| Trouble in Fleetwood Mac....... Chayro, Bob Welch and Danny Kirwan maybe? Can any fan forget the memorable music from the early 70’s albums. Maybe not in the realm of the classic mid 70’s era with LB and SN. I still listen to "Future Games" and love it. Different eras and one of... | |
| Trouble in Fleetwood Mac....... Too bad you missed the "Rumours" tour, not so disappointing. | |
| Tube Preamps..... I haven’t heard the Don Sachs but it looks nice plus he’ll work with you on upgrades to my understanding, a big plus. I have lived with a 6SN7 based output tube preamp up to a few years ago, still have it but it doesn’t hold a candle to my Bill Th... | |
| Are there any Delphi Oracle Users Who Can Comment I certainly don't have the expertise of Mofi but I have owned a few tables. No the bass is not as impactful as other tables I've owned, the SOTA Sapphire for example. The midrange and high frequency performance is beyond what I would see as smoot... | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps Leonard, no one is trying to sell anyone anything. Just offering sound advice and other options to a tube rookie on a limited budget. The only reason i am posting this is because of your attack on one of the people that wanted to help. A little mo... | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps Oh well, just trying to offer an experienced and hopefully helpful viewpoint but your cute response makes me second guess. I know very well how the free market works as well Will. Again, good luck, it seems your query was looking for affirmation o... | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps Will i too sense your frustration as Roxy54 described. Things do have a tendency to go off the rails a bit when inquiring on a budget Chinese product at such a reasonable price. I would only add these points in assessing whether or not to consider... | |
| Speakers "Disappearing" I can't speak for ALL speakers but for every pair I've had over the past 30+ years, which coincides with when i started paying attention to such matters, placement counts very much in contributing to the disappearing act. With my current speakers ... | |
| Old or new gear Sophie999 the Odyssey Candela is nice and really so are the Quicksilvers, although i prefer the one without the remote with the cavaet "for the money". For a bit more i would consider the Conrad-Johnson classic 2 SE (upgraded teflon caps), defin... | |
| Verity speakers opinions/experience? I heard the Ovation with Nagra electronics, the Parsafal with Berning electronics and the Sarastro don't remember the electronics. All at the Montreal show in 2005. The Parsifal/Berning set-up one of the ground floor large rooms was the highlight ... | |
| Chance To UpGrade:Spatial Audio vs Reference 3A Late to the party and maybe by this time you have made a choice. I own the Decapo BE and have heard the M3s, both excellent speakers that would work well with your electronics. It is hard for me to make recommendations but I have been crazy over t... | |
| Old or new gear Sophie999 in response to your query about the Quicksilver 1k pre or to further include the model with the remote at 1.5k both of which I have heard in familiar systems. While both would and should be considered good values, my enthusiasm for these... | |
| The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... I agree with jsm71, pick your speaker first keeping in mind that the more inefficient the more power required from the amp. Not only that but impedance dips may further require more current demands from the amp. I personally prefer speakers that a... | |
| Old or new gear Another plus for Quicksilver, i believe Mike Sanders has just about perfected the art and science behind tube transformer design. Great amplifier lineup from bottom to top. I have a pair of Silver 88s and i just love these amps. With the right spe... | |
| Diana Krall All said and done Simao, i am about as influenced by others opinion as I am of their taste. I actually had someone in my home say they didn't want to listen to Tony Bennett after i suggested a recent purchase of a great vinyl recording of an early... |
