| Best finger food for audiophile listening Why is BONG all caps? Is is an abbreviation for something? I always thought it was some kind of asian word... | |
| Best tubed full-function preamp with remote VAC has all these things. If it doesn't have to be tube, Ayre K1XE is really good. | |
| Herron VTSP1A comparison to CAT Ultimate MKII Did you notice that someone is selling an ultimate II here on the 'gon for not so much money? Converted up from an ultimate I. | |
| Ayre V-5xe/K-5xeMP or Modwright KWA-150/LS-100? Also, both companies offer top notch customer service. You can't go wrong in that department with either. | |
| a solid state amp that is recessed in the treble I have the Quad 57's in a "second system", and haven't wanted to spend to much on other components. After reviewing the experience of others, I found that the VTL Tiny Triodes pair very well (tube amps), and the Bedini 25/25 pairs well for solid s... | |
| Ayre V-5xe/K-5xeMP or Modwright KWA-150/LS-100? I've had both brands in my system. Overall impression: both excellent. Ayre more truth to delicate microdeta, maybe a tad bit more spatially resolving, but the MW had more oomph, more meaty, stronger footing. I found that MW amp should definitely ... | |
| Ayre, wow I agree with you Albert. The C1's are really great! | |
| do martin logans improve with good power cables? Definitely improved my Quad 988's! | |
| Price of Avalon Eidolon Diamonds I think Daniel gives an accurate assessment. I bought a pair from a dealer in pristine condition for $19k, and felt that I had paid a bit higher than I should. | |
| Is the Classe Cap-101 enough for Totem Arros? I've heard that the Plinius "100" series is far behind the "200" series. An owner of both told me he would rather have the 8200 than the 9100. I don't know what goes best with Totem. | |
| Is the Classe Cap-101 enough for Totem Arros? I had a CAP-101 once. I'd call it underwhelming. You would do much better with a Plinius 8200, or others... | |
| Help Me select Mini CPU speed doesn't matter, RAM does. A solid state drive is said to help. Buy the bottom of the line mini and have it shipped to Other World Computing (OWC). You set up an order with them in advance and give Apple the OWC mailing address with an RM... | |
| Happy Record Store Day I don't get it. Why would someone go shopping for records on a day when the store is going to be swamped, waits just to get in, more waits to check out. ???????????????? | |
| Tube amp for Reference 3A - SET or push-pull? I had a pair of the newer i versions. Great speakers. But I sold them. I wanted speakers that could be run with my Quicksilver 300b amplifiers, which have very hefty transformers, and this was not the case. In a 12x14 room I got plenty of bass, bu... | |
