| How do they do it???????????? I shipped Meadowlark Blue Heron 2's in original heavy duty wooden crates, from Northern California to Vancouver, British Columbia. Customs did open them and in the process damaged a very expensive tweeter. The Audiogon buyer in Vancouver was brush... | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? Henryhk: I'm driving Genesis 501's with my VAC PHI Beta. Plenty of power to spare. The Genesis are tunable to the room with built in equalizers- and I find that invaluable. The Vac makes me smile everytime I play music. About 50% SACD's and 50% vi... | |
| What Digital Stylus Force Gauge Do You Like? Rushton: Thanks so much for the walkeraudio link--very clear and helpful as I continue to dial in my Transfiguration Temper Supreme with my Graham 2.2 arm and RPM 2 table. Joe | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? I have about 200 hours on my VAC PHI Beta integrated (sells for 19000.) It is simply the finest sound I have had in my system. I have had separates until now, including Macintosh, Pass Labs, Plinius, Aesthetix, and a few others. Coherent sound fro... | |
| 2005 Remembrance Not a good year for bass players: we lost Ray Brown and Nils Henning Orsted Pedersen: Two very different, but influential jazz players of the highest order. | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? After lots of experimenting I've landed on the Berning ZOTL. Nothing else came close, and when I rolled tubes it got even better. Enjoy.Joe | |
| Don't let this happen to you Honest1, your post reminds me of the special energy that can happen when listening to jazz, live in a small club with an uninhibited audience. The synergy between the crowd and the soloists can take it to another level--with applause, shouts, and ... | |
| Anyone Tried Raymond Cables?? I had them build a 15' 20amp power cable: quality materials, well-built, and excellent sound--especially for the price. Certainly worth a try IMHO.Joe | |
| powercord for Plinius SA-250 When I had my Plinius SA120, I experimented with several cords and got best results with Acoustic Zen Krakatoa and Tsunami. Good luck!Joe | |
| Info on David Brinkley amps/preamps? Try David Berning. Probably what you're looking for.Good luck,Joe | |
| FIY, one of best Bass Test Discs And while your at it, give a listen to Tony Levin's (King Crimson, Peter Gabriel) solo disks. Also Michael Manring (Windham Hill bassist extraordinaire) is a very musical virtuosic bassist with some wonderful recordings. As a bass player myself I ... | |
| Phono stage upgrade Graham Slee Era Gold Mark V: especially good synergy with Hadcock arm and Music Maker cartridge. | |
| McIntosh MC-501s; balanced and unbalanced preamps; I started with 402's and moved up to 501's and was pleased with the improvement. Preamp was Mcintosh C2200 with Mullard NOS tubes from Upscale. Very musical, lots of detail, and very non-fatiguing. And incredibly user-friendly. I made the mistake ... | |
| What is your idea of a Perfect Album? Peter Gabriel--"SO" | |
| McIntosh C-2200 or C-46 with MC-402??? The combination of C2200 (tubes rolled to Mullards) and MC402 (now replaced with MC501 monoblocs) provides exactly the combination of warmth and detail that I've been looking for. This is an example of Mcintosh synergy that makes music happen--in ... |
