| Is it all worth it? After 35+ years in the hobby and endless cycles of buy...buy...buy...then dump it all, I've finally come to understand how my mind works in this regard. The more money you spend the higher the level of expectation. Beyond a certain financial point... | |
| Review: Magnepan MG-3.6r Speaker Hi Maggiefan8This is quite an old thread you've resurrected here, lol.If you read the initial post you'll note that I used the Maggies with amps plenty capable of providing the requisite amount of power - Krell and Perreaux among others. I also bo... | |
| TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile??? I have to remind myself that 'tube like' is a truncated expression that is missing the words 'but NOT tubes'.You can't have your cake and eat it, it's either tube or it isn't tube...lol.I just sold my Ampzilla 2000 monoblocks and Ambrosia preamp c... | |
| Any Aesthetix Calypso VS Cary SLP-05 comparison? There's a simple gain mod for the Calypso which in my system cured the noise problem. It's just flicking a couple of circuit board switches if I remember, takes but a minute to do. Since then the unit has been dead quiet into my 106db speakers.Occ... | |

| Anti-jitter device with I2S output? Audio Alchemy Dti Pro 32 has I2S. It works great too.Rooze | |
| Best Balanced/XLR Under $200 The Straightwire Maestro suggestion is a good one. Also, the BMC (Black Mountain Cable Co.) XLR's are very good for the price. A little warmer and smoother than the Straightwires (in my system, my ears, etc) and they seem to go at auction for less... | |
| Best Genesis Album - your opinions please. Rackon, that's a great period in their history you were able to be involved in. You mentioned their farewell tour at McCormick, there was actually one other show at Milton Keynes in 1982. Gabriel had run into serious money problems promoting his W... | |
