PrimaLuna ProLogue One versus Two
Plinko,I agree with your comments on the Mullard CV4004. Definately more resolution and less fuzzy sounding. More recessed soundstage compared to the stock Chinese tubes( also very good) or the Ei Ecc-83 Gray plates I tried. More punchy, deeper ba... 
What's your dirty little secret?
Every now and again, I will pull out my 1976 LP of Gene Cotton "Rain on"..this one for memory lane. 
North Creek B&W 801 crossovers? Tried them?
I see what you mean on the re-matching the new plate. You could do that..but remember you have 6 posts now instead of the 4. It may be a very tight fit. I love the MR77. I also owned a MR71 several years back. My dad is a mac lover, and has his or... 
North Creek B&W 801 crossovers? Tried them?
If you can use the new plate in the stock hole, then you will be able to close up the bottom. That bottom plate when on.. may still allow you to run the wiring out the side even if you cant use the newer plate in the old plate hole. I think the pl... 
North Creek B&W 801 crossovers? Tried them?
Bob,You can indeed do this. To start, you turn the speaker on one side and work from underneath the speaker. If you have the soundanchor stands mounted to the speaker...they must be removed including the base that attaches to the 801 itself. A lar... 
North Creek B&W 801 crossovers? Tried them?
Hi Bob,I think I understand your question and will try to answer.First...The "internal wiring" that Tab and I are were conversing about is all the wiring that runs1) from the woofer wire on the crossover up into the cabinet and connects to the woo... 
tube amp info
I agree with the above posts also. Do give you tube amps time to warm up. You dont want to start palying music through a amp just turned on as you risk tube damage by stripping the anode (plate)/ within the tube. Give about 5-10 mins at least.--Ken 
CD player for my system?
Readster-- sorry to be so long in answering your quest.Yes, I tried the EH 12AX7's in the jolida.Also the Ei Elite gold pins. Both were more bright sounding than the stock tubes that Jolida supplied. These were the least favorite to my ears of all... 
Jazz Recommendations.
Newbee's list is right up my alley and would be a very good start to the classic Jazz set.Brubeck/Grusin imparticular. There's no telling what someone "gets" until they hear it for themselves of course. Ive been listening to the smooth jazz/ conte... 
Does anyone like vintage speakers?
The Stage's were my very first real hi end speaker. I purchased the demo pair with bases, on Long Island back in 1990. Kept them for about 6 years and sent them to my Dad..who kept them 4 years before he sold them. Although, I "upgraded" to the Ma... 
Jolida CDP question
Chazz..Its all good! yeah, your probably right. Everyone has a different story to tell thats for sure. It does get old after awhile. We should just stay off the damn computer and enjoy our systems! But now Im looking for a SET integrated to try th... 
Jolida CDP question
Interesting opinion Chazz...but the horse DOES go before the cart! ;-) 
Cartridge advice needed, dynavector 20xh now what?
Slowhand is spot on with his assesment of the sound of the ZYX. Utterly neutral and very musical. I know the Dyna 20XH sound well and the ZYX is miles ahead here.I really like my ZYX Fuji on my Aries 2. I can heartily recommend this one. Mehran ca... 
What do you think of my 25 laws of audio
My experience's have shown just the opposite of most of your Laws of audio.... In fact the smaller, more simple systems sound better.About the only one I agree with is #9. Thats very true indeed. 
Jolida CDP question
Sfrounds,Your most welcome. Hope all works out in the end. Ive heard the Eros Hybrids at my local dealer some years back. One of the most neutral and pleasing speakers I had heard to date. They were run with Clayton 100 Monos.BTW...The ATSI number...
