| speaker that project mids farther out into room Newbee's on it. I still miss my old JBL L200's on old long hair rock.Listen to horns. Klispch probably makes something you are looking for.Have Fun | |
| Conrad-Johnson Premier 11a-a good used amp? I bought one in the nineties used and love it. It didn't quite have the grunt to power my ML ReQuests full range, but it is simply great on the panels now that I have the Hafler to tame the woofers. Absolutely trouble free and real nice with Ei KT... | |
| Two excellent sampler CD's from Putumayo Sd you always make great recommendations.I really like both the music and recording that Laura Love (out of seattle) put out on the Putumayo label. Great music and well recorded.Lucky enough to have KNBA radio here in Alaska that is all over the m... | |
| SACD VS Vinyl for Jazz and Classical Buy both. You will enjoy the contrast and comparison. You can remain judicious in selecting your choices. At current SACD and vinyl reissue prices I sure do.As for sound I am betting you will become a believer in the merits of vinyl. I have SACD t... | |

| Dahlquist DQ-20 Fan club Rant uhhhh, did you happen to listen to any Maggies, Soundlab, Innersound, Logans or old infinitys with emim/emits or the new gallos?Just curious. Me, I still piss and moan over selling my Marantz 4400 and 4 JBL L200's. God, I miss those big old loud m... | |
| I need help selecting speaker cables I think SD's recommendation of the Goertz is top notch (can't comment reference the Kimber).I was a "no difference" hard sell on pricey cables as I am by heart a cheapskate. I had old fairly pricey Monster that I used for years. Goertz made me a b... | |
| Cartridge attributes, recommendations w/Thorens? I second Loontoon. I owned a Thorens 126 and X5. Great bargain setup. You can't beat the Ortofon at a 125 bucks. Hell, I think I paid more for an X5 in 81-82. | |
| Fidelity Research FR-1 MK3F Great cartridge. I loved mine so much that I had it redone by Mr. Van Den Hul who works through Stanalog to rebuild cartridges. Go to www.stanalog.com and they can keep that FR singing.Regards, Steelhead | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Still have my Hafler DH 500's. Bought em brand new. Want Mr. Van Alstine to tune them up. Wonderful solid state.Still have my CJ premier 11a and still love it. Would like to get 12's or 8's at some point for more power. | |
| Infinity QB info? http://oellerer.net/infinity_classics/http://www.bobbyshred.com/infinity.htmlAre good sources to check. They are both active sites. I would think there is some sort of market for Quantam series. I know my old reference standards generated interest... | |
| Are you delighted at your present system? Dave hit it for me. I love to listen to almost anything, but I really enjoyed going from horns, to ribbons, to stats, and solid state to tubes. Been a real fun ride and I totally enjoy my system. I sometimes "miss" my old stuff even though it wasn... | |
| What's on your reading list? AVguygeorge, May I recommend "I'm OK, Your OK", I would recommend more but I gotta go and see if I finally got that FR headshell on ebay |
