| Happy Birthday Lee Morgan First heard Sidewinder on my brother's 4-track when I was in high school. Right then Lee Morgan became my favorite trumpet player. I also had the great fortune of seeing/hearing him live - in what was one of his last performances - at the L.A. Shr... | |
| Monitors that compete with quality floorstanders?? +1 for Fritz Rev7's. | |
| Have you found reliable online used vinyl vendors? I've had pretty good experience with Amazon. Also, to echo Zd545's comment, Amazon takes a lot of risk out the transaction. For consistency, Acoustic Sounds has been very good as well. They have good used vinyl which tends to be on the pricey side... | |
| What was your first 'hi-end' system? @Dpatterson, in the 70's I had almost the same system ... except TT (don't remember cart). That was some great sound! | |

| Review: Cullen Cable 10 awg red copper Power cord Regarding Mr. Johnson's response ... IMHO his sarcasm and downright cheekiness was uncalled for. Some of the world's brightest minds belong to people whose native language is not English. I suspect that may be the case here. No need for the underh... | |

IMHO Nuforce was the best and slightly better than Channel Island, but cost twice ... | |
| Please Help Me Understand Thanks Lowrider57 and Elizabeth for your helpful explanations. I'll look into the AH TP8 "cartridge loading" idea. | |
| Best cheap speaker cables............again I started out with Goertz Alpha, then switched to Signal cable ... which I kept for about two years or so. Then auditioned Morrow, Speltz, Audio Art, and Straley Reality cables around the same period. The Straley's are still in service and I have ... | |
| tube buffers OK, initially I wanted to stay out of this discussion; but I see that on 12/28 the OP asked specifically about the Audio Horizons tube buffer. I own the TB 5.0, with upgrades. Designer Joseph Chow customized it into a combination tube buffer and T... | |
| Best tube preamp with remote under $2000 used Schubert, that speaks volumes then ... especially if it was a real apples-to-apples comparison. That is, if you had the same unit that Springbok just got (SB10 correct me if I'm wrong) which is the upgraded Jolida. According to Wally over at Under... | |
| Best tube preamp with remote under $2000 used Springbok, I too would like to hear what you think of the Fusion with MK2 upgrade; please share your impressions.Schubert, do you have direct listening experience with both preamps? If so, please share that. Thanks. | |
| Tube Dealer Recommendation +1 for Upscale Audio ... sent him a message this morning and got a same day reply with solid information. Just explain your situation and your budget. Not the lowest cost, but worth the piece of mind. | |
| Reverse Phase Preamp with HT Bypass Sounds like most are confirming mfg comments regarding phase. He basically stated that reversing phase on speakers is necessary to make sure everything works properly with the preamp - in terms of SQ. Then he said don't worry about passive signal ... |
