| Preamps for $300 to match with B&K st-140? I have used a Counterpoint 7.1 tube pre with the ST140 for a long time. A very musical combo. They can be had for 275.00 to 350.00 pre owned. | |
| Moving from Magnepan MGIIIA to 3.6 Tireguy,Thanks for the info. I went through the thread. Perhaps I'll save some money for now and put some effort into my existing XOs. I must say that I have never had any quibbles with the 3A, but they are a little long in the tooth age-wise. I k... | |

| Power conditioner for amps My favorite outlets have been those supplied for us by AudiogoN member Albert Porter. His "Porter Ports" are cryo version Hubbells. Albert is one of the most well-informed and helpful folks around. On a couple of occassions, he has arranged a grou... | |
| Power conditioner for amps If you intend to use the high current UO, it includes a power port. If you want an aftermarket PC on it, make sure it uses a 20A connector as the HC 20A version has that type of inlet on it. The Juice Bar has 3 Power Ports and you can use an after... | |
| Bill Frisell Bill Frisell is very nicely represented on the soundtrack to"Finding Forrester". As a bonus, the soundtrack also gives you Miles Davis, and the "Great Iz" doing his medly of "Over The Rainbow/Wonderful World". | |
| Calix speakers - anyone heard them? Never heard them, but I must say that the big flagship model looks like it was designed by Storm Thorgerson of Hipgnosis (think of some of Pink Floyd's inflatibles and animation...) | |
| Power conditioner for amps Tom,That was my response to your thread. The PS Audio Ultimate Outlets are readily available from a number of online retailers new, but, in an effort to support the sellers here at the 'GoN, there are always both high current and standard versions... | |
| It's No Fun Being a Guru Anymore I call it the "Audio/Video Interiors" syndrome. If you have perused that periodical of late, you will see some very nicely appointed dwellings crammed with expensive, out-of-site components with performance somewhere between mediocre and (fill in ... | |
| Large platform for power amp and more... Jdombrow is quite correct when he mentions resonance issues. A 6 ft long piece of maple could give you trouble. If you got yourself 3 rock maple butcher blocks of the size I am thinking of (23" x 19") you would have just under 6 ft of usable space... | |
| Power conditioner for amps Tom,If you have dedicateds run, try to have as many installed as you think you might need down the road. It's cheaper by a long shot to have them all done at once, rather than have the electrician come back because you need 1 or 2 more. If you hav... | |
| Large platform for power amp and more... Get yourself a couple of large rock maple butcher blocks (John Boos' Boos Blocks are the best IMHO), position them end-to-end and couple them to the surface using threaded Audiopoints cones. | |
