| Liquid Amps How about the term "surgically romantic" published in TAS (1976) by that doyen of the High End - Harry Pearson! He was reviewing and describing James Bongiorno's Great American Sound Ampzilla! This was THE amp to own! Did it sound "liquid"? NO! It... | |
| Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle? The capacity of humans for self deception is unlimited. Mr. Spock | |
| Kora Triode 100 SB Mono Block Power Amps A nicely restored pair of Dynaco MkIII's would be a much better (and cheaper choice). Don't believe the hype that single-ended is better than push-pull. It is not! Getting 80 watts out of a SE 6C33 is nonsense! And their future availability is que... | |
| Integrated tube amplifier for large speakers You can drive the Moscode 150 directly from your digital sources. No need for a preamp! | |
| Integrated tube amplifier for large speakers Buy a used NYAL Moscode 150. It's a hybrid amp using a four tube front end driving a MOSFET output stage. 75 wpc at 8 ohms - considerably more at 4 ohms! Designed by George Kaye and built here in the USA. The best of both worlds - tubes for input ... | |
| Valve phono stage Forget the above. Buy a Precision Fidelity C7. A great cascode tube phono stage with level controls and source selection designed by Bruce Moore (Paragon, MFA, Audible Illusions). Available on the used market for around $500! | |
| CDs Vs LPs +1 brianmoriarty - and the more complex the better! LOL! | |
| CDs Vs LPs "Spin The Black Circle" from Pearl Jam! | |
| Krell KSA100 vs Threshold 400A vs McCormack DNA 0.5 Forget all of the above. Buy a Bedini 150/150 and experience a higher level of audio reality! I have! | |
| CDs Vs LPs We like what we like! The paradox of thinking vs. feeling! | |
| Repair Linn turntable vs buying a different one I'm onto my second LP12 - and couldn't be happier! | |
| Repair Linn turntable vs buying a different one Yeah, and a vintage Jag XKE is a waste of money too! | |
| OHM Acoustics ‘B2’ electrodynamic speaker It looks similar to my Altec Santana 1's. Probably not as good sounding. Altec always made superior drivers! | |
| Best speaker/system piano concerts Snell Type AIII's are a forgotten classic design still competitive with today's big-buck speakers! Dead-flat response (+ and - 0 db) from 30 to 20k and wide dynamic range. Plus textbook perfect off-axis response! Lowest coloration possible from a ... | |
| CDs Vs LPs Audiophiles would be happier if CD players required as much tweaking as TT's to obtain optimal SQ! |
