| Any Piega p 10 users out there? Thanks for the reply, Jtinn. Would anyone care to sound off on the sonic differences between the P10 and P8? One would assume the P10 just does more of the same type of thing the P8 does (more resolving, better bass extension, etc.), but is the di... | |
| Any Piega p 10 users out there? Any opinions on how the Bel Canto EVO 200.2 might sound on them, especially if paired with a nice tube preamp? What about running two of them as mono blocks? | |
| Raining on My Parade... Thanks for the suggestions, folks, and the humor. In this hobby, you have to smile sometimes when things go from bad to weird. I have tried a few different things, including inserting an old JVC turntable and Audio Technica cartridge into the syst... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Good answer, Fiddler. Since I live in the audio hinterlands, I have bought virtually every bit of my system (except for the speakers) as a result of research I have done on this site and by contacting members I trust. So far so good. Even though I... | |
| Anyone familiar with "White Stripes" ??? Hey, Sean. Nice call on the Kinks' influence. It's definitely in there. Fujindemon has it right. There are three albums and scads of singles and bootlegs out there (check on eBay), the latter of which are now pretty pricey as their cult following ... | |
| I am having technical problems w/ Audiogon-help Good idea, Sean. I am evidently having the same problem as Bryan1, and I have no idea why. I'll try the hotmail solution. Thanks for the suggestion... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century OK, BWhite, where are you? After reading your marvelous review of premium CD players in another thread and also reading your rave review of the Supratek preamps in yet another, I'm sure we would all be grateful for a similar "shootout" here betwee... | |
| Here's How I Make My Equipment Racks I figured it out. Thanks, Ohlala. | |
| Here's How I Make My Equipment Racks What a GREAT thread to stumble upon when you're thinking of different alternatives in setting up a new turntable rig, as I am. I had been thinking about buying another Atlantis, as my Reference 5-shelf is already full. I love the IKEA plan, which ... | |
| 19th Nervous Breakdown... I'm much obliged for all the good advice, folks. At the moment, I am sort of leaning toward a Nottingham Spacedeck with a OL modified Rega 250 arm and one of the Dynavector cartridges. As for phono stages, maybe the Phonomena or Lehman's Black Cub... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Much of Neil Young's catalog, most of Nick Drake's, some of John Coltrane's... This kind of list is so mood and situation dependent. Catch me at the right (or wrong) moment, even Meat Loaf can get to me. Since my father passed away last year, I ca... | |

| Jazz Review: Miles Davis I just stumbled on this, thanks to a recent post, and loved it. Thanks to SdCampbell for a terrific essay and overview of one of my personal heroes. I fully understand that every Miles' fan has his or her personal favorites, and I would not quibbl... | |
| Can Someone Explain This? Well, it now appears, after yet more experimenting tonight, that the problem may not be in the CD player after all. I am still missing information from the same disc, but now I appear to be missing it in the old player as well. But the same disc s... | |
| Can Someone Explain This? Thanks, everyone. I think I am relieved mostly because this scenario seems plausible to those of you in the know. I suppose I should have mentioned that I am burning in two new amps (Bel Canto EVO 200.2), new ICs (Homegrown Audio Silver Lace), alo... |
