| Windham Hill an audiophile label? Cool project & great posting's. Have to agree, certainly many of the WH are of audiophile quality and ahead of their time in some regards. I was on a spiritual quest to the east back in 80 and many a WH cassettes were copied & passed aroun... | |
| Tekton Kat's Meow Sorry Crankshaft, just saw your ?. Don't know if this makes sense to you, but the druid are extroverted in nature with a good dose of introverted-ness; and the tekton are introverted with a good dose of extroverted-ness. The tekton are more resolv... | |
| Any vintage tuners with a small footprint? Dougdeacon ~ one of the best links I checked out in awhile, thanks for the laugh. | |
| Top 5 Hamburgers Back in the day, here in Cleveland, Oh, I would have said Fantastic Steakburger on W 25,.. great burgers, long since gone. Swenson's a local Drive In chain are pretty good and supposedly the choice of Jimmy Buffet when he's in town for his annual ... | |
| Quality, Affordable, Preamps? If it has to be an inexpensive tube pre...try a Dared SL 2000; $250-300 used. It doesn't have much gain and only has 2 or 3 inputs, very good for the money.If 1 input is ok than get a Placette. $600-700 used, it is passive & not tube but excel... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? AMR CD-77 and the dac section is incredible too. | |
| The best CD Player for the money For my money the best price/ performance I've had is the Cambridge Audio 840c, about $1k used. But there are a lot of good players out now. | |
| Beginner to Hi Rez Downloads Ditto & Thanks for the info! | |

| Where do you buy good CD recordings? Amazon, chesky, marecordings, & berkshirerecordoutlet (great price's but no soundclips at this one) | |

| Audio By Van Alstine Amps/Preamps I had an earlier version of the 550 hybrid. Had it for about a year and paired it with a Placette pre and can highly recommend it. (probably a little bit less refined than I suspect the Pathos to be, but an excellent budget choice for a hybrid). N... | |
| Passive Preamps Unsound is right, there are many threads on this. In a nutshell, if you have an excellent front end with sufficient output v, and you don't want to enhance (or degrade) what it offers than try a passive. If you want to hear what passive will do fo... | |
| Very airy sounding player under 1K used? That is a very nice set-up, The raysonic should be great.Good luck. | |
| Very airy sounding player under 1K used? By "very open airy sound", I'll take that to be transparent.I owned the Naim cd5x, which I really liked but it wasn't transparent in that it has a small soundstage. Also had a Cambridge 840, which plays way beyond it's price point and I can highly... |
