| Cheap Power Cord for Music Hall A 25.2 Integrated The Tube Audio Design ILJ Power Cord is available direct from TAD for a whole $29 and it is fabulous. Solid, quiet, well balanced. Highly recommended! | |
| Use my ICs for guitar rig? Thanks for the thoughtful reply. My rig is non-balanced.Here's my set up:Parker Fly Deluxe guitar w/piezo, using stereo output; Acoustic pickup into Fishman Aura preamp, VanAmps Soulmate spring reverb, Morley Little Alligator volume pedal, out to ... | |
| Best match for Cary SLP98 Preamp Ditto the recommend on the Cary V12 - and you can easily switch from the sweeter triode mode to the more powerful ultralinear operation when you need more oomph. Great match with the SLP98! | |
| Help Father of the bride dance song. I have used "Turn Around" as sung by Nanci Griffith from the album "Other Voices, Other Rooms" for years - (I perform at a lot of weddings, and I often DJ the receptions.)IMHO, it's less syrupy than Butterfly Kisses and Daddy's Little Girl, but ev... | |
| Clearview Golden Helix and Double Helix cables I have had the opposite experience - once did a budget cable shoot out over the course of two or three weeks with these, Audio Art, Morrow, Anti-Cables, and a few others, and the Mapleshades lost, badly. YMMV, of course, as I find cables are oh so... | |
| Laurie Anderson "Homeland" Thanks for the tip, I didn't know she was still recording. Can't wait to listen and be moved! | |
| Morrow SP1 or SP2 cable vs Speltz Anti-Cable? After extended listening, I found the Anti Cables sounded somewhat artificial and reduced the soundstage noticeably. No such problem with the Morrows - very musical, and highly recommended! Hoiwever, as cables are so system dependent, I would sugg... | |
| Cowboy Junkies junky needs to expand I'll second the Over the Rhine recommendation - get the "Ohio" album (available on vinyl from their website) you won't regret it!Also, Madeleine Payroux's latest "Bare Bones" is excellent, she has many of those same smoky qualities to her voice as... | |

| Interconnects under $100 RCA for phono to preamp I highly recommend the Morrow Audio MA-1 cables, $119 and right now on sale for additional 25% off using "show" in the cart promo space. These are incredibly good cables, and the sale price makes them a steal. 60 day trial to see if they work for ... | |
| Turntable recommendations under $1500 I'll second the VPI Scout recommendation - see Art Dudley's review in Stereophile - he was right, VPI knocked this one right out of the park! Right around your budget too! | |
| Shindo Auriges vs. Cary SLP98 Thanks all for the great feedback!Teajay & Tholt, thanks for the advice. Macdadtexas, you've echo'd my thoughts - you know, I really do love the Cary too. Aronsss, you've brought up an interesting point - in my dedicated room, the ICs are righ... | |
| Audio Physic Scorpio II room problems I agree with Simon74 - my Virgos are also in a smallish room, and set up nearfield, toed in, there are no problems at all with the woofs, or anything else for that matter - they simply sound spectacular. Highly recommended. |
