| Best power amp for Avalon Opus Ceramique Woops I feel like a complete idiot! I just saw Ceramique and my mind filled in Kharma, rather than reading Avalon. Sorry about that, please disregard my meaningless suggestion! | |
| Amp Stands? It's called resonance control and it's definitely not snakeoil. Resonance control is important in many different scientific fields, for example the popular Vibra-Plane platform was I believe originally designed to support electron microscopes, muc... | |
| Best power amp for Avalon Opus Ceramique If you want to use an ICE power amp why not just use Kharma's own monoblocs? I'm pretty sure they're digital and you would think they'd be designed to match, right? Happy listening!! | |
| Best speakers under $3K for tube amps, I'm running a pair of original JMlabs Micro-Utopias on 24 watts of EL-34 power and couldn't be happier. The sound is big and room filling, albeit a smallish room, and as detailed and transparent as anyone could want. They can usually be found used... | |
| CD Player Suggestions w/ HDCD for McIntosh System? Try a Cary 303/200, a great sounding player with HDCD and upsampling. Plus it has balanced outputs if your preamp has an appropriate input. Happy listening!! | |
| Shaft Style Car Radio Wow a Rolls Royce!!! Sorry I can't help you, but what model Rolls and can you perhaps post a picture? If you can't tell I'm jealous and drooling!! | |

| Can any body help me to get a tube position map Also try and track down Tom Tutay in Florida. He's the east coast service center for Air Tight and could tell you. Do a search of his name here and AA and you can probably find a phone number. Good luck! | |
| Help First Audiophile system I would suggest putting yourself in the hands of a good dealer to start with and then down the road as your personal knowledge increases you can supplement our system with some used purchases. As most of us here have discovered it's better to spen... | |
| Bill Evans The Village Vanguard Sessions I own it on cd, it's a JVC K2 and it sounds fantastic, though I'm sure the vinyl sounds better. Check out the K2 if you want a great cd, it's the exact same mastering as the XRCD's but at regular cd prices. Happy listening! | |
| I have tweak phobia ?? That's A. Nervosa, very common and no known cure other than a Bose Wave Radio and a padded room. | |
| PMC Speakers:"Best Buy"or just another speaker? They've been getting some very good reviews lately, I think there was a recent rave in Positive Feedback Online and I'm sure HiFi+ has reveiwed them positively as well. I've never had a chance to hear them though. As said above, listen and let us ... | |
| member system photos??? Try living in a 900sf condo with a girlfriend who's big into interior design. My system is as well as possible given the decorating restraints, and it sounds pretty good to me. | |
