| Who makes the highest quality tube amps? Airtight, Jadis, Tube Research Labs, Nestorovic come to mind. I'd love to have a Jadis personally. | |
| 1993 Rega Elicit Intagrated Amp MM/MC settings Wow sounds like I would like a 1993 Elicit! Don't see those for sale too often if ever. | |
| Review: Dahlquist DQ-10 Speaker Has anyone replaced the 4" phillips midrange cone with anything significantly better?? I am looking at a 4" Scanspeak cone wondering what that will do... anyone have any other recommendations? | |
| Review: Dahlquist DQ-10 Speaker I have a pair of DQ-10's I bought about 4-5 months ago now, the later versions with mirror image.. for kicks I decided to use these as a project to replace crossover caps, resisters, tweeter drivers... to see what would happen... 1st project was t... | |
| JBL L166 Horizons - How much? Rrog: I find that.. odd.. changing the connector should NOT affect bass response negatively unless you miswired something... I have never run across that problem. | |
| 1993 Rega Elicit Intagrated Amp MM/MC settings Wondering how your Elicit would sound compared to the new version.. I have two Miras, the Mira and the Mira 3, plus I had the old version of the Brio... you can only use MM on those units. | |
| JBL L166 Horizons - How much? I have a pair I bought on ebay about 10 yrs ago... for I think $400 or 450 plus shipping... around 550 total.. If they are in good shape (nothing broken, badges on grills, no dents in domes, properly re-foamed woofers) I would say they should fetc... | |
| Japanese pressings/thanks to unknown collector I have bought numerous Japanese pressings over the years. They have a plus, namely, very clean low noise pressings. They have a minus, namely, lack of inner detail, space/air, delicate detailed imaging, etc. If you have a favorite title you cannot... | |
| Will a Marantz 2230 power B&W 650 speakers? I think most would say, "no"... The 2230 would be alot better off with a pair of JBL L-100's, for example. The 650 is probably looking for at least 100 wpc and high current dumping ablility to sing properly. | |
| It's time for a good CD player. Ditto on the Rega Saturn... I am very happy with mine. | |
| XLR & RCA caps I have the cardas caps on rca females on my pre-amps; no change in sound I can detect | |
| possibility of refinishing speaker A speaker of that calibre I would seek out a professional to refinish them. I would remove the drivers etc. before taking them to someone. If attempting it yourself, you will have to completely strip the outer poly/sealant coatings off which will ... | |
| Review: Merlin Music Systems TSM-MMI Monitor You should be able to find Cardas Golden Cross cables used, they are my favorite cables... hmm I keep hearing great things about these Merlins... why are they always for sale? I have Chario Academy 1 and wonder if the Merlins would 'dethrone' them. | |
| Petition: Stop the loudness wars I agree with you on this, but since I have retreated to the superior format of vinyl records I don't have this problem, mostly that is. | |
| TT upgrade advice? I'd second the Rega model 3. It's the quintessential step-up from those direct drive type 70's tables. When I first heard a Rega P-3 in 1986 compared to a Denon d.d. table and cart, the difference was night and day audible. I was sold and kept tha... |
