Musical Fidelity is really makin me mad
Laughed seeing the first reply of Jmcgrogan2's--so true! One of the reasons I stopped subscribing to Stereophile was Tellig's Musical Fidelity fanboy column and the tons of adverts for them in each issue. Can see it now--thirty cases of Scotch in ... 
Happy Record Store Day
I support 3 different record stores in NJ all year round. I go to them usually once a month and always walk away purchasing about $100.00 at each store. Record store day is about promoting the store so they can make a profit, and if in doing so th... 
Mythologies on MoFi - Something wrong? ?
Thanks for the clarification MoFi, as usual you da man on MoFi stuff. You're right, it's a Gain 2, my bad! Serial number 5330 so maybe the latter number explains why my copy isn't the greatest, I dont know. System it's played on is a TW Akustic Ra...

Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000
Thanks Whart for the info and your assessment of the Joule seems spot on, which is why I'm looking at the Coincident. 
Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000
Thanks guys for you replies to my question. And no Charles1dad, I don't assume it would be soft due to tubes but was really wondering about a tube I'm not familiar with (the 101D). I have tubes in my present linestage and phono preamp ,except for ...

Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000
Can any of you owners comment on whether the CSL is an appropriate preamp for rock music? I listen to chamber and classical (have many old RCA Shaded and White dogs and Mercury Living Presence LP's), jazz, a little New Age but primarily rock. Or i... 
Townes vinyl reissues?
Tomato has had some really great LP's. I have Albert King's "King Albert" LP on the Tomato label, great performance and great sound. 
Mythologies on MoFi - Something wrong? ?
Strat, Same as you, I have a lot of MoFi's and love them all but my brand new, opened for the first time copy of Santana's first eponymous album on MoFi was the same as your Patricia Barber album, dull, lifeless, very low in level. The Santana was... 
PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better?
I think Bigkidz hit the nail on the head. Whether you like PMC or Salk, it's possible to make either one sound good or bad by using ancillary equipment not suited to them. And it's just as possible for a $15,000.00 preamp and $25,000.00 amp to mak... 
PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better?
As to why I would choose the Salk's, a number of things come into play. As Rja mentioned, the customizability of components and finishes is one reason. The fact that I am getting a well thought-of high end speaker at direct sale without a middle m... 
PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better?
Rja, very true. I just ordered a pair of Soundscape 8's from Jim, and was thinking of upgrading the capacitors in the tweeter position. Jim told me he thought it would be a waste of money to upgrade the other caps in the crossover (mids and woofer... 
What is a better route, tube or SS preamp?
And here you guys thought all that hair was to look cool. It was to insulate their ears against Marshall amps on a volume of 11. 
Duelund CAST silver a $50,000 Upgrade?
After posting, I realized it could sound confusing. The $765.00 was for the Mundorfs. The Duelunds were way more, into the thousands of dollars!
