| Stopped looking for the best system Dayglow, I did not offer the 4 armed turntable as a solution, only evidence as to just how critical the recording is. So many get stuck looking for the perfect component or cable, and it just isn't out there.Obviously power conditioning is an impo... | |
| Stopped looking for the best system I think that it is impossible to assemble one system that will sound great on all recordings. I have developed this theory over several decades. I feel that the "problem" is in the recordings themselves. Their sonic signatures vary from recording ... | |
| Best cartridge for VPI Scoutmaster Signature I'm also running a Dynavector XX-2 mk II with my Scoutmaster with very good results. Dynavector and Lyra always seem to get the most recommendations with VPI tables. | |
| Condition of speakers Ebm....please try to keep your replies shorter. ;^) | |
| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? 03-18-14: Charles1dadJmgrogan2,You have your priorities in order and I happen to agree with your conclusion(while the music is playing). For the record my DHT tubed line stage is silent. Charles, Thank you Charles. For the record, the hiss I heard... | |
| Wire differences explained common sense Viridian, that is exactly how I have come up with my conclusions on silver conductors versus copper conductors. I have heard silver and copper offerings from the same company, like Kimber, Audioquest, Acoustic Zen, Ridge Street Audio Design. Grant... | |

I usually mute the preamp while changing sides on an LP. So I had to unmute it and put my ear r... | |
| Ayre V-5xe Vs. Pass Labs x150.5 I would expect the Ayre to sound more articulate and revealing, while the Pass Labs will sound fuller and more musical. Both amps are built very well. | |
| Glaring Omissions Oh Man....The Complete Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington is one of my all time favorite recordings! | |
| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? I've owned many very quiet tube preamps. Are you hearing tube noise with the volume knob set at regular listening levels in between CDs/LPs? Or are you turning the volume all the way up with no music playing to see if you can hear any noise? I fin... | |
| Wire differences explained common sense Interesting....the fact that some feel there is no difference between silver and copper. I definitely agree that there is a difference, though I prefer copper to silver in general. I have owned speakers and electronics which worked better with sil... | |

| Help me find WARM speakers a la Sonus Faber I agree with those that say to find a way to make the Olympica's work. It sounds like you really love them, and anything else will only leave you unfulfilled. Do your homework, talk to dealer's and distributors, look for demo's for sale, or used. ... | |

| Tube amp power watts equivalent to Solid State? LOL! You're kidding right? What is heavier....10 pounds of cotton or 10 pounds of gold? |
