| Best phono pre-amp Obviously I am going to recommend Aesthetix, since that is what I settled on after much listening and testing. The new Signature version with dual supplies and fitted with NOS tubes (in my opinion), is the best there is. | |
| transport w best detail retrieval and 'weight' Good question, perhaps there are people bringing them into the county to meet the continuing demand and making a few dollars in the process. Wish I could justify buying an Audio Note and CEC transport so I could describe it's performance first han... | |
| any one know about Amperex el34 fatboy tubes They are frequently for sale at EBAY. I like them but ultimately prefer the Mullard EL 34, XF2 (with British mfg. code). | |
| Desperately Seeking.......at whatever cost........ I just found you an LP copy for $3.00, here is the link:http://www9.gemm.com/c/search.pl?sid=303020136&key=61328&disp_ad_format_mode=0&artist=GOMM%2CIAN&title=GOMM+WITH+THE+WINDYou may also search this site for other formats. | |
| transport w best detail retrieval and 'weight' The CEC-TL1 belt drive is magic with your converter. I know and respect several people with that exact combination. | |
| What's under YOUR CD player? Symposium Roller Bearings on top of a Purist Audio Isolation shelf. I agree with Tsrart about replacing the power cord on the Sony 9000. I got a big improvement swapping mine too. | |
| How do you store a whole lotta LP's? I designed and had built, a wall of bookshelves that run fully floor to ceiling along a section of the wall in our living room.This will accommodate my VPI machine (on roll out shelf), along with several thousand LP's, part of my audio gear and ev... | |
| Isolation Passive/Active??? The Vibraplane is commonly used for microscopes and in the audio world. They have both active air and passive air models (with and without pump). They are expensive at around $4000.00, but are highly effective at isolating components. | |
| Vintage Tuner Comments That is remarkable Viridian. I owned a Fisher 1000 a few years ago, compared it to Magnum Dynalab, Yamaha CT 7000. PSE Studio 3 and Marantz 10B. I am still more impressed with that Fisher than anything I have heard before or since.If FM had not go... | |
| How should I set up my system? Yours don't have strings? | |
| Best upgrade ever: cryo outlet for my refrigerator What you are hearing is part of what you get by using one breaker and dedicated line for each component in the system. This is exactly why I have 14 dedicated breakers. The cost to have dedicated wiring (assuming you own the place) is reasonable, ... | |
| Stylus cleaning: tools, fluids, techniques? Record Research fluid is distributed by the same people that import the Benz, Clear Audio and Koetsu cartridge lines. I seriously doubt they sell a product that puts all these cartridges in harms way. | |
| The Recording Producer Depends on the engineer and the artist they are working with. Digital artists like Bjork leave less room for the engineer / producer to effect the end results. By contrast, recent American Records sessions of Johnny Cash are almost as elegantly en... | |
| Bybee quantum filters for speakers Perhaps these work as well as the Walker HDL's. I get similar results (even) with high end speakers and high end wire. Perhaps they're similar concepts, delivered by two different companies. | |
| The Crazy World of Arthur Brown Richard Pryor did the flaming bit too but I don't think it was on purpose. |
