| Gold interconnect comparison help I'm just enjoying my first listen with the GG Rapture (thanks Gary), and I agree with Glory completely, it is in an entirely different league than the GG Revelation. By far Steve's best effort to date, and a fabulous cable.Later this week I will d... | |
| Does a Postal Money order need to "clear"? MO's still present a risk, so yes, there should be a waiting period for it to clear. However, I will usually ship the next day to a AudiogoN member in good standing.Cheers,John | |
| System advice I would sell the Anthem amp and preamp, and look for a VAC Avatar Super integrated amp.Good luck,John | |

| Rarest Brands for Sale on 'Gon 06-06-08: Joeylawn36111How about Madrigal? You see ML and some Cello....FWIW, Madrigal never put their name on any product, AFAIK. They represented ML and Proceed for a few years as a distributor, but sold out to Harmon International. I know of no... | |
| tube pre amp with tube / SS /hybrid power amp ? Thanks for the reply Chad, I was just curious as to if there was any synergy between the Ref 3 and the HD220. I'm sure the Aesthetix Atlas is a great amp. I own the ARC Ref 3 and have heard it with tube and SS amps (I prefer tube), but I haven't h... | |
| tube pre amp with tube / SS /hybrid power amp ? That 10X's impedence matching rule is VERY conservative, IMHO. Most of the credit for the 10X rule goes to Victor Khemenko of BAT. However, others, like ARC, recommend at least 30X. From my experiences, the higher levels are much, much better. Yes... | |
| When did you know that music was your passion? I was 6 years old in 1966 when my older sister played 96 Tears by Question Mark and the Mysterians on her record player, I was hooked.A year or so later, she won a copy of Cream's Disraeli Gears as a door prize at a dance. She played it once on he... | |

| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? 06-01-08: PaulfolbrechtWhen I got into audio, I cut back on my excessive drinking, hard drug use, gambling, womanizing, reckless driving, and pee-ing all over the toilet. It was a pretty good trade-off all in all to her.Heck, I can't give up all t... | |

| State of the art speakers from yesteryear. Apogee Diva's. | |
| Aesthetix Calypso VS ARC Reference 3 05-28-08: Jafox The Callisto was way beyond twice as good as the Calypso because of the Callisto's ability to portray space, body of instruments and to carry the sound far beyond the edges of the speakers. I guess it all depends on opinions of wha... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso VS ARC Reference 3 I have heard both, and I own the ARC Ref 3. The Calypso is a very good preamp, and a great bargain for the price. IMHO the ARC Ref 3 betters it in a couple of ways. The biggest is in quietness. The Ref 3 is one of the quietest preamps I've ever he... | |
| Pre for VAC Auricle Musicbloc 70/70 Does the Dodd have a free trial period like the Audio Horizons preamp? |
