Shawn Colvin anyone?
Eva's cd Imagine is her best IMO. Just a tremendous cd!!! Wish she had a chance to do more work. I can't say enough about Nora Jones either. She has got talent coming out of ears...and she ain't bad to look at;) 
6922 tube brands; the best and avarage for my SFL2
I had a pair of RCA tubes in the rear most bank only, with stock Sovteks in the forward 2 banks and was impressed with the sound...more warm and detailed. The Sovtek was vry clinical and harsh IMO in comparison. I have used Amprex and didn't notic... 
Help me with preamp choice.
Sonic Frontiers Line 1 or 2 is in your price range and are great pieces. BAT is nice, but don't think you can get one under $2K. 
Can I run my Amp from a Line Conditioner?
I had a 5000 and ran my amp through it...you should be ok. I have recently discovered if your equipment has a highly regulated power supply (like my Sonic Frontiers Line 1) you DONT want to use LCs, but the Sunfire should be good to go.Peter, you ... 
Shawn Colvin anyone?
dam, wish I could have been there!!! Everything But The Girl does "Only Living Boy..." and it's one of my favorites. I recently discovered Eva Cassidy. She died of cancer before she had a chance to get famous, and she definitly would have been fam... 
Sam loves the McIntosh MCD205. Do You?
Can any1 compare this changer to the Anthem CD1?? 
Hendrix Smash Hits?
I've always thought Jimi was a good demo disk in terms of imaging and sound stage. There are parts where the sound and back up vocals really wrap around my sweet-spot. 
No computer??
I am most amused (amazed???) when discussing the benefits of broadband connections. Modem users ALWAYS say "I don't use the internet enough to justify the expense" yet when they sit in front of my computer they ALWAYS spend so much time on the int... 
No computer??
Never in the history of man has an invention become so important to our lives so quickly. There is a definite division between users and not users of PCs (macs too), and that can be further divided into users and those who use effectively. As my f... 
When to replace new tubes in Power Amp?
When you start hearing pops and clicks in the speakers. If you have a tube tester, that would more of a tell-all, but trust me, you'll KNOW when to change tubes when you hear those pops. 
who repairs sonic frontiers?
Void,I have the Line 1 (by the way, just replace the rear most bank of tubes...gives the most improvement) and use the Anthem Amp 2 which I just sent to NY for repair:( It was kicking out a terrible hum in my mid range drivers. I use a Marantz cha... 
who repairs sonic frontiers?
Too bad Cosmic, I am always looking for a good game. I know a guy, Coyote who is 47, who still plays, so don't use the age excuse!!!!:)I have used Amprex, Sovtek, Telefunken, Siemens, RCA and some off brand Soviet made tube (MIGs??). The Soviet tu... 
What SS amp do you use with your SF Line 3?
I bought some tube dampers about 2 months ago, and to be honest I never really did anything to see if I heard a difference, but I was using them on telefunken tubes, so if there was a benefit to them, I'm sure it was negligable. I have since pulle... 
What SS amp do you use with your SF Line 3?
Marakanetz,What tubes can you use in place of the 6922? I have a Sonic Frontiers Line 1 and am always interested in trying different configs. Thanks.m- 
who repairs sonic frontiers?
LOL!!!! Yer aw'right Cosmic. Your welcome to my Illinois winter anytime; I'm trying to make my way back to the Southern States. Hope to see you in UT land sometime.lex (lexicon). Guess that needs to be changed now to Sonic Frontiers Line 1. I love...
