| Echole vs Argento vs Kubala-Sosna? I hope this is in keeping with the spirit of this thread, even if it doesn't specifically address Samfreeman's question.Has anyone listened to the 'Sine Kosmos' line of cables, and do they belong in the elite class of the above mentioned cables? | |
| Top Luxman integrated - 509u or 590Aii? If you have only one (digital) source, I'd like to recommend that you include the Luxman MQ-88 in your considerations. | |
| I need an amp, can any recommend? It's been a long time since I auditioned the 104/2's but I seem to remember liking them quite a bit with Bryston amplifiers, of which there is currently a nice selection for sale on Audiogon. Several of the above recommendations also sound promisi... | |
| Lost that "Tube Magic". Can you help? I have to throw in with conrad johnson. I currently have both a Premier 11 (old stuff) and a Premier V (really old stuff). It's difficult to articulate the cj sound. These amps are not extolled for their neutrality, but at the end of the day, to m... | |
| Van L Speakerworks Quartet I haven't been to his shop for a few years now, but I can tell you that John has been working hard on these for a long,long...long time. Based on the various incarnations of the Quartet that I have heard, I'm eager to stop in for a listen. | |
| Thoughts on New Audio Frontiers My dear pals,Never mind, forget it. No,no - it's too late now. I went and did it myself - without you - all by myself... Ha! | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Rectifier Hello everyone and thanks again for sharing your thoughts. I'm giving the SS rectified version a whirl. I have no doubt that on an even playing field, the tube alternative would be the way to go for me. The power ratings are a big issue here and I... | |
| Tube vs. Solid State Rectifier Thanks for your thoughts and advice guys. Based on the response I got from my "New Audio Frontiers thread" I didn't even try to get specific. I appreciate it. | |

| Esoteric A-100, anyone hear it yet? Really? Nobody? | |
| SET the best? Thank's Ralph. Does this apply to SETs specifically or to any low powered tube amp. The amp I'm considering is a 25W/ch 300b push-pull. That's Focal's lowest recommended rating for an amplifier to drive my speakers, but I've read advice (might hav... | |
| SET the best? For clarity, I'm asking about speaker mods only. | |
| SET the best? Hi Ralph,I'm going to acknowledge, before I even ask, that this question is likely an example wrongful thinking. Many people use tubes with speakers that were probably not designed with tubes in mind - in my case JM Lab Mini Utopias. My question i... | |
| Passive preamp vs. powered You all make good points. Ralph, I think that's a very interesting observation - that the retrieval of ambient information effects the perception of truthfulness relating to imaging. |
