| Good partner amp for Egglestonworks Anda II Other amps that I would recommend would be:VTL MB-450 Signature monoblocks, if you like tube amps. These are very powerful, (450 wpc tetrode/200 wpc triod), tube amps, that sound very good. (They were what my one friend had immediately before upgr... | |
| Good partner amp for Egglestonworks Anda II As a fellow Andra II owner, I offer you my congratulations on buying an excellent set of speakers. I have lived with mine for about 18 months now, and I still love them! I have never tried any of the "monster" amps, but I can tell you what I am us... | |
| Fleetwood Mac I completely agree with Lloydc. They were not even close to being the best band ever. (I could easily name a hundred or so better bands.) I will readily admit that they were very successful, but then again, so was ABBA, Styx and other pop bands of... | |
| Resolution Audio Opus Players? Tvad,Interesting, as that is news to me.My unit, acquired second hand, (I believe it was a year old when I bought it), has been in use by me for a number of years, (five or six I believe), and the transport has never failed. And in fact it is stil... | |
| Resolution Audio Opus Players? Hey Chuckie,I still use the Resolution Audio Opus 21, and I find it to be a near reference CD player, IMHO.(It can be bettered, but typically only by units that cost two to three times its' cost. i.e. Audio Aero Capitole Mk II, or the EMM Labs CDS... | |
| high end speakers? ... not sure what brands/model I hate Toyotas.;-) | |
| High Quality Fuses: Real Gains? So Jgiacalo, can you elaborate a bit more about your Playstation 1?Do the video games play any better, or faster, on the Playstation 1 video game console with the new high end fuse?Do the graphics have a higher resolution perhaps?Or does it upgrad... | |
| Ever check the Wanteds? I typically do a search of the ads of whatever piece of equipment that I am going to be selling, so that I can see what the typical asking price is, so I can set my price in the same neighborhood.When I do that, any and all of the "wanted" ads pop... | |
| tubes and rock and roll, good fit? If I may make a suggestion, (or two):Try the hybrid (220 wpc) Lamm M2.2 monoblocks. Two of my friend both use these amps, and one of them uses the Rockport Antares speakers. (His system is the best system I have ever heard, bar none.)We have direc... | |
| Bi wiring? FYI: Technically, you are asking if you can "Bi-amp" your speakers, not merely "Bi-wire" them.Having that much difference in power would probably yield more problems than it would be worth, IMHO. (And I imagine that the power reserves of a dedicat... | |
| basis 1400 belt & cartridge A modified Rega RB 300 tone arm would work just fine. (That was what most of the Basis 1400 tables were sold with originally.) The reason I say modified is that the standard Rega shaft had a sleeve afixed to it by Basis, so that the locking screw ... | |
| To big to fail? What road are we headed down? So ... now that you have vented your frustration, do you feel better now? ;-)Personally, I have no problem with the packaging, and I don't seem to buy or receive broken CD cases.No offense, but if this were the Audio Asylum, IMHO, this post would ... | |
| Black-Eyed-Peas, the future of modern music? Seen 'em, not impressed, sorry.(To each his own though, and I'm glad you enjoyed them!)I am hoping the future of modern rock is more like:Wilco;Death Cab for Cutie;Bright Eyes;The Shins;My two cents worth anyway. | |
| Wilson Sasha versus Watt Puppy 8 Tpreaves,You are wrong!I am, (at this very minute, no less!), holding Shakey's face in front of the monitor, and forcing him to read your posts!(I've had to resort to using duct tape to hold his eye lids open on number of occasions, but today he i... | |
| Buy tubes from Audio Research or not Taters,I seem to recall that ARC had some provision in their warranty that stated that the use of non-ARC tubes may void the warranty. I recommend that you check it out before doing any tube rolling.Good Luck! |
