best preamp ever - cost is no object
Huh? I don't understand this. 
best preamp ever - cost is no object
Mrtennis, I would say also that your carrying on about this subject makes no sense and proves nothing. I see no reason also to continue. 
best preamp ever - cost is no object
Mrtennis, if you are accusing me of hyping, go to hell. You heard a very aged unit and claim to have heard a very transistor sound. I heard a unit of the same age but heard nothing like this. What would you conclude? As I will say for the last tim... 
best preamp ever - cost is no object
Mrtennis, all that I wish to convey to you and others is that they should go to listen to this unit which greatly impresses me and which I believe is unrivaled by anything I have ever heard. I doubt if you could be convinced by anything I say nor ... 
Dedicated circuits? Bldng a new house. Help.
Dedicated lines and their guage, conditioners plugged into them, and the quality of the ground all make a difference. All of this can get pretty expensive so you will have to decide how far to go. I would get dedicated lines put in with quality an... 
The Quietest LP Cleaning Machines
I have a PRC 3 Loricraft and have had it since 2001. I heard it while stuck in London after 911. It is much less noisy than other record cleaners I have owned including the Keith Monks that I owned nearly 30 years ago. But the PRC 6 and the PRC 4 ... 
best preamp ever - cost is no object
Mrtennis and Oxia, of course I agree that no one can really say anything is the best. I must say, Oxia, that I don't regard what limited aspects we can measure as a superior method for evaluation. This is the old objectivist position.Given the man... 
best preamp ever - cost is no object
Last Tuesday I got an H-Cat P-12R line stage. I very much doubt if any line stage or preamp can be its equal.I estimate that I have owned 45 preamps during my long sojourn in audio. I recently got the six and hopefully final version of the H-Cat P... 
Walker Audio Prelude LP Cleaning Solution
Maclogan, what is this "demagnetizing" your records? Do you mean removing the static electricity? If so, certainly you don't mean what you say. 
Audio Shows - CES and what else?
Jh2os, I think you are talking about the Home Entertainment Show not The Home Entertainment show. I think THE Show is never in LA or NYC. It is sometimes in Denver and Indianapolis I know. 
Audio Shows - CES and what else?
I attended two of the VSAC in Washington and loved their seminars and shootout among vacuum tubes, but it dried up. The Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in Denver replaced it. In someways it is superior to the VSAC, such as having more demonstrators incl... 
Vibraplane vs. Minus k for Turntables
I considered the Minus K unit as well as the Halcyonics. The Minus K is basically a well designed spring system. At it root the Vibraplane is also a spring system, in this case a bladder with a resonant frequency like any spring support. The Halcy... 
Record Cleaners / RCMs
I long ago owned the Keith Monks record cleaner but sold it when I moved into a smaller house. I then tried the first VPI then the Nitty Gritty. I then went back to a series of VPIs. Then I heard the benefits of the Loricraft. I bought one and did... 
What's under your Neuance platform
I was told that the Neuance shelves were designed to be on spikes in the four corners. My Mana stands, of course, provide exactly that. I did try various materials under the special Neuance I had for my Loricraft/Garrard 501 table and kept coming ... 
CES 07 Show Report
Mrtennis, there is no excuse?? Pulling together all that goes into a speaker or component is not an easy process. Most small manufacturers lack the resources to allow new items to reach full maturity before demonstrating them and selling them.I do...
