| Where R U????? I Live in beautiful Loveland, Ohio. It's a small suburb on the north end of Cincinnati. | |
| 6H23 tube Ya or Na ? I have a set of these tubes in my Modulus 3A that I got from Upscale Audio. They sound fantastic! They are much more dynamic than the stock tubes although maybe not quite as quiet, but not near as noisey as NOS tubes. I have compared these tubes t... | |
| Japanese remastered CDs - Steely Dan in particular I Would bet you that the standard issue of Steely Dan's Gaucho on LP would blow ANY CD version away. | |
| Help with contacting Audible Illusions When I sent my preamp in for new volume controls I had heard all the horror stories about AI. From the time I shipped the unit until the time it was back at my door was 2 weeks. You can't ask for better than that. This was my expierence. | |
| What's Up Wth Ultimate Audio Magazine ? I spoke with one of the reviewers from Ultimate Audio and he said that they were affected by tha Sept. 11th. tragedy, but they hope to have the next issue out around New Year's. | |
| Help with contacting Audible Illusions You can also e-mail them off the Manufacturers List on Audiogon. I have done this several times and they have always answered within a day. | |
| Abraxas - 180 gram audiophile pressings? I have the German Reissue. It is by Audiophile Record Service out of Hamburg, Germany. It sounds great! I have had mine for quite a while, but I think I got it through Music Direct. | |
| New to Vinyl and need immediate help I feel that you can't do better for the money than the Audible Illusions M3A preamp. The sound rivals much more expensive pre's and if you use a low output MC cartridge the Gold board is said to be fantastic. I just contacted AA to see about havin... | |
| Crosby, Stills & Nash Album Deju Vu I believe MoFi released it, but it has been out of print for a long time and with MoFi out of business, it costs some big bucks to obtain it. I have seen it for sale on Audiophile International for around $200-$250. I think Simply Vinyl also relea... | |
| Cheap Tweak..Mass Loading Sorry guys, I did not mean to imply that mass loading would work in every case for everyone, only that it is a cheap tweak to try before spending big bucks on upgrades. | |
| Combinations that exceeded your expectations? ARC 100/2 power amp, Audible Illusions preamp, Gallo Nucleus Reference Speakers. This is an unbelieveable combo. I have been into audio for 25 years and I am finally satisfied. Now I just concentrate on enjoying music. | |
| Phono Preamps, help Thanks for the response. Can you answer one more question for me please? If you listen to the phono sections in different preamps, each will have it's own sound. If you add a head amp, or pre-preamp to boost the signal in a phono stage that is not... | |
| Audio Research Convert... My 100.2 is mated with an Audible Illusions M3A preamp and they are a PERFECT match! If you own the AI M3A preamp, give the AR100.2 a try. They are a match made in heaven. Since purchasing my Gallo speakers I really feel that my system is complete... | |
| AR 100.2 or Aragon 8008BB? I bought mine on Audiogon for $2000 and it was only 6 months old. Remind the dealer that Audio Research recently dropped the price on new stock from $3500 to $2995. He should go lower than $2600. | |
| AR 100.2 or Aragon 8008BB? The AR 100.2 is not a tube amp. It is a solid state amp and has got to be one of the great "sleepers" of all time. I own one and I love it. It is 100 wpc and I have found it to have plenty of power. I have used mine with Thiel 1.5 speakers (86db e... |
