| Nagra VPA 845 tubes on Wilson Audio Sopias.. they work very well with the Sophia 1 and 2's and I suspect they will do the same on the 3's! A big step up from the Quad II's.şerefe,Ken | |
| TRIP TO TORONTO. WHAT TO DO... Hola Daniel,You ask many broad questions but quite similar ones that would come to my mind were I visiting somewhere. As your son is probably living near U of T, he will be able to direct you to the numerous book and record stores as well as many ... | |
| Magnifyer with Light Suggestions? I'd want both hands free for setting up a cartridge! I've been using Optivisor loupes for years. There is an optional LED attachment that mounts on the lens to provide lighting.https://www.delasco.com/pcat/3/Self-Help_Products/VisorLightP/6010P/ | |
| Audiophiles are older than dirt A lot of those items are from the 1950's...a time of innocence, optimism, growth and good old-fashioned values that seem to have been lost along the way. Even though I was only born in that decade, I thank you for the memories. | |
| Any stellar performances of Irish music... Check out Mary Coughlan. Her first album, "Tired and Emotional" is particularly good. Not sure if it's still in print. | |

| Help -- need Idiot's Guide to music server system How long does it take to copy and categorize 1000 CD's to a hard drive? Many years ago I tried to scan 35mm photo slides into the computer and gave up because it was so tedious. Are there any tips for doing this efficiently? | |

| Why so expensive?? A large part of what you pay for at this end of the price spectrum is the creative vision and artistic execution of the designer or manufacturer. How much do you think it cost Jackson Pollock to splatter paint on a canvas? Whether the cost is just... | |
| Turntables from 1-10: Personality 8.5 Beauty 12 For understated elegance you can't beat the Clearaudio Ambient. http://www.musicalsurroundings.com/ca_ambient.htmlSlap a Rega on it and you're good to go for around 4K. | |
| Reliability issue - Nagra VPA power not KR tube With respect to the original question, Nagra has been making bulletproof gear for a long time and I don't think the VPA is any exception...unless you mess with them. I found the KR 845's to sound exceptional. Subjectively more powerful, with a dar... | |
| Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 7 vs. Kharma 3.2 Sebastian has summarized the differences very nicely. Also listen to the Sophias; irregardless of their lower price, they combine some of the virtues of the 3.2 FE's with those of the WP7 and may be the most appropriate Wilson speaker to compare s... | |
