| Top Ten Turntables of All Time?? I have had little experiene with some of the elite turntables, mainly brief audtioning in audio shops, but those that have been in my possession or close ear are as follows. My favorite to date is the Clearudio Reference with Clearaudio Souther to... | |
| Why are NOS tubes considered superior? In nearly all my audio gear certain NOS tubes have been superior to those fitted by the manufacture. So many have not been making audiitoning a neccessity. If you develop a relationship with some of the NOS tube suppliers, most likely opportunity ... | |
| Vinyl vs. CD I have been partial towards vinyl ever since I got into this insideous "time consumer" hobby, which I love. I have owned several front ends in both vinyl and cd. Early NAD, then California Audio, followed by Wadia, Sonic Frontiers and a slew of au... | |
| Opinions on Threshold Amplifiers I enjoyed the SA300(I believe), back in the late 80s. I had traded my Mcintosh intergrated for this used Threshold. I thought I had reached the audio pinnacle. Not to be. The electronics, in my opinion, of the latest generation, especially solid s... | |
| Shipping hassles with FEDEX Hi Boeskerp, Thanks, for responding. Any suggestions on how I can make contact with the proper individual. One that will look into bringing this to a close, by either reimbursing me or claiming non-responsibility? Thanks | |
| Shipping hassles with FEDEX Thanks for feedback. I need to iterate that approaching the heirarchy within Fedex has been impoosible, since no call backs have been received. For most of my dealings, I have shown patience and an attempt to understand the difficulties he Fedex e... | |
| Your favorite Cello recording "A Lasting Inspiration" Jacqueline Du Pre | |
| Best Cartridge cost no object Have to hear them all to JUDGE. Do listen to the Lyra Helikon, though. It just may replace my Accurate. | |
| Whats the best and quietest 12AX7 tube Telefunkens are great, but I recently replaced my stock 12AX7 with a Heintz & Kaufman Gammatron, made in the USA. Just great. Fast and almost as musical as Tele's. Application will dictate, so experiment. | |
| Bel-Canto Evo THE best amp? Remarkably interesting sound generated from this amp. Every note, in detail could be heard. But I sat. When I usually move, rock, hum, wiggle, I just sat. No soul. Almost like a ghost. I didn't understand. It was all there, yet..... | |
| Tired of same ol' CD'd... Buena Vista Social Club. Fun and more fun. Alchemist, by Plilp Pickett. Cool replication of 17th century and earlier. Most enjoyable. "Jazz Divas" Studio. So much, so few listening hours. | |
| Best Vanishing speakers I have not read through the thread, but Eidelon has apparently been selected before. With the CAT amps and Jadis preamp, vinyl makes these babies completely disappear. Even instruments stereoed to emanate from one speaker reates a wrap-around effe... | |
| Best solid-state amp made anywhere Haven't heard enough, since tubes is my bag, but the new Krell Cast amps (forgive me, dear Lord) coupled with the Cast preamp. Pretty damn musical. And not a bad bottom either. | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Bach's Flute concerto. If that doesn't ache try any of Coltranes' mid-sixties innovative work. If that don't hurt I don't know what will. | |
| Power Cord for CAT I have CAT amps. FIM is thrilling. |
