| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? I've had great success with RS Cables Illume`, a silver cable in teflon insulation terminated with Eichmann Silver Bullet Plugs. It's really a remarkably transparent, neutral cable and it retails for $149 with a money back gaurantee. It replaced a... | |
| Music you would like to turn someone on to. The Asylum Street Spankers. Easily the best band any of you have never heard of, try www.asylumstreetspankers.com. No affiliation, just a big fan. | |
| Moving from SS to tube system Lvb,I would have to say that my Cary 300b's are neutral and well-extended in the treble and not dull at all. It may of course be a relative thing, if you're used to bright and edgy solid state perhaps you might think the treble dull, but even then... | |
| Moving from SS to tube system What are your speakers? I have Cary 300B monos with Alon Lotus speakers and the combo is indeed magic as Ken has suggested above. The Cary's can be had for around $2K and I've seen the Alons for as low as $1500, which is a shame considering how go... | |
| Remembering Jerry Garebear, I knew that!, where "happy birthday" came from I have no idea! How embarassing. Anyway, hopefully you got the idea. The Grateful Dead were my major in college and so I owe Jerry a lot. 65 shows just wasn't enough. Peace. | |
| speaker for golden tube se-40 amp For just a bit more look for a used pair of Alon Lotuses. I've seen them in the $1200 range and they're awesome with low powered tube amps. Good luck! | |
| Remembering Jerry Right now listening to 8/7/82 Alpine Valley in rememberance. Happy birthday to the best guitarist of all time and peace to he and all. | |
| Blue Note RVG Editions remasters, sound better? Sorry if this isn't useful, but I can say that the RVG's sound great. I haven't really done any comparisons though, but you won't be dissapointed, especially with some of the discounting on them. | |
| Classe Mods Rather than modding your amp and destroying its' resale value, why not just sell in here and use the funds towards a new amp? Just my 2 cents, whichever route you go good luck. | |
| audio research or wife What is the fixer upper exactly? A house or something else? As far as the ants go, ARC usually drives me screaming from the room as well! ;-) Just kidding, I've actually never listened to any ARC gear, but congrats on the extermination! | |
| Wood Cones, JVC EX-A1 $550 Um Slappy? Are you saying you read Playboy for the articles? Ok then. | |
| Any superb balanced dacs up to $2,500 used?? Here'a a thought, this is an oldie but a goodie if you can come across one, a Timbre TT-1 Balanced Dac. It's balanced from input to output and is great sounding. I once owned one and regret selling it to this day. If you do find one it will be wel... | |
| Sim Audio Moon Air Tuner.....any experience? There is a very nice review on this tuner in a recent issue of HiFi+ magazine, I can't remember exactly which one but thier website is www.hifiplus.com and they sell back issues. For my money this is by far the best hifi mag on the market. | |
| Another Kind Of Blue Ozfly, it's my first experience with these musicians with the exception of Paquito Riviera. I'll be seeing what else they've done based on this.Chazro, 'sup with you? I'll pick up a copy of Miles Latino, thanks for the recommendation. If it's anyw... | |
| Wilson Benesch Arc Congratulations! W-B speakers really seem to fly a bit under the radar here. I think they look great and they always get good reviews. Keep us posted on your thoughts, I have a feeling you'll like the speakers more with each passing day. |
