| need help choosing line condtioner I live in an apartment and use a 3000W ONEAC isolation transformer. I also have a Tice A/V Solo, but it's not a good idea to plug my amp to it.You can get a *big* isolation transformer in eBay, but it is going to be 220V in for what you want it...... | |
| Interconnects for tube equipment? Georgio, I wouldn't say go 100% Tice, but I *do* have a Melos tube preamp and the run from DAC to pre has improved smoothness sooo much!!! Once I go for a sub I would like to try a more dynamic design from x-over to satellite amp(my speakers have ... | |
| What controls/adjustments are needed for phono pre Chazz, look up Kevin Barrett's phono transcription preamp. It has every equalization curve ever used on a record and two phono inputs. It is a high end preamp for under 1K, and he sells direct.www.kabusa.com | |
| Richard Gray's Power Company Jlambrick, for the money you'd spend to get a *used* RGPC you can find a used isolation transformer like my 3000W (220V in, 110V out) ONEAC beast. Even more, you could get a really big one like the ones used for industrial HVAC units. Getting powe... | |
| Interconnects for tube equipment? I would definitely suggest Tice interconnects. It's two straight 14 ga solid copper cores for the (+) and one for the (-). This design gives very strong bass and clean, articulate highs. For the price George is selling them (1.5m pair @ $137.50) y... | |
| Time to get things straight. A fellow audiophile who is very knowledgeable--and a 1200 owner--e-mailed me once that trying to make people see this fact was like having a conversation with elderly people at an asylum. The lights are on but there's nobody home...Why someone lik... | |
| Time to get things straight. You upgraded to a Michell, Mara? Congratulations!!! Now you need to buid a base with suspension--should be a good project. BTW, I have nothing against JA Michell TTs...I *do* like them. Very solidly built--no glass or particle board...There's all ... | |
| Recommended CD of Cuban music Quote: "Salsa is a popified verion of "el son", it's Cuban-based music for top 40 radio." ABSOLUTELY FALSE. Wonder what Eddie Palmieri would think of your 'truth'...Anyone who wants to find out the truth can buy Larry Harlows's CD (La Raza Latina,... | |

| Recommended CD of Cuban music I forgot this one---if you want a class act, get Gilberto Santa Rosa's "Live in Carnegie Hall." | |
| Recommended CD of Cuban music Do you want recording quality or music? I 'll give you music...But first, salsa is a Latin Caribbean phenomenom--started when mainly the Cubans and P/Ricans got together in NYC. It's hard to make a clear cut distinction, unless you *really* know t... | |
| Salsa and high energy latin jazz album suggestions Start here:"Rythm Machine", by the Fania All Stars. It's available on CD (Columbia Records). Columbia's first attempt at marketing Fania All Stars to the jazz crowd. It was also marketed to Hispanics, so it's a nice blend. The story says that the ... | |
| Recommendations for a phono preamp for MMF5 Quote: "please take p/a's message with a grain of salt as he's *very* biased towards his dd (technics, i think) setup, and always insists its superiority over any other budget table, and many not-so-budget tables. (not that there's anything wrong ... |
