Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers.
bdp24 ...In an earlier post, I mentioned that I used a pair of "loaner" Atmosphere 60 watt mono amps for a couple of years to drive the Acoustat Four's I used to own. Then I switched to an ARC Classic 60.  The ARC produced better base, the Atmosph... 
Audio Research CD7's 6H30 tube rolling
I've been using my ARC CD-7 since it was new. I sent it back to the factory several years ago to have it upgraded to the "SE" version that upgraded the power supply. Here's how to make an already great sounding CD-7 sound much better: 1.  Get the ... 
Help, my system sounds lifeless!
Its one of my pet peeves.  A guy comes into the room with a problem. He asks for suggestions on how to solve the problem. He gets tons of sincere answers ... and doesn't have the common courtesy to just say a simple "thank you," but doesn't even a... 
Tube dampeners on ARC gear ... FREE TWEAK
^^^ Yes, they are wonderful recordings ... and many are offered at bargain prices on Ebay. Funny that audiophiles are paying $30 to $50 for an audiophile pressing when for a few bucks they can experience the HM sound.

Charles ...Although I have quite a few recordings of the MJQ, I agree that his time with MJQ wasn't Jackson's best efforts. Too commercial for my tastes. I'll get the Roost recordings together and see how they sound burned onto CD. :=)My favorite ...

Charles ...On that Montgomery Brothers CD I sent you ... I listened to that last night as well. What I could clearly detect was that it was recorded from two different sessions. I discussed this album with my friend Robert, who knows more about re...

Charles ...When I burned the Zoot Sims CD for you, I also burned one for myself.  I played it tonight in its entirety.  I find it pretty amazing that a mono LP that is almost 60 years old can be that involving and have such great sound. Sim's big,...
