| Phonostage Burn-in to keep unit sharp Lol, Pbb. Nice to see your wit is still with us. | |
| AKG Acoustics K1000 Headphones I use a pair in my office regularly. They are an awesome phone, if you can get past the quirky (bizarre?) looks and ergonomics. They work great with Cary 300 SEI, Cary 2A3i, Audiovalve RKV, and Granite Audio Aspen amps (as well as many others). Ve... | |
| Please recommend components for newbie with $1K NHTs would be a good start if you want monitors. maybe Superones which should leave more $ for integrated. | |
| TUNG-SOL TUBES? the #s are just different manufacturing codes. If the long bottles are in the same position in each amp, they you should be all set. Tung-sol was generally considered to be a good line of tubes. | |
| Speakers for BAT system? Give us a budget and whether you want monitors or floor standers? | |
| Can you recommend a universal player for my system At that price, I would go with the Denon 2900 and then you can have it modified when you have the $$. Excellent speakers, BTW. I really like them with the Hyperion tube mono amps. | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone LOL, Patrick thanks for the smile. As they say in Bahstan; Yaw a real pissah! | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Thanks, Patrick. On the subject of analog rigs, while Doug and Paul's TT/ARm(Tri-planar, not Schroder)/CARt/Step-up are world class, their Pre/phonostage, as you may know, is older and very modest in cost at present and yet the sound was to die fo... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Hi Patrick- Hope you feel better after the steroids and the anti-histamines stop fighting. While I have (thankfully) no personal experience, the steroids and anti-nausea cocktail they give my wife seems to be fighting it out with her anti-cancer d... | |
| Best Used Bang for Buck if I Finally SWITCH ? Can't comment on apple vs PC functionality, but you will pay top dollar for apple hardware | |
| Entry level tube pre with pass thru and remote? At $1-1.5K, a BAT VK3i is way more than entry level, but has the features you want and can hold its own with some pretty high end gear. | |
| Review: Aesthetix Calypso Line Stage Tube preamp It sounds to me like JD is saying that there may have been a room acoustics issue. Can't imagine that with Vandy 5As would need a small room. Just the opposite. I know that the VAndy "sound" is not a detailed in your face hi-fi sound, but this was... | |
| First Sound Presence mk11 vs Audio Research L.S.25 The FS is dead quiet (not a hint of tube rush or hum with gain up to 1:30 using a low output MC cart, step-up and tube phono stage) in my system and remarkably clear, detailed w/o being etched or analytical. I have not heard an LS 25. | |
| What to buy Upgrade from what? Other equipment? | |
| Review: Aesthetix Calypso Line Stage Tube preamp Sorry, J.D., I saw so much, i can't remember the source or amplification. Room was quite large, maybe 30-35 x 40 or 50. |
