| Platform for amp Definitely not granite, it stores energy and it rings. I plan to use maple butcher block on Walker Audio Valid Points with my tube amps (100lb monoblocks) based on what I've heard in other people's systems. Alternatively, many people report great ... | |
| good match for Atma-Sphere M60 And another Hyperion HPS938 review link:http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/hyperion/938.htmlGood suggestion, Joe. Srajan's comments make this speaker sound like another good match for the M-60s. . | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? I like the Solti performance, but the most accessible recording of the Mahler #1 that I have is the Jascha Horenstein performance with the London Symphony Orchestra, on Unicorn RHS 301. Solti captures the drive and the energy (as only Sir Georg ca... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Sbank, agree with you about the Gary Karr - Adagio d'Albinoni on vinyl; that King SuperAnalogue pressing is awfully good. The double bass is alternately massively overwhelming, and then very delicate and subtle.So, what did you think of "Smile" af... | |
| good match for Atma-Sphere M60 You're welcome. Hope you find something you like. The amp is a great amp, and it's well worth matching it off to speakers that allow it to shine.BTW, I agree with Sdatch's recommendation to consider the Totem's Tatu or Forest speakers, just not th... | |
| Purist Audio, Elrod or Shunyata power cord? The Omega Mikro power cords have been superb in several systems in which I've heard them, including my own. And they have returned the magic to several systems using comparably priced cables that just didn't honor the music as well in the context ... | |

| Has anyone replaced tubes in Aesthetix Rhea ? Sounds like a tube (or tubes), Stew. Only way to know is to swap 'em and see. Let us know how you make out once you change them.. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Larry, nice to see someone else posting some classical. Enjoyed reading your list - looks like it's been a nice day of great music for you! (Including the Beatles and Fleetwood Mac). | |
| good match for Atma-Sphere M60 OK, list, no theory. The Atma-Sphere M-60 will match well to virtually any speaker made by the following companies:Reference 3ACoincidentMerlin (would be even better match with the MA-1 for more power)Classic Audio Reproductions ProAcSpendor: SP S... | |
| Digital Recording Telefunken Vinyl Wdi, I have a number of classical music LPs in my collection that are digital recordings. Overall I prefer an all analog recording and mastering chain for best sound. But, quite a few of the digitally recorded LPs in my collection have very nice s... | |
| OK, I made the leap... I'm going to offer a contrarian's opinion on the record cleaning machine. I own a one (VPI HW-17) and I use it all the time. But, it is not *necessary*, imo. Convenient, yes. Necessary, no. CLEANING our LPs is necessary, but this can be done very ... | |
| Has anyone replaced tubes in Aesthetix Rhea ? Hi Thomas, thanks for sharing your similar experience. It could also be that there was some break in occurring in the tube sockets. I've heard of this happening with a new unit where the connection of the sockets and the tube pins needed some burn... | |
| OK, I made the leap... Bnc, I'm not going to low ball you on a recommendation. If you're serious about getting into analog at better sound quality than your Moon Eclipse, you probably ought to plan on a budget of $2500-3500, and it goes up from there. Here's one option,... | |
