| Sonic Tonic fom the Tweek Geek I also learned that the process of evaluating the effect of crystals is a difficult process. This is why I also think that Crystal based products get a bad rap sometimes. Their effect takes time to develop, sometimes a few days to stabilize. Rem... | |
| Incredible deal on incredible amp Wow! You really lowered the price quite a bit too. I first saw it when you had it listed for $8,999. Now $3K less, that’s a steal.I know that amp puts out a LOT of heat though, as I’ve owned a BAT VK-75SE previously. Unfortunately, I don’t have th... | |
| Incredible deal on incredible amp It's been a buyer's market for over two years now, and summertime is not the best time to sell anyway.I've looked at your amp, and it does seem like a good deal. 5 years ago I probably would have made a run at it. Today, it means that I would have... | |

| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? We are all simply dogs chasing our own tails here on this thread.Nothing ever changes, believers will believe,non-believers will continue to non-believe. Wire threads today are no different than 18 years ago.Skeptics and believers, no one ever cha... | |

| Silly prices for Nordost cables I am not a fan of Nordost, but in their defense, they are not doing anything different from all of the other audio manufacturers.Just look at most other high end audio companies, electronics, speakers, cables, etc. Everyone's top of the line produ... | |
| Preamp w/ a budget of $2000 He also asked for a phono section, remote and pre out Yeah, that last one had me scratching my head a little.Does anyone even make a preamp without a pre out???? | |
| Preamp w/ a budget of $2000 I am a little confused about all of these recommendations for CJ preamps. I have owned a couple of older ones, and I would not define the sound as "clinical" at all. More like warm and musical, the opposite of what the OP is looking for.So either ... | |
| Sonic Tonic fom the Tweek Geek If the stuff is anything like the Tweek of the 1980/90’s, careful on tube pins. Tweek was conductive, and if any was dripped between pins on tube sockets, shorting could result. @bdp24 , the bottle will not fit on tube pins.Look at the instruc... | |

| $35K to spend, how will you build a system? It seems immensely popular in Europe to go with integrated amps. Gryphon, Ayon, GamuT, etc., all make feature rich INTs. . Integrateds are popular in the USA too, as Pass Labs, VAC, ARC, Ayre, BAT, Boulder, D'Agostino, Rowland, and many more... | |
| Atma-Sphere MP1 with single-ended inputs and outputs? Adapters OK? It's easy to turn the VPI Classic into a balanced output, just change out the junction box to XLR's.http://www.elusivedisc.com/VPI-JMW-XLR-Junction-Box-With-Standard-VPI-Wire/productinfo/VPI-D1027/The Atma-Sphere MP1 preamp will work well with a... | |
| Can somebody explain the XLO scale to me? Hey Jerry, I tried them a long time ago, maybe in the early/mid 90's sometime.Back when they were made in the USA, and Roger Skoff was still running the company.Decent cables, similar to Tara Labs in that both are made of copper, but have the spee... |
