| Need Suggestions For Raising Speaker Height Few different ways:1. Cut the middle and weld the extention2. Cut the wood slab in Home Depot of desired width and thickness to match the base of the stands3. You can order granite slabs of the same size(or elegantly waf-compatible larger) of desi... | |
| Configuring my system.. component opinions. For tube pream you should try to find CAT JL1(might or mightnot have phono). It's the ultimate tube unit that hard to beat at 10x price to pay. If you need MC phonostage I'd recommend choosing solid state. High gain tube devices are noisy in gener... | |
| Fine trumpet , alto sax recordings? Duanegoosen,I have to agree with you since I should've mentioned Big Trouble "The Unknown" where Phillip does have excellent solos blended onto band. | |
| Fine trumpet , alto sax recordings? I now listen to Lounge Lizards "Voice of Chunk" on Verabra german vinyl.Not only the recording and cut quality, but amazing "story" of John Lurie's saxophone during the whole album. | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? Ghostrider,I've got a different feelings having the fact that record players were always dominating record changes(many to few at least) that were never big around the globe. | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? Going all the way through the CD generation from 80's and onwards to nowdays I've realized that vinyl's pops and clicks is the worst thing that can happen to the vinyl (agree with mentioned "owner quality" to keep records or CDs in playable condit... | |

| XLR cables for high-end multichannel system Mogami Gold XLR would run in average $100/pr are very hard to beat. With slight improvement going with AudioQuest or Kimber, you'll spend thousands of dollars more. Used wires might be the best bet, but still at the higher price point than Mogami. | |

| Opinion of Quicksilver KT88 60 watt mono amps Pryso,I agree if there's mid-60's circuit you're lucky:)Quickies and HH Scott are the most advanced tube amps so far. | |
| Single source, best pre option? Taking onto consideration DAC-preamp Grace M903, the preamp section does not compromise to any dedicated preamps at all. | |
| Single source, best pre option? I assume that your source is digital so I'd recommend using DAC-preamp such as Antelope Zodiac. Excellent choice for one source system. | |
| Driver/Input tubes The mentioned tubes are also dual triodes that are either used in differential connection or split the signal onto positive and negative for push-pull operation. | |
| Opinion of Quicksilver KT88 60 watt mono amps It's one of the most reliable and easy to maintain tube amp.One could be compared to the units that are worth 4...5x the price paid. | |
| Fine trumpet , alto sax recordings? One of the best soprano sax masters is IMHO Philip Johnston. |
