| You know you're an audiophile if-- You're looking at homes with a Realtor. Not only do you envision the placement of your audio gear in every home you visit, but you walk around what would be the listening area of each home clapping your hands to test the acoustics. | |
| Need Advice on a Low End CD Player Giant Killer Don't forget the used market. Ebay is a good source. Look for a used Kyocera that's in good shape. They were built back in the 80's. This looks like a good one:http://www.ebay.com/itm/KYOCERA-DA-610-CD-PLAYER-Superb-Cosmetic-Condition-100-WORKING-... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Fleib ...I only have one tonearm and it doesn't have a headshell. So, swapping cartridges is out of the question for me. My turntable (Well Tempered original model) is difficult to set up properly, so that's another problem. So, if anyone is in th... | |
| Sunfire Classic Tube Preamp or ARC SP14? I had the SP-14 in my system for many years and enjoyed it a lot. At the time, I had Accustat IV electrostatic panels all driven by either a pair of Atmosphere 60 monoblocks or an ARC Classic 60. There were times, usually late at night, or early m... | |
| Is Vinyl Worth It Everytime I play Dean Martin's "Dream With Dean" (original pressing), Jo Stafford's "Ballad of The Blues," or Norman Luboff's "But Beautiful," I know why I love vinyl so much. I'd like to hear the digital setup that will do what these records will... | |

| Good sounding Deutsche Grammophon recordings This is a wonderful thread. Why wonderful? Because it points out how many music lovers post on this site. I'm talking about music lovers vs equipment freaks. I agree on the "tulip" DGs. Most of them sound really good. And speaking of the Mercury's... | |
| Audio Research PH6 Phono Stage - How is it? What are ARC PH-7's and 7-SE's going for these days on the used market? I've had both in my system for lengthy periods of time. The "SE" is better than the non-upgraded one, but both were very musical. Using the PH-8 now, and its killer. these pho... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Speaking of mono ... I have tons of mono jazz and vocal recordings from the 50s. I was really impressed by how well the AT-OC9 MK III played mono records. It just seemed to get a lot more information out of those mono grooves than other cartridges... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Been running my ART-9 at 100 ohms. What are other ART-9 owners doing??Thanks ... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... The AT50 is just too low of an output for my phono. The ART-9 is just right. The other night I put on one of those early stereo demo recordings I spoke about in an earlier post for my cynical, golden-eared friend, Robert. The first cut is a record... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Okay, here we are at about 30-40 hours on the new ART-9. At this point, readers of all of my previous posts on this cartridge can forget everything I said. Why? Because the cartridge at this point has far surpassed all I said before. This cartridg... | |
| Recently heard the Ocos speaker cable. .. I have a pair of Ocos cables in my bedroom system. They used to be in the mains system but were replaced there a long time ago. Perfectly fine for a BR system though. | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? My wife told me in no uncertain terms that if I brought home one more piece of electronics she'd leave me. That was in 1999. I hardly miss her at all anymore. | |
