| Have any of you done this i think it's the realization that regardless of what components we buy the difference between listening to recordings and hearing the instruments directly is so great that the best stereo system is often disappointing.in addition, today's high end... | |
| Time for new tubes.. which ones? what are you trying to create sonically ??different tubes have different presentations. | |
| Best system ever this is a philosophical discussion. we all know that there is no answer.so, here's my opinion. the best system was 4 quad esl, 4 quad 15 watt mono amps, a mac c22 preamp and a thorens turntable, ortofon arm and ortofon cartridge.why was this syste... | |
| Two-channel SACD player recommendations? tonyptony:i will specify the components interfaced with it:magnepan 1.6s, vtl deluxe 120 monos, bent audio transformer based passive preamp.the quad is closer to neutral than either lean or warm. the frequency response is well balanced, although n... | |
| Newfound respect for McIntosh i just heard a mac 2101, 100 watt stereo amp driving martin logans. it may be the next amp i buy. | |

| What happened to all the tube amps? there were very few great tube amps produced, so there aren't many available for sale. | |
| What is the best SS Amp and Pre given the trends? i do not like the combination of panel speakers and solid state amps. however, i had the opportunity to audition roger sanders amp he specifically designed for electrostatic speakers.while it is not my cup of tea, it certainly does not exhibit som... | |
| does anyone have experience with mbl and lector ? from the time i posted my original inquiry until now, i received some information about the cd player. i am still considering the player for purchase. i am still interested in a comparison between the mbl and the lector 0.6. seeking comments regar... | |
| CD player wanted $500-$1000 skip the rega, consider a lector 0.6 . there is one for sale on the 'gon. | |
| Any UFC fans out there? i prefer kung fu martial arts movies. | |
| Acoustical Foam one can't generalize about sonic preferences. a dull room with attenuation in the treble may be preferred by some and not by others.this issue has nothing to do with accuracy or "hi fidelity".it is all about achieving one's sonic objectives, whate... |
