| Graham IC-50 -vs-IC-70 "shotgun" I agree with sirspeedy, I had the same result when I made the upgrade from the 30 to the 70. It is a superb phono cable. I never got the 50, as I am obsessive compulsive and knew that I would kick myself for getting the 50 when the 70 was out ther... | |
| 6550 to KT88 A-gon member Jfacker recently purchased some EI KT90s from me as well as some Gold Lion KT88s, found different strengths in the two types, and is using both sets depending on the music involved. If he doesn't post here you might want to contact hi... | |
| How do I keep my cats off my amplifier? I suppose you could re-wire the ground from your amp's power supply to electrify the chasis, but then you'd have problems turning the damned thing on and off! I like Sean's idea of the curved cover, a more humane way to do things.Gunbei, who in th... | |
| where to find Pachelbel"s canon? The "audiophile" version of this piece (which includes the Gigue that follows it and brings it out of the elevator to hell mentioned by our two friends who are sick of it (not without good reason)) would be the Reference Recordings Taffelmusik dis... | |
| BAT VK-xx owners: Where do you buy 6c33b tubes? That's a great price, but I would be a little careful. I have Lamm ML-1s which use those tubes, and recently have had problems with one of the amps which required the replacement of the tubes. One of the replacement tubes blew within a week. Appar... | |
| who lives where? Loose: Check out the Where Are U thread, you'll see where a lot of us are. I think they were trying to set a record for most posts with that thread, but the Preamp Deal of the Century thread seems to have an insurmountable lead!On the Unison Resea... | |
| Best rca digital cable for Audio Logic 24MXL dac? Sutts: Kubala-Sosna is the name of the company, they're building a pretty good dealer network, and make a very good line of cables--I've ordered the speaker cables and will likely get the interconnects for some of my components. Link is www.kubala... | |
| Best rca digital cable for Audio Logic 24MXL dac? I've found both the Siltech Golden Ridge and the Purist Proteus work nicely with my AL, as well as the limited edition K-Works digital cable (he's not making many of them). However, you might want to wait for the Kubala-Sosna digital cable to come... | |
| Favorite SACD's All of Fischer's Philips recordings are good--his Dvorak 8 and 9 are excellent. Springbok, that Beethoven 6 even sounded superb on CD, I think it's probably Walter and the music as much as an extraordinarily minimalist (ESPECIALLY for CBS) recordi... | |
| sacd,vinyl, and rebook.... I'm going to stay out of this for the most part (I've made my feelings known on other threads like this) except to correct a misstatement by Loon above which I think is misleading. The Stereophile article pointed out that the Norah Jones SACD was ... | |
| Dunlavy SC-V and Accuphase I would imagine it depends on the music you listen to and the volume levels. I haven't heard it on Dunlavys, but I've heard that amp at my dealer's driving the Dynaudio Temptations with ease. You may not get the last decibels on orchestral climaxe... | |
| Krell KSA 50 vs. todays ss amps? I traded in my KSA 50 for an 80; the 80 indeed did have more power, was more refined (once it warmed up) though not quite as sweet in the highs, had better bass quality and control, and generally was a better amp. Big problem with the KSA 50 was t... | |
| Kimber vs Transparent Since you can try them both out, that will make your decision a lot easier. While I like the Kimber cables quite a bit, I do note that most of my friends with Levinson equipment use Transparent cabling. | |
| Krell KSA 50 vs. todays ss amps? Not sure if you're talking about the original KSA50 (and 50Mk II, which I owned for a while) or the 50S, which Dave sent the links about. I must say the old KSA 50 was a very nice amp, quite sweet sounding for a solid state design, with far more p... | |
| Preamp with near-reference quality built in phono? Rushton's suggestions are good ones. I would add the Jadis JP80MC and JP200MC (which you can get used for about $10K) to the list, their phono stages are top-notch, although with 2 and 4 chasis you might have space concerns. Superbly musical piece... |
