| Help Inherited Sonus Faber Speakers Very nice speakers and great looking! My GF remembers them wistfully to this day and I sold mine 8 years ago. Give them a shot you might get hooked on good sound! Cool boss btw. | |
| R.I.P. Brent Rainwater a.k.a. What extremely sad news! I enjoyed Brainwater's posts over the years. This community will miss him and my heart goes out to his family. | |
| Soliloquy 6.3 amp? Thirded, these were designed to be used with low powered tube gear. I used to have a pair of the next model down, 5.2 maybe? Anyway super easy to drive I was using a C-J Premier 11a at the time. The good news is they are good speakers so when you ... | |
| Pathos Logos - Volume control problem Is this a new amp, or is it new to your friend? Could there be a unity gain input he is inadvertently using? | |
| Maxell or TDK? It was always Maxell for me back in the day, TDK's just did not seem as well constructed to me. | |
| It was 20 years ago today. . What was your system? I was just out of college and flat broke, so all I had was a crappy boombox. As soon as I really started making money, sadly nearly 8 years later, I immediately started assembling a good stereo. The rest, as they say, is history. | |
| Your top 3 worst purchases ever KR Audio Antares integrated, weighed a ton, used crazy expensive tubes and broke fairly quickly. And a Supratek Syrah, I read all the rave reviews and this thing showed up and it was a poorly built piece where obviously all the designer care about... | |
| Do you indulge when listening to your rig? Syntax do you dip the small slice of dry bread into the mineral water to soften it? | |
| Best sounding Hybrid Integrated in $2000 range I was loaned a Synthesis Audio Magnum integrated amp from Deja Vu Audio a few weeks back while my amp was in for service. It sounded great a nice balance of SS clarity with a touch of softness from the 6922 input stage. Nice looking too as all Ita... | |
| Tube vs. SS Dilemma Hey just to throw this out there as it sounds like you are having fun, have you tried pairing the Cary preamp with the Krell amp? Might be interesting to listen to, I am a firm believer in tubed preamps adding a lot to a system. | |
| What might cause loss of sound in one speaker? Do you have another source you can try? Most likely culprit is a bad tube but it's possible you lost a channel in your cartridge. At least with a cd player you can rule that in or out pretty quickly. | |
| Berkeley DAC Series 1, anything better 2.5K$ I have not hear the Berkeley Dac either but I recently bought a used Yamamoto Dac and I could not be more happy. The sound is great big and bold and colorful and alive. Great synergy with my all tube system. The one downside, which doesn't bother ... | |
| Humor In Music Definitely Loudon Wainright III, as well as David Bromberg. | |
| Anthonyn Cordesman on Edward Snowden Thanks Zenblaster I was trying to avoid picking a fight, but your thoughts certainly echo my own. | |
| Anthonyn Cordesman on Edward Snowden Please can we knock off the political commenary? Especially the knee jerk, mouth-foaming, "patriotic" variety? Thanks. |
