| Von Schweikert VR4JR & Tube Amp??? Pawlowski6132My experience shows that the area above the drop ceiling and between the floor joists acts like a drum. The area is hollow above the panels. The bass becomes boomy in there and is magnified. Insulating above the drop ceiling makes a b... | |
| Preamp recommendations for Pass Labs Aleph 30 amp Mthomas.Which model did you have? Some models are very expensive, so I hope your talking about their cheapest one. Are they very neutral sounding. That is what I got tired of in the long run with the Cary/AES preamp. I realize I like a clear neutr... | |
| How do Adcom power amps sound? Great! The Adcom amps are excellent and there is excellent synergy with PSB Stratus mini. Get the mark II version of either the 545 II (100w/ch) or the 555 II (200w/ch). I had the 545 II and it is very powerful. I almost bought the same speakers b... | |
| Is the Jolida jd 100 as good as the dealers claim? "The Jolida requires tube rolling, the right aftermarket PC, and other tweaking to properly evaluate it."Foster, I didn't mean to tap your turntable, but these are my experiences. I have had their amps and worked in an audio salon representing the... | |
| Final ditch effort to improve my sound. Pls. help I use a Cary cd-308 CDP with an Audio Refinement Pre-5 and AES-DJH (Cary) preamps. Sounds great with both, but the speed of the AR mates the best in my system. Amp is Pass Labs Aleph 30. | |
| Review: Audio Art Cable IC-3 Interconnect I'm intrigued with the LAT gold/silver interconnects and cable. I will have to check them out. Siltech does the same thing and I agree they sound warm, full of body, yet detailed.I have been considering the AR multi-2 as well. I have the pre-5 and... | |
| Signal Cable -- High End Generic? I remember reading somewhere that signal cable was bright. I thought about them a few years back but it deterred me because of it. You seem to have a problem in this area anyways. | |
| Home theater center channel decision to make. You deffinitely get more info in movies in the center than L&R. On the otherhand if your not a videophile and don't have much multichannel music it may not matter. In movies the purpose of the center speaker is to lock the dialogue in the cent... | |
| Top Ten Interconnects of all time... I second the PBJ. An amazing interconnect for cheap. | |
| Pass Labs or First Watt Aleph J? I just saw a photo and the inside looks like an Aleph 3 with the J-fet front end in a Aleph 30 chassis. I looks like it only has 4 output mosfets per channel instead of 6 (like the 30), and 1/2 as many caps as the 30, which is what the Aleph 3 had... | |
| Your Favorite Top 10 tuners all time i agree with Timo (the first entry). If you like the B&K TS-108 you have to like the Fanfare FT-1. It is the same tuner as the B&K with remote and balanced outputs added. Look at them side by side. They are both made in Buffalo, NY. The TS... | |

| Best Find Ever??? My find is not something a bought at a steal but a little known audiophile piece I picked up. I bought a B&K TS-108 tuner. I listened to it in a shop selling used audio equipment. It sounded great so I bought it for $100. I did research and fo... | |
| Jolida JD100S and JD100H? I thought the "s" sands for silver. The older ones had a black chassis and silver face, while the new ones are all silver. Call Mike a Jolida, he is very approachable. | |
