| What is your opinion of single driver speakers I’m also with the direction of observations stated. Accepting a system presents only an impression of musical performance —think “illusion engine”, to borrow from Dick Olsher’s article of something like that title— then minimal is what has worked ... | |
| Tube preamp options After ten years of delight in a majestic point to point wired, outboard dual mono p/s Croft preamplifier I tried a TVC. I was shocked by the in room presence of music and the space of recordings. If that's what you're after, try a different princi... | |
| Great classical pianists @chowkwan Fabulous, I can only imagine how wonderful to be there in Dallas. You have inspired me to check; she will play in London in May the Bach / Busoni Chaconne and more, in the very same hall I heard Lang Lang play --like a well oiled machi... | |
| Great classical pianists As indicated by others, there are so very many. I saw Lang Lang play at The Barbican, London, a few months ago, and thought him impressively mechanical yet unmusical and without soul. You might enjoy the wonderful Spanish player, Alicia de Larro... | |
| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? For inexpensive, you might consider Gustard U18 ($500). In my system, it delivers powerful, clear, dynamic analogue sounding music via tube DAC (Abbas 2.4SE+). Some serious Head Fi people reported U18 nicer sounding than much costlier Mutec MC3. I... | |
| Audio Note Power Amps minor correction; it was a J2 not later model SIT 3 that I compared with my Yamamoto A-06-3.......the J2 was borrowed, from a composer / studio producer friend, who also has a Yamamoto! | |
| Audio Note Power Amps I compared a SIT 3 with my Yamamoto A-06-3. The SIT is impressive, it separated information precisely, neutrally, and powerfully. The Yamamoto is very close to all of that, yet it also communicates a rich soul that kept —and keeps— me listening to... | |
| Best Bang for the Buck Upgrade if you are happy with your turntable --if you have one-- or other front end, try replacing stock RCA phono sockets for WBT NextGen silver and convert RCA plugs on your front end IC cable(s) to ETI research silver link RCA for a startling uplift i... | |
| A question of metal type; the value of matching RCA phono plugs to sockets ? Yes, do away with connectors ! I just chickened out on hard-wiring solid silver phono IC directly to my RIAA stage board because the underside of the PCB would have been difficult to access, and knowing the constructor carefully voiced the unit, I... | |
| A question of metal type; the value of matching RCA phono plugs to sockets ? Thank you for all responses, and Franken-oldhvymec, for much valued reminders. | |
| A question of metal type; the value of matching RCA phono plugs to sockets ? please ignore misplaced apostrophe | |
| How important is the pre-amp? As noted above, transformers seem key. After ten years’ pleasure from a valve phono-line stage preamp I ordered a TVC yesterday after a months trial in my system. With high efficiency loudspeakers and an SET listening to LP’s and FM radio, strippi... | |
| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. here is another +1 for ESS rebuilt Quad ESL 57's; at low volume evening listening levels they bathe you in sound...... (and Townshend super tweeters with 57's open up spatial presentation and a little more of everything) | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters correction, for Quad 57 panels, they work ! | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters these complement (rebuilt ElectroStatic Solutions') Quad ESL 57's adding greater sense of space, front to back spatial depth (a limitation of these wonderful speakers), extension of treble and bass performance (the 88 - 89dB efficiency rebuilds d... |
