| Cary CAD 120S Mk II amps I think Anthony Cordesman is a Cary 120sII user…at least he used to be, and reviewed it a while back. He loved the thing. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Also note you can get a 5 pack of excellent Littelfuses for under 9 bucks including shipping! They really help in bringing cellos out of the mix and then throwing them out into the alley behind the Beacon Theater, providing more coherant blending ... | |
| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? Is there a small, inexpensive car that goes zero to sixty in under 2.5 seconds? And I also want it to handle like a Porsche and hit a top speed of 250 mph. And have a full size trunk with the ability to drive underwater and get great gas mileage…f... | |
| Tube Power Amp Suggestions Cary monos, Cary S120II, ARC Ref 75…those are my fave "non-budget" amps that I would consider when I tire of my el cheapo Jolida 502p. | |
| What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz? Physics can be a pesky thing, and the mutually exclusive nature of including "small" and "clean at 20 hz" in this post does seem a little paradoxical. I use 2 RELs in my hifi rig and they're sort of smallish I suppose, as are the drivers in my Sil... | |
| What's been playing on your turntable and what turntable is it ? My old (original actually) Blues Breakers ("Beano") with Clapton LP on a clean Linn Basic/Akito rig…love that album. | |
| Do you clean your records before play, after play, or once (and then never again)? Not sure where crap comes from on a cleaned LP (dust when playing it?…na…) so I clean 'em once and clean my stylus often as that's pretty quick. | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? 50,000 or so deaths attributed directly to alcohol use annually (just in the U.S.), zero deaths attributed to pot. Zero. | |
| Turntable Help Not to throw a wrench into the thread, but I’m looking to replace a table at some point and the non adjustable Rega VTA still vexes me. I get Rega’s reasoning, but I don’t know of any other table company that doesn’t allow tweaking of what seems t... | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? The above comment assumes that all "drugs" are the same thing, and they’re simply not that simplistic except to the uninformed. I don’t think many people "need" to smoke a little pot to enjoy music (or riding a motorcycle), but the ability to chan... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Of course vibration can have an impact on turntable lathes and tables themselves. However, I’m not so sure about other components without moving parts being helped much by spikes and fancy racks, and that doubt has saved me some bucks over the yea... | |
| Norah Jones My revised (somewhat) opinion is I like this CD more now after playing it louder. It just works better | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? Luckily my drivers license lists my eye color as "red." Also it's worth noting that the majority of major car accidents involve people who are sober so we clearly need to spend more time worrying about THEM. | |
| Hi-Fi Tunig Fuses & Parasound A21 I think it's dangerous to introduce actual scientific facts into the Fuse Voo Doo world as it is VERY important to retain the mystery of fuses as entire business models rely on this. Atmasphere continues to toss these facts into the mix willy nill... | |
| subwoofer to match with my bookshelf/monitors Used RELs are around if you're patient…I use both a 10" 150e and an 8" 108e mkII, and I imagine either would do the job for your system as they're amazingly well designed. I paid around 200 bucks for each and they were in excellent shape. |
