| picked up Steely Dan : Can't buy a Thrill on ABC Yup, I got one of those too... the best sound of "Can't Buy a Thrill" this was the 1st pressing, beats my other copies, esp. in the bass. You will not Find "Aja" on that black label because the yellow label was the label design when Aja came out..... | |
| I Haven't Seen These In Years... Well the Harbeth and Spendor make some that size.. for a price!Doesn't Klisch still make the Heresy?But yeah mostly nobody making those anymore... it's either minimonitor with sub, 'tower', or the super big jobs that cost 6 figures.Remember when t... | |
| HeadPhones: Best soundstage? The only 'cans' designed specifically with that notion in mind were by STAX, electrostatics, The SR-Sigma I believe... they had the diaphram in front like a rectangular 'box' and the sound came from 'in front' of your ears...I think it would be ve... | |
| RCA cleaners YES they are avail now from Music Direct... I bought two but have not yet used them. | |
| What makes the Bloom around instruments . . . I agree with Elizabeth, I think you've got it right.I have more bloom using a really really good passive now, and with better hot rodded power filtration units. I think a lesser preamp can not get the bloom resolved also... | |
| Power cords and turntable power supplies that is weird isn't it.. you would think power cable to turntable power supply box for motor would not be affected by selection of power cord... you got me wanting to experiment now! I use an Ensemble power cable and wonder what else I should try.. | |
| Used contact cleaner on Nak BX-300; now broke I have a BX-300, great deck by the way..It had drive functions fail some time back.. had to have the 'gear drive upgrade' performed by 'authorized service center'. Once this was done, everything worked fine again no problems. I would encourage you... | |
| Best Keith Jarrett records "Arbor Zena" mid 70's Jarrett with full orchestra, beautiful piece and one of my fav's.. "Nude Ants" and "Bop Be" are late 70's Jarrett in traditional jazz quartet setting, good stuff very innovative. In the 90's and 2000's some nice cds were rele... | |

| Acoustic Research AR9LS owners? Just for thought Agarrison, keep those AR9's they are going to be worth it; but I really really think you are going to have to get a real he-man ball busting amp in order to get the bass potential out of them. Sorry but the Yamaha amp and the Pioneer amp are not g... | |
| Acoustic Research AR9LS owners? Just for thought What about a used Threshold amp, in the 150 to 200 watt range? those typically go for around 1500 or even less sometimes.. bullet proof amp, should be a good match I think? Krell KSA 150, Forte 3 (higher watt one), I should think the Mac amp menti... | |
| Acoustic Research AR9LS owners? Just for thought I have a pair of AR-11's and always wondered about the AR-9.... the AR-11 can really suck up the power, likes to be fed by a high current dumping amp with 200 watts a side, or even more I think.. for the AR-9 I would think for them to sing you wou... | |
| Debuzzing a Wheaton TriPlanar problem wow that sounds really weird... like some voltage/current going the wrong way... I would have your phono/preamp checked instead for something leaking back to the tonearm leads (?) | |
| Proper loading for Benz Ruby 2 p.s. my T-9 is modded with 1 kilo-ohm mills resistor, and sounds great. |
