| The Best & Rarest of all Stereo Gear I agree, the Paisleys are terrific speakers. I think if Celestion or ProAc made them and marketed them at $2-2500, they would sell all day at that price. I'd be very lucky to come across another pair of Raunas at a reasonable price. If it's meant ... | |
| The Best & Rarest of all Stereo Gear I hear you about not remembering what you had for breakfast, as I'm getting to that age too, or maybe I'm there already, as I just realized that I haven't eaten breakfast at all today :) I'm trying to get a handle on your comments. I've read so ma... | |
| The Best & Rarest of all Stereo Gear Those were the speakers I heard the first time stepping into a really high end audio store and I'll never forget how great they sounded. You know, when your jaw drops to the ground in amazement. Same thing happened the first time I heard SET amps.... | |

| Manufacturers don't get it. make tubes visible. I also agree with most others here to keep the tubes visible. I remember Roger Modjeski of Music Reference once writing about his tube amp philosophy - keep the transformers in the back and the tubes in the front for better ventilation. And his am... | |

Hi,This is a very old thread so I'm sure you found something cheap and fun; however, in case anyone is still looking for cheap and really fun, you've got to check out:http://fleawatt.blogspot.com/ I've currently have a Fleawatt in my bedroom syste... | |
| The Best & Rarest of all Stereo Gear Yes, I think I remember that Rappaport preamp from an old TAS magazine. Years ago, I picked up a rare Pilot mono receiver at a yard sale for $35 that must have been a foot tall in a beautiful wood cabinet w/Genelec KT-66's. Sold it untested a few ... | |
| What was your first 'hi-end' system? My first hi-end system was in the early 80's and I didn't know what to do with it. An older neighbor with family problems very unexpectedly brought over a McIntosh C-22 preamp, MR-71 tuner, a Dyna Mk 2 amp, and a Thorens TD-124 TT w/SME tonearm al... | |
| Best bourbon? I had Eagles Rare last week and really liked it, would love to try Blantons Reserve | |
| Any good FM tuners around for less than $200? I agree with you Mike. There are a lot of tuners to choose from at this price point. I had the Yamaha CT-810 once upon a time and liked it very much. The height of the 1010 could be of consideration though as it was a very large, tall tuner. | |
| Any good FM tuners around for less than $200? Ryan, you obviously know a lot more about tuners than I do in regard to how they work; however, I've owned a lot of good tuners in the past including several that are highly touted on the fmtunerinfo site, for whatever that is worth.IMO, from what... | |
| What's In Your Tape Cassette Deck Tonight? I have over 300 cassettes and someone wants to give me a bunch more. Recently picked up a Harman Kardon TX392 and an Aiwa ADF660 both 3 head decks and I think as good sounding as my old NAK BX125. I still have about 6 or 8 nice blank tapes so I gu... | |
| Any good FM tuners around for less than $200? Holly,The FM tuner info site is a great place to start but I don't think they are the end all/be all when it comes to tuners, but definitely a great reference.Basically you have to decide on a digital or analog tuner and do you have the space for ... | |
| High-Efficiency Single Driver Speaker System I listen to jazz, classical & rock and while I'm not very good at describing sound like those posts before mine, I just know it when its right. Having said that, I owned a very rare pair of wide baffle Omega Grande 8's several years ago, had t... | |
| $1500 for a whole system, budding audiophile I go the opposite of most people and put more into the electronics and less into the speakers. You can get awesome speakers for not a lot of money. I bought an $1200 pair of Celestion C100's for $200 in the past and have gotten other great deals o... |
