| Has anyone found Audio Nirvana? Yes. For my current equipment and room, while listening I experience neither suffering (from bad sound), desire (for better sound), nor sense of self, and am released from the effects of karma and the cycle of death and rebirth. (Assuming I am not... | |
| Anyone Using Crystals? Oops, sorry. Here ya go:http://krystal.com/menu | |
| Anyone Using Crystals? I often use Krystals. Love 'em! I believe they do enhance as promised. Some of my favorites: http://http//krystal.com/menu/ | |
| Who listens primarily to Redbook CD? Redbook CD is my only source and I love it! Consonance Opera Reference 2.2 , modified by Stephen Montey as "factory" mods, which apparently they were not. But the mods made definite improvements over the stock gear. | |
| The new re-mix of Sgt. Pepper's Not me. No interest either. After purchasing the 2009 Mono Box set and stereo mix I swore off buying any more Beatles recordings ever again and I’m sticking to my guns. Since 1965 I’ve bought multiple copies of vinyl (45s and albums), cassettes, a... | |
| Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money? My Mapletree Audio 2A/SE preamp (6SN7/12SN7, tube rectified, custom gains per input). Upgraded version (Blackgate caps), new, was less than $1k. Have had it for years and have no intention of swapping it out. Terrific value (and sound). The stupid... | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations? +1 Mapletree Audio! | |
| James Cotton dead at 81 He was terrific - one of the originals. Saw him several times. He'll definitely be missed. | |

| Why no tube loaner/testdrives--It's hard being an audiophile I purchased my tube preamp (only 1 tube per channel, 1 rectifier tube) and power amps (monoblocks with only 2 power tubes, 1 input tube, 1 driver tube each) based not only on sound quality but also on minimal number of tubes to minimize the expens... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? It proved to me that the differences between analog and digital aren't solely at the front end. Synergy of the system is what makes one better than the other. Precisely! | |
| Cable elevators For less than $2 a piece I use ceramic light sockets with the terminals removed. | |
| How often is your system "good"? Each time I fire it up ... after about a couple of hours. | |
| Most coherent low volume speaker with very fast bass under 10k used? It's right there in your name: Zu. Get the best Zu speaker you can afford and a DECware amp to drive it. Very good at low volumes and fast. | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? If you believe vinyl sounds better and live in Atlanta I'd love to be persuaded. (Actually, probably would hate to be persuaded, considering what it would cost to replace my 1,676 CDs with vinyl, and purchasing a decent table as well. Egads.) Let'... |
