| Acarian Systems Black Orpheus Speaker Cable I use them on Alon Lotus SE's and find them to be excellent. I also don't have a problem with zippy highs. If you need a tri-wire cable these are a no-brainer. A comparable tri-wire from a "cable manufacturer" would be dramatically more expensive. | |
| Recommend speakers for a strange move Pick up a pair of used Sonus Faber Grand Pianos. They are fantastic sounding speakers with tremendous WAF. They are on the small side and very elegant looking. Highly recommended. My girlfriend was ready to kill me when I traded them but I had to ... | |
| plinius pre with ayre amps? I'd say go fot it. Ayre amps are pretty easy to find used here, and you occasionally see Plinius M16's. Give it a shot and report back. If you don't like it you can always sell the used components for what you paid and move on. That's one of the b... | |
| Point to Point Wiring Some are, my Air Tight pre and power amps are both point to point wired. | |
| 5 best underrated or unknown bands and why? Asylum Street Spankers--they are fabulous! | |
| Best acoustic -natural instruments CD's I second David Grisman's Acoustic Disc label. Many fabulous recordings with equally fabulous sound. | |
| Any fellow 'Heads out there? Mmdecapo,I think it is an absolute travesty and a bald faced attempt to grab more $$ that they have changed their name to the "Dead". For that reason I will never go see them. I find it deeply offensive and know many that feel the same way. | |
| We all want to change the world. Really? As a favorite band of mine used to say, "One way or another, this darkness got to give". Keep the faith brother, I think all things are cyclical, including global politics. | |
| Preamp or CD Player for Best Sonic Improvement I would say option 1. I found the most significant improvement in my system came when I added a tube preamp. It really gives the sound life and fleshes it out. Also the Mac is a better long term investment, buy it now and by the time you can affor... | |
| CD and/or LP collections. Is it about the music? About 400 cd's and 50 lp's. CDR's have changed me too as I've digitized all of my cassette tape bootlegs, greatly increasing my cd total. | |
| I just sold my cd player what should i get? Rwwear,I may be wrong, but I do believe that a Linn LP12 is a record player! | |
| what speakers for 40 watt triode? If your budget can stretch look for a used pair of Alon Lotus SE, with a 14 ohm woofer and 90db sensitivity these sing with my 36 watt Air Tight amp. They play as loud as you might want and the bass goes to about 38hz. You'll probably pay 1800-200... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Mghcanuck,I hope for your sake you get to taste some of those bottles, Y'quem is about as good as it gets. I personally find foie gras and Sauternes to be just a little too rich for my tastes but I know many people like it. I prefer salty with swe... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Cpdunn99,Any good Sauternes will benefit from about 10 years of bottle age. Sugar and alcohol combine to make them relatively indestructable. | |
| Where can I get quality cassettes. Go to Terrapin Tapes, www.ttapes.com. Excellent customer service and good prices. |
