| Best Grateful Dead recording? Kevins,Go buy it! I'm right now listening to the slice from 4/28, Dark Star>St. Stephen>NFA>Goin' Down the Road>NFA, that St Stephen is in my opinion the best ever! | |
| Best Grateful Dead recording? Any recording from 1971-4, in my opinion and many others the absolute peak for the band. Many of these are available as Dick's Pick's as stated above. A personal favorite of mine is the recent release of a run of shows documenting the closing of t... | |
| Amp recommendation for Alon Circe? Great speakers! I have the Alon Lotus SE MKIII and I love them, they're the last speakers I think I'll own. They are quite a bit more efficient than the Circe's, I run them on Cary 300B monos at 12 watts per side. You can't get away with that, but... | |
| A personal challenge Way to go Jeff! My girlfriend quit last year and I know exactly how hard it can be. Addictions are brutal, I overcame one of my own recently that I'd rather not get into, but cigarettes are the worst addictive substance known to man. To beat somet... | |
| Krell ksa 100 shuts off It's probably dc offset from your preamp. I've heard of this happening with bat preamps and solid state amps. I'd contact bat and see what they suggest. Good luck! | |
| Mastercard A new cd burner. But that's only 'cause my old one died! | |
| What's the oldest piece of gear in your system? Wow,This is kind of embarassing, I guess it's my Rega Planar 3 which I've had for 3 1/2 years. But I'm pretty young and that's when I first got into this, prior to that I just had a proccesion of boom boxes. | |
| Hiss and Hum in a system newly put together Also, don't forget to chech the tubes on the Unison, sometimes tubes can sort of spit and squeak at the end of their lives or if they've become microphonic. As far as hum, the grounding ideas above sound good, cheater plugs are an inexpensive way ... | |
| The Listening Chair - What type do you use? Marco,That's a great site! Even my girlfriend liked it, thanks. | |
| Speaker match to Cary 300B-SEs Pat,Right now I'm running Valve Art 300B's in my Cary monos. They're nice tubes, but eventually I think I'll try some of the new meshplates. Good luck! | |
| Speaker match to Cary 300B-SEs If you can find them, Alon Lotus SE MKIII, that's what I'm running with my Cary 300B Mono's and it's a fabulous combo. Make sure it's the 14 ohm woofer version, specifically for SET amps. | |
| Which CD-R best for Audio? Mitsui. | |
| Thin label stickers for cd-r case sides? Thanks Elizabeth that's just what I was looking for! And don't worry, I'm labeling my Dead bootlegs I just recorded from tape to cd-r. | |

| Amazing XRCD I just purchased.... Has anyone compared XRCD's with the corresponding K2 remaster and if so was there any difference? I have a bunch of k2's and love 'em, but I've never listened to a XRCD so any opinions would be appreciated. |
