| Where to audition headphones in NYC ? I find it interesting that when I was auditioning headphones I had access to a good number of brands, and I decided on the AKG 701s by a wide margin. Since then, until I have read this thread, it seemed everyone else likes Beyer Senns etc. So do t... | |
| "Best of Show" Adverts Why worry about it? Beyomd which as Mapman said the statement could have come from just one guy's thoughts that were published only as his experience at a show. I have not purchased my gear based on that kind of statement. If you see it repeatedly... | |
| Changing technology Pro for internet use which I haven't adopted yet is almost endless variety which you need not store if you don't want to, like the radio streaming services. Tchnical problems may arise when you least want them to. You still have to pay for much of... | |

| Jadis OR bias value for Mullard RL34 and KT88 help Sure Joe, you know what I have a rarely used one that I don't need to protect so carefully, I will tell you here try stmechanic1@comcast.net I can only access it occasionally so forgive me for a slight delay. Once there I will update you on my cur... | |
| wall rack and different shelf materials under TT My concern with Butcher Block which I use under a couple of different components has a lot of glue or boding agent in them. Therefore it is difficult to compare these manyfactured boards like my amps stand which have 3 and 1/2 inched of bonded Map... | |
| Cable For Esoteric UX-3 Universal Player I would second the Audience. Even their introductory level cable which no one talks much about at least the IC are called "Conductors" and are a great value. In general you should look for a small diameter conductor which is silver plated copper. ... | |
| wall rack and different shelf materials under TT Never mind I found them thanks. | |
| wall rack and different shelf materials under TT I couldn't find the Hardwood Lumber Company on Ebay can you spell it out exactly so I can see what they have. I like good lumber and finished boards. Thanks | |
| Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p? I think it is kind of silly to think that a person who can afford a Wilson speaker can't afford very good electronics. It just doesn't make sense. It is possible but improbable, so calm down. The speaker like most speakers has to be optimized when... | |
| Jadis OR bias value for Mullard RL34 and KT88 help The fuse ratings are typically on the fuse cover, and then again on the fuse. If all else fails see if you can download a users manual from Jadis. The other sources are probably commercial and would want a fee. Joe (Trelja might pop bback in to he... | |
| Help me select a new remote preamp on a budget If you are open to tubes, the AES AE-3 made by Cary is inexpensive new and a real bargain used. Upscale Audio has them I think with remote control. Great sound especially if you take their advice on substituting the stock tubes. It is a very strai... | |
| Min room size for Wilson Audio Sophia or WP8 Sorry I didn't respond sooner. The Pass electronics are great no problem there. I merely mentioned that good amps are needed because the Wilsons will play all the defects you send them as accurate speakers. | |
| Anybody using the MM phonostage for PrimaLuna? Another I can't help suggesting because it is so good is the Graham Slee Gram amp 2SE. It is incredible for an under $500 phono amp (MM). It isn't tube but everything else I own is pretty much. It adds real weight to the music and will astonish yo... | |
| Looking for foam surrounds for SD 300ti Everything gets exagerated I find. So if they can call it 4.5 inches based on the frame dimensions they will. I don't know if my old friend Bill at Millersound repairs this size speaker anymore but there is no more honest guy in the business. Try ... |
