| Meridian 508.24 or BAT VK 5i? I would second John's response. In general I think that the preamp makes the greatest difference in any system and a tubed preamp is the way to go. Get the BAT, great sounding preamp and from what I hear a great company. Then, when funds permit, a... | |
| I need a live great recording I fourth, or is it fifth the Bill Evans. I have the K2 remastered cd and it's fabulous. I would give a slight edge to Sunday over Waltz for Debbie but they're both great. Also many of the Dick's Pick's series of live Dead shows are outstanding if ... | |
| The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now Cutodian,Unfortunatley Ch. Musar is quite expensive in the States, retailing for about $40 a bottle. Excellent wine though I agree. For something a bit cheaper they have a second lable called Hochar Pere et Fils that's about $19 a deselection of t... | |
| Audio House Slappy, all I can say is if you can get all your criteria for $250,000 you're doing quite well. Here is DC that same criteria would be more like 4-500,000. So I'm content to compromise on things and live with my stereo, my girlfriend, and her cat ... | |
| Mark. Levinson New Pre-amp My apologies, I misread. However I still see reference to the No. 38 series, perhaps it will be in between 38 and 32. | |
| Mark. Levinson New Pre-amp That is actually an update of a current product, the No. 32 Reference preamp. It sits above the No. 38 series, so I would imagine that would continue. | |
| Personal Preamp Evolution Not much here,Bryston B-60 used as a preamp>Air Tight ATC-1 current referenceNext, who knows? | |
| Wanna know how noisy your AC is ? Sean,Please count me in as well and thank you for your extreme altruism. I'm something of a techno-dope, so I'll need very detailed instructions. Also, if you're a wine drinker I'd love to send you a couple of good bottles by way of thanks, as I'm... | |
| Johnny Cash - Rest in Peace Johnny Cash was probably the most identifiable voice of American music of the last 100 years. To lose him is a brutal blow, but fortunately he recorded an immense body of work that will live on forever. RIP Man In Black, you'll be sorely missed. | |
| Be careful what you wish for ...an upgrade that... Samuelg,That's excellent news! Air Tight gear is fantastic and I think you'll be a happy owner until the upgrade bug hits again. Sometimes all you need is a little patience. | |
| Be careful what you wish for ...an upgrade that... Hi,I'm very sorry to hear about your difficulties. I currently own the ATC-1 and used to own an ATM-1 power amp and think that they are fabulous sounding components. The first thing that springs to mind in your case is maybe borrowing more efficie... | |
| Aesthetix Rhea vs. Io Signature The latest issue of Stereophile has a review of the Rhea in which the author takes quite a bit of time comparing it to the Io. I think it was written by Paul Bolin, check it out. | |
| Gryphon gets no press, but is great. FWIW, the Gryphon Sonata Allegro Preamp got a great review in a recent issue of HiFi+. I know that doesn't qualify as a US publication, but it's better than any of them and is slowly gaining ground. As to your question, having never heard a Grypho... | |
| K2 remasters? Bomarc,Thanks for that link! They differentiate the remasters and they're cheaper then the local record store. I'll be ordering plenty more, thanks! | |
| Do you own the last amp you'll ever buy? My girlfriend sure hopes so! ;-) |
