Two words: Kimber Hero... Happy Listening! 
Rhea Noise
Dan_ed, I'm in agreement with the comments on tube rush. I find the same true with my Rhea. For me though when someone denounces tubes totally for use in phono amplification as Rauliruegas did, I have a problem understanding it. Rauliruegas, my po...

Rushton, I'm afraid we might be birds of a feather in that more than not when my area Hifi group gets together it is predominantly a social gathering not unlike many (none) classical music concerts these days. I find the friendships great and the ... 
Rhea Noise
Rauliruegas, I'm curious... If vacuum tube phono amps are so inferior for the reproduction of vinyl sourced music than why is it that vacuum tubes were used in most of the finest recordings and mastering processes of all time? Just one modern day ... 
Rhea Noise
Xagwell, My advice is talk to Jim White at Aesthetix. You will not find a greater gentleman in Hifi audio. There is lots of rumor and innuendo and questionable fact being aired against the Rhea and the Calypso. If you want to bring the noise down ...

Rushton and Slipknot1, Yesterday I received both my 6SN7GTB's from andy at Vintage, my copy of "Il Cornetto" and "Stationen deutscher Cembalomisik" from Elusive Disc. Need I suggest it was quite the evening.First off, the replacement of the Chines... 
Mint Condition, Doesn't Anyone Know What It Means
Both Goldmine and the Webster's Dictionary have been around longer than many of the current day record collectors. I highly recommend both, and if that is not "up to date" enough for anyone at the very least spell check should work wonders.Happy L...

DANG! Rushton, my deepest sympathies go out to you on the cantilever mishap. Perhaps a great test of ones caricature to not start jumping up and down cursing at an inanimate object like Yosemite Sam from the WB cartoons. I must admit I would have ...

Rushton and Slipknot1, I write bearing very interesting news apparently Elusive Discs' server said the album "il cornetto" was out of stock. Truth was, one copy remained and by entering an order anyway (yesterday), I will receive this last copy. I...

Montepilot, Thanks for the Clemencic Consort recommendation. Upon a brief search to gain a little background it appears this will be a rather interesting undertaking as well. I will take your suggested heed to the timing for finding these recordin...

Thank you again gentlemen, I will keep looking around and they will show up eventually. I'm sure that it is just a matter of time until one surfaces. I appreciate very much knowing that they are out there, thanks to you. In doing a little research...

Rushton, I find your explanation of the instrumentation only heightens my interest in hearing this recording and many of the others. I checked with Elusive Disc and they are currently listing it as out of stock. I went ahead and entered an order (...

Gentleman, Please tell me about the “Il Cornetto” it sounds fascinating. I am but a classical neophyte at this point and truly looking to expand my horizons. I love classical or folk music with ancient instrumentation. Would this fit into that c...

OK Slipknot1, Evidently there are no other takers to this challenge of rock trivia. So you have taken an avid stab at it and deserve to know the answer I was looking for. Glyn Johns. Glyn either engineered and or produced each of these recordings....
