| Speakers with deep base Eggleston Works Andra II's (haven't heard the III's -- these beging the newer versions are not in your price range).Bob | |
| New reissue of Exile on Main Street Also the new vinyl issue is not mastered by Doug Sax (as some claim); he only cut it (mastered by Stephen Marcussen).Bob | |
| New reissue of Exile on Main Street Stay away from the vinyl -- comes from a 24 bit/44.1khz file and doesn't come close to the original Artisan vinyl. These slabs are too loud, compressed & lack the dynamics of the originals.Bob | |
| McIntosh MC1.2kw Visit http://audioaficionado.org/Quite a few owners there.Bob | |
| Amp Power Conditioner or not? I believe it is important to mention what type amps -- IMO, my tube amps sound the best directly into dedicated outlets whereas, the sources & preamp are into a non-filtered power bar fed from a large isolation transformer (on a dedicated line... | |
| New Eggleston Savoys ? Not to worry, as you have stated, you made the right decision IMO. Congrats & enjoy. I love my Andra II's and had thought of moving up to other manufactuers in the price range +$5-$10K -- but have always come to the conclusion it would be a si... | |

It made a world of difference with the cardas wiring & well worth the $300. "This wiring upgrade... | |

| Go with a tube preamp or not? Just did a shootout between a ARC Ref 3 (1,241 hours) verses a McIntosh C500C/C500T (600 hours) and to quote the owner of the ARC Reference 3, "the C500C/C500T trumped my ARC without question. There was nothing positive to say in it's defense."Hon... | |

| anyone try the Microtech blackburn E813CC? They have closed down -- just checked & my order still shows pending from a month ago. I called & no one answered the phone & emails went unanswered. The web site is still up.They were worth a try, IMO. Only folks who had shipments pri... |
