| Is it possible to buy a decent tube amplifier in the $2000-3000 range? Do what I've done - go hybrid. I have a BAT 300xse integrated, 150 into 8 ohms, 300 watts into 4 ohms. Very happy. I had a Pass X150.5 and a BAT VK3i tube preamp. Very happy. | |
| RIP John Bonham Clapton is certainly entitled to his opinion about what was "wrong" about where music was heading, after all, he is "god."I continue to be amazed at how utterly good The Band was. "Life Is A Carnival" is in my will, to be played at my wake. LOUDL... | |
| Thiel Owners vair68robert...I sit approximately 12 feet away when listening in a very tough room acoustically - the left speaker is about 5 feet from a sidewall, the right about 13 feet from a sidewall. At its apex from left to right the ceiling is 17 feet hig... | |
| Mini System I recently bought my 3rd Deepblue (1 version 1 and two 2's) as a gift for a friend. After about a month it just crapped out. Since it was still under warranty I contacted Peachtree, described the situation, and was immediately sent a work order. Q... | |
| Thiel Owners My 3.6's are roughly eight feet apart and 18" from the back wall. I've yet to find that any toe-in delivers any better sonics, so they ain't toed-in. | |
| RIP John Bonham bdp24...Hahahaha! Man, I hope that's true. To this day I still can't watch The Song Remains The Same - makes my skin crawl. One of the worst rock films possible and not the band's finest effort at all. For their best live effort it's How The West... | |
| So how many use MM cartridge and intend to keep it that way ? Hmmm...I have never had a turntable with anything other than an MM cartridge so I have to ask, is there THAT much of a difference? | |
| RIP John Bonham tooblue...Read the news about Charles Bradley as well. Fortunately, thanks to iTunes, of which I'm hardly a fan, I downloaded two albums just the other day. Damn good singer. The first time I heard anything by Chris Whitley he was two years dead... | |
| RIP John Bonham garebear...Zep's manager Peter Grant was a HUGE a-hole but he was also responsible for getting Zep their fair shake of the revenues. (Whether or not that was good for fans is another thing.)Ginger Baker's career has been jazz - lasting far longer ... | |
| RIP John Bonham "Good to great drummer but from what I have read ; a real A hole."By most accounts of his a-holeness, it was driven by his missing being away from home. Its no big secret that the hardships of incessant, lengthy tours often drives people to the ea... | |
| Greatest rhythm sections Black Sabbath had a rhythm section??? | |
| Thiel Owners jafant...Just about anything that supports or is near something electronic in my humble abode rests atop, in, or on a Salamander rack. The piece in the virtual systems photo is the only one not from its Synergy series which I've had for years. I a... | |
| Thiel Owners Jafant...That's a block of maple I had left over from when my previous Salamander rack was about a foot lower. I purchased the block here on the site, they come up from time to time and they're well made - somewhere in the $100 range if I ain't mi... | |
| Thiel Owners Joni Mitchell. Paprika Plains. The last 3 or 4 minutes when Weather Report closes the song. Now that's a test for Thiel bass reproduction. Natural. Taut. Hit the replay button. Can't stop. Ginger Baker. Cyril Davis. Is he in my room?Thiels astound. | |
| Thiel Owners I updated my virtual systems page to show the BAT integrated in place. The speakers are approximately 8 feet apart and about 18" from the back wall. (I actually have a stick marked in increments of six inches.) Like my 3.5's, the 3.6's seem to li... |
