| Aesthetix IO Eclipse Sidekick- I think i responded to your query on another forum and based on your stated preferences, would probably lean toward the tube unit. And, although it is not the same as trying it in your home, could you devote a couple days to a trip to, s... | |
| 5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes Trelja- according to the importer of the Allnic, the factory supplied tube was a Shuguang 5Z3PJ. I can't say i listened to it critically, because the unit was burning in at the time. I have a whole pile of vintage rectifier tubes including a coupl... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Postscript- I hadn't realized that the original thread starter had passed away recently, because I only caught this thread when folks were searching each other out in the last few posts. My condolences to all friends and family.Best,Bill Hart | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I don't get why the 'new' Audiogon prevents private messaging. I've heard it speculated that this will protect their fee structure, but it is easy enough to communicate offline via email. I have never screwed Audigon on a commission as a seller an... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? and he does show a lightspeed attenuator in his system.here's the link: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vevol&1275577400 | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? maybe it is a different devil boy. the guy i'm thinking of does have a system up called 'the gift and the curse.'I corresponded with him on his system thread. I don't know his real name.good luck. hope that helps. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I think he has a system on here, why don't you post to his system thread and ask him to email you, or vice-versa? The lack of private messaging here is a PITA. | |
| I feel like a toothless hillbilly - PW DAC FWIW, (and it may be nothing), I had a similar problem when i recently bought an HP 'wireless' printer/scanner to work with my new Apple stuff. Although the advertising makes it seem like it's plug and play, the manual is sorely out of date and th... | |
| 5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes I have been rolling rectifier tubes in my Allnic H 3000 phono power supply- the standard chinese tube didn't sound bad, but the unit wasn't really broken in much; an old Tung-Sol sounded very good; I still have to try the RCA NOS and am currently ... | |
| Diana Krall Survey She is a class act. Her work seems to focus largely on 'standards' and she does these well. Check out the Live in Paris recording or DVD. I have seen her perform in a relatively small room (under 2000 people), and even with a hand injury, she can ... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? "High-end" has become a euphemism for expensive but I do not necessarily associate that with musically satisfying. I have heard many over the top combinations of equipment that provide an exaggerated, 'hyped up' version of reality that are neither... | |
| Ultimate Cables no more? I had an experience decades ago that may help you. I pre-paid for a restored and updated Marantz 7 tube preamp. At first, communications were normal- things were progressing. (This was in the days before the Internet). Finally, it became apparent ... | |
| why do we argue? So, the moral of the story is even crazy people can be right occasionally? | |
| Can anyone recommend a ARC repair service in NYC a As Raquel mentioned, Peter is in Peekskill not far from Westchester and he is good. He is Soundsmith, who makes some very esoteric cartridges as well as handling repairs on all kinds of exotica. | |
| Audiogon members poor packing and shipping damage Yep, it's all in the packing. My Allnic arrived from Korea, well packed and no problems, sooner than a microwave oven we ordered at the same time through Amazon. The microwave box was bashed, and the oven was bashed. It wasn't in a shipping packag... |
