| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? Gang: I have had the Steelhead for 5-6 years, bought it new, never liked it straight in, and with the Lamm Reference line stage, it made pretty good music, using NOS Teles and rolling the 7044 tubes as well. There is a noise in my Lamm Reference, ... | |
| Recommend some Blues music to a newbie Ruston, looks like we overlapped.:) | |
| Free Summer Music/Pittsburgh Not free, but when I lived in the 'Burgh back in the day, every major act came through, in part due to the 'connected' promoters, and the fact that it was a big enough city to accomodate large crowds in big venues. Here's a list that reflects just... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State As Ralph (I am assuming it was Ralph for Atmasphere) said, it is all in the matching- I have used tube amps since the very early 70's and have used many ARC products during that time. ( I currently use very low powered SET tube amps by Lamm, but w... | |
| Recommend some Blues music to a newbie Blues covers a range of music, as reflected in some of the posts made here so far. Joey B. is electric blues reminiscent of Clapton in the formative years (although Joey has gotten too hard rock for me, still love him, and have seen him a bunch of... | |
| NYC Axpona Audio Show report That is correct, Chester Group organized. I wonder why hi-fi manufacturers don't do road shows or pop-up stores in areas where there are few dealers.Introducing people beyond the usual assortment of folks who frequent the conventional dealerships,... | |
| Are there any albums you consider perfect? Anybody mention 12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus? Spirit was at their pinnacle, and very, very capable, not only at hard rock, but at a fusion of jazz style (think the older track, not on this album,- 'Fresh Garbage') and catchy pop. Throw in the great... | |
| NYC Axpona Audio Show report Bill Parrish (GTT Audio) always does a great job. My take:NYC is not well-suited for shows, and that may explain why these don't happen here much anymore. Several manufacturers chose to use local dealerships as their 'host' venue coinciding with t... | |
| INTEGRA DHC-80.3 Surround Processor Have Integra solved the problems that were associated with the ribbon cable and other defects that were the subject of their recent press release?I was thinking of buying one to replace my aged Meridian 565 (still performing yeoman's service in a ... | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- You think live music events aren't true to the recording and don't sound 'open' and 'musical' compared to your system. | |
| re-tubing Lamm ML 2 Thanks, P. Like your system. I remember when Highwater Sound opened.Assume you are in greater NYC area, as am I.Feel free to email me since it appears we no longer have private message function on Audiogon. While other webbased services are expand... | |
| re-tubing Lamm ML 2 Mechans: sorry, my post wasn't clear. We know what tube it is, the question is the particular characteristics of it. See my response to PCosta, just below.Pcosta: and that's the only issue, P? I thought that one of the tubes was used for output an... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? judging by the range of vehicles, from exotic to utilitarian, to everything in between, I'd say that the vehicle of an audiophile is no more 'typical' than the audiophiles themselves, that is, a diverse group of people with different tastes, inter... | |
| Changing from Vinyl to Digital in Brave New World All of you have been more than generous with your thoughts and time. You have also convinced me (surprise?) that I am not ready to give up vinyl, although I will probably cull the collection, at least by roughly separating what I think is worth ke... |
