| Price of Avalon Eidolon Diamonds Answered above, How much do you want for them BTW?? If it is a really low price I will buy them. Emphasis on very low. | |
| PreOuts on an Integrated Amp Does your integrated have a Phono stage in it. If it does then you can of course use the pre outs. If not use a phono stage, they can be had cheaply, in fact there are some inexpensive TTs with analog to digital converters in them. An example woul... | |
| Price of Avalon Eidolon Diamonds You may have to pay for that info using the Audiogon Blue Book Index which you can subscribe to. Otherwise you can take a usual percentage of original list price. I was always of the opinion that an average used price should be % 50 of new. If rea... | |
| Granit amp stands are they killing my sound? Granite is reflective as a polished hard stone. It can cause ringing. I would recommend a wood layer that you can drain vibration into via spikes. the wood with spikes is a common stand type which is fairly cheap but constrained layer damped shelv... | |
| Diversity of opinion over what I am not offended at all. I agree that the JM Lab Focals are detailed analytical and have the "Metal Tweeter" syndrome. I also am deeply aware of the synergystic effects that other elements of the system have on the percieved sound that any one in... | |
| Review: JM Labs Diva Utopia Be Speaker I own a pair of Electra 936s. I like the treble and mids after using a good tube amp to drive them. The bass however isn't always quite as punchy as I would like it to be. Have you ever worked on Electras? I realize they are much less costly speak... | |
| Replasment for Mullard Long Plates? There are still a few NOS 12AX7s available. If I were you I would pursue a search. I saw some Sylvanias as a group of 5 NOS NIB for a fair price. There are still Mullards but like you said striaght labeled newish looking ones are almost non exista... | |
| S.S. Replacement for Jolida 302B w/ Silverlines? How much is a used LFD integrated. they get a lot of praise. You may want to look into it. BTW whats the problem with the tubes. There is a pair of Consonance Cyber 800s for sale here which are simply incredible amps for $1,800 a steal - no affili... | |
| Which to get rid of, TD145 MKii or Dual 1219? I guess the Dual, although I realize there is a resurgence of interest in them. I hope you aren;t the type of guy who marks them up wildy, but that is not my business. | |
| Witch vinyl LP , EP or single you acquired FIRST? Ah yes I remember it well going with my Dad to E.J.Korvettes. The prices were letters not number. A chart on the wall translated the prices. I wish I could say I remember the prices exactly but seem to recall most top hits costing a pretty penny i... | |
| How far can room treatments solve boomy bass? Room treatments, if you haven't guessed already ,can have a tremendous impact on the sound of the bass your system puts out. Are you convinced at this point? | |
| B&W 804 diamond or previous 803D? I can't comment on the Euro speaker costs.I will say that the Onkyo might actually have enough power to get the speakers playing, but is it the right kind of power?? There are so many options these days for power amps it is hard to recommend just ... | |
| Top 5 favorite MM cartridges currently available I do own a Signet which I bought as a Tag sale item expecting little and getting a lot. I wanted to keep it to current production because the hunt and repairs are obstacles I didn't want people to hassle with. Thanks keep the replys coming. Steve | |
| El34 vs. KT88 The ARC is not in my opinion very sweet in the treble. It is by their own account very "High Definition". The sweetest tubes of their own nature are the 6L6, the 300B, the EL-34 and finally the 6550s. I find KT-88s to be somewhat less harsh in any... | |
| REVIEW: Smyth Realizer A8 I will be the first to admit that your review of an unfamiliar product left me utterly confused. Some of those "boring" descriptions are absolutely required for the reader to even begin to grasp what this 'Realizer' is. I am sorry if mylevel of te... |
