| tube pre suggestion The Modwright has a great rep (never heard). Other good options in that price range would include First Sound, ARC, Joule-Electra & VAC. I've never heard them with the Nuforce. Others will chime in on how they mate with the analog switching te... | |
| Stolen SoundLabs - just in case... Sometimes good things happen to good people. All of your intellectual generosity over the years being repaid. Congrats. | |
| Bigger amps in an enclosed cabinet? Is your Plinius integrated Class A? If not, you will be amazed at the heat generated by a large Class A amp like the Pass or the big Plinius'. | |
| re: phono preamps; is vintage ss any good? Vintage any good? You mean like JOhn Curl Vendetta????? | |
| Aaaargh. Please help Viridian select a new TV. If new gen LCD response times are better, then that's great and at that screen size, pixel size may be an issue so that helps the LCD argument. Best to try before you buy, but try to find a place that will let you adjust the PQ, and where you can ... | |
| Aaaargh. Please help Viridian select a new TV. Markphd gives good advice. I will provide a slightly different perspective in 2 areas-Technology- If you watch sports much (you mentioned movies but did not say if you watch TV also) then the faster response time of the plasma makes a big differen... | |
| New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option Well, John- who would have thought that that humility would be your most endearing character trait? ;~) I'm not a mechanical engineer or a physicist, but wouldn't torque mostly be an issue in terms of coming to speed from a stop? Once turning at r... | |
| Looking for compilation suggestions KMMT From the Mountain series is pretty darn good, too. | |
| Artists 'SELLING OUT' - can we discuss? Kubla- I agree with you. Selling, is not the same as selling out. If Neil Young sells the rights to use "The damage done" in an anti-heroin commercial, more power to him; if he sells the rights to "Bluebird" to a company that had named its latest ... | |
| Looking for compilation suggestions 49th Parallel is a good one, for sure. Perhaps try Nanci Giffith's "compilation" of covers and some duets "Other Voices Other Rooms" or the Chieftan's "Tears of Stone" which is a "compilation" of the Chieftan's backing a diverse group of female vo... | |
| What can I drive w/ the 8wpc Air Tight 300B amp? Depends on the type of music. Lately I have been experimenting with a WAVAC 300b amp in my 14 x 23 room and for everything but hard rock and symphonic, it sounds pretty darn good driving my Merlin VSMs at moderate volumes. Its not perfect, but in ... | |
| New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option Pauly- I would strongly recommend jumping on the next used/demo Teres that shows up here. It does happen from time to time. At a discounted price, there is virtually no risk. Also, I guess one way to look at the "investment" end of it that you tal... | |
| Drop in replacement for Rega RB300? The Schroder M2 works with the mounting hole and geometery, but would require you to drill 3 mounting holes and either tap them, or use appropriate screws depending on which arm board you have. I know, I just swapped out an OL Silver [available BT... | |
| Headroom Max $3000 headphone amp. Opinions anyone? What cans??? | |
| New Teres Direct Drive Motor Available as Option Thom has hit this one right on the money. Its so easy to attribute the success or failure of a component to a specific element of the design or architecture when it is the series of design decisions and the implementation of the design that makes ... |
