| Wish List For Vinyl Pressings Kingdeezie, I've never seen "before these crowded streets" on vinyl. I would also like to see the title "Under the Table and Dreaming" as well... One would think RCA might find some value in pressing these.Happy Listening! | |

| NOS Tubes In My Aesthetix Calypso My experience with the Calypso over the years is not so much trying to reduce noise from tube choice as much as it is enjoying the music, and to a smaller degree in appreciating the outstanding performance/value of the way it integrates in the sys... | |
| best powercord for atma-sphere amps MA 1 ...everything has an effect, from the source, be it mains or music format. I would agree that the idea of trying to basically correct with wire is fundamentally incorrect as a purist approach to true high fidelity reproduction but, to dismiss its ... | |
| NOS Tubes In My Aesthetix Calypso For me RCA 5751 black plate triple mica's in place of 12AX7 are the answer with either Amperex 7308 Orange Globe (gold pin) or Telefunken 6922/6DJ8 (low noise) are the whip for my tastes. Buy'em once and they'll just about last ya a life time... s... | |

| best powercord for atma-sphere amps MA 1 Elrod Signature cords on my MA-1 Silver Edition/Coincident Total Eclipse combo and it did improve bass in depth and firmness. What a happy surprise it was, and well worth the money. | |
| Rhea Noise Well just to add some perspective... I still have the Rhea and I still find it most satisfying. Soon the Rhea will be back from Jim White and friends as a Signature upgraded version. It has been a long wait and a lot of pennies banked in the cooki... | |
| Opinions: What Power Cord for Aesthetix Gear? ...It has been a long time and much has changed but, I have not traded in the Aesthetix Calypso or Rhea and the power cords that now reside are the Silent Source Signatures. Not as inexpensive as I had once hoped but, as lightly used cables, and a... | |
| Amp for Coincident Super Eclipse Jax2, Please except my apologies, I meant nothing by including you and Atmasphere in my comment to support Westborn's query, and do realize much has been said about the combination of these two fine pieces of equipment, with good reason. Good sugg... | |
| Amp for Coincident Super Eclipse Matching the right amp to the right speaker is by far one of the greatest opportunities for that magic synergy in a Hifi system IMHO. Like the right cartridge to a tonearm it can make or break the reproduction of beautiful music. Being the "best" ... | |
| Lyra Helikon upgrade A great choice. I feel your on the right track and will most certainly be getting exactly what your looking for. The Benz Lp having a line contact stylus will also give you the benefit of not compromising a glowing full body for lack of detail, ai... | |
| Amp for Coincident Super Eclipse I have had Coincident Total Eclipse Speakers for many years now and have run them with Atma-Sphere MA-1 OTL's primarily, yet have sampled countless other amps for the experience of it and to evaluate the amps performance mostly, not the usual audi... | |
