| Wish List of LPs to be re-released I just got the Tull reissue of Thick As A Brick. Pretty expensive despite the discount. I dont know if its just my luck but the sonics in all the reissues have been pretty disappointing including Tull. The only reissue I have positively warmed to ... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... This may be out of sync in a Scotch whiskey thread but I highly recommend two Japanese single malts : the Yamazaki 12 and 18 years, the latter is outstanding as is the Hibekki 17 year old. A surprise for me was an Indian single malt Amrut fusion e... | |
| Tube pre/power combo for Rockport Aviors Hi JohnThanks for asking.Still breaking in. Been home for two weeks but no much listening time. The initial harshness in the treble has mellowed. I have owned ESLs for 8 years with the ML Odyessy and then the Quads and never thought I would go bac... | |

| In-the-Grove lp cleaner Hi DougGood to hear from you. You just devalued me and my currency by 300%!! LolPradeep | |
| In-the-Grove lp cleaner I just got this gizmo. My 2 paise worth. It's not a general purpose cleaner but IMHO extremely useful for a first time clean of brand new sealed and garage sale records . IME all new LPs have a fine layer of micro dust clearly visible with a LED o... | |
| Tube pre/power combo for Rockport Aviors RhynoMany thanks. I seem to be getting enough juice from my 70/80 wpc Conrad Johnson LP 70s with KT 120s. Not sure what a more powerful amp will achieve in my 23x14x 9 feet room. The system plays pretty loud as it is and the speakers are a long wa... | |

| Tube pre/power combo for Rockport Aviors Reached home at 2am on Sat after a long flight from JFK. At noon the Rockport Aviors arrived in 2 huge cartons. Really impressive packing.I have less than 8 hours on the Rockport Aviors. Initially was a wee bit underwhelmed , if not disappointed. ... | |
| Deliciously musical...Mytek DSD 192 DAC Kclone and DtcI had the local dealer set up a brand new M 51 in my system. The next day I called him agreeing to purchase the unit. The dealer and I are good friends. After day 4 , I told the dealer I was not entirely happy and he promptly took th... | |
| Deliciously musical...Mytek DSD 192 DAC NjsSure except the DSD Mahler Symphony 1 from Blue Coast records is USD 50 a pop ! Entirely agree that DSD sounds great but my experience is limited to a few free downloads. Hopefully HD Tracks will include DSD in its repertoire some day. The Myte... | |
| Tube pre/power combo for Rockport Aviors A quick update. Over the weekend I snagged a CJ GAT preamp on Agon. I believe it's a good deal and allows me to significantly improve on a sonic footprint that I love. The minor hassle is converting the GAT to 230v. My tech friend back home says t... | |
| Musical Fidelity VLink 192 to kw dm 25 dac NickevansI am sure that's a valid comment... not sure what it means...Have a great New Year | |
| Tube pre/power combo for Rockport Aviors Philb7777Congrats on your ARC gear. I have heard great things about the Ref 250 monos. Am pretty familiar with ARC. I had a vintage LSB2 pre and later a SP 16. I think there is more convergence than divergence between the latter CJ and ARC gear ei... | |
| 2 REL Strata Subs and Mono amps ZormiMy amp is a CJ LP 70S.Almarg is absolutely correct that the wiring scheme of red+ yellow in the neutrik speaker wires tied to the +(red) terminal of the amp's speaker binding posts and the black to the -(black) speaker post is the way to go i... |
