| Vinyl price There are books available at libraries and most book stores which have extensive information on records. | |
| best interconnects sub 100 Cheap is subjective. You can get good and cheap at Radio Shack. What is your budget? There are alot of stores off-loading their old Audioquest (Topaz, Jade, etc) at about 40% off retail if you call around. There is also a DIY guy on Ebay who sells... | |
| Integrateds that could drive Magnepan's or other tuff loads Plinius 8200. 175wpc and plenty of current to drive those Maggies. Has option for phono too. | |
| Is there anyone who came back from tubes to SS? I recently moved out of my Copland CTA-402 tube integrated into a Plinius SA-100mkII and C-J PV11 and couldn't happier. Yes, there is some hiss if you put your ear to the drivers, but when music is introduced, it's wonderful! The ProAc 2.5s are ha... | |
| Best cleaning fluid procedures with VPI HW16.5?? I have used the 16.5 for about 8 months and have used various techniques. But, this one seems best for really dirty records:1- Take 'em to the sink and wash with warm water and any dishwashing detergent on a clean sponge to remove finger oils, dus... | |
| looking for the right integrated I heard these at HES 2001 with Classe CAM 200s. Sounded great. The assumption is that the CAP-151 might be a good match. | |
| Best wires for a ProAc SPK and ARC AMP My local dealer (Audio Outlet, yeah I know you guys don't much like Frank) let me hear the HT Magic Woofer and the Vt100mkII. At $1600 for 8ft pair, these cables are very special. If you feel the need, matching jumpers can be ordered. But they ain... | |
| Duke Ellington CD Recommendations The re-release of the Concert at the Newport Jazz Festival 1957 is great fun. The 20 bit re-master is well done. | |
| Good SS match for C-J PV10 preamp PV 10a with the Aragon 4004mkII, using Cardas Quadlink5 ICs and DIY speaker cable to Maggie MGBs' was a great system. Sorry I sold everything! | |
| The most beautiful Integrated Tube amp? Have you seen the musical fidelity nuvista? Check out audioadvisor.com. Really pretty! | |
| What songs make you cry? Anything with John Lennon singing. From "Twist and Shout" to "Watching the Wheels". I miss his presence on the planet. | |
| Best EL34G tubes for Cary Audio cad 40M? I have used the Sovtek, JJ Teslas and Valve Arts in my Copland CTA-402 integrated. My favorites are the Valve Arts. Abstract7 mentions the Harmonix. Here is a link to a dutch auction for a MQ at $49.99. These retail at $71.00 on Harmonix web page.... | |
| Best Speakers at Stereophile show Did anyone think the Talon's were all that great? I know I wasn't that impressed at $14k. I also thought the new Joseph Audio's were ok, but again at $7400, there are alot of choices. However, I thought the biggest bang-for-the-buck were the Gersh... | |
| Cal Audio Alpha 24/96 upgrade? Hello Ton1313-I have done the upgrade AND replaced the stock tubes with others. I have tried NOS Westinghouse, Mullards and Teles. I have decided that my Amperex goldpins sound best. Now to answer your question, in hindsight, I would not have made... | |
| Best EL34 ? You all seem to point to older EL34s. I have experimented with Tesla JJs, Sovteks and Valve Art as the Mullards, Teles' and Amperex are too costly, especially NOS MQs. The Valve Arts provide great bass, wonderful soundstage and pure mids/HF. I pai... |
