| A Dios Fatparrot Condolences to the Wolff family and all of Mike's friends. Though I never knew him well he was always a welcome presence on this site and will be missed. A sad note on a day of thankfulness. | |
| About synergy? I have to say that to me synergy may be rather hard to quantify. For example, I have a Deja Vu Audio amp that I love. A while back I managed to pick up a used Deja Vu audio preamp at a great price and when I added it to my system the sound improve... | |
| Vampire Wire circa 1983 I used to have some Vampire interconnects years ago when I was starting out down this road and as Xti6 implies Vampire makes and made some very good "beginner" cables. Why just offer them on here at a very nominal fee or give them to a budding aud... | |
| VH1 Story Tellers I've got it and I agree a very nice album. In the same vein Austin City Limits has released some live cd's from performances on their tv show. I have releases from Dave Alvin, Guy Clark, and John Hiatt and they are all excellent examples of "alt-c... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? I never updated my last response, as of 3.5 years ago I drive a 2003 VW Passat. Great car and super reliable. | |
| Best John Mayer Album Dreadhead I've been to 65 Dead shows and felt that way about Phish back in 1989. I then caught a few Phish shows and was hooked. I've seen about 30 shows since. You should really give them a shot, particularly live stuff from 1990-1996. They are a... | |
| Canary CA160 Tube Cages Why not try one of the clear plastic covers for turntables or other gear? There are some advertised here all the time, I'm pretty sure Gingko (sp?) makes them, though others may as well. Good luck! | |
| Sunday morning music...what's spinning? Whiskeytown, Taj Mahal, Gil Evans, Ben Webster. | |
| Best John Mayer Album The live album Try! from a few years back. Truly an awesome album. Happy listening. | |
| What components are manufactured in the U.S.A.? I'm pretty positive Herron Audio products are built in the US. | |
| Amps-Cables for Focal 1007 BE JMlabs are quite easy to drive and love tubes. Tubes should help tame any glare and brightness. I am currently running a pair of original Micro-Utopias with a 24 watt tube amp and they sound fantastic. A quality tube amp from 10-50 watts should be... | |
| Tube technology Fusion Cd64 any good? I own one and love it. I haven't compared it to any of the players you list, but in my system in easily outperformed a Cary 303/200, and a Copland 289. It is incredibly organic and lifelike in it's sound, with first class imaging, a really refined... | |
| Coda Still Alive?? Ferrari,I just went on the Coda website with no problems at all. Give it another try, or maybe it's a browser issue? | |
| Golden Tube SE 40 Hiss and Pop problem - Thoughts? It absolutely sounds like a failing tube. Either do as Newbee has suggested or drop in replacements if you have them. It's always a good idea with a tube amp to have a set of backup output tubes around, since tubes always seem to go bad on weekend... | |
| tube power amp for my thiels cs6 speakers As already mentioned the higher powered VTL's are a good choice also consider conrad-johnson, used Premier 12's or P 8's would work well. Their current models would work also but might not fit your budget. Good luck and happy listening! |
