| any good concerts coming up where you live? Saturday I'm headin' on down to the Putamayo World Music Festival in Sedona, with Los Lobos, Zimbabwe's Oliver Mtukudzi and Black Spirits, and Geno Delafose (Louisiana zydeco). Should be fun! | |
| Question on shipping speakers without boxes. Once you get some good solid replacement boxes from Uhaul, go to home depot an get some sheets of foam insulation. Cut them to fill the interstace between the speaker and the inner box wall. It will be professionally packed! | |
| La Scala vs Klipschorn Regarding Marco's setup, I've been up in the Pacific Northwest for about a week and made a point to stop and visit Marco to hear his system. A very enjoyable evening indeed, exposing each other to new music, and just enjoying the wonderful sound o... | |
| Good Semi-Automatic Turntable Tom, just curious, would the "Lifter" work on the configuration of a Teres (for my own use)? | |
| Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why? For broad-based rock'n roll, I can't leave out Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead. He is a great improvisor, can really chant with his bass, plays all over the spectrum, and styles ranging from jazzy funk to polka. I like to listen to him in concert, ... | |
| Basis 2001 Just a little more information - it would be to replace a Linn LP12. It would sit upon a massive steel framed stand. I'm wondering whether this is a SIGNIFICANT step up, or more lateral. | |
| Classe CAP 101 integ amp good match?? In my experience, this amp has very good bass and is fairly detailed, maybe a little on the bright side (listened with Triangle Titus and Linn Tukan speakers). I don't know anything about the monitor audio speakers, but I would recommend speaker t... | |
| Which is the best SET match for Quads 988 ? I'm wondering the same thing! May try hooking my 988's up to a friend's Cary SET's. I'll let you know. One user warned that SET's may arc the quads. Anyone have any experience or know why this would be so? | |
| Convert Bozak Mono Speaker to Subwoofer??? The box is sealed, though removing the midrange driver would make it vented! I'm not sure if it would be better to leave the mid in and allow it to vibrate passively, or to take it out and glue a piece of wood down over the hole (from the inside).... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3 or Pass Labs Aleph 30 I had Titus 202's, and tried them both with a MF A3cr and an Aleph 3. The Aleph definitely sounded better - warmer, more well rounded. | |
| Win Laboratories Phono Preamp Value??? Ivan - yes I'm sure, as I've used it with my low output (0.30 mv) Denon DL103r cartridge with good success. It must provide atleast 70 db of gain. | |
| Win Laboratories Phono Preamp Value??? Just a bit more information. The unit is a simple metal box, about 6" long and 1.5" square, with a paper sticker on the bottom that states Win Laboratories and S/N 1529. No model number. The original owner was a colleague of Dr. Win's, so I'm not ... | |
| Best Integrated Amp for Linn Tukans Eldragon, do you know if the Majik can be used with the active crossovers for the Tukans? That would be a big benny! Also, why is the power delivery 2x when paired with the Tukans? | |
| Best Integrated Amp for Linn Tukans A couple of questions related to the suggestions above. The Naim Naitt is an intruiging option, but I wonder how people generally get around the interconnect problem (i.e. Naims proprietary plugs). Also, in general, does the 30 wpc of the Naitt pr... | |
| Pass Labs Aleph Amps and Tube Preamps I used an Aleph 3 with a Rogue 66 preamp with good success. I spoke with Mark Obrien at Rogue, and although the Aleph has a low input impedence, the 10:1 rule applied with the Rogue and was therefore an acceptable match. |
