| Can you have too many tubes? Ralph, seeing as how you have joined into the fray... I love my new Atma-Sphere MA-1 Silver Editions but I got to say, it's a good thing I live in Michigan where we have two seasons, winter and August! Thanks for the great tunes. This summer my li... | |
| Thinking about a tube roll to Brimar or Telefunken sirspeedy70680@earthlink.net, No, no, no problem, my apologies. I did not mean to infer in any way a criticism of the information you were sharing. I do appreciate your viewpoint and was just making comment that Albert's suggestion to start with T... | |
| Thinking about a tube roll to Brimar or Telefunken sirspeedy70680@earthlink.net, Thank you for the detailed review. Sounds like you two had a great time and have found the magic for your ARC pre's. As things are shaping up for me, sticking with Albert's recommendations based on his long time Aesth... | |
| Thinking about a tube roll to Brimar or Telefunken Albert, Thanks again for the added info. and tipping us off to your association with Joe S. Again I find your help invaluable in my pursuit of the music. Audiogon threads can sure be a lot of fun with banter flying every which way. In this particu... | |
| Thinking about a tube roll to Brimar or Telefunken Jea48 Thanks and yes I have read the whole thing on several occasions. In the final analysis he seems to fly in the face of generally excepted favor of Telefunken being the Holy Grail. That’s interesting. Fact is there are plenty of other tubes ou... | |
| Thinking about a tube roll to Brimar or Telefunken Thank you Rives. Tele's seem to be the thing! | |
| Thinking about a tube roll to Brimar or Telefunken Thank you Albertporter for the experienced insight. It is invaluable. I feel probably, the hunt is now on for a hand full of Tele's and yes, I also find Aesthetix to be great gear. Combined with Ralph's Atma-Sphere OTL power amps the results are t... | |
| Does sound travel better at night? IT'S THE MAINS. The current cleans up considerably at night when every other power hungry so and so is fast asleep. Try running a power regenerator like PS Audio and you will likely hear the same. Enjoy! | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2 I take my hat off to Stanhifi! That pretty well tells the story in the fewest words. Enjoy! | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2 If ARC got it right... why do they have so many different configured pre's over the years? Tubes, transistor, or both?! You must audition the Calypso Perfectionist. Aesthetix will give you a sound that has very few faults (if any), has little or n... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso vs ARC LS25 MK2 After listening to the ARC and countless others... Aesthetix Calypso was my pick as well. I also own the Rhea and find great synergy in the pair. The overall balance and musicality won me over very easily and that was with stock tubes. People say ... | |
| Opinions: Neuance Shelf for Linn Sondek Lp12 TT Perfectionist, Thanks for the heads up on Ken and Neuance. Summer is here and I can't blame a guy for getting out. I hope the Neuance works for you. I think I'll go ahead on one when Ken gets back. If it auditions good, under the CDP as well, mayb... | |

| Cats and audiophiles What is it with Audiophiles and their feline companions?!...Me included. | |
| Cats and audiophiles My three, Zoë, Isabelle, and wheels enjoy the Hifi. Zoë (orange tabby, male) is the consummate audiophile likes analog and cant sit still with digital. If that doesnt make a case for vinyl... When not sitting on the knoll post of the stairway (c... |
