| Bose 901 Series ii Keep the electronics and ditch the Bose's! Buy a good used pair of DCM Time Windows and experience truly great sound! I am presently listening to a pair (serial no's 52779 and 52780) driven by a GAS Thoebe preamp and a Son of Ampzilla (both circa ... | |
| Cartridge upgrade I also recommend a good mc step up transformer. I have a Quicksilver, a Denon, a Bellari and two custom - built using vintage mic transformers. I prefer the sound of a passive device over an active stage. | |
| Cartridge upgrade Try a Denon 304. I have the same TT and arm as you (Thorens 160 and SME III). | |

| Is remastered mainly just less jitter? I prefer a diamond scraping a spiral groove on a rotating plastic disk! It's all about the groovy vibrations! | |

| Placement tips for Synergistic Research HTFs Try covering all your room surfaces with aluminum foil - the infamous Faraday cage - complete isolation from all outside electromagnetic fields! A great improvement in low-level detail and sound stage! | |

| Upgrading my SET amplifiers? Instead of Lowthers I am planning to put my pair of Altec 755E's in a 2 cubic ft sealed cabinet. This should give good bass response down to about 40 hz and a sensitivity of about 103 db! A good match for my Sanei 2A3 SET! | |
| Upgrading my SET amplifiers? Again, my mistake! Too small keypad on this smartphone. I'd take any MIJ SET (with Tango iron) over a Wright Sound, Wavelength, Cary, etc... It's the iron - and Tango is numero uno! No US wound iron is as good! | |
| Upgrading my SET amplifiers? My mistake! I'd take any of them (MIJ SET amps) over Wright Sound? | |
| Upgrading my SET amplifiers? I own a Sanei 2A3 SET with all Tango transformers. Price second-hand about $1500. Made in Japan. Excellent sound and a good match with Lowthers! Some of the best SET's have been MIJ! I'd take any of them over a ModWright! | |
| How would you get into the biz? Check out those Cessaro Lizst's for sale at the bottom of this thread.$160,000!!!! Can you build something like that! Because that is what the people with real money want! The future is in building and selling bespoke products for the 1%! ... | |
| Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned?? Speakers I currently own and have replaced from my past: Quad 57's (two pairs), DCM Time Windows, Infinity Monitor 1A, KLH 6's, Klipsch Heresy's, AR 4's, AR M2's. Variety is the spice of life! I wish I had more space so I could set up more than tw... | |
| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? Sorry, I missed seeing the first part of your post! Dali's/Wadia is a good speaker/source combination! I still recommend a SET tube amp (even one using 300B tubes). Very smooth and yet detailed enough to hear all the nuances in your favorite recor... |
