| New Jersey (Southern) Club? P mmk: I was going to e-mail you separately, but figured if others are interested they might as well see it here. Our club meets monthly, generally the 3rd Sunday of the month, usually at members' homes (it's always fun to hear a member's system a... | |
| Tube pre amp with 2 outputs for Biamping The Jadis JP80 and, I believe, the JPL have two outputs. They can be "reasonable" (at least the JPL) in the used market. | |
| Which very dynamic speakers would you recommend? The Paradigms are an excellent choice. For the types of music you like you might want to give the less expensive Alons an audition as well; very open sounding and dynamic. | |
| New Jersey (Southern) Club? You know, we NJAS folks up north actually do have a lot of meetings as far south as Bordentown and Brick, so that's somewhat closer to you than you may have realized. Still, I know it is a hike, and the far southern part of the state could use a g... | |
| Tables with no belt change for 45's and 33's? The new Basis tables (or at least my upgraded Ovation) have a dual pulley on the motor, so you just move the belt to a different grove without having to take anything apart or fumble around; I seem to recall my Well-Tempered having the same arrang... | |
| good tube tester B&K 707 is a good one, although it'll run slightly more than the $100 you mentioned. One thing to watch out for, I've been told, is that if you get a tester that handles both the output and input tubes, you want to get a tester that won't put ... | |
| Alon triwire cable Not sure what your amplification is, but you might investigate the Innersound speaker cable, which seems to be quite good from the reports I've heard and is quite cheap. I'm curious, what's the problem with the Black Orpheus? | |
| What are the 5 most overrated rock albums? Thank you Waltersalas, for including the Beatles' White Album--way too uneven for me. They could have made it one disk and had a great album. I don't agree that Sgt. Pepper is overrated, but must admit the Beatles' albums that preceded it were muc... | |
| Does anyone have feedback on the TERK Pro antenena The problem with the Terk and simlar antennas is that they amplify the garbage as well as the signal, at least in my experience. The Magnum silver ribbon antenna I replaced the Terk with was far superior, and the outdoor antenna I got left anythin... | |
| Mods : Fools Gold or the Real Thing Given what I've seen on AA relating to the superclock mods for the Sony SACD players and the sonic differences I've heard between well-made and flimsy transports, I'd say mods are the real deal. Remember that essentially everything you can buy ret... | |
| 12ax7's Much more transparent and dynamic in my JP80 and JA80s than the standard 12AX7s, as well. Obscenely expensive and very rare, but when you want that last bit of refinement they do deliver the goods. Fortunately you get much of their performance fro... | |
| 12ax7's I agree with Fletchj and Detlof, it really depends on your taste and the circuit it's used in. The best 12AX7s I've found for my taste in Jadis equipment have been Telefunkens, and the best Tele's I've ever used are their premium E803CCs. Much qui... | |
| Best Liszt's Sonata in B? While everyone has their favorite interpretations, my favorite, both sonically and interpretively, is Minoru Nojima's recording for Reference Recordings (Nojima Plays Liszt). Absolutely superb, demontration class recording-- and the playing leaves... | |
| Wedding Music - Recommendations for Program I second the Bishop's suggestions (as husband of a minister, I've been to a lot of weddings myself), both as to what to have and what not. The Handel Entrance of the Queen of Sheeba is a great recessional piece, although I don't know if there's a ... | |
| So WHERE do you go to buy a Shure V15 Cartridge ? Further to my last post, they do carry the current version of the V15 cartridge, and their price is too low to advertize, so you can e-mail them for a quote. Search under "jandr", you'll find them. Good luck, it's always been among the best MM car... |
