| Need thoughts on Canary & Cary Are you planning on using the amp to drive the VR Jr's or some other speaker? This will be a big determinant of what result you'll get. The 300b amps in general are lower power and will need a very efficient speakers to sound their best. They tend... | |
| preamp for berning/merlin/audio aero system Kevin,In my experience, the Berning sounds lousy without a preamp. It does plenty great, but it isn't Superman. I don't know a single user who has tried any of the preamps mentioned above and concluded to run the Berning direct. Also, unless plans... | |

| Arcade Fire; what song did they do on SNL Both are worth getting. Vinyl of Funeral is mediocre pressing quality, but the music is good. So far, I like the music on the new album even better. Vinyl isn't out yet. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Arcade Fire; what song did they do on SNL I grabbed the CD yesterday @ Circuit City for $7.98.Yes, the first track on SNL was "Intervention". WXPN and World Cafe have been playing another track. After a couple of listens, I am impressed. This is a great band, with the potential to build a... | |
| Bill Evans Vinyl on Riverside Jaybo makes a fine point.Additionally, the Fantasy 45 rpm re-issues of Bill Evans are disgustingly good. Waltz For Debby is really special. Cheers,Spencer | |
| Audio Horizon Preamp Kensetsu,I have no doubt that the stuff you are concerned with occurs, but not on this thread. Yes, you're right that if every contributor posted his system w/photos, we'd all be better off. Yes, it's odd that no one has said that they've "been Mr... | |
| I'd love some help/opinions The Ayre V3 is one of the better sounding solid state amps. IMHO, it will give you more natural sounding midrange and treble vs. the Bryston, and more details than the Classe. Relatively speaking, the Bryston is known mostly for its dynamic drive ... | |
| best classical LP labels Mercurys are widely cherished. If you change the question to "make", then Speakers Corner reissues have got to be near the top of the list. Rushton is the guy whose answer here should be worth reading...Cheers,Spencer | |
| Arcade Fire; what song did they do on SNL That was a great SNL performance!Anybody know if it will be released on vinyl like the last one was? Cheers,Spencer | |
| TNT6 Platter speed Loki,You will need the KAB more than once. Over time, belt wear, etc. could cause minor variations. It's worth checking once every other month or so. Also, check at both 33 and 45 when you do it. Cheers,Spencer | |
| TNT6 Platter speed I always run my TNT6 with my Walker Motor Controller. When you buy the Walker, it comes with a KAB strobe included, so you can accurately/easily check the speed. The KAB is a great way to make sure speed is accurate. Yes, I agree that it should be... | |

| preamp for berning/merlin/audio aero system Bobby from Merlin uses Joule Electra in his system, and now there's a new version that he has which is supposed to be even better(LA150 Mark II). Definitely synergy there with great full-bodied portrayal of instruments and very natural tonality. B... | |
| Cartridge/RFI Guys,I've been dealing w/similar issues for over a year, being located near a large radio tower. Most of what's been said above is generally on track. Sometimes all the little nits add up to a big problem, so attack RFI in every way possible.- As ... |
