| JansZen Electrostatics--Model 65--Any Info? These are Electrostatic Tweeter modules similar to the 1-30 units that my dad has.. Im not sure of the dates of production on the 65's..I know the model 1-30's were put in production in the early to mid 50's and ran in production into the early 70... | |
| Harshness in Midrange??? Any Help Normally i would address the room first and foremost..But IMHO its the ARC Ls-16 and low cost Kimber's not doing you any favors. This is a very neutral, but near sterile sounding pre amp. Your 802D's are very good paired with the right amp..Not br... | |
| Stand out phono stages I have heard my buddy's Sutherland PHD, battery powered phono pre amp and was very favorably impressed. Its one of the quietest phono pre's avail, and that makes a very big difference IMO. If I wasn't keeping my CJ PV-5, which has a superb phono i... | |
| Shout out for Better Records I second Viridian...my "hot stamper" cost dearly, sounded crappy and was warpped to boot..Ill buy my lp's elsewhere. | |
| Canadian Pressings. I have a few Warner Bros.and Geffin Canadian Pressings which are excellent and are a bit better quality pressings and sonically superior to the LA, Calf. Studio pressings IMO. The record shops whom I deal with for used vinyl seem to like them as w... | |
| Which Steely Dan Aja lp to buy? I looked up any posts on the re-mastering of Aja and found this thread. I have to agree with all here...I just got the re re-mastered Aja and am very unimpressed compared to the ABC 1977 orig. mastered by Bernie G.If you have the orig. kids..that'... | |

| What CD Player can top this Bob, With Jaybo...Keep the CAL. It beats up on my Audio Aero Prima MkIII. Had to sell that thing. Many 24/192 players just have no soul. | |
| Moving the beloved gear Hi Peter,So long as you must move it and it sounds like a big move..I would definitely box everything in its orig. box for safe moving and possible storage until you know where and when you will set up your system. Trust me..Ive been there too and... | |

| CD Player: "Love at First Listen" recommendation CAL Icon player for me in 1989. Suddenly I realized that my CD's were actually pretty good! | |
| Anybody tube rolled 845's? If you go with the Chinese tubes..I recommend the Shuguang 845B. Its warmer than the metal plates (845C) and about 90% of their transparency IMO, and less expensive. A very good sounding tube. I agree with Nickt in that they are good enough to lis... | |
| A question I suspect reveals a lot of ignorance... I believe that when a tube amp is at idle, it draws full rated power/current. Increasing volume doesn't draw more than its rated power...however, it can drive the amp to clipping, which can be detrimental to the life of the tubes..especially tubes... | |
| What's the limit for cart upgrade/VPI Scout? I will agree with all of the above for sure. But, I will also say this...If you look one step up from the Dorian at the Argo i, you will upgrade your rig considerably without doing anything else, and for not a huge investment more. The Argo i is s... | |

I found they worked very well.I also use their SC-5 speaker cables from the 2105. Excellent performance for not alot of $$$.My Dad is currently using the IC-3 from hi... |
