| stuck in a quandry -what's best solely on quality? If you like the stratos, why not get another stratos amp? I believe that would be a better solution than the other amps you have listed. | |
| New Lowther Drivers. I assume that you have already done so--but just in case you haven't--check the "single driver" website, and also the "high efficiency" section at audioasylum. The asylum also has a DIY section. Best of luck. | |
| Intro to tubes: Jolida or Bottlehead or Others? I would also suggest ASL (antique sound labs). Very good "bang for the buck". Readily available here on Agon either new or used. Information is available at www.divertech.com. | |
| Power Amp Neeed -- PLEASE HELP prevent mistake. You might also want to consider a Rotel 1080. It is a nice sounding amp. Very powerful. Well reviewed. Available for about $700 used on Audiogon. Good luck! | |
| What's your opinion about Monitor Audio FB210 ? Get the REL! They are great subwoofers even if they are not the very best "value". (Meaning, of course, that you can get something else cheaper.) They ALWAYS get good reviews and are VERY easy to resell if you decide they're not your cup of tea--b... | |
| Need cable reccomendation for Cary/Proac system Have you tried the Blue Heaven interconnects? I would think that they would work well. Others that I have used and like include Pure Silver Sound and Audio Magic. The exact models would depend upon how much you want to spend. | |
| Quicksilver Mini Mite or ARC Classic 30 I don't believe you will go wrong with either. I also believe it's going to boil down to your personal priorities and tastes. I bought the mites and use them with proacs--but that doesn't mean you should. If it is at all possible you should listen... | |
| Will speaker cable switch help? I'm sure there will be a change, but it's hard to say if it will be an improvement or just different. The T14 is a silver over copper design. Many people feel that this results in a "bright" treble and a lack of top to bottom balance. If you value... | |
| 6N1P near equivalent 6922/6dj8 Check over on www.audioasylum.com in the "tubes" section. This has been covered in some detail over there--you'll need to do a "search". Basically, it is not a direct sub--it will work in some cases, but not in others. The direct Russian sub for 6... | |
| My quest: an integrated with great imaging. Help I'm with Cornfedboy on this one. The Twin Towers is a very nice piece of equipment. And, I'm a firm believer in the magic of tubes. However, you already have a really good integrated with the Moon. You don't mention what ic's or speaker cables you... | |
| ARC SP6 or 9; Audible Illusions M3A;Couterpoint 5 I have owned the SP-6 and the M3A. I have heard (but not owned) the Counterpoint. To my ears there is no comparison. The AI is easily the best of the 3--and not by a small margin. | |
| Another esoteric inquiry - Hadcock tonearm This is your lucky day! There is a review of the HADCOCK GH242 SE tonearm in issue 13 of HI-FI+ magazine, pages94-97. There is a very nice color picture of the tonearm with the review, as well as a little bit of history. HI-FI+ is on the web at ww... | |
| The Little Tube Amp That Could? There are lots of choices in the "used" price range of $600--$800. I am going to recommend a pair of the Quicksilver mini-monos. They appear on audiogon from time to time in that price range. I use a pair myself and they are very very good. | |
| Take an audio challenge I am pretty sure you can do what you want with one of the various REL subwoofers. For music you would REL's "special" wire between your amp's speaker output and the subwoofer input. But, I"m pretty sure that they also have a rca input which you ca... | |
| This is bugging me I would second Sugarbrie's recomendation of the Monster power conditioner. I have and they work very well indeed.However, check out the latest issue of THE ABSOLUTE SOUND--issue 132, page 133. Stephen Harrell did a power cord comparison and had ve... |
