| Have I mismatched my preamp/amp? My understanding is that Nelson Pass publishes his designs on the condition that they are not used for commercial purposes. This is much discussed at diyaudio.com | |
| SET Amp for Harbeth P7ES3 What size room are we talking here? No experience with that exact combo, but that sounds a little low powered for the Harbeths... | |
| Good Tube Selection for Atma Sphere S30? Atmasphere, does this apply to the 6AS7s as well? You'd said above that power tubes from Russia were fine... | |
| New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener? Oh, happy to turn on anyone to Lambchop. "Damaged" is ironically enough the LP I have that is damaged. Also my favorite of theirs. Seeing Lambchop and Belle & Sebastian back to back with their full accompaniment was a real treat 6 or 7 years b... | |
| New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener? I've got a mighty warped Lampchop LP I could send you to put it through its paces. Totally unplayable as is. And simple well-recorded material. Or maybe I finally just pull the trigger on one of these myself... | |
| New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener? Yeah, evaluating an improvement in sound or correct sound based on a shoegaze album is a bit tricky for sure. | |

A number of folks had recommended this on other forums. (Full disclosure: I am selling this table o... | |
| New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener? Based on my understanding from conversation with Vinyl Flat, multiple rounds may be required for more warped records. Especially 180g I would expect. | |
| Who is your favorite jazz pianist Keith JarrettThelonius Monk | |
| Affordable "audiophile" network player? Much more versatile would be something like a used Mac Mini. Love mine and control it from my phone, laptop, or could set up a keyboard & mouse and use it through the TV. You'd probably want to get an Intel version. But these can be found arou... | |
| Best Rock Album in 2011 For you fans of Mastodon and heavier music, check out The Atlas Moth's album. From the Pitchfork best metal of 2011 list: "On their sophomore LP, the psychedelic, progressive Chicago quintet uses multiple vocalists, three guitarists, bass, and dru... | |
| Critical Listening Training Document I came across a downloadable program or something like that (maybe it was just a recording) that also tries to teach good listening. It is on my old had drive but I will try to dig it up and post a link here once I figure out what it was... | |
| Which direction should I go? If you can live without a lot of bass (or would consider a sub or 2), I think you will get a better sounding bookshelf speaker. There are a lot of great options at the sub-$2k level. The ones that have caught my attention (and which I hope to audi... | |
| Redgum amplifiers Haven't heard these amps, but the praise they've had certainly put them on my radar. And they now offer a remote option! |
