| Is McIntosh still a good choice? Definitely check out the new MacIntosh tube gear!! | |
| Innersound ESLs Amplifier Listen to tubes if you have a chance. You should definitely try to audition some tube amps before you buy. I used a Hafler DH500 to power my requests and although I had power and bass control to spare when I put in the CJ premier 11a I got MUSIC!!... | |
| Songs & Artists NEVER HEARD on the RADIO? The alternative music never heard on the radio is great!!Some examples are, The Tragically Hip, Dan Bern, Loundon Wainwright III's new album, Greg Brown, Willie Porter's, Falling Forward which is a great album. Call up www.knba.org "live stream" w... | |
| Suggestions of Excellent Hawaiian music? Go to www.knba.org and get the live stream of one of the best radio stations in business. They play all kinds of music and I love the alternative stuff, acoustic cafe, and david dye's world cafe. In your case, listen to the broadcast a while as th... | |
| New SACD Players Announced I am saving my nickels for an "old" 777. Looking forward to it. Heard it in my system and it flat destroyed my trusty old Nak CD player. | |

| Old Timers Advice Required Chris, The gear you mentioned was highly regarded. I have owned a Thorens 125 with the Black Widow arm and an Ortofon cartridge. It was a great table and I still own and use a Thorens TD 126. I bought a Apt/Holman preamp brand new in like 1980 som... | |
| Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts This post brings back lots of memories. Hard to put in a "order" I guess Allman Brothers Band in 90 New London, CT was 5. Took my daughter as she prompted and cajoled me into seeing them. Thinking to myself, yeah right, They will probably have to ... | |
| Most reliable equipment manufacturers For tube equipment. I own and love Conrad Johnson and they have been a great company for support on the premier 11a that I bought used a few years ago. The PV 11 preamp is close to ten years old and other than a tube swap, works Great!!! | |
| Class "A" solid state vs. Tube amp.? Owned both solid state and tubes. To me, it is easy. TUBES! | |
| Revox B77 I have a Revox A77 that I bought brand new in 1973. I had the heads replaced in 1983 and at that time I believe it cost me about $400. I know ReVox has a repair center here in the US and you could call them. I have contacted them about "upgrading"... | |
| SACD - Another year and ... I am hedging my bets. I plan to scoop up a Sony 777 on the used market next year. I have not heard SACD (nor DVD-A, for that matter) but I am definitely interested in the format. Hoping they get some classic rock stuff on SACD before I dive in. | |
| Tube Pre-amp beneficial? Wsmatau, I would highly recommend a switch to tubes if you can spend the coin. I have Martin Logan ReQuests and was driving them with Hafler power amps and an Apt/Holman preamp. (High quality early 80's solid state). I bought a Conrad Johnson PV11... | |
| tube amp help CJ,VAC, or VTL Listen for yourself and decide. In my estimation you will not get better "sound" and build quality for the money than Conrad Johnson can provide. I adore my Premier 11a in all aspects. I upgraded from a Hafler 500 and feel that it was a "big" impr... |
