| Best solvent to clean Vibrapod marks? I'm afraid you're screwed. Rubber and many like products do not play well with wood finishes. Seems to be some type of chemical reaction which melts the rubber and fuses it to the wood finish, ruining the finish and even the surrounding area. Bumm... | |
| Which allround speaker ? My EgglestonWorks Fontaines have, for me, the perfect blend of bite and warmth, allowing for extended listening to all sorts of recordings. Nearly every other speaker I've auditioned is too harsh for me. The Fontaines require a subwoofer, but the ... | |

| Pre/Amp for Salk HT3 Jim Salk auditions his HT3s with Frank Van Alstine equipment (http://www.avahifi.com/): Fet Valve Ultra 550 amp (hybrid) and Ultra pre - the HT3s sound great with this gear. At least I think so, but more importantly Jim Salk thinks so as well. | |
| Amp for EgglestonWorks Speakers? 1markr - Those must be some awesome amps. I'd love to try a pair of those but cost dictates otherwise for me. I was thinking about a pair of VAC Auricle Musicbloc 70's - also tube pp - as a used pair is currently for sale in my area. Not sure how ... | |
| I think my hearing is damaged. You may want to see a neurologist if your balance is effected as well. My wife was experiencing loss of hearing and what she thought were occasional episodes of slight vertigo and unbalance. The audiologist tested her hearing and said it was "norm... | |
| Modern day female jazz recommendations I've been obsessing over Kelly Flint of Dave's True Story for a while now. Although I sampled her latest, without Dave, and find it very boring. Funny how that happens sometimes, like with Keely Smith. I find her extraordinary with Louis Prima, bu... | |
| Amp for EgglestonWorks Speakers? 1markr - I have a pair of ACI 65Hz in-line filters I have not yet tried. If I use them I'll not require so much power then? Any idea how much of a load is relieved from the speakers using 65Hz filters? Is it possible I could get away with 70wpc tu... | |
| Amp for EgglestonWorks Speakers? Any others? I think these speakers have just he right amount of bite and smoothness, which i why I like the so. Great for all kinds of music, even less than stellar recordings - not that they'll improve a poor recording, just allow you to listen t... | |
| Amp for EgglestonWorks Speakers? Thank you for your responses. These speakers are not discussed much. I am happy with my 250wpc hybrid (AVA Fet Valve Ultra) but always wonder how they'd sound with other types of amps. I've only had hybrids and I don't have much opportunity to exp... | |
| Tube amps good with Emerald Physics CS2 speakers? Shakeydeal (love the moniker) - I read that the LF woofs do go to 1kHz ... Anyone know otherwise? It may very well be an awesome sounding speaker - I am not refuting that and I have NOT heard them (dealer in Atlanta does not have space to audition... | |
| Tube amps good with Emerald Physics CS2 speakers? I don't get some folks' reasoning on using potentially lesser quality amps on the LF woofs of these speakers. I can understand if those woofs handled only LFs, but unless I'm mistaken, these LF woofs also handle freqs up to 1kHz. That covers the a... | |
