| Top ten tube preamps I second the Melody - absolutely delighted with it - lush, musical, good detail. Excellent. | |
| Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have BWM K1200 RS - love it! | |
| NY CD Shopping Many thanks everyone - very helpful. Looking forward to going back to NY - love the place. | |
| New Powersupply for Modwright owners I am also very interested as an owner of a Modwright Sony 9100ES in this upgrdade (I only just missed receiving this tube rectified supply) as part of the initial order although not sure of the benefit given my other system components. | |
| Audiolab 8000A and 8000S as an experiment I would suggest using the 8000A as a pre and the S to drive the speakers and see if there is an improvement over your current configuration. | |
| audio aero capitole cd player Hi All,Sorry to chime in but the AA Capitole is on my list as well although I am very close to pulling the trigger on a Modwright Sony. To clarify, if you have a pre-amp already, is it still worth the extra bucks for the Capitole? Do you simply di... | |
| One-upsmanship, best cd transp/player $800 I think for the money the Eastsound E-5 is an excellent purchase although I acknowledge the issues regarding servicing etc. as it is import only. | |
| Tube preamp $1500-2000 for a thin sounding amp? perhaps the Melody SHW 1688 II. Very full-bodied sound. | |
| Melody SHW1688 anyone recommend it? I would recommend it - after taking great advice from a fellow Audiogoner I am using it with the Audiopax Model 88 monoblocks and it is a wonderful combination. Very musical pre-amp with great tone and impact and without sacrificing detail - I als... | |
| Spanish Guitar music I agree with the recommendation for Friday Night in San Francisco - excellent album. Paco de Lucia is also another essential listen - a genius. | |
| Speakers Before Merlin TSM-MM I am extremely pleased with my TSM MXs. The detail, imaging and resolution are fantastic. I had TDL RTL 3s before so it was a huge upgrade. The TDLs sounded so unrefined in comparison and very inaccurate. | |
| Enrico Rava fans-what music do you suggest? Interesting thread. I saw Enrico Racva play here in Sao Paulo several months ago. He was accompanied by a fantastic young trombonist Gianluca Petrella who has released his own CDs and an awesome drummer by the name of Roberto Gatto together with a... | |
| Can anyone recommend a smooth, rich CD player? Eastsound E-5 | |
| Audiopax and Merlin I have auditioned the Audiopax Model 88 and Stereo 88 with the Merlin TSM-MX speakers and they were fantastic - particularly the Model 88 monoblocks. As a fellow Audiogoner has advised me, I think it is important to have a relatively high gain pre... | |
| Which Patricia Barber album floats yer boat? I agree with Maineiac - I like the Fortnight in France album - some good versions of jazz standards - as Maineiac says Witchcraft is particularly good. As an amateur jazz musician, I am not sure why some give Barber such a hard time - she seems to... |
