| Avalon Eidolon Diamond price Wireless200, I have paid the fee for the Blue Book several times, although currently my subscription has run out. I have found it to be reliable for more frequently traded items, perhaps lower priced items also. I suppose less frequently traded hi... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond price Jax2, thanks for your thoughts. The replacement will likely be a pair of Avalon ISIS. I am not listing my Diamonds at the moment, but responding to a wanted to buy ad. Thanks again. John. | |
| Which Steely Dan Aja lp to buy? Thanks for the input, seems unanimous for the original ABC (which I already have, albiet not a very clean copy). Somebody must be buying these re-issues? | |
| ASR Basis Exclusive or Einstein The TT's Choice Sabertouch - Thanks for your comments on the Einstein, they are appreciated. Congrats, great to be so pleased with an audio purchase, isn't it! | |
| ASR Basis Exclusive or Einstein The TT's Choice I was just about to post this exact same question when I saw your post. Unfortunately, I have no insight into the answer. I currently use the BAT vk-p10SE w/super pack, which is a great unit, but want to switch to solid state. I have too many tube... | |
| Which Tube Pre for 5K? I had similar requirements in terms of price and wanting a tube design, true balanced differential circuit and a remote. I bought the Calypso and havn't regretted it for a moment. I think the Calypso is an incredibly great unit. You may want to up... | |
| NOS tubes for Aesthetix Calypso I am currently using the Calypso. I have done some tube swapping, and have currently settled on the Mullard 10M 12ax7 gold pin and the Amperex 6922 PQ white label. I have found this combination very musical, although I admit to being influenced by... | |
| Which better in Class D PS Audio or Bel Canto???? I have been interested in the new wave of Class D amps myself. About 3 months ago I acquired a pair of new Class D mono blocks made by Gilmore Audio, called the Raptor. These amps are very musical, and perform well across the frequency spectrum. N... | |
| Parasound JC-1 and B&W 803d I have heard some earlier Class D amps that I found unnatural and incoherent, and I heard those on the Avalon Eidolons speakers as well. However, I do not hear any of that with the Raptors, they sound very natural and coherent to my ears. I think ... | |
| Parasound JC-1 and B&W 803d Having owned the JC-1's and a few other solid state amps, I'll chime in here. I second Braro's view that JC-1's can be bright, they were in my system. I use Avalon Eidolons, and quite frankly I was dissapointed with the JC-1's. I have recently bee... | |
| Budget Amp for Avalon Eidolon Eavr11, even though you already made your purchase decision, I wanted to weigh in here with another recommendation for others who may read this thread. I have used the Avalon Eidolons for nearly 5 years now, and have tried several amps with them, ... | |
| Review: Balanced Audio VK P10 SE w/ Super Pak Tube preamp Thanks for the good review. I bought a p10SE and haven't got it up and running yet (I'm in the middle of some system changes). I have been shopping for tubes to replace the stock 6DJ8's in the p10se. I saw you are using the Amperex USN 7308's. Did... | |
| Merlin Room at 2004 HE Show in NY I went to the show for about 2 hours Friday just to hear the Merlin room and the Epiphany room. The sound in the Merlin room was outstanding (much better than Epiphany room). I have never heard any of the pervious Merlins before, and I was truely ... | |
| The Perfect Room? Ozfly and others, thanks for the great info and threads. They are very much appreciated.John | |
| WAF, Help, Need Strategy Won't work for everyone, but I put the speakers in the living room, the amps in the utility room below downstairs, and the front end in the sunroom off the living room. Run balanced XLR interconnects from front end through the floor to amps in bas... |
