| what amp? Seriously something with power to get that woofer moving. Alhough I don't think that much of te Mac equipment for my more sensitive set ups I have LaScalas though, The Mac has a synergy with them, also believe it or not older ARC SS power amps if ... | |
| Speaker Cables - Revelation, Elrod, Violin or FIM? I don't want to be contrarian or mean spirited or anything of the like but it appears you have invested a great deal of money in your system save the Syrah which is a bargain. Nonetheless pride of ownership appears to be important to you. If I am ... | |
| Tubes in Hi-End Preamps I own a tube and a couple of SS pre amps aswell as tube and SS power amps. Believe me when I tell you that the small voltage gain the tubes provide yield a cleaner sounding pre than the SS preamps. I have an ultramodified ARC SP6B (6 tubes) which ... | |
| vintage speaker find--are these anything? I am something of a vintage speaker devotee. I peruse that market. I think what you may be seeing is a rebadge of a more typical brand because Mercury is unknown to me, not that I know all of the brands. What happens when you google it or try the ... | |
| Seeking advise on 6922 tubes for a preamplifier.. I had to withstand the sovtek 6922, save yourself and get rid of them immediately they are wretched. In factit was by far the worst of about twenty or so I eventually tried. The sound you want and what the tubes are doing in their position are cri... | |
| Suggestions on used CD Player with Volume Control If you find a Granite 657 they are excellent they have a variable tubed output. They sell new for about 3k have excellent sonics really very good for that money. Used they sell dirt cheap you would probably pay as little as 30% of retail for a min... | |

Yes very just assemble the three except no one makes a truly pure gold wire anything, but pure silver is readily available and so is copper, you could try a gold alloy as well. I have done these comparions sans gold, and can assure that they sound... | |
| what is the difference between good and bad music Any Psychiatrist would say that what we percieve should be percieved by the vast majority of others for it to be true. This is called the reality check. Therefore by definition Pop music is good and everything on the fringe of lunacy in terms of p... | |
| Corner speaker placement Now that I know your thinking of Merlins. I would not put them in a corner. Bring them out away from the wall and experiment with positioning. You know the general rule is to space the speakers at the same distance you will be listenin from 8' apa... | |
| Corner speaker placement I use the corners I have for accentuating bass. I don't know about all this suck out business, and acoutical confabulation. As far as soundstage goes it isn't great. I use the set up for when I want to hear something on my Klipsch La Scalas loud. ... | |
| What don't you like about these speakers? I only know the VR2s. I think they have a sweet top end not grainy in the least but I use very good tubes mine are also pre China production so the tweeter could be different, They are as a rule quite "musical" and have a fabulous midrange but agr... | |
| Chinese Speaker Prices What is the name of that virtual direct import site ? Cattylink or something like that. It will give you low prices on Chinese gear but is being sold completely as a legit import. I would look at sites like that before buying off the streets of Ch... | |
| Bettye LaVette-"I got my own hell to raise" Thanks I'll look it up. Analoge label? OKSorry about the late response, got the "best Of" Candi Staton CD on the Archive label. She is a vastly overlooked talent. Good and powerful voice. Unless I just have my head buried in the usual audiophile f... |
