| Doors remasters vs. DCC golds I guess I must be one of those die hard fans. I have the first Doors CDs released in the 1980's,, the first batch of remasters, German, Japan, Russian issues, DCC and of course the Doors Box with all the studio albums in HDCD.(Please don't even as... | |
| Best Tonearm Cable Under 600.00 I would take a serious look at the Hovland Music Groove 11, it retails for 795.00 but you should be able to find one used in your price range. They aren't much to look at but I find it one of the best phono cables available. Good luck. | |
| What's everybody listening to this evening? I am listening to Wayne Hancock's "Thunderstorm and Neon Signs". The best Hank Williams clone to come around in a long time. | |
| What is the best Beatle Song It's only love from the American Rubber Soul album always does it for me. | |
| Single brand vs. multiple brand ICs and ACs It has been my experience that cable companies excel at certain cables more than others. For instance,Hovland makes an excellent phono cable(Music Groove), it is hard to beat the Illuminati digital cable, top of the line Discovery speaker and inne... | |

| Red dawn vs SPM I have both Red Dawn and SPM in my system, they are more alike than different. The SPM are a more detailed cable but the Red Dawn is quite good. I have the Red Dawn Rev 11 speaker cable and when I spoke with Nordost than said the Rev 11 is probabl... | |
| Need a good "under carpet" speaker cable I would look at the Nordost line of cables, they make excellent cables at all price points. Good luck. | |
| Speakers for 50W Triode tube amp I had the Cary 805 monoblocks(50 watts) and they drove VonSchweihert VR4s and VR5s without dificulity. Good luck. | |
| Difference between JRDG Synergy II and Synergy IIi The difference between the Synergy 11 and 11i is an amplification board that according to Jeff Rowland lowers noise and distortion . One of the ways you can tell if you have the 11i is the display is green. I have only heard the battery pack on th... | |
| what are the best couple of cassandra wilson cd's I have her complete catalog and they are all very good. Her earlier albums are more straight forward jazz vocals while the last 3 have been more middle of the road jazz. Her current album Belly of the Sun is somewhat of a departure with roots blue... | |
| Marsh or McCormack I have own the McCormack DNA 225 amp, it is an excellent ss design from a well established company(currently owned by Conrad and Johnson). Build quality is excellent with quality parts. I haven't heard the Marsh amps but they have received excelle... | |
| Counterfit Telefunken Tube? It is my understanding that later day Telefunkens don't have the diamond on the base. A few years ago I bought 4 from a very reputable dealer and they didn't have the diamonds and thats what I was told. | |
| Is e-mail system working? I have used Audiogon to e-mail 2 sellers in the last few days and so far neither one has responded. Either a problem with e-mail or the sellers just didn't respond in a timely manner. |
