| Stand out phono stages I'm putting the finishing touches on a review I am writing about the Liberty B2B-1 phono stage, which I have been home audiotning for the better part of a month now in both solid state and tubes systems, but it should be seriously considered as it... | |
| how do YOU stream? Macbook Pro/Fidelia > USB/Cambridge Audio DAC Magig Plus > RCA/Preamp > Amp > Speakers | |
| Small difference equating to a big difference? Ah, to be at the top of the slippery slope once again, those were the days. | |
| Phono interconnect under $500 used Ah, thank you for pointing that detail out, I should have researched the Mogami model and realized the application. | |
| Phono interconnect under $500 used Pani asked a realtively simple question and perhaps, so far, has gotten more than he originally asked for. Interesting how these threads can sometimes divert from the initial question posed. I sure learned some things here. Going back to recommend... | |
| Vandersteen Amp? I think Richard has simply gone the route/business strategy of appealing to the 1% who can afford it. | |
| krell kct, pass labs xp 10 or 2.5, spectral? Danielk is not speaking from experience. I took my KCT, which I have owned happily for the past ten years, to a friend's and we hooked it up to his Parasond JC-1s and it was magnificent. So absolutely, the KCT IS INDEED something special even with... | |

| Any Alice Cooper fans? This weekend at my local used vinyl shop I found an absolutely mint, and relatively unplayed, original pressing of Killer with poster/calendar still attached. Wow, it's like 1972 all over again. | |
| Help me pick some speakers Totem Mani-2 | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers A couple of weeks ago the Mapleshade unfinished 2 inch boards I ordered arrived and I simply have the Thiel 2.4s placed atop them without any footers through the thin pile carpeting underneath on a suspended floor. WOW, what an improvement in focu... | |
| Could they sell a high-end amp without the fancy My sense is that form, fitness and function need to be balanced in any engineered product. Well made components should be designed to last, and skimping on the chassis or the casing would seem counterproductive to that goal. Perhaps there are some... | |
| Best 5 engineered rock albums? I have avoided this thread for a awhile because of the word "best" in the question (and fellow 'goners know how I feel about that Pandorian word). Without a desire to change the direction of this thread, had I been asked from a "favorites" point o... | |
| The Engineer's Shoes.. Number 6, the equipment used to record, also has multiple variables if expanded, the preamps, the AD/DA converters, the software/tape format, latency if digital, resolution settings, mastering algorithms, the board used to mix, the cables used tho... | |
| Tube Amplifier for Thiel They do benefit from an amp that can swing the current down toward the 2 Ohm load range without a hiccup. My choice for CS6's, which are similar in load characterstics to the 3.6s, is to go with a stout FPB series Krell amp. Manley Neo 500s would ... |
