| Perception and Watts: Doubling of power Turn on your I phone SPL meter and let me know when you get to 140 decibels. | |
| When were the best tube amps made? When were the best tube amps made? Last Thursday. What were they? Conrad Johnson. | |
| What's your favorite $5-7000 turntable? Rega RP10 with the Apheta 2. If I get a good raise at work, I may spring for the Aphelion. | |
| How Did Your First Audiophile Experience Impact Your Audio Journey? I listened to a system with big monoblock amps and Infinity speakers with the newly introduced EMIT tweeters. Listened to the Doobie Brothers loud and long and left the showroom with a splitting headache. 15 years later, I bought the Adcom 555 II... | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl What baylinor said. | |
| How much is about the recording It all starts with the recording, and the quality of the recording. I listen to a wide range of music. I like the Mozart Piano Concertos on Archiv LP's and discs (although the LP's are better). I also liked Adele 21, but I don't think a good rec... | |

| Why is Audiogon checking my browser? It's big brother. Watch out. | |
| New Rega P10 setup I have the RP10 with the Apheta 2. Also have the Pass Labs XP-15, as you do. I would try the Apheta 2 or 3 and I think you will like it (depending on your musical tastes). I have found this to be a terrific table/cartridge/phonostage combinatio... | |
| Seeking suggestions for 6922 tubes I like the Telefunken's, although they are getting harder to find, and pretty spendy for matched pairs. I think the Siemens comes pretty close, based largely on the type of music you listen to. Brent Jesse is an excellent tube guy. Tube Depot j... | |
| Am I nuts? $4.00. You'll be fine if your budget is $4.00. Otherwise, don't do it. |
