| Dodd Preamp Question I have tried the Siemens, Amperex and Mullards and can report that in my system there is no contest, the Mullards are by far the best sound. They are not at all tubby or bloated or rolled off on either extreme. This is not subtle. Now, all of the ... | |
| My favorite Steely Dan song has to be... Boston rag | |
| Best redbook CD player I would look into the Accuphase units or the RA Opus (as mentioned above). | |
| A spousal revelation ... and a tall order. Help Coincident Total Eclipses will come up occasionally in that price range..they totally image and love tubes! Plus they have finesse and ability to rock. Full range in the frequency spectrum. | |
| iPod docking station - Belkin vs Wadia vs Arcam My $.02.....Just bought the Wadia iTransport. It is very good and waaaay better than using the DAC in the Ipod. You must have an external dac (I am using a Camelot Uther v2 mk 4). Honestly, the Ipod is so close to going from the CD transport that ... | |
| LEGACY FANS ? I had 20/20's and the Edge amps worked great.....I had the M8M on them. It was great. | |
| Best recorded rock album.Amused to Death.R.Waters? I also forgot to add a couple of other "classics" which were fabulous on LP and still very good on later CD versions.....Supertramp - Crime of Century & Even in the Quietest Moments. Dire Straits - Love over Gold (particularly Telegraph Road, ... | |

Again, my point is not whether Amused to Death has a great story or such, simply that it is a remarkable recording (although I do like 70% of the tracks). I personally think Roger has some majo... | |
| Used Speaker Recommendations Under $5k... Either Coincident Total Eclipses or Legacy Focus 20/20. Both are considerably less than $5k and have big dynamic sound. | |
| Pet Peeves - my Rants and Raves Thanks for the feedback. A couple of points of clarification to my initial post. Paypal - this was never a payment requirement by me - I would also take other methods but this would delay shipment (unless a USPO MO). The buyer proposed it. My poin... | |
| Pet Peeves - my Rants and Raves That is not why they were removed. Your point is well taken and informative. These were removed due to value. That is my point. Thanks | |
| Broke and still not happy I would suggest a tube amplifier. Consider an ARC VT100 or SF Power 2. I experience the same feeling from time to time and it almost always goes back to crappy digital recordings. It is amazing how bad most popular music is recorded. In fact, the ... | |
| Warm sounding cables - non fatiguing One additional clarifcation......I am interested in both IC and speaker cables. Thanks | |
| sleeper budget redbook players.... Buy an inexpensive DVD player with digital out and get an ART DIO dac. A modified one for ~$300 will smoke anything in this price range | |
| Tubes for Bottlehead Foreplay Sorry -- they are 12au7's (2x). |
