| BEST little know Jazz Album that you ever heard? These lists give me lots of stuff to listen to. Thanks 🙏 Heres a few more: Rodney Franklin / You’ll Never Know Al Jarreau / Look to the Rainbow Live Sea Level / Debut LP Bob James & Earl Klugh / One on One Grover Washington Jr / Paradi... | |
| Best RCA interconnect up to ~$100? Usually anything silver I like best between electronics, although an interconnect manufacturer told me that copper was best between a preamp and subwoofer as copper does better with bass than does silver. A friend in NorthCentral PA made his own ... | |
| Does Anyone Else Member the Golden Age of Audio Insults and Product Degradation? Seems that Schiit Audio has the perfect name to participate in this thread Douk is a close second if you add a ‘Y’ (Douky) | |
| Acoustically Treating a Bomb Shelter @davetheoilguy Thank you for the support and unity. Fortunately, geographically I live in a very safe part of Israel. I’m in the North, but as they say here in Caesarea, we are South of the North and North of the South. Too far from the rocke... | |
| Acoustically Treating a Bomb Shelter @davetheoilguy Just wanted to make sure you’ve got plenty of food and water on hand at your disposal in case of a real emergency. That should be priority No. 1, then get your audio system set up. I live in Israel in a very safe area away f... | |
| New/ used "vintasetage" system Let us know how it works out. I have learned to always be very patient when changing components. Firstly, some things take a long time to burn in and sound right. Unless it’s tube gear, I leave my stuff on all the time and a lot of times it... | |
| Affordable SS that sound like Tubes Many years ago I A/B’d a highly regarded pair of Paoli M70 mono blocks against a B&K EX442 Sonata and was completely blown away with how identical in sound these two amps were and how utterly tubelike the B&K actually was. The Paoli’s ... | |

| Acoustat TNT-120 Bias and Offset Adjustment Maybe see if you can contact Jim Strickland at Hafler/Rockford-Fosgate? | |
| VANDERSTEEN 2C or CABASSE 321 M3 question Volume will be limited. I don’t know how loud you listen or how big your room is but be careful. Tube amps clip much nicer than SS amps and are harder to detect that they are clipping. Could ruin your speakers if not careful. It might sound be... | |
| VANDERSTEEN 2C or CABASSE 321 M3 question If you are married to making this amp sound great, I’d sell both speakers and get some high efficiency Klipsch’s, single driver Omegas, or Zu’s. I have a feeling that the Cabasse’s, while at 94 db efficient probably go well below 8 ohms. Klipsch’s... | |
| VANDERSTEEN 2C or CABASSE 321 M3 question I have found this on the Cabasse speakers https://hifivintage-eu.translate.goog/en/dynamic-loudspeaker/1730-cabasse-sloop-321.html?_x_tr_sl=fr&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc They are rated at 94 db efficient b... | |
| Ultimate_HiFi_Trades They appear to have a lot of positive feedback on eBay and it’s only interconnects so shipping from Greece to the US shouldn’t be too expensive. However, if you want to deal with a US company look into The Cable Company. thecableco.com | |
| Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time? @decooney I agree with you that I’m also not a fan of someone changing designs all the time either. However, the Super 3XRS’s haven’t changed at all except to install a superior driver. I had a pair of them a few years ago; they were quite nic... | |
| Warm, rich but detailed SS preamp (made you give up tubes) @roxy54 Thank you so much for the very detailed response. I think it’s a super cool looking preamp, wish I only needed 2 inputs though. I still do vinyl, cassettes, and CDs in addition to streaming. I usually have a tuner too but got rid of it l... |
