| OTL Tube Amps-- are they superior to everything? The truth is that the amps and speakers must perform together as a "unit". I would generalize to say that if your speakers drop below 8 ohms anywhere you will miss out on something sonically with almost any OTL amp. Several years ago I had Martin-... | |
| Hi end audio who cares To these people I draw an analogy between our "hobby" and wine...while I can appreciate in a limited way the difference between a modest table wine and something better, I would never spend over $30 on a bottle of wine. But show me some shiny tung... | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? Apogee Duettas. In the mid-80's I heard these at a Denver dealer, Listen Up, with the at the time requisite Krell KMA 100's and a CD source. The room was long with the speakers up on an elevated platform; subdued lighting with the speaklers gently... | |
| Recommendation for guitar duo CD Try Charlie Byrd and Laurindo Almeida "Tango" and "Latin Odyssey" both on Concord. Mine are on LP but I suspect they are available on CD as well. Excellent sound! | |
| "head" amps?? Thanks to all for the input. Tjbearman, I am familiar with Arthur's recommendations having bought my first "serious" turntable from him in the late seventies. Unfortunately most of the units on his list are not readily available. At this point, th... | |

| The most musical system you ever build? Around 15 years ago I put together a system culled fromleftovers from other systems. Not terribly accurate orextended at either frequency extreme but musical in the waythat would have you tapping your toes in the room next door.Quad II amps and or... | |
| interconnect help Thanks for the responses. I've had no functional issues with the Cardas 300B which is a relatively high capacitance cable; no noise/RFI with this run single-ended (even though the Rowland only takes an XLR input). How would a lower capacitance cab... | |

| Need a "short list" of best Subwoofers for M.L.'s Get the Entec SW-1's that just came up for sale today.You will not regret it. I have no affiliation with theseller but I did own various iterations of these before. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Hmmmm....Seems to be some common thinking here, my current "ride" isa 01 BMW 540 wagon; I may be looking closely at the PorscheCayenne a year or so after it comes out. Ken | |
| JR Coherence one different that Coherence 2 ? Ulf, $2400 is about two times too much to be paying for aCoherence One Mk 2. The link in the above post refers tothe newer Coherence, a totally different and more expensivepiece than the Coherence One. Please check the JRDG websiteto confirm this. | |
| Am I assuming too Much? Artemus 5, I don't think that should be the assumption. Inthe old CD vs LP story I think the most important thing thatwill tip the balance towards analog is the quality andcondition of the LP recording. Secondly, even with a goodrecording, analog ... | |
