I sold the jr and bought a Nottingham Space De... | |

| SME Model 10 How much should I spend on speakers? If I were in your shoes I'd do the speakers first as this will help dictate on which kind of amp to purchase, wheather being tubes or solid state.

| Taylo Reference III's - how are these? Aggie, I don't think the Ref III need a sub, they do the bottom end very well. I do find the Ref III like a bit of power though. I agree with you that there great for Jazz and rock. | |
| Taylo Reference III's - how are these? Pard, I listen to 60-70s rock, Blues and jazz, the Ref III do great at all that I throw at them. If you go to my system you can see what components and wire I have paired with the Tylers. Should be great visiting Ty and listening to all his speakers. | |
| what conditioner to use with tubes If your happy with the p-300 on the digital, maybe pick up a used p-600 or p-500, you can sell the p-300 to help finance the larger power plant. I use a p-500 with a tube preamp, tube D/A, tube phono stage, transport, tuner and xm tuner. I use app... | |
| Taylo Reference III's - how are these? I have the Ref III and really enjoy them, I get a nice large stage with good depth, they are for the most part invisable in my room, something I look for in a speaker. Bass is tight and punchy and no way bloated, mids are lush and natural sounding... | |

| Green Mountain Audio Europa Max Vs. Tyler Taylo Re After looking at pictures of your room and the current position of your speakers I think part of your problem is your speaker placement. Get them out from the corners and face them so they fire towards the back of your room with no toe in, listen ... | |
| Stupid Question-What's the best way to choose? Work on getting your new components broke in, also speaker placement and room acoustics play a much larger role in quality of sound, maybe the most important IMHO. I would take your time with this one. You need to read up on room treatments, get e... | |
| Availability of cheap vinyl in SF? Agree with above post, Amoeba in Berkely and San Fran is great, Rasputin in Berkely also good but the Rasputin in San Fran is not so good. Streetlight can also have some good stuff but stock is small. The Analog room in San Jose is also good, stoc... | |
