| How important is bass to you? This prompted me to run some Bass test tones through my system, JMlabs original Micro-Utopia and suffice it to say I was pleasantly surprised to hear usable output into the upper 30's. No wonder I don't feel like I'm missing much with my speakers ... | |
| What is your favourite Coltrane album ? The Thelonius Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall that came out maybe 6-7 years ago is great and sounds fantastic. One Blue Note/EMI. | |
| Free $3K preamp to lucky listener who names it Speaking of Timbre, I have a Timbre TT-1 Dac back in the day, nice piece of gear and pretty cool looking for its time. | |
| Audio stores in N. Virginia? Let me be the fourth to recommend Deja Vu! Incredible store if you like tubes and analog. I have one of their amps and preamps and couldn't be happier. And welcome to the area, DCer here. | |
| Free $3K preamp to lucky listener who names it Rcprince I had Blues also guessing a lot of folks did. Also went with Tempo but can't remember my 3rd entry. But Rhumba? No account for taste I guess lol. | |

| Your favorite recent discovery Leon Bridges "Coming Home" | |
| The missing piece For me definitely my Deja Vu Audio El-34 PP tube amp, especially after getting it recapped with NOS Aerovox caps. Another piece I love and can't see ever parting with is my Yamamoto YDA-1 Dac just a superbly musical piece. | |
| Primaluna Prologue 4 tube upgrades I'm an EL-34 fan myself, and own an EL-34 only amp, and I would say check out the Gold Lion KT-77 this EL-34 variant to me was a huge upgrade in my amp over the likes of JJ, EH, etc. A very worthwhile upgrade and inexpensive as tubes go. This will... | |
| ATC P1 amplifier I have to agree with George that's an extremely long cable run, particularly for a single ended interconnect. Definitely try a shorter cable. Something else to consider your driving a high sensitivity speaker with very benign impedance that was de... | |
| giant killer xlr's Check out Cerious Technology as well, Robert's cables are really fantastic and great values. I haven't tried balanced cables, my setup is all single ended, but well worth checking out. Definitely beat AZ Silver Ref II in my setup. Happy listening! | |
| Micromega Mydac is a pain.. $2.80 great news glad it all worked out for you finally! Also thanks for the Windows10 info, I got it about a month ago and didn't know about the privacy issues just went through all the steps in the Slate article. Much obliged! | |
| High End Speaker Prices This article misses a huge factor in high end speaker production, economies of scale, or lack thereof. It's infinitely more expensive to make one or ten or 100 of something than it is to mass produce it. Most speakers north of say $20K are made in... | |
| Advice on New Integrated Amplifier Elevick doesn't Music Hall import Creek? It's possible even likely that both your amp and the OP's were built by Creek. | |
| Classic Rock Quiz I got 60% which is 12 and I swear the only question I didn't guess at was Jim Morrison's indecent exposure arrest. |
