| Great Music from an unexpected source. Thanks for the lead. Actually, a very clever idea to ask successful performers to select music they like well enough to recommend it to the public. | |
| Help w/ cable choices for tubes and VonSchweikert greggstraley@yahoo.com sells an eight foot pair of his design speaker cables for list price of $180. I have been using in various tube amp systems, most recently with Cary SLA-70Sig amplifier driving Clements Reference RT-7 speakers with their tra... | |
| Favorite integrated amp? Just a note to mention that my error containing posting which preceded the "Correction" above is missing in action. The correction, by itself, is accurately identifying two very different, and listenable, classic (soon to be vintage?) DAC's.My vot... | |
| Won't preamps become obsolete? Aside from the discussion whether active, or passive, or no preamp can work better, may I mention another way to enhance signal transfer? Although I am a fan of the $350 EVS Ultimate Attenuators from tweakaudio.com, I have found that there is a wa... | |
| Favorite integrated amp? Correction: The EVS Millennium 1b DAC is the creation of Ric Schultz at tweakaudio.com. Only one DAC per system.Scott Nixon's Anodyne ATAS DAC is in another system.I guess all good little audiophiles should be fast asleep at 3 AM, and not trying t... | |
| Won't preamps become obsolete? There is the SCE Harmonic Recovery System, an active black box with no buttons or knobs, to place between the CD source, and the amp(s) which will improve the quality of signal transmission. It is much cheaper than any preamp, going used on Audiog... | |
| A shocking reminder RW, Thanks for your idea, which I shall be trying in a system where the spark is actually uncomfortable to the fingers. Having the anti-static sheet on top of the receiver will remind me to do the laundry, no, no, will remind me to touch before tu... | |
| NOrdost with bottom end.... I have enjoyed Clements RT-7 speakers with transmission line bass, and ribbon tweeters. Originally, Alpha Core Goertz MI-3 had replaced my Nordost to fulfill need for attributes you describe; MI-2, and MI-3 share similar voicing, in their respecti... | |
| Need help picking budget Turntable Johnnantais, I bet there is a return policy regarding the mat from Herbie's, if it is not what you want. That would allow for trying in your own environment. I still use the "Non-Felt" mat, even though some like Herbie's better, and no static clin... | |
| Interconnect under $200 new or used..... If you want to buy a modestly priced interconnect with performance at the highest level, then my personal home shootout confirmed that the interconnects, and speaker cable made by greggstraley@yahoo.com are definitely worth your trying, with his m... | |
| Need help picking budget Turntable Johnnantais, Just hoping I did not scare you back to playing shellac 78's on an RCA Victrola. Herbie's turntable mat is made of open-cell silicone foam.Actually, if you enter Herbie's Audio Lab in the Google search box, you will be transported int... | |
| Need help picking budget Turntable Just adding my enthusiastic vote for the Rega RB-300 arm with the truly amazing Kerry Audio F2 Titanium Heavyweight Counterweight. The Kerry "tweak" made my vinyl collection brand new, and at a very modest cost.Also, don't forget either the "Non-F... | |
| Monitor or fullrange ? For about $600 (just slightly more than your budget) the Platinum Audio Solo loudspeakers are definitely worth considering. This is one great, and formerly expensive, speaker whose used price fell to earth, but with performance still up in the hea... | |
| great little speakers Warrenh, did you pay $4000 for the Caravelle speakers, and get the Sistrum support platforms for an additional price, around $790? These discussions may have to be sure to mention prices, so we are comparing apples to apples. Looking forward to re... | |
| Mom and pop garage audiophile caliber gear If father and son may be substituted for mom and pop, then I nominate Aronov Audio. I own one of their designs, a tube integrated amp, the LS960i, and it really prompts those with much more expensive units to comment how great it sounds. Such good... |
