| Please help value these speakers The Blumenstein Orca 3 speakers sell new for around $800. They would be worth around $400-$500 dollars used.The Rogers and Spendor models of the BBC LS3/5A speakers have had so many different versions that I'm not sure what they are worth. Maybe ... | |
| Vintage threshold IIRC, the MKII version had the optical bias like George mentioned and the "E" series had an upgraded power supply section. | |

| Obscure bands I listened to "Safety In Numbers" and "White Noise" last night. They seem to me, to be a cross between Duran Duran, Kansas and ELO.I really enjoyed both albums. Tidal has more and I plan to listen further. Thanks again for the recommendation. | |
| Best Rock Album of 2016 Just listened to the new Robin Trower album "Where Are You Going To?". Excellent! Man, can that dude play the guitar. Reminded me a lot of the old Robin Trower. Highly recommended.The new Goo Goo Dolls "Boxes" is just okay. I really like them... | |
| Do female audiophiles exist Back in the day, in one of my stores, I had a young woman that worked for me. She was not only an excellent salesperson, but she knew as much about audio as any guy that I've ever meet.She had a great ear and a pretty nice system. | |
| Obscure bands Here’s the reference to Steely Dan that I found about Crack The Sky:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crack_the_Sky#cite_note-autogenerated1-1I think it had more to do with their albums charting on the Billboard 200, than an actual comparison of the b... | |
| Obscure bands Arcam88...thanks for the reference to Crack The Sky. I have never heard of them, but in doing some research, Rolling Stone compared them to Steely Dan, which is my favorite band of all time. So, I am going to have to check them out.A few others:G... | |
| Which is the Better Tonearm - Pro-Ject or Rega? To answer the OP's question, the Rega arm is better than the Pro-Ject arm.The Rega arms are hard to beat for the money. | |

| Obscure bands I love City Boy! I have all of their albums on vinyl. Never heard them even mentioned before on any forum. GREAT band! Several other fantastic obscure bands from that era:TrooperPrismChina CrisisOne of my favorite all time albums is "Red Tape" fro... | |
| How to deal with a 1.0mV LOMC or is it HOMC I'm pretty sure you won't be able to use the SUT. That's just going to be way too much gain and will overload.Depending on how much gain your MM section, (plus the line stage) has, you might be fine with it. I have several carts that are at or a... | |
| Upgrading tubes I think that Rodman's assessment of the various tube's sound is pretty much right on.However, I have found that it really depends on the circuit that the tube is used in and how it's used. I'm a Mullard man, (love that midrange), but in some devi... | |
| Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications? Cerrot...you don't need to use ickstream anymore, if you don't want to. They have added the Tidal app to mysqueezebox.com.You can just add it right onto your Transporter's menu system. | |
