| Integrityhifi TRU-GLIDER Pendulum Tonearm mijostyn - so, it's been over 2 years since this thread began. Can we now assume you have actually listened to the arm? | |
| Help recommend a good tube preamp +3 for the Backert Labs. | |
| Power Amp Question Now that you have read many contributors comment about your preamp, amp, speakers, system, etc., I would like to comment on your original question. "how to match a power amp to my system using an integrated amp as a preamp." As a general rule of... | |
| Experience with DS Audio Optical Cartridge Systems I think you would have to hear them for yourself. I have 2 DS-003’s, one with the DS-003 energizer, the other with the least expensive energizer (DS-E1). Both sound very good and the system with the less expensive energizer does, indeed, sound bet... | |
| Experience with DS Audio Optical Cartridge Systems A DS Audio system need not be super expensive. The least expensive system is less than $3000 for both the cartridge and the energizer - everything needed. | |
| Experience with DS Audio Optical Cartridge Systems jperry - I too generally refrain from offering an opinion unless I’ve heard the equipment being discussed. In the case of the DS Audio system I do have experience with it and definitely stand by my opinion of the quality of its sound. I have 7 tur... | |
| Experience with DS Audio Optical Cartridge Systems I, too, am in the DC area (Laytonsville, MD). I have a DS-003 and it is exceptional in my opinion.

| Short list of musical subwoofers Have had a number of subs - no losers in the bunch yet. In my Magneplanar 3.7i system I have a pair of MartinLogan Dynamo 1100X subs. Integrate nicely in that setting (crossed over quite low) and the Anthem Room Correction function works well. ... | |
| Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)? From above: "Love to see the large Advent's mentioned. Mr. Kloss was a pretty smart guy--I mean, he invented the acoustic suspension speaker...where would be be today without that?" The acoustic suspension speaker was invented by Edgar Vilchur.... | |
| The "British Invasion". A question for you old farts out there. Beatles vs. Rolling Stones. All others were on the sidelines. I was (am) a Beatles fan. They put out some of the most inventive, groundbreaking music and continually evolved. Each of their albums was a step in a new direction that you could listen... | |
| Is there a modern equivalent of Allison speakers? Larsen speakers would seem to be a modern equivalent of the Allison speakers in that they are designed for placement against a wall and use the wall as a reflection surface. In my experience, they sound very good. | |
| Integrityhifi TRU-GLIDER Pendulum Tonearm Nescient. Nearly the perfect adjective for the member in question. | |
| Integrityhifi TRU-GLIDER Pendulum Tonearm Jeez - and all this time I have been listening to my audio gear and music when what I should have been doing was calibrating my mind. All of your gear "works wonderfully well". Since listening is not a criterion, what is? Does wonderfully well ... | |
