| Audio Research SP15 sonics The SP15 was the successor to the SP11 in its line of hybrid preamps. The 15 used far less tubes than the 11--it was more a solid-state hybrid than a tube hybrid, like the SP11, and to my ear it sounded that way. I heard it often at my dealer's wh... | |
| re laser turntable Check the thread "New Vinyl Playback Technology", within the past month or so, there's a little information there about it. | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Hybrid SACD Irishdog: The first four are due out November 11--see the following link:http://consumers.umusic.com/sacd/future.html Listening to the master tapes with Frederick Fennell?? You're even older than I!! That must have been an experience, all right--w... | |
| Rediscovering the Joy of Digital? Plato, you should try the Sink with the BDR as you mentioned--if it works, see if you can trade Vinh for a new dustcover. Heck, there's no dust out there, anyway...Offer still stands on your vinyl, but I don't think you'll be able to pull the trig... | |
| Jeff Rowland - No Exposure? In partial answer to Kevziek's latest post, Tora's post shows me that the Rowland sound may have changed. The early Rowland amps, the Models 7 and 5, were fairly warm sounding to me, big, bold and robust, giving a sound that Lewis Lipnick in Stere... | |

| Rediscovering the Joy of Digital? Plato, ever consider trying something like a Seismic Sink under your table? I've got a spare heavy duty one, if you want to try it. | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Hybrid SACD Dave: I'd disagree as to classical releases, there's a decent number of new recordings far outnumbering the older ones that Sony first released when they got the format started, and we old guys like some of the reissues (though there could be bett... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Hybrid SACD Irishdog, that's a good point (although you can have most recordings from the 80's, I am quite certain that early 16 bit pcm digital will not sound any better on SACD); I too am not pleased at what appears to be a complete shift to multichannel, a... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Hybrid SACD I don't know where you get your information, but I don't think you have it right. My Sony 777ES, a first generation player, plays the SACD layer of every SACD disk I've fed it, hybrid or not, multi-channel or not, and I've been collecting all of t... | |
| Rediscovering the Joy of Digital? Frank, the altitude in Tucson clearly has gotten to you. You need some good old Jersey smog to bring you back to your senses!! Send me the records, I'll hold them till you get over this urge. :) | |
| Best Tube for Classical,,,300b or 45's ?? There really is no particular tube by itself that's better for classical in my view, it really depends on the circuit the tube is used in, and the characteristics of the speaker the amplifier is driving. If you have an amp that can use different t... | |
| Gryphon gets no press, but is great. The Gryphon amp indeed did get a fairly negative review in Stereophile years back, I think it was Mr. Scull who did not find it to have the magic he was looking for at its price level. I can state that having heard the big Gryphon stereo amp in th... | |
| looking for best isolation platform for CD player Sean: Agree with you on the Justaracks; I got some a few years back because I liked the ability to change the shelf spacing, which I needed for my setup, but wound up using all sorts of other vibration isolation devices, including decoupling the r... | |
| Vinyl pressing mistakes Nothing as severe as what you all have described, but my copy of the King reissue of the Albeniz Suite Espanola has side 1 with a label showing the side 2 pieces, and vice versa. Colitas, maybe Liberace liked to celebrate Christmas listening to na... |
