| What started you on your audiophile journey . If I had to blame one person for giving me the giddyup down the audiophile path, it would have to be Bob Carver and those crazy Silver Sevens on the cover of some audio magazine. | |
| for Bill Evans fan Lenny, Whats up? I think mine is the only suggestion you didnt take. I feel left out :) | |
| for Bill Evans fan Im not sure if the conversation here is intended to be restricted to vinyl, but if not, Bill Evans The Sesjun Radio Shows is a real gem. | |
| An interesting Digital vs. Analog experience "the price performance ratio is absurd, especially when analog can cost as much as a Greyhound busOrpheus 10, I think the near death experience that vinyl underwent in the 80s - even if it was only perception - served to bring out a sort of milit... | |
| Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias Bill, the first generation Utopias might not spec-up with later generations, but I find them to be a more accommodating speaker in general without sacrificing musicality. If Im not mistaken, I think theyll actually be an easier load for your amp... | |
| An interesting Digital vs. Analog experience "And also with analogue it seems that the more you go up the chain the better it gets. There almost doesn't seem to be a point price wise where there isn't an incremental improvement Analog playback involves electromechanical machinery, the quali... | |
| An interesting Digital vs. Analog experience Yaa! Revolution, Im in! | |
| If you could bring back one great artist that has I would have loved to have seen Sinatra in Vegas. One more time? Absolutely! I thought about Jim Morrison but honestly, how long could we really expect him to stick around? | |
| Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias I love buying things for a song! Looks and specs are impressive. Will they let you audition it in your system? | |
| Tube Rolling -Input vs. Output tubes IMO, input tubes are more critical. The signal is very small while they have it. | |
| Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias I havent heard the ASR Emitter. I like the Utopia series a lot - just wish the newer designs were tube friendly - and think they reward being paired with the best amplification you can afford. The only thing that you have to be careful to avoid, ... | |
| Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias I gave the classifieds a quick look and noticed that there is a GamuT Di150 Dual Mono integrated amplifier for sale. Unless one absolutely needs the flexibility of separates, Ive become a huge advocate of integrated amplifiers as offering the bes... | |
| Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias Hi Washline, the Altos impedance is not really very tube friendly. I would stick to solid state. I havent heard the new Krells but I hated the old Krells with Utopias. A SS Mac should work fine if thats your flavor. I looked at your system pict... | |
| What are you 'TRULY' Looking for in Loudspeaker... A speaker that evokes the same visceral feelings in me that live music does. Also, high efficiency (94db+) and a stable impedance above 6 ohms. Being analytical in my component determinations has not served me well. | |
| Best 300B tube for Cayin 300B amp? Ocenaica, the fact of the matter is that there is no set answer. A while back the choice was clear, if you had the scratch - Western Electric. Now there are several contenders at the top - those mentioned above and a couple of others - as well as ... |
