| Fedex Warning: $100 Limit Insurance on Ground Drubin, MBE, the parent company, is owned by UPS. Therefore, the relationship between MBE and UPS is much more incestuous than I thought. It makes it interesting that there are few or no ways in many localites to get UPS to accept a package throug... | |
| Diana Krall - What is your favorite CD of hers? I know that there are other "I hate Diana Krall" threads on Audiogon because I participated in one a few years back. That one got me a lot of hate mail. Why do some of us hate Diana Krall? Well, I don't hate her but her singing is way overrated. I... | |
| Tube Preamps under $10k with deep bass extension Marakanetz:Sorry for being a heretic but build quality, while nice to have in those $10K products, is overrated, IMO. If it is cheap, sounds good and therefore doesn't need upgrading, and lasts, what's the problem? (:->). (Gotta work on my smil... | |
| Tube Preamps under $10k with deep bass extension Drubin, Didn't know about the Siemens 7308's. I do have an NOS pair of Siemens E88CC's lying around which didn't do much for the CAT. I like Telefunken E88CC's in the CAT, by the way. I do have a pair of NOS Tele 7308's, which I will try in the Fi... | |
| Tube Preamps under $10k with deep bass extension I find the AI III to be underrated, even though it is considered to be an overachiever for its price. Of course, tube matching is important as well as overall system synergy, but I find that in several systems where I have heard it, it didn't suff... | |
| Tube Preamps under $10k with deep bass extension CAT Ultimate will certainly go down to 20hz, but so will the Audible Illusions Modulus III. Modulus III has better bass than the IIIa. I have the CAT and would certainly take it over the Audible Illusions, but the AI ain't bad. If you are primaril... | |
| ++ Hovland HP-100 Pre ++ I have heard it on several occasions. I would describe it as having a very decent smooth midrange, a captivating and extended high end, but no bass. On another occasion, the high end sounded overemphasized. It is not really bright in the classic s... | |
| Opinions on Tact Amp TacT Millenium was dry-sounding and undynamic. I believe that I heard the Mk II | |
| Help: Searching for Vandersteen-like speakers... You might try the Vandersteen's with a Pass Aleph series amplifier. I use a 100 watt Pass Aleph 4 with my Vandersteen 3A Signatures. Maybe not exactly a tube sound, but you do get a very smooth, neutral sound with a clear, sweet, airy midrange, gr... | |
