway Meadows at Golden Gate Park that were amazinh then and even more amazing now... |
