| Can Vandy's get along with cats? Get horns instead. | |
| How do we remember 1970s amplifiers? My AR receiver gave me many years of joy, but the sound is only in my imagination now. I was seventeen; it was a very good year... | |
| CD-format to be abandoned by major labels by the e Gee, maybe all my discs will become more and more valuable as collectors items. I better get a safe. | |
| Thoughts from Joule preamp owners? Joule says that tube rolling with 6H30s is not needed for the best sonics, and that would be welcome after I found it a virtual necessity with other preamps using 12AU7s, 6NS7s, and 5687s. | |
| Thoughts from Joule preamp owners? Yep, I thought about the Cary, as they are quite cheap used now, but I read they lack some definition, plus you have an extra power supply box. And they have 8 6NS7 tubes, and I have dealt with 6NS7 rolling and it can get expensive.Thanks for the ... | |
| Thoughts from Joule preamp owners? Thanks to everyone. I think Joule has some more new factory upgrades on the way, and they sell with a 30-day-satisfaction option. In looking through user comments on the web on many sites over a decade, Joule has voluminous amounts of high user pr... | |
| Best speakers in the 3000 -5000 range See my posts about the Lahave Mela monitors (just do a search).I don't want to repeat myself and bore people anymore.I own a pair and recommend them highly, and I don't have any connection with the audio industry at all and I'm not selling them. N... | |
| Merlin VSM MXr vs Thiel 2.4 vs Dynaudio C1 Call a dealer who sells LaHave Melas and ask for a good deal. I have them after listening to/owning lots of speakers, including Dyn C1s. Just plain awesome tonality without fatigue. I sound like a shill now from my posts but I'm not. I just bought... | |
| Musical, Warm and Smooth bookshelfs under 500 Quad 9L actives, warm, inviting, not overly covered up, very musical, maybe the sleeper in the Quad dynamic line. Used ones are right in your price bracket, high end sound for relative pocket change. Stretch your budget a little (around $6-700 use... | |
| Are Headphone amps worth the expense? Oh G-d yes good headphone amps are worth it. Good headphone sound can be a glorious thing and quality amplification is just as important as it is with speakers (and often, unfortunately, more expensive). 50,000 headfiers can't be wrong. Check out ... | |
| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? Thanks Hfisher! Never heard of Doshi. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Thanks again Pubul. I actually have 2 amps, an Edge NL12.1 and the Luxman (both solid state), and the tube preamps I tried with these really makes a superb sound, w/o the heat & tube maintenance issues of powered tube amps.Of course, this work... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Yes, I have a solid state Luxman amp.The combination of my tube preamp and the Luxman is extraordinary. So I think you are right. thanks. | |
| Best amp for Von Schweikert VR4SR mk2? I used to have a Pass X350 my VSRs (not the 4s, though) and really liked it, especially in the mids, highs, and with percussion. Great purity in this combo. No tubes in the chain, but it sounded fine anyway, kind of tubey. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Does the Lightspeed sound different than the Placette?I tried a Placette, and it did sound very open and really "not there", but then I went back to my tube preamp and there was some sort of magic sound with the tubes that I could not give up. I g... |
