The Hub: Acoustat X: 'stats with tubes!
Nice thread.... But not my experience.I owned the first and probably last new pair of Acoustats in Alaska when they first came out. Shimiks Audio in Ancorage was a great place for audiophiles to meet and listen to the current crop of Hi End. We co... 
New reference 3a decapo i with Beryllium tweeter.
Brucegel:If you ask Rebbi really nice, perhaps he will loan you his Claw-hammer and Hacksaw ;-) 
New to Audiogon. selling my whole system
Ctsooner,If you have the time, check out the new line of Audio Analogue amps... Especially the Maestro series. They have much of what the Ayre delivers in the mid and high end, but a much stronger bass line. I currently use the Maestro Settanta Re...

Grinnell, Tubegroover....Nice to read your words on the DCaps. I have been off line for a while due to medical issues, so tonight I decided to read up on some of the old threads. I actually thought that this was one of them.I changed out my old tw... 
Are there any DACs that can go low?
Dacs are as sensitive to input changes as anything else in the chain. I have went through quite a few high and low end Dacs and feeding them correctly brings out the best rewards. My little Jolida FX Tube Dac is a top notch performer for my uses. ... 
Amp for Sonus Faber Amati Futura
And a couple of more words about amps and speakers.If you can handle not having a trendy name all embossed on your equipment... There are doppelgängers out there. Go borrow a mega-buck Rowland and then drag a cheap B&K Sonata set home. Way mor... 
Amp for Sonus Faber Amati Futura
Amp for Sonus Faber Amati FuturaI would sure like to actually hear those AA Maestro monos. However they are not the rev2 series. I actually believe that I would prefer my Maestro Settanta Rev2 better with my DeCapos given the power curve and the n... 
Anyone here have a memory ?
There are indeed a lot of sick people in this group. Excuse me, I have to go help Porcelain make the bed.btw, RW, just where do you keep that plastic bag now ? I'm also curious as to how many goldfish hit the dumpster for the lack of air. I can se... 
Anyone here have a memory ?
What a memory... MoFi, are you still listening to these things every night ? If I remember, and that is an awful big if, that was out of Nick Danger. Ironically, in Nome, most everyone had Mukluks at that time.Swampy, I was hoping for a positive e... 
Anyone here have a memory ?
I don't believe it.... MoFi, you win the Stuffed Duck !!!Yes, it was the Firesign Theatre... !I can't remember the album that the comment was on... Either " Hand Me The Pliers, Don't crush that Dwarf" or "We are all BoZo's on this Bus".Oh, the bra... 
Amp for Sonus Faber Amati Futura
Bo,Thanks for your input. I was beginning to believe that I was the only one in the world with knowledge of Audio Analogue. The musical presentation coupled with my DeCapo-BE's is intoxicating. I wish that more people knew about or could listen to... 
Amp for Sonus Faber Amati Futura
One of the finest amps for Sonus Fabar is the Audio Analogue Maesrto Setantta rev2. Totallywired.co.nz has a great explanation why.Audio Waves sells them here in the states. It is a gorgeous sounding (and looking) amp with all the grunt and finess... 
Best Integrated, period.
Blah Blah Bleet.Every Jadis that I have ever heard sounded like a worn out ST-70 with new tubes. There... But not there.The high end on a Jadis sounds like an old snake trying to whistle and the low end sounds like an in-estrous baboon bouncing up... 
why no recent Merlin speaker reviews?
Am I repeating myself ? Myself ? 
why no recent Merlin speaker reviews?
Hello,I'm going to through in a name that a lot of us old folks will remember well. It is Audio Analogue. The Puccini Int. Amp. It was a cult piece years ago. A bit more money than the cult Nads and Creeks, but rightfully so. It had the SS grunt b...
