| Why do Cyrus get such praise from What HiFi??? What HiFi is obviously pimping for Cyrus! Whenever I bought my monthly copy of Hi Fi News at B&N I would glance through What HiFi and pass on it! | |
| In search of Audible Nirvana, on a budget. How about a Precision Fidelity C2 tube preamp! Designed by the esteemed Bruce Moore of Paragon & Audible Illusions fame.I owned the C7 phono stage only version. And it was indeed a KILLER unit! I wish I still had it! | |
| Vintage Amps for Thiel 1.5 Think about adding a sub because that small woofer just can't move enough air! | |
| Vintage Amps for Thiel 1.5 If you can find a working Bryston 3B for $500 - buy it! I have one (and that's what I paid for mine from the original owner). An excellent choice for ANY Thiels! | |

| Suggestions for a dedicated rock system For ROCK nothing better than vintage Altecs and JBL's!!! | |
| Suggestions for a dedicated rock system How about a pair of vintage JBL 166 Horizon's paired with a First Watt F5 class A amp! I own this setup (Tim Rawson F5 clone) and it indeed K*CKS A**!!! | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64x Yes indeed! I am a fan of FR arms and cartridges. Have owned several FR1 mk3F's and a MC201. Presently have two of the older arms: FR28 and FR54. All high-quality products! | |

| Best amp/ IC's to go with my Thiel 2.4SB's Buy the Ayre V-5Xe and K-5e. This is what you have tried and are familiar with your Thiel's! Excellent amplification! Keep the K-5e stock (it is already a superb preamp!). Regarding IC's: contact HCM and see if they have any left of the AQ Silver ... | |
| Who Makes Class AB, DC design Here's a TRUE giant killer: Spread Spectrum Technology Ampzilla 2000 Mono's! The last and final design by the great designer James Bongiorno. I'd put these up against ANY $20K - 100K amps! Read the review in Sensible Sound! | |
| Modern audiophile records Pallbearer: The Foundations OF Burden (Profound Lore 2014) and its successor: Heartless (Profound Lore 2017) This is the best prog - doom - metal available today! Think Sabbath for the 21th century! I have Burden on a double L... | |
| What's your investment threshold? My last cable purchase was a set of five Audio Quest Silver Extremes for $500. HCM had them as a new "close out" for 25% of list (list price was $400 each!). Sounds fine to my "golden" ears! | |
| Tower Records I bought many CD's at the Stamford, CT Tower! They carried an amazing collection of silver discs: everything from classical to jazz and rock! Tower will be missed! I personally like going to a store for music shopping! | |
| Brand new to vinyl: Help! Also, the 1978 Columbia pressing of Floyd's The Wall makes a fine reference LP! |
