Proper Settings for Rel Strata Sub
I run a Stentor series 2 with Avalon Ascent mk-2's in a dedicated 23x13x8 room.The speakers are 8 ft. from back wall and 3 from sides.I have,after much experimentation,found the sub to run best behind the right speaker, corner loaded,but,22x22inch... 
Kharma 3.2 to MidiGrand Upgade???
I promised to keep quiet after my last post.I lied.I find the little 3.2's too fascinating a speaker to keep quiet about.I did go to GTT AUDIO after they were displayed at the Stereophile show in N.Y.I wanted to hear them set up by the actual dist... 
Kharma 3.2 to MidiGrand Upgade???
Let me put in my two cents worth again,and I'll shut up after that.I think an analogy could be useful here,only because I find the 3.2 with the lamm amps to be one of the most enjoyable and TRULY musical combinations I've heard in my 35 years in t... 
Graham Phantom vs the Graham 2.2
Larry,that is my correct e-mail.Maybe my box was full.Thanks.Don't worry,I was just kidding around a bit yesterday.At least my tennis game has not abandoned me.That was always my first love anyway.In case you are wondering about tennis in snow,I p... 
Graham 2.2 tonearm cables
Nsgarsh,I've read that review and the cable comparison was the ic-30 not the ic-70.Also It's very nice of you to make me that offer,but as of now I'm still in the pondering stage.However my interest in the Purist stuff is real,and may become reali... 
Kharma 3.2 to MidiGrand Upgade???
I must tell you(and this is only my opinion),I do not own a Kharma,a friend owns the 1.0,but I have made a strong effort to hear much of the line.I've heard the 3.2 on many occassion.Without and with the sub.I heard the Midigrand on it's own I tru... 
Graham Phantom vs the Graham 2.2
Cello,now that I've exhausted myself shoveling out of 14 inches,and am expecting 2-4 more inches tomorrow a.m.I am obviously a little down due to the winter doldrums(did I spell that correctly?).I also spent the entire afternoon Saturday disassemb... 
Graham 2.2 tonearm cables
Nsgarsh.Remember,we're talking about replacing(for myself and a friend)the IC-70,which ain't chopped liver.Are you that certain there would be that big a difference?I don't want to have to send you a bill for 2 sets.Also,consider the 2.2 which I h...

I was talking about the Dominus,but,your points about ergonomics,thickness,has to be weighed.I have heard too many great things about the Venustas.Now if I only had the balls to commit to the stuff. 
Graham Phantom vs the Graham 2.2
You guys ALL make very good points.I'd love to have the kind of animated and passionate listening sessions with some of you,as I do with my current pals.However the points made here apply to virtually any Hi-FI component.Amps,Preamps,cabling,espec... 
Graham 2.2 tonearm cables
Thank you for the wonderful feedback.I can see by your systems that you know what you are doing,and are not fooled by the LATEST HAS TO BE BEST ATTITUDE that many people are too inclined to believe will give best sound.A NEW QUESTION:Any thoughts ... 
does anyone know about c-j premier 5 monos?
The comments above are absolutely perfect advice.I have a friend(retired and a very serious vinyl collector)that had this amp for years,listened virtually every day(comparing old vs. new pressings)and had NO problems at all.They also sounded virtu... 
Graham Phantom vs the Graham 2.2
Raul,while I,unlike so many other audiogoners,feel that you are a well meaning and knowledgeable audio hobbyist,you don't know what you are talking about regarding the differences between a good pivot and the Air Tangent or Kuzma arms.As you proba... 
Graham Phantom vs the Graham 2.2
Cello.PLEASE, do follow up on that comparison! 
Difference between Amperex 6922 pinched waist tube
Based upon the last comment made about 'tube ego'I must tell you that a very good friend of mine recently dropped 1350 US dollars on a total of 9 tubes.These were 6 TELE 6922 cca's and 3 regular low noise 6922's.He has the same pre-amp as me,a hig...
