Tube Amps Watts vs SS amp
Atmasphere, thanx for the article. For certain humans are extraordinarily change resistant. That is an unusual perception for an engineer. Those that embrace change are the pioneers like Tesla, Ford, Musk and others less well known. Too bad non of... 
Power amps into surge protector/Conditioner or DIRECT to wall? Final verdict?
Pretty expensive solution cleeds. I'm not sure why everyone thinks separate lines will reduce noise. The are all connected to the same main.Any power supply worth is salt filters noise. It should be particularly good at filtering 60 Hz noise. You ...

Besides Aja and zeppelin pressings, what others are demo level recordings?
millercarbon I do not know about you but I have no problem listening through a rather crude pressing to the quality of the recording, engineering and mastering. It would be nice if all records could be Analog productions pressing but that is not l... 
Quad 2912 vs Martin Logan ESL 11a
Soundlabs are currently the best ESLs made and they will ship anywhere. Far superior to any ML or Quad and they will play loud and are extremely reliable. You do not have to audition them. Just read all the reviews.

Tube Amps Watts vs SS amp
Roberjerman, I will agree that if you never play louder than 85 db you do not need much power and I had a very good audiophile friend in Miami who never did and he use to sit right on top of his Dalquist speakers wearing them almost like a set of ... 
Tube Amps Watts vs SS amp
Sanders biases his arguments towards his own amps which are admittedly great values in high powered amps. Yes, high powered tube amps waste a lot more energy as heat than an AB SS amp. He is also expressing his opinion with a bias toward driving h... 
Anyone Here Have Atma-Sphere Amps?
jsautter the MA3s are $147,000. That is no joke. But, it takes 3 months to build the entire very large 4 piece set. I do not know how many people are involved in the labor but I would bet it is at least 4 if not more. Given that and parts and you ...

Any Analog Productions album. Janis Ian's Breaking Silence is a nice start. It is hard to believe how good the Buddy Holly recordings are. These are handily the best quality vinyl made in the States. Substantially better than regular Mobile Fideli... 
Turntables and Trusting Online Reviews
The only reviewer I ever trusted was Harry Pearson RIP. His reviews were always artfully written and cogent. Johnathan Valin is okay otherwise forget it. It gets more ridiculous by the minute. millercarbn is correct in that sometimes if you look a... 
Trying to reduce noise while listening to tube phono
That's why. What is the reason to have unshielded tonearm leads?The first tonearm I had was an ADC Pritchard. It came with the Thorens TD 124 that I bought use. It was a wood tonearm and the wire within the arm was unshielded. As the arm got close... 
So just how much vinyl do YOU own?
Most of us old music lover audiophiles have large record collections. I still have my Father's pre recorded tapes. He had a wonderful old tube Ampex back then. I never counted. I always got rid of albums that were either poor pressings or music I ...
