| CD's you bring for auditioning Only one CD, 15 tracks. A compilation of very familiar and different types of music with different enough styles to experience either the magic or uncover the warts. Track list (track numbers in parenthesis):1. Maria Kliegel - Bach Cello Suites (1... | |
| Best Diana Krall album...........is??? My two favs are: "Live in Paris" - sounds like you're attending one of her concerts sitting in the front row, excellent live recording, plus "A Case of You" is one of my all-time favorite songs; and "All For You" - love Nat King Cole's music, and ... | |
| Best of Brian Auger's Oblivion Express on CD? Picked up the "remastered" (whenever that was) version. Awesome sound. Don't know if it is any different than original release on Polygram. But Chronicles release is damn fine. Thanks guys. | |
| Orion Speakers truly great or too finicky Your room NEEDS to be big enuogh to set them up as per recommended. Make sure. Otherwise I am not sure they're worth the expense. I have heard them in a small room - not fabulous. | |
| Best of Brian Auger's Oblivion Express on CD? The new one from Chronicles does not make the "remastered" claim anywhere on the packaging except for a sticker on the celophane wrapper - nowhere else. Not on the box nor anywhere inside, not on the insert nor on the CDs. The seller confirmed thi... | |

| Cary vs. Melody Valve Mariusz, please ... what is it about the new Carys you dislike vs. older? | |
| Subwoofer meshes well with 2-channel? Johnc5 - Of course, you'll have to reintegrate your sub(s) if you have any after installing the filters. | |
| Subwoofer meshes well with 2-channel? No degradation detected at all. As a matter of fact, high-passing my mains (two 6" woofs each running uninhibited otherwise) cleaned up the sound dramatically. The only "negative" was a -3db in volume, which, for me, wasn't a negative since I have... | |
| Subwoofer meshes well with 2-channel? Dawg, I high-passed my mains (connected passive filter in-line at amp from pre connection) with 85Hz filters from ACI (they have balanced and unbalanced) and adjusted my two ACI Titan (powered) subs to fill in the LFs. Works fantastic! Easy to do ... | |
| Who sells lead shot pellets to fill an equip.stand How about copper BBs from WalMart? | |
| Mapletree Preamp experiences? Get a pair of NOS 12SX7GT tubes for it. Ask the good Dr. what he recommends. I got my tubes from him. BTW, I am keeping mine - it is just too good. | |
| Self bias tube integrated or power amp suggestions 88 - Just an average Joe (Dan) - no affiliations - no offense. I now see your point - trusting that your dealer will be there for you. That is a drag. Not sure exactly why Monte or Trelja dumped them (or got dumped by them). We'll never know all t... | |
| vanalstine fet valve amplifiers My Ultra 550 is paired with a Malpetree Audio 2A SE and driving my soft-dome tweetered EgglestonWroks Fontaines. The sound is clear and well-balanced top to bottom. Very powerful with no distortion. I have upraded tubes in both the amp and pre to ... | |
| Self bias tube integrated or power amp suggestions 88 - Baloney. There was a NA dealer for Opera Audio prior to Trelja and there will likely be another after him. Just because Trelja is no longer the dealer is not going to effect the products' qualities or used value. As long as the next dealer of... |
