| Preamp Deal of the Century Khrys,I should know better than to continue down this path with you, but since you seem intent on doing whatever you can to cause trouble and thumb your nose at us, I must respond to your implication that the Supratek deal wouldn't be quite so swe... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Stiltskin,Welcome to the club. Since there is not much of a way to audition Supratek gear, most all of us here have had to buy on faith and the testimonials of strangers. If you have spent any time reading through this thread, you know already tha... | |
| Best 2-CH AMP at $2500 Occasionally, a Plinius SA-102 will appear for about that price. I love mine. | |
| Analog a dying breed Well said, Viridian. I second that emotion. | |
| Album which you have listened to most? Hard to name just three, but here are some tried and true contenders in my collection:Miles Davis - Kind of BlueJoni Mitchell - BlueRolling Stones - Sticky Fingers | |
| Best Tube Preamp & SS Amp Combos Another vote for Supratek Syrah. I have tried two or three SS amps with her, and am pleased with the results I'm now getting with the Syrah and a Plinius SA-102. Good combo. | |

| Speakers that sing The Piega P10s are going for the low side of your range, or less. I highly recommend that you add these to your list for auditioning. They are tremendous speakers, and an amazing value at $5K or less. | |
| Good Jazz/Vocal Reference CD Recommendations? Cassandra Wilson, any of them. Great voice, amazing sonics. | |
| Best band of the 80's I would vote for another Australia band, the Go-Betweens, in a tie with Husker Du as best bands of the 80s. | |
| Do we break in our componets or do our componets ? Rsbeck,With all due respect, I think you're either missing the point or haven't been around here long enough to recognize that this is an old debate with fairly clearly drawn sides. Although I'm a relative newbie compared to Tom (Twl), Redkiwi, an... | |
| Which artists do you just not get? Sean,That is a GREAT idea! Sort of an Audiogon "trading post." I can think of at least a dozen CDs/LPs I've bought this year that I would like to trade. I'm all for your idea. It may be worth creating a new thread in case other potential advocates... | |
| Used Morch DP-6 or modified Origin Live Silver? Damn it, Tom. You tease...Can you give us a hint? | |
| Used Morch DP-6 or modified Origin Live Silver? Tom,That is hilarious! Are they going to let you keep all that stuff as compensation for "borrowing" your idea? I'm looking forward to your impressions. David may be on to something there.Chris | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hey, Larry--The First Sound is an excellent preamp, no question. I had it in my system for nearly a year and enjoyed every minute of it. I could have lived happily with it, I believe, were it not that I wanted to get back into vinyl, wanted a pre ... |
