| new to tuners The Marantz ST-6000 is a great bang for the buck tuner. Less than $300 thru Audio Advisor, even has its own remote. Good luck. | |
| Is it Audio, or is it Art? Trelja, I don't agree that this hobby has "become about status and spending....". I think there was always a % that bought based on what status it appeared to give them. In my youth I remember seeing/hearing systems comprised of JBL Hartsfield,Par... | |
| McIntosh - is it that great? Porziob: Single Ended Triodes in the 21 Century! Who'da thunk it? People vote with their pocketbooks so in looking at how well McIntosh is doing, I'd say they got elected. If they don't get your vote, that's fine. I think they are aware of the tra... | |
| CLASS A AMPLIFIERS What caught my eye in the Stereophile measurements was paragraph 3 where they state it's a 935 watt amp continuous, almost 30db. It doesn't put out 1870 wpc into 4 ohm or 3740 into 2 ohms continuous. "However at it's rated power of 600 wpc, which ... | |
| CLASS A AMPLIFIERS Unsound, I remember having a conversation with Jon Soderberg, formerly with Threshold and now a top repairman for the older amps. He told me that on the SA-1 that I was actively pursuing that it would double in power into 4 ohms but that the Class... | |
| Big beautilful tube amp I'll second Velo62's recommendation of Art Audio. Their Symphony and Diavolo in polished stainless steel, (looks like chrome), look great at night plus they have an antique crystal that lights up a pretty blue for each channel. As a bonus, they so... | |
| Your 3 favorite serious low end recordings Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition has some pretty low organ notes on it and, believe it or not, the soundtrack to Titanic, specificly "My Heart Will Go On". It has some sub 20hz on it. Well, you asked for 3 so I'll throw in my first fav, Purp... | |
| Just moved - sound destroyed What caught my eye in reading your plea was that the Blue Circle was causing the breaker to trip. For a cheap experiment, buy a long extension cord at Home Depot and plug it into a different circuit, actually get one long enough and try several di... | |
| Alternative after Soundlab. Horns? Heil Tweeters? After 8 years with planars, still have Maggies, I am enjoying single driver speakers paired with SET tube amps. The Omega Super 3 does vocals and acuoustic with less coloration than I heard in many top box speakers. I'm currently trying Omegas Ape... | |
| Pink Floyd concert DVDs The newest release date for Pulse is Jan 17. It's never been released on DVD, the ones you see for sale are bootleg copies of either a VHS or your Laser. Don't know about DSOT. | |
| 3 great choices I would think the 352/2200 synergy would be great. I've used my 2200 with the MC1000's and also with my SET's. It's very quiet and has an excellent volume control. Good luck. | |
| Tube amp warm up How does it sound to you after 5,10,30, or 60 minutes? | |
| Cartridge for SME IV.V I have a Koetsu Urushi on my IV.Vi. It was my first Koetsu and there was a lot of expectation. Jaw dropped when the first notes came out. | |
| Tonearm for Sota Saphire SME V as mentioned and my favorite the SME IV.Vi. | |
| 300B tube recommendation for SET amp? Hi Larryi,The trannies were the Acrosound, not sure of model #, and the amp was pushpull. Vu's amps have a beautiful sound to them. He told me he does make single ended but the price jumps to 20k or more because it's much harder to make a transfor... |
