| Red dawn vs SPM I have both Red Dawn and SPM in my system, they are more alike than different. The SPM are a more detailed cable but the Red Dawn is quite good. I have the Red Dawn Rev 11 speaker cable and when I spoke with Nordost than said the Rev 11 is probabl... | |
| Need a good "under carpet" speaker cable I would look at the Nordost line of cables, they make excellent cables at all price points. Good luck. | |
| Speakers for 50W Triode tube amp I had the Cary 805 monoblocks(50 watts) and they drove VonSchweihert VR4s and VR5s without dificulity. Good luck. | |
| Difference between JRDG Synergy II and Synergy IIi The difference between the Synergy 11 and 11i is an amplification board that according to Jeff Rowland lowers noise and distortion . One of the ways you can tell if you have the 11i is the display is green. I have only heard the battery pack on th... | |
| what are the best couple of cassandra wilson cd's I have her complete catalog and they are all very good. Her earlier albums are more straight forward jazz vocals while the last 3 have been more middle of the road jazz. Her current album Belly of the Sun is somewhat of a departure with roots blue... | |
| Marsh or McCormack I have own the McCormack DNA 225 amp, it is an excellent ss design from a well established company(currently owned by Conrad and Johnson). Build quality is excellent with quality parts. I haven't heard the Marsh amps but they have received excelle... | |
| Counterfit Telefunken Tube? It is my understanding that later day Telefunkens don't have the diamond on the base. A few years ago I bought 4 from a very reputable dealer and they didn't have the diamonds and thats what I was told. | |
| Is e-mail system working? I have used Audiogon to e-mail 2 sellers in the last few days and so far neither one has responded. Either a problem with e-mail or the sellers just didn't respond in a timely manner. | |
| Any phono sections with adjustments on fly/front? The Cadance Phono from Jeff Rowland Design Group also has front panel adjustments for gain and cartridge loading. It is one of the best phonos I have heard in my system. | |
| LISTENER Magazine...What Do You Think? I have read Listener since the first issue, it is becoming the MAD magazine of audio. Too much wasted ink on trying to be cute and witty. I respect Art Dudley's opinions but his reply to letter writers are sometime quite vicious. In his defense it... | |
| Is Audio Research Mach II Ref II a good pre-amp? I have the Audio Research LS25 in my system with a Jeff Rowland SS amp. The Reference 11 Mark 11 has the same tube(6H30) and similar circuit boards as the REF 11 MK 11. The Ref uses 6 6H30 , 1 6L6 and 1 5AR4 tube while the LS25 uses only 2 6H30 tu... | |
| Recommended DVD-A Discs? So far the best DVD-A I have heard is L.A. Woman by The Doors. | |
| 2 channel Poll: Vote: Do you use Tubes or SS? I use both in my system, tube Audio Research preamp, ss Jeff Rowland amplifier and Herron Audio tube phono stage . I have had tubes since the mid 1960's and love the sound but currently ss amplifier works better for my lifestyle. I found that the ... | |
| Preamp dilemma... I have to disagree about the LS25 Mark 11. I recently auditioned the Reference 11 and the LS25 in my system. I found the LS25 very close in sound to the Ref.11 at a considerable less cost. The LS25 is not a all tube design and has a less tube soun... | |
