| Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet? I have spent quite a bit of time listening to the SLA-1 for the past week or so, and have more or less arrived at the following conclusions. First, it is an unbelievable value, and I like the idea of having it in a second system and as a backup am... | |
| Rock Music: 1951-1976 vs. 1977-2003 For me, it is pretty simple. On one side, you have the Beatles, Stones, Dylan, Creedence Clearwater, James Brown, Steely Dan, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Neil Young, and many others recording at the height of their artistic powers.Who would like ... | |
| Thank You, to the Person Who Helped You the Most. I have found that regular contributors to this forum are, without exception, unfailingly helpful, thorough, pleasant, and generous with those of us less knowledgable about the technical ways and means of high end audio. Several members here have t... | |
| Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet? Sean,No apology necessary--not from you. Defending the integrity of this site is something we should all do as vigorously as possible. As for price, I got my amp from fullcompass.com for $209 delivered.For anyone interested,Dlshifi has just posted... | |
| Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet? Guys, I'll admit I am in a bit of a quandary, and I am probably not the only one. The right place at the right time might well turn out to be the wrong place at the wrong time. Be that as it may, I am now owner of this amp and am letting it break ... | |
| Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet? Since I was already in the market for a modestly priced amp for my office system when the controversial and now-deleted first thread on the ART popped up, I decided to take a chance on the ART SLA-1 and see what it would sound like in my system be... | |
| Stunning cable comparison I am not familiar with your cables, but I would give them some time to break in before drawing any conclusions about their performance. I know there are many here who do not believe in break-in, but I have seen significant changes in speakers, amp... | |
| Richard Thompson?? Yeah, me too, Lee. I will probably get the soundtrack anyway, as it appears to have some other pretty cool stuff on it, but I would have preferred to see it on his latest LP. Have you heard Richard's new record, 'Old Kit Bag'?I just bought it, but... | |
| Richard Thompson?? Spindrifter,It is on the 'Crossing Jordan' soundtrack.best regards, | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Lisbon--Jazzdude is correct. I have had the Plinius SA-102 in my system for the past several months now, and it sounds great with the Syrah. Previously, I had Bel Canto EVO 200.2 amps in a monoblock configuration, and while the sound was extremely... | |
| Who are the Jazz Cats on Audiogon? I reckon I'm a jazz cat, or at least a kitten. As is the case with so many, my portal into jazz was Miles Davis--fusion first (I believe Jack Johnson and Bitches Brew were the first two jazz LPs I bought, in the early 1980s), then the immortal 'Ki... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Jeff SS, I also have a Spacedeck and just ordered up a Shelter 501. I will be glad to let you know my impressions as soon as I get the cartridge, which will be paired with an Origin Live Silver arm. I am confident it will be a great match.Good rev... | |

| What's your latest "Discovery" The White Stripes' new record, "Elephant." It took a little while for their previous LPs to really grab me, but this one did right away. If there is going to a better record this year, I can't wait to hear it. | |
| song title that is memorable 'Rufus Is a Tit Man' - Loudon Wainwright III(It's about his son) |
