| 6922 tube companies, who do you like best? Brian, are you asking for currently available (manufactured) tubes, or all 6922 types ever made, including NOS? | |
| Your top 10 vinyl LPs that never made it to CD Not positive some of these not have released on CD since I last checked. There are probably several hundred, these are the ones in my collection that come to mindNeil Young, "On The Beach" (Atlantic)Lightnin' Hopkins, "Sings the Blues" (Crown)Jimm... | |
| Records are better. I actually heard it TWL is right about new LP's. I've bought 19 new releases in the last two months. These are new artists and new releases (not reissue of old material). | |
| System for a teenager Great responses, and thank you Pete for the extensive post. There are many thoughtful examples of what may be done with only $1500.00.This teenager is not typical. He spent much of his 16 years in Switzerland and after arriving in the USA two year... | |
| Cables "Burn In" Absolutely true. I just this minute ordered another batch of LP's from HMV. After shutting the system down from this evenings music session, I should have been content. Instead, it made me want even more great software. Other than that it's a harm... | |
| Cables "Burn In" Josh, Unless there is something about the Power amp that is different than anything I have owned, the signal will pass from the pre and break in your cable, regardless if amp on or off.Yes this does make sense and (obviously) the answer would be d... | |
| System for a teenager Good suggestions, I am looking at Audiogon and other places on the internet for pricing. As to the question of budget. I am restricted to $1500.00 max. I assumed Vandys at about $400.00 (+) and $200.00 or $300.00 for DVD-CD. That only leaves $800.... | |
| System for a teenager I may have to do exactly as you suggest. Robert and his father had hoped for remote control. A player with volume was the only economical way I could think of to achieve that goal without exceeding budget. | |
| Replace Levinson 5-way binding post? Agree with TImo, and would like to add that TRT Wonder Solder is great sounding solder too. Either plated or un-plated Cardas should perform better than the original posts. I prefer un-plated and have installed them on every piece of equipment I o... | |
| Absorbtion or Diffusion with dipolar speakers??? Denf, I have my electrostatics pulled out about 6 feet from the back wall and still prefer diffusion treatment even at that distance. I use a knock off of the original RPG. Mine are buried in the wall with an acoustically transparent cloth cover s... | |
| Is 2 channel dead? You're at the wrong forum. This is Audiogon, what you want is 7speakergon, the sister site. (See link).http://osdn.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=408175/ut=41387cde4f89f847 | |
| Why no remote? Stenho, I've owned most of the preamps that are considered "ultimate" and borrowed a good many others. I could list and describe them in a email if you wish. I am so completely sold on both the Aesthetix Io and Callisto that I have stopped looking... | |
| Any photography experts out there? Use a single light such as daylight (or tungsten and proper camera settings), and use white cardboard to fill shadows and provide the reflections for your equipment. Nature provides only one light and often that is all that is required in product ... | |
| Why no remote? Aesthetix showed the new remote for the Callisto at CES in January. It may be ordered as an option for new preamps or retrofitted to previous production units. The remote consists of dual stepper motors and dual ribbed rubber drive belts, turning ... | |
| Garbage in - Garbage out? Pbb, I like it (re:)Why no one tests systems as a whole still baffles me, since no one yet has been able to listen to a power amplifier without a source on one end and speakers on the other. |
