| 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... | |

| Tube rolling suggestionsfor Musical Reference RM10 Roger suggests his own RAM Labs tubes, I didn't have the urge to try anything different when I had his gear several years back either...well, perhaps I had the urge but just felt it wasn't proper to try a different tube in his equipment. | |
| New level of ridiculousness ... "$8995 for a power strip?" ... My first thought was that carpetbagger in the white suit in "Outlaw of Josie Wales" who was trying to sell Clint Eastwood his special elixir and Clint taking that huge hocker all over his jacket lapel and asking ... | |
| $1500 for a whole system, budding audiophile What are the sources he has now? If he has lots of cd's and no vinyl or cassettes, then maybe you'd cut out the TT or cassette deck. Let's figure out what sources he'll need and then you can maximize the system. You can definitely get an awesome u... | |
| Amp for klipsch KG4 Sounds like a good plan for a 12 y.o. If he were older, I'd definitely recommend tubes and preferably a low powered single ended tube amp. You'd be truly amazed just how good Klipsch's can sound with low powered SE gear. |
