| Tube amp with SS like bass My first question to others is... how can we know what will work without knowing his speakers and room size? My speakers can put out truly wall-shaking bass with 25-30 watts. There are plenty of amps at $2k which can do that.OTOH... if Gooddomino ... | |
| Analog experiment Arthur, kudos to you for going through the process, and even more kudos for being diligent in recording your results and sharing them with all of us. | |
| What happened to Linear Tracking Turntables There is another thread started in the last few days over on the Vinyl Asylum and the variety of linear tracking TTs in use over there is pretty astounding... As I write this, I am listening to a Yamaha PX-1, which sounds great to my relatively un... | |
| Need help generating a short list While I am not an expert (and on the High Efficiency Asylum over at AA, there are lots of horn experts), there is obviously a difference in the way sound propagates out from a front-loaded (horn) driver speaker when compared with a plain point sou... | |
| What is your most beautiful component? My Jadis Eurythmie speakers. While they don't have the finish of the Sonus Faber Homage series cabinets, they have a look which makes them special enough. They sound pretty good too... :^) | |
| Best affordable phono preamp? I can second the ZYX Artisan. Neutral as neutral can be, and very low noisefloor. I don't have long experience with it, and haven't listened to more than a few rivals but I am very happy with it. | |
| I could not believe it Artemus, I agree that VA recently gets bogged down sometimes in debates about $200 carts and Technics 1200 TTs, and whether they are just before, just at, or just beyond the cruxpoint of diminishing returns; However, the archives hold a great deal... | |
| I could not believe it I joined the club a month ago and am quite happy. I am rapidly come to the realization that any decent vinyl rig has 5 parts: TT, arm, cart, phono stage, and RCM. Don't skip the last one. Check out the Vinyl Asylum over on AudioAsylum.com for more... | |
| Phono preamp evolution I'll bite. When I was 10 or 12, my parents got for my sister and me a set of bookshelf speakers (think they were KEFs) and an all-in-one set-up (you know, receiver with turntable embedded in the top), can't remember who is was made by but the phon... | |
| Which artists' music do you buy without audition Among current artists... Radiohead, The Bad Plus, Madeleine Peyroux, Peter Gabriel, Elvis Costello, Arvo Part, anything played by Peter Wispelwey, and anything played or written by Edgar Meyer. Among non-current artists, am finding I do this with ... | |
| Micro seiki SX-8000 operating manual I had followed the development of your system and was interested in your opinion of the SX-8000 almost a year on. Did you ever put in a vibraplane? If so, do you notice a difference?BTW... If you have found a manual or literature on the SX-8000, I... | |
| What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000 Lots of great speakers mentioned already and there are several other world class speakers up to that price point on the used market. Given my listening preferences, I'd probably go for the Avantgarde Duos (maybe with some Edgarhorn Seismic Subs on... | |
| Best object in your listening room. A bamboo basket by Iizuka Rokansai. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Paul Chambers' Bass on Top and Sonny Clark's Struttin'. | |
| Review: Yamaha PX-3 Turntable I got the PX-1 set up - my first foray back into vinyl since I was in college. I'm into my third LP now (third one this afternoon) and this is putting stupid grins on my face. A picture will be up shortly. |
