| Creek Destiny -- Maggies? I can only say at first I thought my 1.6's sounded fine with a 180watt into 4 OHM amp till a friend brought over his 300rms@4ohm which was a large step up.next time he cameover he brought his heavily modded and rebuilt Hafler 500(friend is a retir... | |
| what speakers to buy?? Vandersteens have always been a greaqt match for Mac amps. | |
| How old is too old? I'm over 70 and if it floats my boat I'm buying more water!Just got a new set of Aural Thrills Zenith spk. cables Sat. for cheap off A-gon and they are blowing away myHT Pro 9,DNM,Morrow SP4 et all big time.I'm HAPPY ! | |
| Leave the turntable running? Yes,but holes are not uniform,you dont want to be tuggingon a record while platter turning. | |
| Biwire jumpers as speaker cables? You can always make cables shorter,longer not so easy,To me would depend on price of jumpers. | |
| Biwire jumpers as speaker cables? Why not ? IMHO though I think 7 ft is about the minimum for any given cable to sound its best. | |
| Speaker help - short list needed At that price would be hard to beat Vandeersteens as a sure thing,tho I belive some KEF models can be had that will best them in clarity and musicality, | |
| interconnect upgrade Question No brainer,go for ZU-best deal in audio.Stereovox is a winner too but no better and costs more.I own both. | |
| Turntable interconnect If I had an easily replaceabe cable I would try a ZU just because they speak with straight tongue-Kimo Sabee. | |

| Warm, fullbodied, smooth, and transparent Straightwire Encores fill that bill and cheap(relatively). | |
| Tube preamp with the "most" for 1k used, 2k new? Van Alstine has a used 4Si on his web site for around $450,not the last word in depth but with good 12AX7's in line stage(Orange Globe Amperex a treat)a very musical prewith a clear,sweet and accurate sound.Also decent headphone and phono amps. | |
| Your impressions on Paradigm Studio 60 v5? Harsh bordering upon shrill,cleary voiced for rock,probaly wise as thats over 90% of whats listened to. | |
| Why Do You Still Have Vinyl if You Don't Play it? Same reason I have pictures of long dead relatives,to bathe my spirit in memories of better times. | |
| Tube Pre to mate with Parasound JC-1s & Maggies? EE minimax is quite lively. |
