| Power amp for Audio Aero Capital 11 The best ss combo with Avalons that I've heard has been with Spectral. I used to mate Radian HCs with a Spectral DMA180II. The newer 150 would be better. Charles Hansen, of Ayre, founded Avalon, and has been rumoured to voice his amps w/Avalon spe... | |
| 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 &... |
