| Follow-up to my alien aduction-like anecdote. Art, I may be that ALIENS were controlling your mind and trying to get you to sell your stereo on the cheap so that they could buy and then convert it into a secret weapon and TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!! Probably not, though..... In a related developme... | |
| Suggestions for a budget amp There are a LOT of options for pretty good bang for the buck amplification in that price range. A good amplifier will make a huge difference, you can bank on it. You may want to consider a used Odyssey Statos or Khartago. There should be plenty of... | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? To anyone and everyone who knows about tubes (including Swampwalker and Marco):Swampwalker has mentioned "tube biasing" with the Stax 006t. Is that amp a later generation of the SRM T1? That's what I have. Will the tubes have to be "biased"? If so... | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? Marco,Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, the seller did have recommendations, and in fact he put together a package of tubes for me. I'll let you and the others know when I know something. -Bill | |
| What headphone amp to buy-Sennheiser HD 600? Marco,I DID it! I took your advice and bought some tubes from the seller you steered me toward. They're on the way, and pretty soon it'll be time to get things "rolling". -Bill | |

| Herbie's Grungebuster 2 CD Mat vs Marigo's 3-D Sig Interesting information. Rx8man and Rello, thanks for taking the time to reply | |
| Audio Physic Caldera mkii...still good? Samuel,Thanks for the follow-up. I don't understand the Wilson "controversy" for two main reasons:1. First and foremost: I've never heard Wilsons, ever, so it's not even remotely possible for me to understand the arguments.2. Second: Even if I had... | |
| Best speaker deals on Audiogon at the moment If you're feeling adventurous, my hunch is that the Conrad Johnson Synthesis Reference 4 tower system currently on auction is probably excellent. I don't remember seeing them EVER for sale second hand. HOWEVER, I have never personally heard them (... | |
| When will your system be enough? Short answer: I'm satisfied (and very grateful, in fact) for now and could be happy with my current system, especially the speakers, forever.Long answer: Done for at least a year. The speakers are probably lifers. Still in giddy euphoria about the... | |
| how much to $pend to claim i am an audiophile? You don't need to spend a certain amount of money to be an audiophile. One definition of an audiophile might be this: a person who has a strong affinity for stereo equipment that sounds outstanding to THEM, and is willing to spend what "normal" pe... | |
| 12K new/used to spend You should consider the Intuitive Design Summit, possibly augmented with a sub bass unit like a Rel. If you need to spend more money than the 5000 dollars they cost brand new, with stands, then you could opt for the matching amplifiers that Dale m... | |
| Subtle speaker help needed Scottht:It sounds like you got the upgrade bug before you even bought anything! LOL! You're obviously on the right web site for THAT mindset! Good luck in your decision, whatever it ends up being.-Bill | |
| Review: Odyssey Audio Lorelei Speaker I very strongly considered these speakers as the upgrade to my Paradigm Studio 100 V3 speakers. The one and ONLY reason that I didn't audition them was because I had already heard a different, similarly configured loudspeaker which sounded great, ... | |
| Audio Physic Caldera mkii...still good? Samuel:That is a great review! Thanks for sharing the link. By the way, what did you replace them with after four years? (I'd think that with one or two Rel sub-bass units, with the crossovers set waaayyyyy low, they'd have even more closely appro... |
