| Triode or Ultralinear To summarize, "4 out of 5 dentists prefer triode". | |
| Transport For Use w/ MF Trivista 21 Solentgreen, what have you learned regarding power cables on the Trivista 21? Everyone, so other than trial and error, any advice on how to decide if a certain transport is likely to be an improvement or not? One potential candidate is the Alesis ... | |
| Reality cables or Grover Huffman Haven't heard the Reality, but I can vouch for general satisfaction with Grover's products and service. His interconnects are a great value, and I've heard them beat many cables that cost 3-4x more in more than one system.I've got some tri-wire sp... | |
| What's the Best LP You Bought in 2008 As usual, Tvad gets IT. Hey, Raul, if you enjoy Dido & Central Reservation(as I do), I heartily recommend the early LPs by Everything But The Girl, all availalbe on vinyl:EdenLove Not MoneyIdlewild(their 4th album, but their masterpiece IMHO).... | |
| Tom Waits, Rain Dogs... Happy to have just found a vinyl copy of Rain Dogs. For me, the differences and points of comparison between Waits & Springsteen both make sense.You're both right. Want something good to argue about, check out Rolling Stone's new "top 100 sing... | |

The point being that they can be used with a wide variety of speakers vs. SETs, a ... | |
| which tube mono blocks? The best options have been mentioned Atma-Sphere MA2, Wolcotts, big VTLs; all will be costly...Cheers,Spencer | |
| "D" amps, general discussion who's 1 and why? Really? I'd love to hear from those who've gone from SET & other tube amps to "D" amps and what they like about the change. I think it's magazine/ad generated hype.My naive opinion is that they are cheap & powerful, good for bass in a bi-a... | |
| What's the Best LP You Bought in 2008 db,Yeah, Wilco - Sky Blue Sky is a real gem. This instrumental finish to Impossible Germany is sublime. One of the most underrated bands IMO. Maybe if they get to play the Obama inauguration, the press coverage will find them some new fans. Jeff T... | |
| Wilson better than Thiels? In my heart, what you need is a turntable, but that's for another thread. Have you access to some other speaker cables to try w/your Thiels, perhaps MIT?You've got a great preamp, and amps that are often paired with Thiels, so it's tough to nail i... | |
| Long IC Cable Run Research Mogami Star Quad...made for you situation. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Wilson better than Thiels? If you can't decide, then there is no reason to do it, save your money.That aside, you need to post your entire system, and tell us what you like/dislike currently, what you hope to achieve, and your budget. Cheers,Spencer | |
