| Rockport Grand Mira II I don't know about the Mira Grand II, as I heard the original Mira Grand, but it sounded very, very good to my ears, as well as to a friend of mine when we auditioned them at a store in San Francisco. I thought that the sound was very seemless fro... | |
| Pass amps + Power Cords ?? Okay, Guidocorona, you got my attention!What the $%#^%# does "Goldielockian" suppposed to mean?I assume it is related to the fable, "Goldielocks and the Three Bears"; But what the heck does that have to do with audio power cables, (or even life in... | |
| anyone gotten a scratch on component and gone mad You have my condolences.Been there, done that, (expecially on new cars!)This is one of the benefits of buying equipment used.(One expects small nicks, scratches and/or dings on used equipment, and so one is not nearly so ticked off when "another" ... | |
| Best 3 tube preamps under $18000? Full function or line level only?You did not specifyI will assume you mean line level only, and so here are three that my friends use or used. (FYI, I use a solid state preamp, the Ayre K-1xe, which is a full function preamp.)The ARC Ref. 5 is one... | |

| DCS Puccini into Lamm M 1.2 w/o preamp? I don't know if this is of any help to you or not, but my friend used to use an ARC Ref. 3 with his Lamm M2.2s, and the sound is awesome. I recommend that you give it a shot when you get your Lamm amps.(I say "used to" use, because he just upgrade... | |

A small spot light for my turntable.2. A few small spot lights for my LP (2) and CD (1) racks.3. My track lighting for my art work ... | |
| Amplifier for Revel Studio v.1 I agree with the others who stated you need lots of power with the Studios.I used to own a pair, (for five years actually), and I quickly determined that the Mark Levinson No. 27 amp, (100 wpc), that I owned when I bought them, was not nearly powe... | |
| Tom Evans Groove X, Aesthetix Rhea or JLTI I have been told that there are two versions of the Rhea, and that the newest version is quieter than the first version. The first version was definitely a bit noisy with low output MC cartridges. (My friend used one, and while I agree it had wond... | |
| Speakers with Lamm ML2.1 Well, I am going to disagree with Lapierre about the Avalon Eidolon Diamond. (Not that I don't think that they are good speakers - they are magnificient - but, they will not work well with only 18 wpc, IMHO. I believe these speakers really need at... | |
| Your First Vinyl Album. For me it was The Beatles' Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. I figure I got off to a pretty good start! :-) | |
| returning vinyl for warpage? So Curio, and Mosin, is that made out of glass or acrylic?I would be interested in buying it, as it looks fairly cheap to make, hence it should be fairly cheap to buy.Thanks for the info. | |
| Prefered Freight Company I Navis Pack and Ship a little over a year ago to ship out my Revel Studios. They were helpful and reasonably priced.(By the way, you can save money if you ship terminal to terminal.)Here is a link to their website:Navis Pack and ShipHowever, rega... | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 preamp Okay Guys,Well, I had a chance to do an A/B comparison between the ARC Ref. 3, (which my friend has had in his system for over a year), and the ARC Ref. 5, (which a friend of his lent to him, as he was going to sell it, as the synergy between the ... | |
