| How much does your system retail for? Shoot, it's amazing how fast that stuff adds up. Look at Ehoehn's system. Not really anything that I'd consider overly extravagant, but it still comes up to more than 20 grand. Thank god for A'gon and the joys of buying used | |
| Looking for first system advice Stereohp1973: I would say that if, in fact, you are planning to upgrade at a later date, you should find a pair of speakers that you absolutely love, then ask suggestions on what to drive them with. I'm sure that you'll find some local hi-end deal... | |
| Looking for first system advice My first piece of advice for you would be to go listen to equipment at stores other than Tweeter, Etc. Nice enough stuff, yes, but far from optimal listening environment, and very limited selection. However, this is what I'd do for 3k, for classic... | |
| Trelja and friends in New York, 2004 Yeah, but I'm too proud to do something like that..., I was just trying to find it out for myself to describe it to other people. All that really matters is the fantastic sound, right? | |

| Trelja and friends in New York, 2004 Here's what I'm talking about. Shuguang. The Anode cap doesn't seem available for the 805... | |
| Trelja and friends in New York, 2004 Hmm, I don't know. I was just looking at pictures of the tubes last night, and the 807 seemed more like the tube used in the amp, because of the caps used on the tops of the tubes. The Shengueng, or Shengyeng, or something website showed the 807's... | |
| Trelja and friends in New York, 2004 Unless I'm mistaken, the Silverline amp used 807's, not 805's. | |

| Have A Great Summer Everyone I'm sorry to see you leaving our great state. Seems to be about par for the course, though. First the whalers, now the audiophiles...Seriously, though, have great fun in Cali. I'm stuck in Siberia, being in college here. Hey, if you need someone t... | |
| Rotel 1072: Deserving of product of the year? The Rotel 1072 that I heard (with Rotel receiver and Vandy 2Ce's) was very surprising for its price. I was struck by the amount of detail that it managed to present, as well as by the precise imaging. The most important thing about it, in my opini... | |
| Perhaps a dumb question... Pioneer VSX-9900. I'm pretty sure it's got a phono stage, it doesn't sound TOO crappy when I play records through it. | |
| Perhaps a dumb question... But if my receiver or amp has an input that says "Phono" as well as a knob that says "Phono output" or something like that, is it safe to say that it has a built in phono stage? | |
| What music do you want to play really loud? MAHLER!!! | |
| Best speakers under $650 If you have a dealer near you, definitely take a look at the Acoustic Energy Aegis Evo III, as well as whatever PSB is available at that price point. Both are very fine speakers, and when it came down to it, I bought the Acoustic Energy Aegis III ... |
