| Pre with phono and headphone 1000 used? Audiolab 8000C ($1,100. MSPR new). Used?? This is also solid state. For tube some of the Sonic Frontiers preamps have headphone amps, but I don't think the ones with phono. Such as the SF Anthem Pre-1L and Pre-2L linestage models have very nice he... | |
| Best "Used" Audiophile speakers for 1000-1500 Occassionally $1500, but usually a little more is a pair of B&W Matrix 802-S3. The Matrix 803-S2 are very nice also. | |
| Optimum seats for a concert? Abstract7: Some muscians I know tend to prefer the Terrace D on the left. This is the piano side (you said stage right above), but it is considered the left side of the hall for ticket purposes. Start there. What night/series do you usually go?The... | |
| Budget CD / DVD or D/A solution The Pioneer DV343 has the Burr Brown DAC chip, which means Stan Warren or Dan Wright can modify it for about $250 into a killer CD player. They are both well regarded, but Stan would be my choice. Search other theads for information. Dan Wright is... | |
| Optimum seats for a concert? Abstract7: For sound as the only consideration in the Meyerhoff in Baltimore, the best seats are high in the back (Terrace D and Center). These are also the cheapest seats. The sound is balanced with a wide sound stage field. Terrace C is good too... | |
| Classical Nirvana for 10-15K I am not very familiar with the current crop of high end B&W subs. However the ASW-800 (the Matrix sub) was very very good, and was a great match for the Matrix 800 series. No reason to think the new ones would be any less. The REL's are usual... | |
| Classical Nirvana for 10-15K I won't recommend a whole system. What I found the hardest to reproduce for great classical is the low bass detail to bring out the cello and string bass. Add a REL sub, which are real musical audiophile subs (not boom boom boxes). Get at least th... | |

| Dedicated outlets vs Power Conditioner Nope, garage door thing on circuit with laundry room next to garage. | |
| Dedicated outlets vs Power Conditioner I agree the answer is a combination of everything. This includes using parallel filters like those made by Audio Prism, Richard Gray and Blue Circle. You need to figure out for yourself using your own ears what that combination is. I don't have a ... | |
| Looking for a tube preamp that is 1700 or less. Used Blue Circle BC3 Despina. | |
| What can you do about a nonselling seller? Unfortunitely it goes both ways. Many times when I sell things I get email from persons who say they want to buy it. I follow up with my address and never hear from them again.So until "the check in the mail" it is still for sale. | |
| personal experiences with quaility preamps... The Blue Circle BC21 tube pre, BC22 solid state amp is a great matching combination. List is $3650 ($1500/$2150) but used mint/demo is about $2200 ($950/$1250). | |
| Best web site for shopping used classical Lps? Biggest selection with a constant changing list is probably eBay.With eBay will want to question condition with the seller if they don't list it. Invest in a LP cleaning machine also. As of my post here there are 133892 LP (3669 classical) listing... |
