| Honest Vintage Tube Repair - SoCal Try Bill at www.glasssoundlab.com. He is in Cypress. Excellent work and very reasonable price. | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers Cello, Apogee, Micro Seiki, to name a few | |
| Cary SLP98P not working with Audio Research VT100 I had a similar problem with SLP-98P F1. It worked fine when hooked up to a CJ tube amp but it kept shutting down my Mark Levinson amp. | |
| Aleph 3 - Its 2013, are they still awesome ? I am with Stringreen here. I've tried the Aleph 0, 2, 3, and 5 based on the glowing reviews but never really warmed up to any one of them. They sounded pretty good with the right speakers but nowhere near as good as some of the reviews claimed. As... | |
| Soundsmith re-tips received today Justlisten,Which level of rebuild did you choose for the AQ7000? AQ 7000 remains one of my all time favorites and I also got one that needs to be rebuilt.I'd appreciate your reply | |
| The Audio Research Reference 10 is here $30k No thanks, I will wait for the Reference 20 MKII, which should be available sometime next year for $50K | |
| Levinson 23.5 - I think I need a new toy. If it ever requires a service, it won't be so cheap anymore. | |
| Opinion on Mark Levinson 533h amp Upgrade1394: I find your comment on the build quality of 500 series 2 steps lower than the older 400 series interesting because I think the build quality of the 400 series was 2 steps lower than those of the 300 series. I also thought the sound qu... | |

| Micro Max 282 vs. Exclusive EA-10 Never heard the EA-10 but having owed both Max 282 and 237 multiple times, I'd say it is one of the worst sounding tonearms I have heard. Bright and sterile would be the right words to describe the sonic character. I would've still kept them if th... | |
| Bach: Six Suites Unaccompanied For Cello All three in the list are indispensible classics for the Cello Suites in stereo. You can't do without any of them. I'd buy all. | |
| Mcintosh C-2300 first impressions What you need is all NOS Telefunken ECC803s (only NIB and NOS will do). You also need around 10,000 (or better yet 20,000) hours of break-in time and $10,000 power cord to make the C-2300 to sing. Until then, you haven't heard its true potential. | |
| Mark Levinson No. 334 vs 23.5 Have you tried fixing the big solid state amps or complex digital gears such as a transport and a DAC without schematics? If you know of a tech who can fix a Levinson No.360s dac and a NO.336 amp, please share it with us. Reality is they are impos... | |
| Mark Levinson No. 334 vs 23.5 Absolutely agree with testpilot. ML is what got me into this hobby in the first place and I still have a softspot for it, but ever since Harman bought Madrigal, their service policy has been one of the worst I have ever seen (and that's saying a l... | |
| Classe DR-2 vs Classe DR-3 Having owned DR-2, DR-3, DR-3B, DR-3VHC, I can confidently say they are nice amps with abaility to drive tough speaker loads. That said, compared to Mark Levinson ML-2 they sound grainer and more electronic. Better yet are the Pass Aleph amps, whi... |
