| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? Congrats Tom! | |
| Joule Preamp users and other pairing with Joules power amp. Congrats on the amp. I was a long time Joule/Merlin owner. Loved the sound and occasionally find myself daydreaming about buying another Joule amp to rotate into my system. I used four different preamps with my Joule amp over the years. First was ... | |
| What is the most dramatic way of increasing a speaker's Bass and Low mid? As for cables with Merlins, I found they only made a subtle difference, if at all. I tried many expensive ones - Cardas, JPS, Virtual Dynamics, Coincident, just to name a few. I ended up using el-cheapo Anti-Cables and putting my money elsewhere i... | |
| What is the most dramatic way of increasing a speaker's Bass and Low mid? I owned Merlins for several years. Bobby recommended setting the speakers 6 feet apart and then listen and widen them if needed. I ended up at 6.5 feet wide. I sat 7 feet, 3 inches from the tweeters. The speakers were 3.5 feet from the wall behind... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? The Record Company at the House of Blues in San Diego. Great show from an up and coming band. The crowd was really into it. | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? Thanks Charles for the compliment! I was very pleased with the Coincident Line Stage. I sold it not because of any displeasure with its sound, which was suberb. I wanted a one box preamp so that I could put everything in my rack, and I also wanted... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? I bought the T-3 version 3 months ago. It sounded great right off the bat. It just sounds very natural to me. Music seems to have the proper weight and balance. In addition, with The Truth in my system, music is more like being there at the perfor... | |
| What albums, in your opinion, sound unquestionably better on Vinyl rather than Digital? Black Keys - El Caminohttp://dr.loudness-war.info/album/list?artist=black+keys&album=el+camino | |
| Sweetvinyl Sugarcube - SC1 and SC2 I have an SC-2. I am impressed with the real time click and pop removal function. It is hard to tell the difference so I I leave it on for all my listening now, at a 2 or 3 setting. Still waiting for SugarCube to introduce the automatic track spli... | |
| Preamp Input for Coincident system - Don Sachs, deHavilland, LTA, Joule Electra? I also own Frankensteins, along with the 101D preamp that you mentioned, the Coincident Statement Line Stage. I used to own the Joule Electra LA-150MKII. The Joule is a nice preamp and it might be a match with your listening preferences, given wha... | |
| What were your humble beginnings on the path to high end audio? When my father was in the Navy, someone from his squadron left behind his copy of Magical Mystery Tour after a party at our house. He was killed in action a few days later. He and 30 other men on a reconnaissance mission were shot down by a North ... | |
| if I buy an ultrasonic cleaner for my records will I be able to hear the difference? I have a V-8. I'm not sure I heard a difference at first between that and my VPI 16.5. I was just using distilled water, photoflo, and isopropyl alcohol, as suggested by the seller of the V-8. Then I tried the "suggested chemicals" that is in Rush... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Hi boxer12 - I really liked Mayer’s guitar playing and singing. My friend who is a longtime Deadhead said Mayer plays "faster" than Jerry, like he is fitting in more notes. I’m more of a novice Dead fan than you or my friend, but in my opinion Joh... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? +1 on moe. I saw them a couple of weeks ago, what a great live band! I learned later that the bass player recently had cancer treatment, which makes the 3.5 hour show that they played even more impressive. I went to Dead and Company the next day. ... | |
| New Look for Audiogon hard to work with In its current state, the update is terrible. Other sites like Amazon and Craigslist also display items in an “image view” format, but they also let the user switch to a “list view” if they want. I wish we could have a similar option. I always u... |
