| what kind of audiophile are you ? Type V = Sicko!!!!!!!!!!Lucky for me that we are moving next month & I wont be spending another dime (here on agon) until next year!I normally spend anywhere between $1K & $25K a month on this site.Moving everything I now own & have &a... | |
| Do well-intentioned people move your speakers? My wife moved them once - May she rest in peace!Only kidding, but she did move a 210lb. Eggleston Rosa in our HT system & caught hell for it.I did explain to her that if she ever thought of moving one of "MY" SF Stradavari's that it is a capit... | |
| Heil AMT's - anybody have any experience ? I had a pair in the '80's & loved them.2 way design with 12" bass driver & passive radiator.I can still remember the highs coming from the AMT & miss them.They do appear here every now & then. | |
| What song best describes you or your life? "I'm A Happy Man" - Jive 5 with Eugene Pitt | |
| Can you use the same phone stage w 2 turntables First thing:Fantastic phono stage - I'm listening to the Chicago "Live @ Carnagie Hall" 4 LP set now!You can use 2 or more with each input.I have A VAC Ren. Sig. Mk. II with phono & only use mc cartridges.I have 2 arms on my Verdier La Platin ... | |
| Favorite driving music I once got a ticket for driving my Benz @ 158 mph on the Southern State Parkway in NY while listening to the Eagles "Already Gone"!The trooper wanted to arrest me, but when he saw the other goodies I had in my car - Gave me a ticket for doing 78 m... | |
| Best Koetsu for SME V The Onyx platinum would be my choice.I sold both my SME V5's & am now using it with my 12" Da Vinci Grandezza - It's much more resolving & dynamic than the Urishi - You do get what you pay for. | |
| Room size and floor standing speakers Should be no problem as long as the speakers do not need to be placed too far from the backwall.I have Sonus Faber Stradavari's in my office (12.5' W X 21" L X 8.5' H) & they sound fantastic!You do not want the floorstanding speakers closer th... | |
| How fair is this? I saw the post also - 2 auctions for only 1 item is going to leave someone out in the cold. | |
| Best Amps for B & W 800D speakers The Electrocompainet Nemo's were made to run the 800D's.They put out 600 wpc into 8 ohms & 1.2K wpc into 4 ohms.I just got a pair & they do sound more like tubes than any other SS amps I have heard.Do a google on the Nemo's. | |
| separate Phono Unless you want to spend more $ - the Hovland is a great phono section.You can get more flexibility with a Rhea - especially if using more than one turntable. | |
| Are you at this point?? Me too, yet on the other hand:My amps, pre amp, speakers, front end, cables & p/s are set.My biggest problem is vinyl - I'm a "vinyl junkie"!This month alone - I bought 4 more cartridges, a A to D converter, another phono stage (which I dearly... | |
| Opportunity to buy the best Preamp... but which? I have to agree with Marty & Swampwalker:VAC Renaissance Signature Mk. II with phono.I believe the guy who sold it to me commited suicide (just kidding), but I know he misses it.Sounds & looks are absolutely stunning! | |
| Inbound wire transfer safety? I do it all the time in my business.Very secure & money arrives usually the same day unless international.You will pay a small fee for incoming transfers - check with your bank.Once transfer arrives - wait 24 hours & make sure it's posted ... | |
| best preamps in the 4K-8K range Any VAC Renaissance Signature Mk. II will do the job & more. Find one with the phono section & you're in like Flint!RegardsRichard |
