| Thoughts from Joule preamp owners? I like my Joule LA 100 quite a bit. It gets rotated with several other preamps, but usually goes on-line with Cary 300B monos and Merlin VSMs downstream and vinyl (Oracle/Graham via Aesthetix Rhea) upstream. At the other end of the spectrum, I rec... | |
| Musical, Warm and Smooth bookshelfs under 500 My office speakers - old Sonus Faber Minuettos - are probably about as good a match to your requirements as I know of. They rarely turn up used, but when thye do, they should be in your ballpark pricerange.good luck.Marty | |
| INTEGRA DHC-80.3 Surround Processor BTW,I've had an Integra DTR 6.9 in my HT room for several years and it's been great sounding and 100% reliable.Marty | |
| INTEGRA DHC-80.3 Surround Processor I just bought an Onkyo 5508 (it should arrive Tuesday) after about a year of research/auditioning/etc. After all that time, I concluded that Onkyo/Integra was my best choice, so that's one thumbs up for your decision. I'd add that my application i... | |
| Any good Contemporary Christian recordings I'll check 'em all out and report back. | |
| Any good Contemporary Christian recordings Thanx for the heads up on "Stacy". Noted.Sorry 'bout going a little OT on Escovedo, I'd still suggest that you check out his older material if you can. Much rawer than the Chuck P. collaboration you found | |
| Any good Contemporary Christian recordings Marco,You made for a very funny "YouTube" moment.I inexplicably (maybe compulsively) switched from the Woven Hand link you provided for "Ain't No Sunshine" to the Michael Jackson link that sits in the border next to the video. While I kinda like M... | |
| Any good Contemporary Christian recordings This isn't a recommendation, since I've never heard any of the music. However, the musician (Caleb Quaye) behind this organization, is a monster guitarist who used to play for both Elton John and, later, Hall & Oates. Might be worth investigat... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Ah, tonewood....http://www.edroman.com/customshop/wood/main.htmSome interesting stuff here. | |
| Harman Kardon Citation 22 No Love? I believe that all the Citation amps followed certain quirky design principles laid down by head HK designer Matti Otala. Definitely a different way to skin the (power amp) cat. A quick Google search will return a ton of info about the design and ... | |
| Favorite 845 tube monoblocks One that was born in the USA: I have Cary 805s driving Verity Parsifal Encores. Joule-Electra pre-amp. | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Bongo,What's your LA club called? I'm in Calabasas and always looking for interesting opportunities to see live performances. Our local club tends to be more nostalgia driven (good thing I like a lot of the old timers, too). I also get to McCabe's... | |
| Should I try to improve speakers at $2000.00 range BTW, in addition to the Vandys, there are many other $2k replacement speakers that would also get you more bandwidth than the SL 700s. Many small $2k floorstanders (I own the very fine omnidirectional Ohm 100s, which are one example) are available... | |
| Should I try to improve speakers at $2000.00 range I'll take a different approach - and largely steer clear of the value debate (new products vs old products/technology advances vs. high end price inflation) - and point out that you can probably add an octave of bass extension to your system (even... | |
| Danny Gatton & Joey DeFrancesco Rock solid time, crazy whole-tone and pedal steel licks totally honest guitar playing without relying on gimmicks.True, but ironic. There was a time when Gatton was best known for his magic dingus box and looping tricks (that would sometimes confu... |
