| Upgrade from Spica TC-60's. I second the vote for REL subwoofer, Srata III. I set mine up 6 months ago, took a couple of hours to 'dial' in, have only made three or four adjustments since. The Spica TC60 is a music lover's speaker - keep them. | |
| Joule Electra LA 150 Does the LA150 have remote control? What tubes does it use?What does it sell for and can anyone recommend a good dealer? Thanks, people. | |
| Finally Defined My Requirements. Recommendations? I'm not able to quote the model numbers for both Joule and VAC pre-amps but I've heard samples of both aboout 2-4 yrs ago. very nice and musical sounding. The Joule was the better looking of the two, can't say I enjoyed either more than the other.... | |
| Finally Defined My Requirements. Recommendations? Good luck getting a response from Supratek. I've e-mailed three times over a two month period - no response. Not a good sign or maybe he's just too busy now to take on any new orders.Also, according to a recent buyer I just spoke w/ (through e-mai... | |
| Anyone had experince with J J Electronics? The J J Electronics company I'm talking about is the Slovakian tube amp and pre-amp manufacturer, not the superstore by same name in, I think, New York. Check out the ad in Tube Pre-amps. Beautiful stuff but I know nothing about the unit. | |
| Looking to upgrade from receiver Don't forget Musical Fidelity, Creek, Arcam who all make good integrateds. If you are willing to try tubes (and what a wonderful adventure you could embark upon!) the ARC is a good idea along with Mesa Engineering Trigris(sp?). Good luck and let u... | |

| First 2a3 system I second the Wright Sound advice. And also check out Omega speakers - quite efficient with a very easy impedance curve. | |
| Hendrix blues In 1971 I bought an import LP entiled "Hendrix in the West". It was a live album and had a 15 minute version of Red House Blues that was some of the best Hendrix imaginable. As I remember the sound quality was quite good, too. I've checked Amazon,... | |
| Very tube-friendly monitor speakers? The size of your room really matters here. I have an 8 wt 300B Air Tight amp and a 11 x 13.5 room. Use 86db efficient ProAc 2.5s. Works quite well but I would like to find something at 90db which would effectively double the output of my amp. Agai... | |
| Looking to make a change, need advice Why change what works? Why try to fix something that isn't broken? Etc. I would (if happy with my system) spend the money on new music software. There are so many fine remasterings of great performances (jazz, classical, rock, etc.) available toda... | |
| Jethro Tull recent Remasters vs Mobile Fidelity? The Tull remasters are in any good record store which most likely includes Borders & Barnes and Noble. | |
| Words from the Wise -Part 2 Be careful of that foot tapping thing. This sometimes is caused by strange frequency and dynamics anomalies which lend a sort of rythmic monotony to the music. I think some Linn equipment has this designed in. Anyway, I use one major criterium for... | |
| I close my eyes It's called sense isolation. The fewer inputs to four of your senses, the greater the efficiency and power of your remaining sense. I think most "audiophiles" have been listening like this since the beginning. Thirty plus years ago my friends and ... | |
| Which is a reliable CD changer? I've had a Marantz 4000OSE for just over two years (used with Perp Tech P-1A and P-3A) and it has worked flawlessly. I tried three other multi-disc players (Sony ES, Onkyo, and Parasound) and the Marantz sounded best by itself and is the most ergo... |
