| Traveler Vs TT15s1 vs? Traveler on the way to "upgrade" my Music Hall, stay tuned...Disclaimer: I'm a VPI fan. | |
| Mapleshade Golden Helix Vs Double Helix I too have both types for both systems (one tubed (Golden), the other solid state (Double Helix)), and after owning several different "high end" brands, I am very happy with these cables. They have a coherence factor that is uncanny and, relative ... | |
| What do you think of the new "Simply Vinyl" albums I don't know, my Toys In The Attic on Simply Vinyl simply sucks, too fast and the sound is muddy/confused. Leaves me wanting my original, first pressing on Columbia, which got away years ago, of course.Classic are generally good, as are Sundazed a... | |
| Mapleshade Speaker Cables Hmm, muted is not the sound I hear with either the songle or double helix versions of these cables. In my systems (both solid state and tube), these cables "lifted a veil" I perceived from listening with other brands and those I had been using. | |
| Tube Pre/Monoblock Recommendation Recently traded up my tube system to an all Manley set up: Chinook, Jumbo Shrimp and Snappers. Clearly there is synergy among these components; they are well matched and, once warmed up, provide a very warm and detailed three dimensional sonic vie... | |
| Need at least 900wpc in 4ohm Sorry about the misinformation on the JC1s, they do perform indeed! Plus, they sound great. | |

| Why don't you like Mageplanar speakers? Lack of dynamic range, too much surface area. | |
| Preamps waste of money? I too like preamps and find that they can provide an optimal source impedance and gain stage that enhances the sonic performance. Passive is not always "better." | |
| Need at least 900wpc in 4ohm Krell 700cx; 1400 Wpc into 4 Ohms.By the the JC1 won't do that, 800 Wpc perhaps. | |
| Original prices for LP albums Around 1969 to 1970 era Boston shopping for records at either the Children's Inn or Harvard Square COOP, prices were generally $3.99 for first pressing standard issue, single vinyl, no gatefold, such as Disraeli Gears, Are You Experienced, Led Zep... | |
| Manley or Rogue? Not necessarily, my comment is mostly because I upgraded from a CAV50 to Snappers for power to my Thiel 2.4s and the result has been a very positive game changer. If I could afford CJ's top of the line monoblocks, I am sure that would be an upgrad... | |
| Manley or Rogue? Changing my tune to Manley | |
| Phono Preamp Recommendations Amen Wolf! | |
| Thiel CS6 When you get the spikes on, be sure to level them carefully so as to ensure that the sides are parallel to one another and that they don't rock in any dimension. Obvious perhaps but you will find that mm adjustments matter with these babies. When ... |
