| i just bought a nice pair of Piega C10 Ltds Well, I finally followed hantrax and brentknoll's advice regarding the nixon tube dac with piega speakers. I have had a few sources (opra audio ref. 2.2, denon 3910 with hram level 2 mods, and aloia cdp which is now my transport) with my piega's a... | |
| room design help In my experience, your room should be about 16' wide. Mine is appx. 14.5' and seems a little narrow. Double sheetrock and a weatherstripped solid wood door is invaluable. For the ceiling I would opt for the more expensive specialty drywall that is... | |
| Trying out a tube preamp Lector zoe and an aloia amp is what did it for me. It took another leap forward with a thor power conditioner. I have lived with it for a while now and I am still amazed. With good live recordings there is absolutely no sense of speakers in the ro... | |
| Best female vocals on CD Definately, Robinella "solstace for the lonely" What a voice. | |
| Ani Difranco I heard her "live" at the Tennessee Theater in Knoxville. Fantastic show. However, the men's restroom was full of women. I had to go back outside to make sure I was in the right one. Once I confirmed I was in the right one, I figured I didn't mind... | |
| How far apart are your speakers? Depends on your room size. My speakers are almost 10' apart as well as my listening distance. | |
| Opinions on replacement for B&K ref20 b&k...made in the U.S.A. ...Cal. audio labs which is out of business makes a great 5.1 at great used prices. Arcam is what I sold for the Cal gear. I am happy with the swap. | |

| tube preamp used with HT Lector ZOE | |
| Revel F52 solution vs jbl synthesis array Revel makes an excellent product. Most are placement sensitive, but when they are dialed in, they are magnificent. I know from experience. | |
| Speaker recommendations please Piega c-8ltd. I paid $6500 for a pair and love them. Seen some for the same price lately also. They are stereophile class "a" rated. Retail is close to $17k if I am not mistaken. | |

| i just bought a nice pair of Piega C10 Ltds I, too, made the upgrade from the revel f30 to piega c-8ltd. I confer. A great upgrade, although the f30's weren't too shabby. I use an aloia amp and lector zoe preamp. My current source is the consonance opera audio ref. 2.2 cdp. Great product al... | |
| Any shows coming up? I had the same question. I hear the Rocky Mountain Show is the best of the bunch. I think it is next fall. If at all possible I think I will try to make it. Also there is a big HT show in NYC this late spring or early summer. | |
| Tube pre-amps with Home Theater bypass... I am waiting for a lector zoe. Some have ht pass. The dealer I am getting mine from stated that the pass is not needed. Just set the volume to zero gain on the preamp. Supposed to be a fantastic tubed preamp. |
