| TT Recommendation- Rega 2, Pro-ject Xpression3 or? I'd go for one of the Rega tables. They are great-sounding, reliable and trouble-free. IMHO, the Pro-ject (and closely related Music Hall) tables are junk. | |
| Strange Room Setup a Rubik's Cube? Your room does not have to be difficult to setup. You should try setting up the speakers in a asymmetric relation to the sidewalls, but keep your listing potition equidistant from the speakers. Start with the speakers relatively close to the back ... | |
| When did Sylvania stop making tubes? In the early eighties when Sylvania merged with GTE. The Sylvania name was then sold to Philips to market electronics and Osram to market light bulbs. By about '83 or '84 there were no US or Western European tube manufacturers of significance. | |
| Resetting ARC Ref3 Tube Hours Anybody remember where the button is? I'm having trouble locating my manual. | |
| AR Ref 7, 8 reviewed in Stereophile or A.S.? I used to have an ARC Reference CD7. It was a very nice player, and as I recall, it received a good review in Stereopile. However, it was no match for the Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista SACD that it replaced, or the Esoteric XO-1 Limited that replaced... | |
| ARC Ref 3 Display I can't tell any difference either. | |

| Rega's older CDP/transport parts availability? I understand that rega is very good about keeping repair parts for their units. | |
| any retipping advise on a linn troika? Contact www.thecartridgeman.com. Excellent! | |
| Dali versus Legacy? A really unusual choice, but I always preferred a Hudson over a Kaiser. | |
| RUSH Snakes and Arrows DVD Live I have not seen the video, although I have enjoyed Rush many times in concert. Unfortunately, I think that the music/lyric quality on Snakes and Arrows is abysmal, the worst Rush album ever! | |
| best interconnects and power cables for Ayre Cable selection is a a very subjective issue. Ayre does use Cardas cables to voice their electronics. I have found that there may be significant differencs in cable performance, even within the same manufacturer's range. All Ayre components are of... | |
| Zune Player I don't know of any docking stations for the Zune that can pull a dgital output from the player. One could use one of the various minijack to RCA adapters, but sound quality would probably not be the best. You might be able to get a digital signal... | |
| 6922 Recommendation for my BAT VK-3iX Preamp Another thought. You might consider using 7DJ8 tubes, basically a 7 volt rated 6922/6DJ8. Some circuits may not be compatible, but I've never encountered a problem with the substitution. The construction of the two tube types is supposed to be ide... | |
| USB drive vs NAS for storage/streaming/back-up Joc,I am am also using a Cullen modified Sonos ZP-80. I use a Buffalo Teraserver NAS drive, attached to my half wired/half wireless network. Like Stevenstone said, your PC does not have to remain on with an NAS device, only the hub or switch needs... |
