| The Last Breakthrough in Speaker Technology Martin Logan's curved electrostatic panel. | |
| Turntable Hiss It makes more sense to find a cartridge to match the preamp. | |
| help me pick a DAC to go w/ Manley Stingray DAC to go with Stingray? What about the speakers? I'm always amazed by how much the sound takes on the character of the transport. | |
| GNSC ugrade for Audio Research preamp If the work is done by another company I would call it a mod not an upgrade. Upgrades are performed by the manufacturer. If you want to buy an upgrade for ARC I recommend talking to ARC. Maybe they have an update and your resale value will remain ... | |
| Vandersteen 2C vs. Klipsch Cornwall I recently had an enlightening experience with vintage horn loaded speakers in a second hand store. We connected the speakers to a Bogen integrated amp of the same vintage. The speaker wire was 24 gauge connected directly to the crossover. I put o... | |
| Building a listening room in new house; Texas? I forgot what we were talking about. | |
| Most powerful and popular EL34 tube amp? The VTL Compact 100 monos come up from time to time and they are excellent amplifiers for $1,000 depending on condition and age of tubes with 4 EL34 output tubes per amplifier. I used them to drive full range electrostatic speakers. They should dr... | |
| What to do next . . .? I was all for changing the preamp for a used CJ with tubes until I found out about the 12X12 room. The 2Ce speakers are way too big for your room. Get smaller speakers first then a tube preamp. | |

| Luxman CL-35MKIII or Audio Research SP-8 Ecclectique, Like I said, think SP-10 in one chassis. No joke, one of the best phone stages around at any price. | |
| Speakers for 55 watts of EL-34 tube power ? I agree with Lokie. Living Voice are great speakers with tube amps. I used Living Voice with Dynaco MKIII 60 watt monos and Scott LK-150 65 watt stereo amp. Both sounded great with Living Voice although Living Voice prices are high for what they are. | |
| Tailoring tweeter output I used to listen with grills off. Now I prefer the sound with the grills on. With the grills on I hear the music. The speaker becomes more seamless as if the speaker grill is the first stage of room treatment. Sure, you might hear more detail in s... | |
| An Experiment in Speaker Placement If you are in a 15"X18" room set up on the long wall you need room treatment. Is that your chair backed up to the windows? Talk your wife into some heavy window treatment and leave the opposite wall (behind the speakers) alive. If the listening se... | |
| Luxman CL-35MKIII or Audio Research SP-8 Porto, You did not answer. What SP-8 are you referring to. I assure you there is a big difference between an SP-8 and an SP-8MKII. |
