| Idealism, Audio and Lost Youth Since I started to get into audio in my teens,I've always thought whatever system I've had sounded great,until I upgraded or got something new. I bought my Sansui integrated in 1978, and it sounded infinitely better than what I had before. In 1984... | |
| Any Amps with Volume control?? There are power amps that have volume controls. Many are professional ones, like the very clean Alesis RA100. Pro power amps like Peavey, QSC,Carvin and many others also have volume controls. I have an Adcom GFA535L with volume controls, but they ... | |
| How did U get into this expensive hobby? When I was 15 (1966) I had my 1st job and bought my 1st record player, so I wouldn't have to use my dad's anymore. I bought a mono Admiral with a flip up top. Ooooh, that sounded great. Probably when I was 16 or 17, I bought an Olson stereo amp ki... | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations I recommend the Anthem Pre1L, which I have and love, or the pre 2l, which I had at one time. You should be able to find the pre1L for under $600 used, and the Pre2l for under $800 new. | |
| John Lennon It was 20 years ago today...But the real celebration should be 60 years ago when John came into this world. We should celebrate his life and work. I guess that Yoko Ono isn't a lot of people's favorite, but she said that we should celebrate John's... | |
| Audiolab 8000S I have seen the Audiolab new @ $549 and demo @ $439. Apparently all Audiolab products are going to be discontinued. No opinions on sound quality. | |
| affordable tube preamp-AE-3 vs. Pre1L? I had a Anthem pre2L for a while which I liked. It had a silver faceplate and a remote, and I really wanted a black unit. I sold it and picked up a new Pre1L for $500, and I couldn't be happier. It's just a real sweet and accurate preamp. And I re... | |
| Most reliable equipment manufacturers Actually my Adcom power amps just keep on going. And I have to disagree with Audionut, Mac amps are beauties. | |
| Your Listening chair I have a solid oak adirondack chair, which I bought unfinished and stained black to match my equipment, speakers, and rack, in my own listening room (no waf). And I bought a small pillow for a beach lounge chair from Pier 1 . I find this very comf... | |

| why so much Anthem? Hey Mattman. I just purchased the Anthem Int 2 about 2 weeks ago, and I am very happy with it. Only problem I have is with the fit of the cover screws. Mine was shipped right from SF's distribution center here in Western N.Y. I also have the Anthe... | |
| feelings on Klipsch subs for audio systm I have the Klipsch KSW12, with the 12" driver. I use it with Klipsch RB5's. It actually blends quite well, and I can get some pretty puchy, deep, scary bass. I tried the LF10 with the RB5's at a dealer, and I thought it was amazing, but out of my ... | |
| Rack mount preamps for cheap I have some suggestions. You used to be able to get some rack ears from Adcom for their preamps, like the GTP400 etc.Also, you may be able to find a rackmount Bryston, but it's gonna' cost a bit more. Also look for some older B&K preamps which... | |
| Tubed pre-amp for solid state amp? I have a Golden Tube SEP1-se I use and bi-amp with an Adcom 535 and GFA545II. In my other system I have an Anthem Pre1l wich I have used with the Adcoms. It's a great preamp, and you could probably get a new one (there's still a few around) for $7... | |
| Sonic Frontiers, what is going on?? I've purchased an Anthem Amp1 and Pre1L this year, both are made by Sonic Frontiers. I just love them. The Amp1 came with a silver faceplate, and I wanted a black faceplate. I contacted SF a few months back about getting a black faceplate. I was t... |
