| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Dover:What's your address? I want to send you a cigar! | |
| Unusual TAS bomb Dodgealum:Yep, I remember. I was a senior in high school when I bought my first TAS subscription, starting with the double issue 21/22, quite a big deal back then. I kept up the scrip for maybe 10 years before abandoning. The trend had already sta... | |
| Rethinking my system: Your ideas are appreciated Alderash:I found myself in a similar situation a couple of years ago, after moving my system into a newly-expanded Great Room (30'x30'x12'). I made the correct decision for my situation by upsizing my speakers to Tyler Woodmeres. What I noticed wa... | |
| Turntable recommendation A used SOTA vacuum table would fit the bill nicely. | |
| Programmable remotes I have used the Osiris product with good results over 5 years. | |
| How many still listen to CD's daily. I listen every weekend, mostly all weekend, beginning Friday evenings. Squeezebox is regular background music when distracted; CDs are played every day; Vinyl is the real treat and is also played every day. I can't explain why, but I always feel b... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Well, I am hoping that my CODA 15.0 lasts me the rest of my life. I don't feel as if it is lacking in any area. I am exceedingly pleased with it and have no plans of looking further. | |
| Vinyl Shops in Munich and Salzburg Slipknot:I spent 4 days in Salzburg last Sept/Oct and don't recall seeing any vinyl shops. But I can heartily recommend Sporer Schnapps shop on the main drag. Save a few bucks after your LP hunting for a few glasses of spirit. Nothing like it I've... | |
| ARC's new REF-75 I will offer my opinions on the sound of that room at the show, just to give another perspective. I have no dog in this fight, and I will try to be as kind as I can, so as not to attract rotten eggs flinging in my direction. I did not stay long in... | |
| Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k? I also liked Jonathan Tinn's room, both analog and digital rigs. I, too, was impressed with the little Evolution speakers, although they were being pushed by some mighty expensive gear. I don't think anyone mentioned the first floor Hilton room sh... | |
| DAC msb The Platinum DAC IV advertised price is US$6K, which is less than E5.5K. Ciro, is that not a good path for you (again)?Chuck- thanks for explaining. The Signature DAC is twice the price of the Platinum. Have you compared the two, and do you have a... | |
| DAC msb I heard the MSB Platinum DAC 4 at Newport last week and was quite impressed. It was used with the MSB transport and power base, MSB 200W Class A amp and YG speakers. Chuck, can you offer any reasons why you are considering selling yours? And speci... | |
| Can I still buy Quad ESL63 with no repair record? I had ESL 63s for 25 years and loved them. I was a bit paranoid about arcing, and when I saw one spark while listening in the dark at high volume, I sent them off to Quad USA for assessment. They said no damage really, but they replaced the two mi... | |
| General comments on SOTA I bought my SOTA Sapphire 6 months out of college in 1986 and a year later upgraded it to the vacuum version, then called the Star. It served me flawlessly for 25 years. End of last year I sent it to SOTA and traded it in for a new Cosmos IV. Thes... | |
| are some phono stages more resistant to hum? Thanks, Lewm. I will check out that possibility in my next step. |
