| Seeking Speaker Recommendations How about a real classic: the DCM Time Windows 1A, the 3 and the 7! I have owned the 1A's for 40 years (now on pair no. 3!) and keep coming back to them for that SOUND! Truly a GREAT design by Steve Eberbach of Michigan! And I own Quad 57's (two p... | |
| Infinity IRS Betas - proper amplification Save your tube gear for your JBL's! Those C51's are really something! | |
| Infinity IRS Betas - proper amplification Forget about tube gear.Those IRS's need an amp that can drive 2 ohms and put out a lot of current (amps) to really come alive! Think Krell, Levinson, Pass ... | |

| Cryo a power cord? More bogus pseudoscience for the neurotic and gullible! | |
| What Bookshelf / Stand Mounted Speakers To Pair With Vintage Electronics? How about a pair of AR4's with rebuilt crossovers? Mine sound quite fine and didn't cost much! Back in the day (60's - 70's) they were highly rated! And would match well with the 810's power. | |
| TT mats Hiraoka Diskmat SE22! Yes, it's vintage and I bought it brand new from Harvey Sound, NYC back in 1978! $20! Still in use on my Ariston RD11S! I have yet to see a better-made and sounding mat than this! | |

| Which one +1 Marantz 7! Designed by Sid Smith - who also designed the Model 8 and 9 tube amps. | |
| Decca London Reference- SME V, FR 64s or FR 64 fx? The best tonearm for the Decca might be the Sony Active Arm - it can compensate for the different vertical and horizontal compliances of the Decca better than any conventional arm! It can tame the wayward tracking inherent in the suspension design! | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jeez, what a long thread! Nobody's mentioned the BEST out-there sax player of today: Peter Brotzmann! Checkout "Machine gun"! Plenty of his recordings available on vinyl from the Bay! |
