| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. Martha Davis of The Motels. I can still hear her sultry voice on "Change My Mind" on the All Four One album. | |
| Anyone Using Bose 901 speakers In A Home Theater? I know that my response will be difficult to swallow since I am answering your original question and not either waxing rhapsodic about the sound of Bose speakers or providing a vehement statement that Bose is responsible for all social ills. Amazi... | |
| Brooks Berdan LTD Monrovia California I not only miss Brooks and his analog expertise, but seeing his exotic cars parked out front. Hopefully he is somewhere driving a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. | |
| Turntable with stable speed. I had the exact problem you describe with a Merrill Heirloom table. I could hear the pitch changing irregularly, often as the system warmed up and it drove me mad. I now have an SME 20/2 and never hear this effect. I would imagine any of the more ... | |
| Isolation Platform for my Sota Cosmos? If you want to go on the cheap, a good home-made isolation platform that I have used for years is to buy several wheelbarrow inner tubes at your local hardware store and a large cement paver block. Place the block on the inflated inner tubes and y... | |
| Looking for a high-quality 2-way speaker I heard the Carmels in two different rooms at the Newport Beach Show and loved their natural sound, but only heard the larger Magicos (Q3 and S5) and neither of the others on your list. I really liked two other two-ways at the show, and they were ... | |
| Alternative for original Wilson Sophia I Spikes I also do not use the stock spikes on speakers but use Star Sound Sistrum speaker stands. I find the stands better than the stock spikes--not an earthshaking difference but better nonetheless. Just an idea perhaps worth considering, especially wit... | |
| Alternate Power Tubes for a Cary V12R OK, I give up. If you keep dismissing ideas out of hand you will probably get fewer responses. Sheez. | |
| small speakers for small room Another inside-the-box solution would be speakers that use full-range drivers such as Fostex, Audio Nirvana, Lowther (although these drivers may push your price limit), and others. I recently bought some Audio Nirvana drivers and had cabinets buil... | |
| Alternate Power Tubes for a Cary V12R That just depends on how much money you are willing to spend. I thought that buying many NOS tubes was completely practical to me because I was looking for the best sound. Perhaps you feel differently. Your call. I have seen 8417 tubes in your pri... | |
| Alternate Power Tubes for a Cary V12R You might want to call Cary to see if you can use the Sylvania 8417 tube. I had an Audio Electronic Supply (built by Cary) AE-25 Superamp and tried dozens of different tubes in the 6550/KT88, EL34/KT77, and 6L6/EL37 families, both new production a... | |
| Brooks Berdan LTD Monrovia California If Brian Berdan is no longer there I would be surprised. I bought a phono cartridge from him after the Newport Beach Show last July. I have been a customer of BBL for many years and would be disappointed if Brian were gone. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? The best speaker I have ever heard is the mbl 101E as part of a $200K system at the 2012 Newport Beach Audio Show in a relatively large room. That being said, the best I have had in my small room is a recent purchase of Wyatt Acoustics 2.8 using A... | |

| Best rock song of all times Afternoon Delight by Starland Vocal Band..............Just kidding. How about Black Betty by Ram Jam? |
