| Best Two-Way Monitor Speakers under $700 New/Used I don't think my friend will add a sub-woofer (at least initially, but I could be wrong). I think he would prefer to purchase a pair of efficient two-way speakers equipped with dynamic bass and mid-range capabilities. I really like Totem Acoustic ... | |
| Best Two-Way Monitor Speakers under $700 New/Used Hello everyone. Thanks for the responses. These recommendations are great! I'll share them with him and continue to monitor the thread for new ideas. | |
| Vintage Tube Services Still in business? I spoke to Andy in early July regarding a purchase. He told me at that time that he was launching a new company (or a new division). He was going to revamp the VTS website and post a new website for the new division. On the day I spoke with him, h... | |
| 6SN7 Tube pre amp with great sound staging capabil My recommendation is the Mystere "ca11". Recently bought one and couldn't be happier. This model incorporates a small form chassis and retails for $1795 (new). You can buy the full size model for $2295. I replaced the stock 6SN7 Chinese tubes with... | |
| Debut III or MMF-5 Hey Bill. Check out US Audio Mart and search for Pro-Ject and you'll find my turntable. Reason for selling: I bought a vintage Rega Planar 25 table recently. | |
| Best Integrated, period. Give the Mystere ia11 a try for the money. I think it's a sleeper among the competition. http://www.mystere-usa.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=89&Itemid=165 | |
| Speaker cable suggestions for B&W 804 Diamond Give the Mapleshade Double Helix PLUS speaker cables a try. A friend of mine recommended them; I'm a better man for it! While they're somewhat difficult to work with initially due to their construction, once you get them uncoiled (straightened out... | |
| Debut III or MMF-5 Hey Bill.Both are excellent turntables. I have a Pro-Ject Debut III for sale right now on another site. If interested, let me know. With that said, both the Pro-Ject and Music Hall turntables are manufactured at the same plant and represent excell... | |
| Mapleshade Double Helix Speaker Cables UPDATE: All is well! I uncoiled the speaker cables, straightened them, and reconnected to the speaker posts. Everything worked out fine. Once the kinks in the cabling were gone, things fell into place for me. While it resembles modern artwork behi... | |
| Mapleshade Double Helix Speaker Cables Thanks for everyone's responses. I'll uncoil them and try to straighten them out as best I can (taking into account everyone's suggestions). The only other issue that I have is trying to keep them connected to the speaker terminals. They simply do... | |
| Recommending a tube preamp for Linn amps/speakers Check out the Mystere CA11 tube preamp for $1795 new. Awesome unit! I bought one to replace my Primaluna Prologue Three. Very satisfied with value proposition offered by this company. Hard to beat in this price range. | |
| My tube amp sounds darker now. Just wanted to add my $0.02 to the conversation. I agree with others who've said something doesn't sound right when you say the Siemens CCAs sound "dark". I just installed four Siemens 1960s vintage, grey plate, silver pin, 6DJ8s in my Manley Chin... | |
| Morrow Audio Cables Feedback Hey guys. I echo what others have said about Morrow Audio cable quality and personal satisfaction. I agree with them. I purchased Morrow Audio interconnects and speaker cables when I first set up my system. Right now, I have the entry-level editio... | |
| Best Compact Floorstanders? Hey Josh.I'll add my thoughts - I really like the pair of used Totem Sttaf floorstanders that I bought recently from a guy in Vancouver, BC. Incredible speakers for the money. I don't know what these guys are saying about the Sttafs not having eno... | |
| Are there any albums you consider perfect? I certainly second the motion by Whart on Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus. Simply outstanding music and production. One of my top ten albums of all time. Enjoy! |
