| Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57? ^^^ Here's an interesting review:http://hometheaterreview.com/quad-33-preamp-and-303-amp-reviewed/ | |
| Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57? One of the experiences that "hooked" me into high end audio was the day I walked into a stereo store in Sherman Oaks, Calif. and heard John Coltrane's tenor sax flowing out of a side room. I asked the guy at the counter who was playing the sax? H... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... ^^^ You're welcome Al, and quite deserving.j_damon ...There is no excuse for the cantilever to be skewed. The distributor has to make it right. and I think they will. I'd refer them to this thread for starters. The ART-9 has a lot of fans here a... | |
