| Audiogon sellers, please stop and read this thread A legitimate and professional agent (such as for a celebrity) would be the buyer and you would not know there even was a client. This is a scam to be avoided. The proposed transactional basis alone is inconsistent with best business practices. | |
| what is a good tube pre amp out there........... Why not consider upgrading in the CJ line? | |
| Record cleaning fluids I'm a fan of Record Research, now Mobile Fidelity Super Wash. | |
| Need info on amp rec. for these Thiel cs2.4's I have had the 2.4s for two years, purchased new and I expected these to take quite awhile to break in, and in this regard they did not disappoint. Both Thiel and the dealer told me to be patient and simply let them play and do their thing. Frankl... | |
| Cardas vs. Harmonic Technology ..replaced speaker cables for two systems... | |
| Cardas vs. Harmonic Technology I had Harmonic Tech and Tara speaker cables over the years and I have since replaced spakers for two systems with Mapleshade Golden Helix cables. They are far superior sonically. You can audition for 30 days and send back for refund if you don't a... | |
| Jim Marshall passes on. RIP Jim, may you join Leo and the great company of musicians that provided so many reasons to keep spinning those discs and hear those guitars. | |
| conrad johnson mv60 retube Just put in a new set of Genelex Gold Lion 12ax7s from Tube Depot in my CAV50 to replace the NOS Telefunken smooth plates and these made a huge improvement in detail and dynamic range with tighter bass. Very quiet too and the noise floor dropped c... | |
| Thiel CS2.4 and suggestion on preamp How long have you had your 2.4s? It took me a year to break mine in so that the bass response improved greatly and any perception of brightness (I'm not convinved of this) disappeared. You gotta play these speakers; even Jim Thiel admitted this in... | |
| Which LPs are on your permanent rotation? The Classic reissues of the Zep catalog are never far from the TT. | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green They don't even sound alike.So, they're both best, so there! | |
| Thin Walled Speakers -Tonian, Musical Affairs, etc I watched that video. The argument that controlling the wood with bracing to achieve resonance properties similar to that of a violin or a guitar doesn't make sense. Those instruments, by design, are intended to make music over a limited frequency... | |
| How much can be measured -- and how much cannot? Emotions and logic are two different contexts. Perhaps both are needed to fully evaluate and appreciate equipment and systems. For music, the final evaluation is how much is emotionally moving to the listener. One can ask, "do I hear detail, stagi... | |
| Thiel 2.4 or 3.6, which to get? I predict that the 3.6s will be more extended in the bass if you are used to the 3.5s, compared to the 2.4s. This also depends on your amplification which I assume is suffucuent if you have been driving the 3.5s satisfactorily. I have the 2.4s and... | |
| Cartridge for Rega 25 TT with RB600 tone arm I too had a P25 for a couple of years with a Glider; great set up. Since them I have moved on to VPI and Lyra. I'll bet a Delos would make your P25 sing nicely. |
