| Thinking about a Zesto Andros 1.2 to replace the John Curl PS in my Audible Illusions M3B Is there anyone who has owned a Zesto Andros phono stage?Too blue,Enjoy indeed!Now listening to about my 10th album. The Curl phono stage and cartridge are just starting to open up and the sound is lovely. Not overly SS sounding. I think the Mayaj... | |
| Is room treatment a science? Many sophisticated descriptions of acoustician principles.My main system is in my family room and my wife would never agree to have panels and other acoustic treatments on the walls!I have experienced room treatment as extreme as a half million pl... | |
| Tonearm mount to the plinth vs arm board vs rotating arm board vs isolated tower Hi Kenchi,Wow, your question as to which arm and plinth is best for your 301 opened up an incredibly technical discourse on the physics of arm board construction!I am somewhat new to high level TT set up and Garland 301 rebuild.And I certainly do ... | |
| Best bookshelf loudspeakers under 10,000 for the pair Best monitor I have heard is the Dynaudio C1. I would buy one used. Should be about $4-5k with stand. Then everyone seems to love the Harbeth 30 (.2?). The right amp is super important. The two hands clapping so to say. I am a tube guy. But the Pa... | |

Constantly upgrading, especially speakers. TetraSpeakers.com.I didn’t need to hear them after I looked at this website. An amazing group of ... | |
| Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp? I only know of one company who only make a line stage and line stage with phono and have been perfecting it for decades: Audible Illusions. A preamp company. And the only preamp that has consistency received TAS Editor’s Choice award saying “one o... | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? Check out YouTube “Garrard 301 vs Studer”. Best audio quality of any YouTube I have heard. As good as the 301 sounds when the Studer comes on you don’t want it to leave! But, for sure, tape is a rich man’s game. But it sure is amazing! | |
| Need help replacing my beloved Magnepan.... Hi Analoguefan,Take a look at Tetraspeakers.com. First photo you see is Keith Richards saying “These are not just ANY pair of speakers!”. And then an amazing group of some of the world’s greatest musicians saying even more superlatives. Herbie Han... | |
| High Output Preamp for First Watt SIT-3? Look at the Tetraspeakers.com site and any other Audio Industry.I have known some top level Grammy winning artists. They normally do not involve themselves with any commercial enterprises unless they art financially invested (with the occasional e... | |
| High Output Preamp for First Watt SIT-3? Hey Murph,Thanks for your responses. It is nice to have my energy returned.Subjective is the word. Since you like how the SIT-3/.7 recreates the lower frequencies and the planar sound, the ultimate solution is getting an Electrostatic Sound Soluti... | |
| High Output Preamp for First Watt SIT-3? Hi Murph,I have pretty carefully read your posts. I relate to your perspective on music playback. Until recently I was a working musician and have made a living as an audio consultant and dealer. I own one of Nelson Pass’s “kitchen table” creation... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? Hi Markus,My speakers are only 90db but a very flat 8 ohm impedance.And my listening tastes are mostly acoustic and not high volume.My amps are pretty expensive 4 chassis 300B at 8 watts but they have a lot of push with the separate power supplies. | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? First, the only absolute is that there are no absolutes.So, IMO, the most musical and human sound is from a single ended triode amp or preamp (SET). Think the SET is the oldest still used audio amp circuit. Used in the first Bell telephone systems... | |
