| My "Most Under-Appreciated Album": Cheri Knight Bigswede thanks for the tip, not quite my cup o tea but I did buy a Talk Talk CD Laughing Stock (only because it was $3 cheaper than Spirit of Eden) thanks to Tbromgard!I love finding new music on Agon Thanks guys!Portland Cello Project is my late... | |
| Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's? I have heard Watt Puppy's with Jadis tube gear and it was amazing. My friend had WP as well with all ss and I did not like it nearly as much (though pretty darn good but VERY fickle)I know my experience is with the WP not Sophia 2 but I hope this ... | |
| More of a Tube Sound In a Tube CD player frankly i think mixing tubes and ss gets you just a bit of what each have to offer. better off going all ss or tubes imoalso fwiw i find Audio Note to be musical/neutral as opposed to 'tubey' | |
| Harbeth HL5 vs Magnepan 1.6qr Who wins?? Tpreaves I had the 1.6 with a cheaper Musical Fidelity amp and it sounded pretty good but I guess the point I was making is that they need more power than most speakers and that power comes at a price. Part of it for me is that I like tube amps an... | |

| Best path to test different interconnects? I know what you mean but do not know the 'answer'I suggest hook them up and try to forget about them for a few weeks and the sonic signature will present itself. | |
| dedicated cd player or dvd-cd I love my Muse model 9 sig3 DVD and CD both sound amazing and the picture is superb. You could probably pick one up for under $1000. | |
| Tube Integragrated w/ Phono what speakers and how much can you spend?I like Audio Note, any integrated they sell is quite good | |
| Passive sub for Magnepan 3.6r? I wonder what amp you are using Loomis? Throw a ton of current at the Maggies and then listen to the bass. Also pull them out from the back wall about 7ft (no kidding) the bass integrate with the midrange so much better. | |
| My speakers sound like crap with Arcam Amp? it just shows to go you - system matching is everything - in my book at least this is one thing I have learned... | |
