| Finally Defined My Requirements. Recommendations? I'm not able to quote the model numbers for both Joule and VAC pre-amps but I've heard samples of both aboout 2-4 yrs ago. very nice and musical sounding. The Joule was the better looking of the two, can't say I enjoyed either more than the other.... | |
| Finally Defined My Requirements. Recommendations? Good luck getting a response from Supratek. I've e-mailed three times over a two month period - no response. Not a good sign or maybe he's just too busy now to take on any new orders.Also, according to a recent buyer I just spoke w/ (through e-mai... | |
| Anyone had experince with J J Electronics? The J J Electronics company I'm talking about is the Slovakian tube amp and pre-amp manufacturer, not the superstore by same name in, I think, New York. Check out the ad in Tube Pre-amps. Beautiful stuff but I know nothing about the unit. | |
| Looking to upgrade from receiver Don't forget Musical Fidelity, Creek, Arcam who all make good integrateds. If you are willing to try tubes (and what a wonderful adventure you could embark upon!) the ARC is a good idea along with Mesa Engineering Trigris(sp?). Good luck and let u... | |

| First 2a3 system I second the Wright Sound advice. And also check out Omega speakers - quite efficient with a very easy impedance curve. | |
| Hendrix blues In 1971 I bought an import LP entiled "Hendrix in the West". It was a live album and had a 15 minute version of Red House Blues that was some of the best Hendrix imaginable. As I remember the sound quality was quite good, too. I've checked Amazon,... | |
| Very tube-friendly monitor speakers? The size of your room really matters here. I have an 8 wt 300B Air Tight amp and a 11 x 13.5 room. Use 86db efficient ProAc 2.5s. Works quite well but I would like to find something at 90db which would effectively double the output of my amp. Agai... | |
| Looking to make a change, need advice Why change what works? Why try to fix something that isn't broken? Etc. I would (if happy with my system) spend the money on new music software. There are so many fine remasterings of great performances (jazz, classical, rock, etc.) available toda... | |
| Jethro Tull recent Remasters vs Mobile Fidelity? The Tull remasters are in any good record store which most likely includes Borders & Barnes and Noble. | |
| Words from the Wise -Part 2 Be careful of that foot tapping thing. This sometimes is caused by strange frequency and dynamics anomalies which lend a sort of rythmic monotony to the music. I think some Linn equipment has this designed in. Anyway, I use one major criterium for... | |
| I close my eyes It's called sense isolation. The fewer inputs to four of your senses, the greater the efficiency and power of your remaining sense. I think most "audiophiles" have been listening like this since the beginning. Thirty plus years ago my friends and ... | |
| Which is a reliable CD changer? I've had a Marantz 4000OSE for just over two years (used with Perp Tech P-1A and P-3A) and it has worked flawlessly. I tried three other multi-disc players (Sony ES, Onkyo, and Parasound) and the Marantz sounded best by itself and is the most ergo... | |
| HELP: Subwoofer for music REL, REL, REL!!! Get one intended for music, at least the Strata. It's the easiest sub to set up and ends up simply sounding like an extension of your speakers. Much easier to set up than the Vandersteen which attempts to do the same thing but, si... | |
| What is the best speaker for a small room 10X11 Try one of the stand mounted Sonus Farbers. They are front ported so can, of course, be placed closer to the wall behind them than rear ported designs. Also, the Spica TC60 may be a good choice. |
