| good tabletop radio if you can accept mono, try trivoli audio. its am/fm, very good reception and cost about $100. i purchased mine thru audio advisor. | |
| Soliloquy 6.3 with which tube amp? you might try a push/pull with a little negative feedback to control the woofer. the negative feedback made the difference for me in my system (not soliloquy), current alone did not tighten up the speakers to my satisfaction. | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? about 4 years ago i found myself happy with my system, top grade components, musical sound (tubes), and i found that tweaks and other things that were hyped in the mags (rags) did nothing to make my system sound better. so i cancelled my subscript... | |
| Go balanced or unblanced that is the question i have long runs from pre amp to amps. i use unbalanced without any problem w/noise so long as i keep the interconnect away from transformers etc. i had a buzz when i carelessly stuffed some excess interconnect under the output transformers of my ... | |

| Diana Krall New CD i perfer krall in a more intimate setting, as opposed to using a large orchestra approach. i found that the latter detracted from her natural talent which is substantial. but i would hesitate to own the disc, its quite good. | |
| How good is my source? mike, i have a cal alpha and delta - when i ren it thru and audio research sp-10 into a sonic's frontier amp the synergy is excellent, i.e. the pre-amp and amp soften the high end of the cal alpha. i love the sound for casually listening, especial... |
