| Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable Well, I certainly didn’t expect to get the plethora of responses to my original post as I did. One thing I can say, audiophiles are extremely passionate about their hobby! 😎 | |
| Recommendation for higher power tube amp If your up to putting together a kit (you can buy them already assembled if you pay extra) look at the VTA-125. 125 watt monoblock tube amplifiers from Bob Latino. I have these and they sound wonderful. Here is a link: http://www.tubes4hifi.com/b... | |
| Stacked Quads wiring question Thanks for the explanation. Ok, I hadn't considered powering them separately, but I could do this if there would be any advantage. Here's what I originally thought I'd do: power them with a pair of 125 watt tube amplifiers. I built two Bob Latino ... | |
| Talk but not walk? You use the word "empirical" six times in your rant. What's with that?. 😦 | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? Absolutely no. I'm a former software engineer with experience in networking for many years. The data that's being delivered in a CAT/5-6 cable is DIGITAL!! It's a stream of binary data NOT analog data. Ethernet uses CSMA/CD (Carrier sense multipl... | |
| Aurender and Tidal hanging up Keith, from your username I'm assuming you live in Tucson AZ? I looked up AT&T home internet services available there. Ostensibly their cable internet offers between 50-100 Mb/s and DSL somewhat slower. Since there's 8 bits in a byte that's r... | |
| I'd like to hear recommendations for Turntables under $5,000 I'm surprised that nobody has suggested the Linn Sondek LP12. It is by far the best turntable money can buy. In any universe! | |

| Looking for vintage Quad ESL's - or my wife thinks a "shrink" becase she says I'm crazy! Wow! I never thought my little thread would get so much mileage! I'm impressed. It's a testimony to the impact the Quad speakers had on HiFi. I got my Quad 303, 33 and tuner this week. The 33 and tuner beautifully ensconced in a walnut case. I'm n... | |

| Looking for vintage Quad ESL's - or my wife thinks a "shrink" becase she says I'm crazy! Ok, what does OTL mean? "On the Lamb, Oh.. Too Loud!" I give up!!So, if I get a pair of ESL 57's and if I wanted to use my brand new M125 tube amps how could I add 'protection' to the Quads so I don't destroy them? BTW, I don't particularly like l... | |
| Looking for vintage Quad ESL's - or my wife thinks a "shrink" becase she says I'm crazy! Robert, thank you so for your valuable information! I took your advice about the Bob Latino amps. I will use them ultimately when I can make sure I have taken the appropriate measures to protect my future Quads from damage. I'll have to email Bob ... |
