Electrocompaniet ECI 4
i tink the electro amps are as good as it gets for solid-state. i currently use a pair of aw60ftt's in a vertically-biamped set-up w/excellent results. i am not familiar w/their integrated amps, tho. i have an older electro preamp - the ec-1a, whi... 
TEACH ME ABOUT BI-WIRE
702, ewe say: "Sedond: You say bi-wiring makes your speakers sound better. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't, maybe it's real, maybe it's all imaginary. I don't have any reason to believe that it does (the hypothesis you mentioned doesn't add any w... 
Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ???
hey 702, *relax* man, it's a *yoke*! as i said before: "sorry, couldn't resist."seriously, tho, other than knowing ewe have contributed to the music scene, but knowing *nothing* about your tastes in music *or* equipment, my *yoke* has yust as much... 
PS ultimate outlet
dekay, if steve bruzonsky still has any vans evers unlimiters left, (adwertized here on a-gon), i tink yule be wery happy w/them for only $325. i bought two for my amps, but w/only one in use, i got *no* restriction in dynamics from my two electro... 
Best CD player under 5000
czbbcl, what kinda preamp do ya have? i, too, was innerested in better cd-sound, but i listen to fm & analog more than cd, so i *really* wanted to upgrade my preamp. in the process, i found that a killer toob preamp (mite be true w/killer s/s ... 
Best value speakers available
i"m *hoping* the newform research r645, @ $2265 delivered, or the nhb645 for ~$200 more, is a giant-killer. everyting i've read about 'em sez they're *it* for me, but ya gotta hear 'em before ya know for sure! :>) i've been saving for a pair fo... 
Melos SHA-1 preamplifier
i heard the sha-gold a couple years ago, & it was great as-is - i can imagine the mods would *really* make it sweet. i had melos audio restorations update my ma-333 to a maestro & am wery happy with it/them. if/when they ever come out w/a ... 
Replacing my preamp???
there's a melos sha-gold f/s here on a-gon for $700. send it to melos audio restorations in vegas for their upgrades (keep the photentiometer wolume control if it's still in good shape). it'll still be less than $1500, & it's a steal at the pr... 
Lets fight Part2
yup, dan - i believe ewe hit the nail on the head. a perusal of my comments on similar threads indicates my belief that a-gon likes the woting cuz it garners more *hits* on their site. but, i believe this will backfire on them in the long run, as ... 
Lets fight Part2
cornfed - i, too, asked a-gon when the woting nonsense wood end, or at least change. they said it wood change soon, but that it woodn't end, cuz, tho they've gotten complaints from the likes of ewe-n-me, they've also gotten *more* support. ?!? fro... 
Cartridge for an old GRACE 707?
if i'm not mistaken, my grace 727, which came on my used oracle also, is wery similar to the 707. joe is rite - heavy cartridges don't mate too well w/these arms. my ~11-gram ortofon had me adjusting the counterweight past its end-stop to get it t... 
Basis or Michell GyroDec
get a wall-mount stand for your turntable, if flooring is a problem. re: 'tables, i'd consider a used oracle. i updated my used oracle to mk-v specs, except for the motor-power/supply, which i replaced w/an origin-live motor-p/s. i also installed ... 
Logans and Heavy Metal?
check out newform research r645 - 91db/1w/1m 
CEMENT SPEAKERS - anyone remember these?
dac, was ir rauna*? 
Any suggestions for improvements?
yup, money is definitely a consideration. my oracle is updated to all mk-v specs, except for the motor/power-supply, which is the o-l unit. as set-up, w/the o-l arm, i've got $1800 into it - which includes the cost of the 'table. not exactly cheap...
