| What music do you use to assess your system? Well recorded sound effects are actually very good for assessing systems because most people know what they really sound like. | |
| Shopping for speakers at $1500-$2000 is a chore. Ls-50 is very good with high power high current amp in a smaller room but is undersized for larger rooms. Any small speaker can only go so far. | |

| Is it possible to adapt kt88 to a 6A3 single ended Real,There is a difference between "wild" and educated guesses.Knowing Al and his background and interests and having read many of his posts, I can assure you his guesses are among the best educated you will find.Since you asked the question, I'll... | |

You'll know what you like best when you hear it. Were it me, I would audition Goldenear Aon 3. That should do n... | |

| Is Dynaudio forgiving speakers? FWIW, I would not call them "forgiving". They'll give you what you put into them. | |
| What is your recommendation on upgrading a Linn LP The 1980's Linns are keepers. I'd do whatever I could to keep mine going. I am original owner of my Linn Axis that continues to deliver the goods. I'll be keeping it still as long as is possible. | |
| Is Dynaudio forgiving speakers? I think Dynaudio is an excellent choice for what you are looking for. I use them with good quality Class D amplifiers and find them to be an excellent match there, adding just a touch of warmth and with excellent weight to the music for their size... | |
| Anyone interested in world music? Putumaya and "Rough Guide" labels/series are great samplers for finding world music. I pick them up whenever I can.I'm not much of an album or single artist guy these days. I'm much more into finding the individual tracks or compositions that I re... | |
