| What should I upgrade next? I would replace the speakers. I have noticed a trend in the Audio magazines which have recommended systems, they often have $1000 - $2000 integrated amps driving speakers that cost $3000 - $5000. The speakers (and how they integrate into your room... | |

| From tubes to solid state I just went from tubes (Rogue Magnum 120) to solid state (Plinius SA100 MKIII) driven by Rogue Magnum 99 pre and I can tell you the state is very solid indeed. The Plinius amp is very tuneful, nuanced, defined and neutral. The Rogue in comparison ... | |
| Innersound ESL amplifier - good choice? I have finally decided on a Plinius SA100 MKIII amplifier and have listened for only 1 day. I can tell you the raves about this amp are justified in my opinion. Starting with the high end, it is very open and highly nuanced with no edge and (in my... | |
| Maggie choices help I read in one of the trade magazine from about 2-3 years ago that the 1.6 was better than the 2.7 (not 2.6). I think he preferred the 2.7 tweeter but overall the 1.6 was better. Sorry I cannot get more specific but, being a Maggie owner I remember... | |
| Thoughts on Manley Stingray? I owned one for a while and it was very solid. It had a very nice tone, exceptional really. What it did really good too, was to focus in on intruments very nicely. Everything had a nice glow (glow is too strong a word) but it sounded neutral at th... | |
| Audiogoners-some musical recommendations Two finds, that I am very happy with are:Ida - Will You Find Me?Lambchop - Is a WomanBoth of these albums are a little mellow, with a nice mix of instruments, and ever changing in their structure. I especially like Ida. Both of these are real find... | |
| Best Jazz Vocalists - Standard Songs Jeannie Bryson, (Dizzie Gillespie's illegitimate daughter) has a CD of Peggy Lee tandards called: Some Cats Know, it is worth a listen. Very nice, while not a classic IMO (it is slightly pop sounding) it is very well done with sincerity and convic... | |
| Which phono preamp? I have read that the Rogue phono section is almost as good as the $900 EAR phono section. I have the Rogue and it sounds good to me. The phono is one of the reasons I bought it because the price was only $400 extra. | |
| Cowboy Junkie Fans I like the Cowboy Junkies very much, very nice guitar and I like Margo as well, She reminds me of the Portishead singer (or vice versa). If you are a Cowboy Junkies fan and like guitar, try their first album Whites Off Earth Now, it may be their b... | |
| Please explain Mulholland drive? I have no idea, but I loved it anyway. The Directing and Production was almost as good as Hitchcock in quality. | |
| VTL TL2.5preamp worth buying? I have seen them for $800 in Audiogon and if the rave reviews are correct, I bet it would be a steal. My biggest problem with VTL is that their stuff breaks, it can be a pain if it happens to you. You should probably go for it for that price.It wo... | |
| Question: Does ATC have the best midrange driver? If someone has heard the ATC speakers they should voice an opinion. I do not read Audiogon for what is often speculation and getting close to gossip. If you are considering these speakers tweekerman, by all means do yourself a favor and listen if ... | |
| Question: Does ATC have the best midrange driver? I have listened to the ATC flagship speaker ($15000, I forget the number) many times at a friends house and it is one of the nicest setups I have ever heard. The music just floats around the speakers in a fashion that had me calling them "Quads th... | |
| best 100- 200 used interconnect thank you everyone,It is amazing so many people (all with different systems) and so many different cables. The only cable I have tried is the LAT and it is nice but I still had Nordost in the system and could not really tell. It was a little smoot... |
