anyone heard the v.3 Paradigm Studio yet?
I listened to them for a little while.They sound pretty good.If you are already a Paradigm fan you will love them.I don't think they will sound too good inside of a bookshelf. Even being front ported they need some room to breath in order to sound... 
I'm trying Shanling SP-80 monoblocs at home...
Hello guys I just got one of those Dared SL-2000a tube preamps..thought I would give one a try. I have been hearing some good things about this gear.Very sweet preamp and for the price perfomance ratio ,I haven't heard anything that was better for... 
Bookshelf vs. Floorstand
Doodleboy ..I would go with the Grand Piano over the other two floorstanders you have mentioned.I am not a big fan of metal dome tweeters and prefer the sound of a good silk dome tweeter any day! I was auditioning the Sonus just the other day..nic... 
Best speakers for low power tube amp
Soliloquy,Silverline,Coincident and Equation 25s all are excellent with low powered tubes! 
Another Time and Phase thread
That's cool Bigtee ...just like some believe in ported,nonported,TL and everything in between.I know about the other thread just found another person with a different perspective .Just wanted to know what others think about his claims. 
Interconnect suggestion? Nordost/Kimber/AudioQuest
Try some Acoustic Research balance directional interconnects from Best Buys for $13.00 before tax! I tried these and found they compete well with cables many times their price.I'am still scratching my head trying to figure out why these cables are... 
good speakers matches for jolida 302b
The level at which you listen to music will be a factor in how far you need the Sols from the rear wall.If not at ear bleeding levels the Sols do fine 24 inches from the rear wall and maybe less depending on your listening habits.I have 6.3s 24 in... 
What would you choose among these to amp?
Maybe you need to go back to the drawing board on that one!Not trying to be funny but there's plenty of other products to consider.I'am with SoGood and jahaira on that!Good Luck! 
good speakers matches for jolida 302b
I second the Soliloquy 5.3s!I have heard them on a setup similiar to yours.The combo for the money will be hard to beat.Good Luck! 
Dynaco owners please comment
Elgordo I will add them to my list of ampifiers to snatch up when I see a good deal!! At the price these amplifiers go for they are an absolute steal! It makes one feel foolish for spending thousands to get this kind of sound quality. 
Dynaco owners please comment
Update...Pbowne I was doing a cleaning on the unit and found the Jensen Stereo Shop logo.So it is a modified version.This Frank Van Alstine is the man!Looks like it is a 120A series C..whatever that means. 
Dynaco owners please comment
Thanks guys for all the info.This maybe a modified version..I'am not sure.If so who ever modified it.. did one hell of a job.If I have learned one thing it's specs have nothing to do with how well a peice of audio equipment will sound.It's the qui... 
Vandersteen 1C or Meadowlark Kestrels?
Meadowlarks or Soliloquy 5.0s! 
What speakers would match well to my tube system?
The Equation 25s should work well with your amp! There's a pair on audiogon for 2900.00 right now!These speakers don't even have Xovers and throw a huge soundstage.They stand almost 6 ft tall and use a ceramic tweeter and a 8 inch metal driver.The... 
Soliloquy 5.3 vs. 6.2 vs. 6.3
Hi Crazyforblues,I have no experience with the Aleph 30.But I have no doubt it would be a great match with either.It depends on what your looking for.The 6.3s would have a bit more weight and impact on the music.The sound is a little fuller with t...
