| Manley Neo 250s and Maggies This response might be a bit late but I have owned the Manley 250's with Maggie 3.6's since May 05 and I love the breadth/depth of my soundsatge. I recently, based on Paul Fargo's recommendation, switched out the GT EL-34's for Electro Harmonix 6C... | |
| Powerful Tube Amp for SF Strads? I currently have Maggie 3.6's which have a sensitivity of 88db's and 5 ohms with Manley Neo Classic 250 Mono's | |

| Linn Sondek Hype A lot of opinions are generated about Linn but mine is positive. Most products in this hobby have an upgrade path so I do not belive that is a legit complaint. I have owned my Linn for about 12+ years and have upgraded to the Cirkus, Lingo, Ekos, ... | |
| Vinyl Frontend/Linn LP12 Question I remain a satisfied Linn owner after 10+ years. I have followed the upgrade path including Lingo,Trampolin II, Ekos, Cirkus etc. No Keel though. I must admit when I heard the Keel I was very impressed. I also like you have ARC (LS-15). I have sin... | |
| LP -12 Felt Plater Mat I went to the Boston web site and read with interest the info. I was shocked at the price but I think I'll try it anyway. Fortunately, I have two sons in college so my purchases are not impulsive, but well thought out. I'll keep you posted. Thanks... | |
| LP -12 Felt Plater Mat As always I appreciate your responses. I am not familiar with "Herbie's Way" or Boston Audio so more info on this would be nice. I tried a ring mat and with good sonic results, but I returned it however because I could not justify paying that pric... | |
| Name a couple of HOLY GRAIL LPs Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" 180 gram 45 RPM.......As sweet a recording as you will ever hear. | |
| Audiophile turntables of the 60's and 70's My dad owned a Gerard 301 in the 60's. It was his initial stab at seperates from our Grundig console. He later bought a Benjamin Miracord ELAC with a Sure Cartridge. This table had an optional long spindle to accommodate record stacking which no o... | |
| Manley vs VTL?? I had one listening experience with the VTL amps. I ended up buying the Manley Neo 250's. Ms. Manley "bent over backwards" to provide an audition opportunity before I purchased because there are no dealers in my state. She/their customer service h... | |
| Turntable advise for an analog novice I believe that most will agree that an LP-12 in the pre-owned market is about as good a turntable as you will find. | |
| Stereophile or Absolute Sound Well, At one time I subscribed to both. I was tired of the always kind reviews and stopped subscribing to either. I recently returned to Stereophile (cost) and not much has changed. I must admit that I do anticipate the "recommended Components" is... | |
| Manley Neo Classic 250 vs ARC Ref 110 I own the 250's, with ARC LS-15, driving Maggies. At the time of my purchase, I auditioned the VTM mono's. They were priced higher than Manley but I thought I heard a little more bloom with the ARC. Just ask yourself if you prefer the sound of 655... | |
| VTL MB-450 with Maggies I'm using my 3.6's with the Manley 250 monobbocks/ARC LS 15 for over two years. Great sound stage. My first Maggies were the 2.6 purchase in 1993. My VTL experience was limited to Von Schwiekert/Shanling in 2005 while in the Bay area. The spkrs im... | |
| Should I replace my LP12? I have tossed this idea around a number of times. I had an identical post about 1.5 years ago. I've chosen to stay at home with my LP-12. I have the Trampolin,Cirkus, Lingo, and Ittok LV II with a Shelter 90X. I've thought about/played with Teres ... |
