| One box do it all Not sure about Roon compatibility, but maybe a PS Audio Sprout 100? | |
| Allison and Snell - Against the Wall Klipschhorns, designed to go in corners--that's against two walls, I guess.... | |
| List a Condition you know of that will produce Better Sound I thought the Armor All tweak resulted in a lot of CDs going bad (CD rot). Sam Tellig tried it, then withdrew the endorsement because of those reports. Anyone else remember that? | |
| Vintage SS Versus Modern I can't think of any solid state amps from that era that I would describe as easy-going. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Well spoken, mitch22. Amen. | |
| Evening Classical Music; listening for relaxation If you subscribe to the Idagio or Primephonic classical streaming services, they have curated playlists that give you a great sampling of music and composers that you may never have heard of for all different moods, including relaxation and medita... | |
| Melos repair I don't know personally of anyone, but I believe that the man behind the Laufer Teknik Memory Player (Mark Porzilli) was the designer of the Melos electronics. It's a long shot, but you might try to contact Sam Laufer at Laufer Tekniks to see if ... | |
| Mahler vs. Strauss I have not really noticed what you're obviously hearing. I think newbee's possible explanation makes a lot of sense to me. | |
| Opinions on Meitner MTR-101 Amps??? $20 for MTR 101s? Bargain of the Century! | |
| Nearfield Acoustics Pipedreams I have heard them with tubes (a Melos amplifier that didn't blow up) and they sounded great. Had I owned them I would have used Lamm ML 1.1s, and I'm sure they would have worked, I don't think they were that tough a load to drive at all. I'm als... | |
| Reference Recordings (The Label) The entire series is outstanding; I particularly like the Shostakovich and their Strauss recordings.. | |
| Better/best fullrange nearfield speakers? Despite their size, the (aptly named) Nearfield Acoustics Pipedreams work extremely well in nearfield listening. I sat three feet from them and never heard any of the drivers, just a huge, deep soundstage | |
| Favorite Guitar Solo Agree that there are too many to choose one, but two that come to mind to me are David Gilmour's solo in Pimk Floyd's Comfortably Numb and Jeff Beck in People Get Ready with Rod Stewart.. | |
| Anyone own 200iq and prefer kt150 over kt88 Can't help on the first question, I just use KT88s in my Phi 200 and am happy with them so I'm not trying any other output tubes (you could try getting some different input tubes, I like NOS RCAs for their richness, but you could get NOS Sylvanias... | |
| I want a new to me CD player but need to have HDCD decoding capability Not sure what your budget is, but there’s a Spectral unit which decodes HDCD for sale on this site from The Music Room (no affiliation). I believe that the Spectral player was designed in part by Keith Johnson, who did the HDCD recordings for Refe... |
