| EAR 834P vs. Audio Research PH-3 I have owned both units in the past and they have a different sound. I found the EAR darker but more flexable(can switch from MM to MC) than the Audio Research. The PH-3 was more open, better detailed in the mids and top end. If I remember correct... | |
| Any fans of Django Reinhardt A couple of cds that I didn't list in my first post. If you like Django you may like the soundtrack to "Sweet and Lowdown", a Woody Allen directed movie about the the world's second greatest jazz guitar player. Also a rather obscure Al Stewart alb... | |
| Any fans of Django Reinhardt One of the best collectios is the Mosaic Box Set. It is a 6 cd collection from 1936-1948 and the quality is excellent. It is still in print and cost 95.00. Go to www.mosaicrecords.com for more information. | |
| Best CDR for DAT CDR ? I have recorded from my Sony and Fostex DAT to Fostex CD Recorder with excellent results. I haven't found a great difference in blank cdrs but I have noticed that Fuji blanks seem to have the least amount of defective discs.( I usually buy in lots... | |
| Custom Rack Stand Looking at 300.00 or less. | |
| Auctions - why bid early? I really don't like the auction process and rarely use it. The reserve or opening bid is usually at or close to fair market price so the auction system as a rule is for sellers to increase their return. I have bid early on occasion on something I ... | |
| Is a offer of -20 percent on an OBO ad insulting? As a frequent seller and buyer here I agree with the posters that asking 20% off a OBO is probably low but with in reason. I always acknowledge all offers as a courtesy and if the price is lower than I will accept I ask for a counter offer or give... | |
| Any James Taylor Fans? New CD Sounds Great. I am a long time James Taylor fan also and I agree this is one of his best albums in years. If you like JT you may want to give his sister Kate Taylor a listen. She has a new lp out sold on her website , www.katetaylor.com called "Beautiful Road".... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. My first tube amp was a kit I built in the early 60's, I have had a tube amp in and out of my system since. Currently I have two amplifiers, Cary 805B monoblocks(tube) and a Jeff Rowland Model 10(ss). As wondeful as the Cary sounds, I keep the Row... | |

| What's the Best Speakers use with the CAT JL2/SL1? I agree with the other members, excellent system! I really would take a serious look at Vandersteen Model 5 speakers. I have a pair and have found them to be the best speakers I have heard under 20K.(they sale for around 11K new with standard fini... | |
| Thank you Audiogoner's for your civilized attitude I think that the Audiogon forums are far too civilized especially when someone disagrees or becomes vocal toward an audio dealer. You will find these post quickly deleted. I think for the most part the forums are interesting,informative and often ... | |
| Looking for a great tube headphone amp I would also look at EarMax and Wheatfield Audio. Both units are tubed and in your price range. I am currently using the Wheatfield Audio headphone amp and have been quite pleased with it. | |
| Are you going to buy the Rolling Stones SACDs? I picked up 2 of my favorite Stones titles yesterday, "12X5" and "December's Children". I don't have a SACD player but played them on a Cary 306/200 CDP. I must admit that they sound much improved over the early 1986 cd pressings. I could hear mor... | |
