| Suggestions? Tubed linestage pre-amp?? For around $1,000-$1500 you might be able to find a Modwright SWL 9.0 (no balanced) This uses a 5AR4 and 2 5687's Very tonally Beautiful and sweet , very open up top and solid in the bottom.. guitars and vocals really shine. ALSO, Check out the De... | |
| Speaker grills Off! They are sound blockers. | |
| Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker? My take was the kind of thing (distortion) that would fatigue or even hurt your ears or damage your speakers! Not acceptable in my book. The measuring kind or inaudible kind I could care less about. | |
| Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker? LOL....you are all very funny. IMHO distortion is not acceptable in home audio! While in live music distortion is accepted fully. I have always wondered about this,but the fact remains that DISTORTION is not good for the listening room. | |
| power cords fo monoblocks Signalcable.com ....Try the Magic Power cord! you will not regret it. It dosen't cost a bunch either. Tip...order 2 ft more than you need, the cable dosent bend easily. | |
| Best of current 12ax7? I really like the GE 5751 NOS. I use it in my ASL headphone amp. This tube is a direct replacement for 12AX7. For new 12AX7's try the Tung Sol. (very good for the price) | |
| Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns? I've always found Cardas to be very colored try some cables that "get out of the way more". Also, I love the electronics you have. You could always look at changing speakers...Unless you really love those B&W's.I would look at some Dynaudio C1... | |
| Has any one heard the Essence 1600 Electrostat? Tried to purchase....These speakers seem to be a myth. Good luck trying to get a pair. I think the question should be "has anyone actually seen a pair in person".They have to be made to order! Don't give $$ for them unless you can feel and touch t... | |
| Need Help with Speaker Cable ID. What are they? Based on Joes description of the cable in question they did not make any colored thick like the indigo "stranded" cable design. Any multi stranded stuff would have been sold bulk on a spool Not in 6 or 8 foot runs. | |
| Need Help with Speaker Cable ID. What are they? Multi stranded? GAG! Not AQ that's for sure. | |
| Spin Clean seems to add noise to records? Well said ACT, the spin clean is in fact working fine. That's why Rebbi can hear how the record really sounds. Note I love there fluid and it works very well on dirty used records. OR you can always buy a VPI cleaner for $500 ! | |
| old verses new ??? I find that any OLD table has to be gone thru and even updated a little. IE..tonearm rewire or just changing the turntable IC. These classic tables are special indeed, they have a classic look and sound that you cant get in a new table. But, the n... | |
| System Direction? Thiel 7.2s, Krell, Kimber, SCD-1 I would purchase some mono blocks from McIntosh and with one of there tube preamplifiers you will be in fatigue free audio nirvana! So I would look at the MC500 mono blocks or even a MC402 or a 600 single chassis amplifier, then mate with a MC2200... | |
| Can we talk? Steve, did you mean the Dynaudio Confidence 2's? I don't think they made a Contour 2. | |
| Can we talk? I sold my beloved Mirage M3's back in the late 90's. I purchased a pair of EPOS ES22's $2500. Then I had to replace the midranges...$650.00. Then I bought 2 more! @ $1500. I was not happy, and after blowing 5k on these 4 speakers I bought a pair o... |
