| Did You Get a Ticket for Kate Bush's London Gig? From the looks of it, you and everyone else are victims of ticket scalpers using automated software to snap up tickets the instant they go on sale. It's a chronic issue in the US. Maryland has a bill going through its legislature right now that wo... | |
| Review of Cullen Power and Speaker Cables Not hijacking the link but in all fairness I recently received an email from Steve at RAC(formerly MAC)saying he and his site are back up and running. So, unless things have changed very recently he apparently is not out of the biz. No connection ... | |
| Best Christmas music, CD or album on your list ? For me, hands down, it's Duke Ellington's Nutcracker Suite. I stumbled on a copy in a cut-out bin in 1976 and it's been my favorite ever since. I've since found an original 6-Eye and now I'm even happier. Nobody who hear's it doesn't fall in love ... | |
| Integrated Recommendation Mdooty-I went through five amp auditions before I found the W4S, and then the Rogue M-180s. My only advice is do not (and you can underline that or put it in bold caps) skimp on power. Chayro is 100% correct, the Mani's will leave lower power amps... | |
| Integrated Recommendation Before I settled into my Rogue M-180's I was driving my Mani-2's with a Wyred4Sound STI-500 (550W into 4 ohms). It had great, tight bass control which, if your environment is anything like mine, the Manis will love. The upper end was razor sharp i... | |
| My Audio Cables gone? Steve is still in business, but he's changed the name of his business to Rite Audio Cables (RAC) Cables.For some reason I cannot find the website, but here is his email address which should be good as we worked together just this past July.steve@r... | |
| Can you identify this piece for me? classical musi It's called "Olympic Fanfare and Theme", composed by John WIlliams for the 1984 Olympic Games. | |
| High powered amps for low sensitivity Audiotomb-You didn't say if you were looking for a tube or an SS amp.It took me more than a few auditions and a while to find what I was looking for to drive my low sensitivity Totem Mani-2's (85db, 4 ohm), but eventually found contentment with, f... | |
| what tubes for my Rouge 99 Mswobo-At the recommendation of the fine folks at Rogue, I upgraded to a pair of RCA clear tops. The first thing that presented itself to me was a pronounced difference in the clarity and extension of the mid-highs and highs over the stock tubes. ... | |
| Entry-level speaker cables For your budget, I recommend you try a pair of MAC Cables CuQ's. I've been running them now for around three years and still enjoy how they sound. I'm running them into a pair of Totem Mani-2's. | |
| New amp Oh stop your patronizing.Everyone knows it's preamp first, new amp second.Uh...never mind. Sorry. It's Puppet Show second. | |
| Tube Preamp with phono - replace Rogue Metis? I traded up my Metis for a Rogue 99 with the optional onboard phono pre. There is a world of difference between the two in both the line and the phono stages. The complaint you have about the lack of sensitivity of the Metis' remote is, in my opin... | |
| Vintage TT - looking to add one - recommendations? No post 1st time. Let's try this again.I have a 33 year old Yamaha YP-D8, which I love.Rock solid build with auto shutoff, built-in strobe and hinged dust cover. While I might supplement it with a second TT one day, I would not be likely to part w... | |
| Vintage TT - looking to add one - recommendations? I love my 33 year old Yamaha YP-D8. Rock solid with auto shut-off, built in strobe and hinged dust cover. Easy on the eyes too. | |
| Cured of upgraditis? Your system sounds wonderful, but be sure your beer is not in need of an upgrade. It's often the littlest things that make for the largest differences. Have fun...at least for a while. |
