| Need help with buying decision-mains check out the Onyx Rockets on av123.com. I bought them as a downgrade from Aerials that cost $10k, and I couldn't be more pleased. If you buy a package they discount significantly. It makes little sense to buy these used, since the packages make u... | |
| Opinions on Sunfire Amps I think they're very under-rated, because of experiences like Bigjoes. When I was a lad, I sold Carver gear, and quietly laughed whenever someone bought it, because to my ears and college student's wallet, it was a bad decision. The Sunfire is com... | |
| BAT or ARC Part of the issue might be the relative darkness of the SF. If you ever switch to a speaker with more top enough emphasis, the ARC might make it seem too much of a good thing. I like the BAT gear quality and think it will give you more freedom if ... | |
| Nottingham Interspace TT/Arm vs Used Linn Lp12 Take 4yanx advice and go w/the Interspace. I've heard many state that even the Horizon will compete w/the Linn. Recommend a Shelter 501 II if you can find one in budget or Dynavector 10x5 or Denon 103 otherwise. Spencer | |

| Best and Worst Websites in Audio'dom Albert,A legendary mystical audio guru told me that if you align 3 Furbys on top of your speakers in an equilateral triangle...But semi-seriously, not much funnier than taking nice Lowther horns or high $ Avalons, and plopping $0.75 worth of brigh... | |
| Hardest component to decide on Room treatments are tough for me. They are all unacceptable to my spouse. Comparisons and listening tests are difficult at best. Many products are so different from each other it's hard to get any idea what impact will be in a given room/system. S... | |
| Best and Worst Websites in Audio'dom Eldragon, what can I say...posted on a "strong brew morning". Have you checked out the mi-horns? I'm not the only one.Cheers, Spencer | |
| Best and Worst Websites in Audio'dom Audiogon & audioasylum have got to be tops! Rives sight is really cool & helpful, too. Absolutesound's sight is the worst in my eyes. Compared to all the other e-zine sights, there is nothing but a flashing "pay me for useful anything" sig... | |
| Is there a SS amp that can offer tube bliss? Sam,This begs the question, what tube amp is giving you all these worries? Tubes in my Berning amp will last 10 years, and need no biasing. Maybe a different tube amp is the solution.FWIW, the Pass Labs single-ended ss amps are sort of tube-like. ... | |
| Records of the Year 2003 Ben, Thanks for the heads up. Worth a road trip to see him, if you get the chance. Cheers, Spencer | |
| Buzz through speakers w/amp on & pre off Could be a ground loop. Try a cheater plug on your amp, then move it to your pre. Just went through same thing. Cheater plug on my pre solved it. Cheers, Spencer | |
| Records of the Year 2003 I can't disagree with Ben; he likes David Sylvian! Ben ever get to see him live? I was fortunate enough to see him in a small venue in Philly about a year ago. He did everything I could hope for from The Art of Parties to Secrets From the Beehive(... | |
| Records of the Year 2003 Zaikes, would never do that to you! Any Flaming Lips fan automatically gets categorized as open-minded-good-guy.Spencer |
