| Warm, yet detailed tube preamp The not to expensive (for some) LTA MICROZOTL MZ3 PREAMPLFIER that punches far beyond it’s $3700 price tag. And when I rolled in NOS tubes it responded that much better. I got mine used from LTA which came with a $400 discount on a one month old u... | |
| Best 12AU7? I got (2) matched pair of NOS Siemens & Halske E82CC ECC802S ECC82 5814 which are an upgraded 12AU7 tube, triple mica, made in Munich, Germany from tubes.rs on ebay. They are outstanding but pricey. | |
| Bob James I was and still are a huge fan of the Bob James CTI years with James working with Creed Taylor the wonderful producer and Rudy Van Gelder the fantastic recording engineer. Theses three together made some killer music in those years. James also arr... | |

| Transport Recommendations @tweak1, sorry for not getting back to you. The AudioLab 6000CDT transport is just built right that punches way above it's price point. I actually prefer the non-tray transport CD feeder than a tray transport feeder that seems to get degraded and ... | |
| Transport Recommendations @burtlake, I just ordered the Shanling ET3 straight from the source for a whopping total of $724.00. It’ll be awhile until I get it and run it through it’s paces. Time to sell my AudioLab 6000CDT... | |

| Transport Recommendations I also have the AudioLab 6000CDT and when they came out with the AudioLab 9000CDT with the tray, I was disappointed it did not have the I2S connection or I would have upgraded to that transport. | |

| Vinyl is back for good and that’s exciting Why do audiophiles sometimes, not all the time, like take the fun out of just listening to music? Not only do I remember the fun of just simple crate digging, I still do. I’ve gotten some really nice gems at Goodwill type stores at a buck a piece,... | |
| "The Mystery Of Sound Is Mysticism" I wonder what Duke Ellington might’ve said on this topic He has, he has told this story before about how especially between gigs on a train, plane and in cars he was always writing/creating news songs on any kind of paper he could find even nap... | |
| "The Mystery Of Sound Is Mysticism" That is just a small sample of his mind-blowing catalog of songs. I’d love to hear a purely science/data-based explanation how one person can do something like that 😉 Happy Holidays! It’s called Channeling. Jimi Hendrix did it and so did D... |
