| best preamp under 500 for cheap, poor student Antique sound lab 2004. $279.00 brand new. Check here on Audiogon or at Divertech.com. There are certainly many other choices if you are willing to buy used--and especially if you are patient. | |
| Anyone herad the Audio Physic Avanti 111's? I haven't personally heard them, but there is a full review in the August 2001 issue of STEREOPHILE (issue 24-8, page 77), which might be helpful to you. They were reviewed by Michael Fremer--he liked them a lot. | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 3A = Dry sound?? Opinions please There is definitely something wrong with your unit. I would start with a good cleaning and a retube. The 3 is emphatically not a dry sounding preamp when working properly. Having said that, it is also not the most transparent preamp available today. | |
| Quicksilver M60 tube instead of Bryston 3b-st This is the type of question which no one else can answer for "you". It all depends upon what you value in the way of sound. I've owned both and they are both good amps. I personally think the quicksilvers are "better"--but there are many who woul... | |
| Any comfortable Quality headphones... Rather than make a personal recommendation (since ymmv), I would suggest you check out www.headwize.com. There is a lot of headphone information there--and this question has been covered in great detail. I know you'll find the information you need... | |
| Good preamp for Bel Canto EVo 200.2? I would second the Audible Illusions suggestion. I've been using one for 4 years with Bel Canto amps, and am still very pleased. They are available both new and used right here on Audiogon. Mine has been very reliable--but you will need to replace... | |
| help me maximize my sonus faber concertinos I second Blackie. The REL sub is a good way to go. But you might also consider a good electronic crossover--such as a Marchand or Bryston (if you want to keep the Velodyne and/or the NAD). | |
| Help with chosing a new speaker cable. Take a look at puresilversound.com! I'm currently using their octet speaker cable--which replaced AQ Midnight 3. The octet is much better IMHO. | |
| Any other tubes out there? Go yo www.audioasylum--click on "tubes" and do a search for whatever brand you are interested in. It's pretty much all right there. Also, check out www.thetubestore and www.vacuum-tubes-audio. Hope this helps! | |
| Best wires for a ProAc SPK and ARC AMP I'm having very good luck using pure silver sound quartet speaker cables with Proac 3.5 speakers and mono tube amps. They are very high quality combined with very good value. For more information check out their website at www.puresilversound or t... | |
| Bummer ELCO digital cable I'm with Audiofile9. Give them a chance to break in. I'vehad cables that sounded "broken" right out of the box sound very nice after being broken in. | |
| Best Mac tube FM tuner: MR67 or MR71?? The MR-71 is clearly better than the'67--and is the tube tuner which several prominent reviewers use (in modified or rebuilt condition). However, having owned all 3, I would without question or hesitation suggest you get the MR-78. It is way bette... | |
| Best Preamp for under $1750.00 Hi Emmett,I've been using an Audible Illusions L-1 linestage with several different amps (including a Bryston 3B) for about5 years now. It has worked well with all of them. It has been 100% reliable and tubes (6922) are readily available from many... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Hello,Hello,I've owned a pair of Proac 3.5's for 4 years. I still have them and still like them. They are always musically involving and have zero istening fatigue. During that time I've listened to the 2.5's, 3.8's, 4.0's and 5's. The 3.8's are p... | |
| Sonus Fabers and tube amps Hi Mozart,Absolutely! I've listened to Guaneris with quicksilver amps and the combination was just gorgeous. |
