| Widespread Panic - Their best album? "Space Wrangler" is my favorite all-around album. I've seen them live ~8 times over the last 10-12 years. First time I saw them live was in 1995 in the aftermath Hurricane Roxanne somewhere in New Orleans. Somewhere in the midst of a drunken blur ... | |

| DIY 300b SET monoblock Jadem6...bi-amping with SET and the Plinius would allow you to enjoy the benefits of single-ended midrange/highs for all music instead of just small scale acoustic and vocals. Rock and classical would still be just as dynamic and powerful with the... | |
| DIY 300b SET monoblock Aaah Jadem6, I'm an insufferable scifi-techno dweeb. So, my moniker is cross between "Dr. Morbius" from the 1956 movie "Forbidden Planet" and the famous mathematical model Mobius Strip made famous in MC Escher illustrations. Add a heavy dash of ad... | |
| DIY 300b SET monoblock Jamem6,My only major suggestion forthe Walton amp is that you start out with much better output transformers and chokes, they will have the biggest effect on sound and will provide a solid foundation for future upgrades to be revealed.Magnequest m... | |

| Efficient full range floorstanders to match SET Since space is at a premium for you, I'd give Miklorsmith's suggest of Zu Druids serious consideration. They are the most compact floorstander (depthwise) I have ever seen - ~8" deep. And the company allows 60 day in-home trials with a full money-... | |
| Efficient full range floorstanders to match SET Hi David12,Do you have any acoustic room treatents?Sorry to mention this if you already know, but a perfectly square room(20'x20') is about the worst acoustic environment possible under any circumstances. As great as the sound you've gotten used t... | |
| turntable repair shops in los angeles? One of the greatest turntable technicians in the United States, Brooks Berdan, has a shop in Monrovia. There's nary a TT in the world he hasn't laid hands on(joking).Hell, it's worth the trip just to see his Analog Museum which has literally hundr... | |
| Does one NEED multiple amps? Sns,Try some of the new low(ish) power PP designs like Audiotropic's Musical Machine. Poindexter also provides for schematics and parts list for a DIY version of it.This PP amp is so unique in it's presentation that it defies classification. Power... | |
| Does one NEED multiple amps? I posted that quote from Terry Cain (whose speakers I own). Oddly, at the time he posted that humorous blurb on AA, I owned only one amp thought he was joking (which he half was). Now, I own four or five depending on the week.My experiences have b... | |
| Scoutmaster with Lyra cartridge? I spent and afternoon (~4+ hours) listening to the Dorian on a Scoutmaster in Brooks Berdan's front showroom. It was surprisingly smooth and refined, in that setup. No apparent errors in the wide range of music we listened to. The only bugaboo I h... | |
| Schroeder model 2 or Morch DP6? The Teres Audio site lists the DP-6 w/ 9" arm at ~$1,500 and ~$1,700 w/ the 12" wand. So, that's a significant price differently between your choices - not exactly apples to apples, if you know what I mean.Unfortunately, I've never heard a either ... | |
| Audion Sterling MKI Integrated tube Good job, the Stering will be a terrific introduction to low(ish) powered SET's. Check and see if your unit can also run EL-34's and KT-88's. That's a cheap way to have three totally different amps in one package. BTW, your system is incredible. S... | |
