| Regarding people selling equipment to U.S.A. only I sold a center channel speaker from Pennsylvania to Korea. Bought tubes from Hong Kong & Italy. No problems on any deals. It's a small world for audiophiles. Cheers, Spencer | |
| new Classe Delta line FYI, just read a bit in the new S'phile mentioning that Classe has hired one of the designers from Madrigal/Mark Levinson(the brand, not the guy), and he was involved in the new line. Perhaps some of his influence has contributed to the higher pri... | |
| Shelter 501 Mk 2 vs. Dynavector Karat 17D2 Mk2 I'm one of those folks that TWL refers to. My 501II is a good match w/my Spacearm & Spacedeck. With the neutral and revealing upstream of Berning ZH270 & Merlin VSM-MX, I can safely say that the system isn't slow or overly lush sounding at... | |
| How many years before MP3 becomes king? Go Ozzy!Cheers, Spencer | |
| Cary CD-308t vs. Audio Research CD3 players Big price difference I think between them. The 303/200 is probably closer in price to the cd3. Cheers, Spencer | |
| Ham Radio Interference from next door neighboor Wizard,Sure that solves the problem, but the plastique idea is much more entertaining ;-P .Cheers, Spencer | |
| Still pondering Paradigms 2chnlben,When I went searching for a mid-priced HT setup, I heard the 40s and thought they sounded pretty good for what they were. The more competition I listened to, the worse in comparison the Paradigms fared. Most important to know: what amp ar... | |
| Tenor amp / Coincident Total Victory combo I thought part of the beauty of the Coincident line is that it's designed super high efficiency to use w/low power single ended amps, as you are using now. I'd guess that the Tenor would be overkill, and although it might sound nice, would really ... | |
| Spacedeck compared with Gyrodec SE The Spacearm/Shelter 501 combo works great. That's what I bought based on recommendations of others here. No problem using the Shelter w/the Spacearm. The 501 has .4mv output, sort of on the low side; you might want to double check that the 834 ha... | |
| Spacedeck compared with Gyrodec SE Kirk,Glad to see you followed up by posting the question here. Sounds like you've narrowed it down to 2 great TTs. When I suggested the Spacedeck/Spacearm to you, I didn't go into detail as to what led me to that turntable. These are my own opinio... | |

| Some blues suggestions R L Burnside - Wish I Was In Heaven Sitting Down. Awesome bluesy album with the saddest stories I've ever heard. "Amazon.com's Best of 2000R.L. Burnside's background is pure Mississippi Delta--he was raised in the hill country and musically traine... | |
| Aerial 7B vs. Thiel 2.4 Exertfluffer,Yeah, I guess we are in "violent agreement" here, furthering your point that Robk really should try to hear these before deciding. As to the DVD mix sub-topic, you raise an interesting fact about perferated screens w/speakers behind t... | |
| Aerial 7B vs. Thiel 2.4 While Exertfluffers comments above make good sense, but I reach the opposite conclusion. I've owned both Thiels (3.6s) and the Aerial 7Bs/CC3/SR3s, and have also auditioned the Thiel 2.4s(2 channel only) at a top Thiel dealer w/good matched gear &... | |
| Best midrange on SS amp ? If your are looking for s.o.t.a ss amps, you must consider Spectral. They don't look like much, but they are very good for ss. Pass Labs is another great option, that IMHO is closer to the magic of tubes. If $$$ is unlimited Halcro, too. However, ... |
