| Sumiko Premier MMT Arm VTA? Viridian, just love that deck of cards solution!!!!!!What a time and temper saver. | |
| How do I reduce the overall gain in my preamp ? I put a passive line stage in my tape loop - for casual listening i have remote control also. works fine. When i'm feeling picky about sound i simply flip the switch turning off the tape loop. If you can accept some minimal signal loss (there will... | |
| Amps that will accept wide variety of tubes? Sonic Frontiers SFS40, SFS80, and except for EL34 the SFM160. I not aware if the latest series allowed this. | |
| Bruckner 9th... I'd vote for Lobez-Cobos but both performances are, in fact, very good. Re Guilini, i mentioned this only in passing as it is a somewhat more eclectic performance, very beautiful and broad. As to sound I only have it on LP and cannot comment on th... | |
| Bruckner 9th... If recorded sound is your 1st priority you probably can't do better than Skrowaczwesi on Reference Recordings or Lopez-Cobos on Telarc for the 9th, or Lopez-Cobos on Telarc for the 8th. These are, sound wise, about as good as it gets. I don't have... | |
| Help trying to return to vinyl >classic higher end pre-amp from back in the days when they made them with excellent MC phonostages might be an option<FWIW i still own (17 years now) and use regularily an ARC SP10II. I finally gave up trying to "find a better one" some yea... | |

| Speakers room positioning - diff tricks ? Currently on Audioasylum there is a thread on this subject (room reinforcement)to which David Aiken contributes to a discussion of bass frequencies - his summary is that to position speakers at 1/3 and listening position at 1/3 will tend to help o... | |
| Beautiful, uplifting music... For something appropriate to the day, in view of the loss of the men of the Columbia, i would suggest Faure's Requiem by Herreweghe on Harmonia Mundi. I can think of nothing more achingly beautiful and fitting! | |
| I'm depressed, my system hurts my ears.Please help matt, your creek could well be just allowing you to hear your CD player for the first time. CD players are notorious for producing unpleasant upper midrange glare etc. Thats one reason why so many folks prefer tubes in their players or preamps. I ... | |
| KT 88's....what's the story???? I think that all power tubes can die of sudden unexpected death (you hear a pop - then no sound - you replace the fuse and the tube, sometimes you find you have also blown a grid resistor and need to get it replaced) as opposed to normal death whi... | |
| High end vs internet I think that the shift of interest from 2 channel stereo to HT has killed off the small stereo stores that specialized in high end stuff and were not quick enuf to see HT coming and convert. I only started looking at the internet after i couldn't ... | |
| Best Respighi Pines of Rome If you can find it, Reiner/Chicago on RCA. A Living Stereo LP. | |
