| PRIMA LUNA AMPLIFIERS Why not check out some great American or European made equipment there’s lots of fantastic choices. | |
| Best divorce album? Elton John Someone saved my life tonight. | |
| Looking for a speaker cable with a relaxed sound. Another happy Canare 4s11 user at $1.28 per ft from Redco what can you loose. | |
| purchasing US made speakers Now that we've thoroughly confused you with many recommendations any thoughts on what you are leaning toward? | |
| Ry Cooder & V.M. Bhatt - A Meeting By The River IS AMAZING! I agree it is an amazing recording the CD sounds great too. Hope someone releases a more reasonable lp version till then I'm very happy with the CD | |
| Focal 1028BE2's or Tekton Moab Towers Any poorly recorded music will sound that way on even the best speakers a speaker that masks this just isn't that good. | |
| Final Report, Canare 4S11 Speaker Cable I replaced 8 guage Knukonceptz, monter cable prior to that and also some silver coated copper, one of my buddies brought over. | |
| Rebuild or new cartridge with my zeta tonearm If you were happy with the sound of your Sumiko go for the rebuild it should sound as good if not better than new.I had my Sumiko BPS Evo 3 rebuilt and was very happy with the results | |
| Reliability of brand If you decide to go integrated check the Parasound Halo it really pairs well with Maggie 1.7 speakers. I ran mine that way and it was amazing sounding.It also offers just about everything you need. The older model should be available for under $15... | |
| Thoughts on Peachtree Audio Nova300 I'm surprised no one has mentioned Parasound Halo their integrated is terrific and should have enough power and current to satisfy. You should be able to find the prior model used in the $1500 or less range | |
| What/who do you listen to that you feel is a bit of an unknown? Rory Gallagher just received my 3 CD set Blues forget Clapton forget Stevie this set is it 1 CD acoustic, 1CD electric and 1 live all played incredibly. This is a bargain under $20 the mastering and mix put you there a must for all blues lovers. | |
| Primaluna EVO 400 vs. stock Cary SLP-05 preamp? I haven't heard either but reading the web pages I would stick with what you have if you're happy, I imagine the upgrade will even deliver more and it's made in the USA. | |
| Good entry level cables Canare 4s11 amazing sounding cable for only $1.28 per ft at Redco. I don't think you'll do better at many times the price. | |
| purchasing US made speakers Have you thought of Magnepan I'm an older guy too and they sound wonderful to me. The 3.7i should be great with your 2 subs. | |
| The best "imaging" speakers? If you have the room and the money it's hard to beat the newest Magnepan 30.7 you are there. |
