| Marantz 8260 vs benchmark DAC1 I can't speak to your specific inquiry as to the Benchmark, but I currently own the 8260 and Perpetual Tech. setup with Modwright Sig. mods. While the 8260 gives a warm and muscial presentation, it is not close to the transparency, detail, etc. of... | |
| mse Gen ll VS VH pulsar IC I currently own both of these interconnects, listening to both over many hours I have come to prefer the MSE's over the pulsar's in my system (tubed pre and amps). In my system the mse's are slightly more transparent and tonally balanced. However,... | |
| which power tube sounds better: EL34 or 6550 I would agree with Rcprince's observations. I have Cary slm 100's which can use el-34, 6550 or kt88. Harmonic richness is the el-34 strong suit, especially running triode, a little tubby on bass but the midrange and highs make up for it. I only us... | |
| Happiness is A Warm Set of EL34's I have Cary SLM 100's. I had Svetlanas, switched to the SED's, a bit warmer and harmonically richer. Cary also did a circuit modification to my 100's that decreased the amount of negative feedback, increased warmth, may be able to do same for you. | |
| I need to replace my E34 tube on my Audio Aero Amp Infinitebaffle is correct. I had been using the 'new' Svetlana's, recently switched to the SED's, harmonically richer, more transparent. SED's are the way to go. | |

| Badfinger Try out Magic Christian Music. Carry On Till Tomorrow, Walk Out In the Rain, Angelique, Knocking Down Our Home, Dear Angie, etc, etc,.... just about every song is awesome. I first heard this album as a soundtrack to the film, The Magic Christian, ... | |
| Music everywhere, too much? I often find the incessant music soundtracks in film to be really irratating. Where's the silence? Silence can be as emotive or even more emotive than many of these lame soundtracks. | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. From Won't Get Fooled Again, The Who. | |
| What was your first music that you paid for? Growing up in Ann Arbor, Michigan in the 60's, we listened to a station out of Windsor, Ontario, CKLW AM. It was either garage rock or soul for us. Bubble Puppy-Hot Smoke and Sasafras, Blues Magoos-Pipe Dream, There's a Chance We Can Make It, then... | |
| Ann Arbor Hi Greg, I would still be interested in a new club. Your home appears to be a good place for a first meeting. I also have some equipment I could bring along. I have 2 systems, one is SET and some may like to hear this setup or parts of it. Thanks,... | |
| Best red book/SACD player under 1K stock or mod ? Marantz sa8260, very musical, might find one used for around $800 | |
| Hours sitting around just listening to music? I try to spend at least one evening each weekend listening to music in the sweet spot in my dedicated listening room. My listening sessions generally go from 8 or 9pm until 3 to 5 am. Even with that I never have the time to play all the music I ha... | |
| Ann Arbor I'm in Whitmore Lake and would be interested in an audio club although I'm not sure I could help in setting it up due to time constraints. | |
| vocal distortion on Jayhawk's Rainy Day Music The distortion is on just about every song. The reason for distrusting American Recordings also goes to a previous release by the Red Devils, it was a live recording (I don't recall the title) it was also distorted in the vocals and I returned tha... |
