| Bookshelf Speakers with the decent bass Check out Ascend's Sierra-1 monitors. Sierra-2's don't go as low. | |
| 6922 tube selection I've purchased NOS tubes with success from tctubes, Upscale and Andy's Vintage tube services. Some tubes I've needed that aren't that easy to find (6350 and 6C33C-B) I've purchased off ebay and audiogon. For those, 've sent them to tctubes for tes... | |
| How are Crimson cables I first heard about them when I asked about cables from my dealer when buying my speakers and preamp. He loaned me a pair to try out and threw in some of their ICs too. I compared them over the weekend against some Kimber 12TC (which i had pretty ... | |
| Are these guys crazy? NYC Turntable Lab has been around for a long time. The LA store on Fairfax did shutter a few years ago though. | |
| Any reviews/impressionsons of Ascend Sierra 2? I run mine in an office and they sound fine. | |
| Exposure 3010 w/ tube preamp or hybrid integrated? I ended up jumping on a used Manley Shrimp that popped up here yesterday morning. Manley can retrofit it with a remote so I'll be set. Thanks for the tips, everyone! | |

| Which of these 4 Phono Pre you'dl choose? update: i was able to get a new battery pack for the Novo Phonomena through a dealer. all is well with that phonostage now! | |
| Cat 6 speaker wire. Gem in the rough. Crimson Audio speaker cables are made by a company that makes Cat6 cable. They are very close in design, from what I've been told. | |
| Soundstage - when wide is too wide Agreed. I'm excited to try this at home tonight!!! | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? Wharfedales. even the Diamond series handle metal just fine. | |
| Honest Vintage Tube Repair - SoCal George Meyer AV in Santa Monica CA works on a TON of Mcintosh gear. they restore and sell them. Be sure to speak with Morris but fair warning there is a long wait for their services. | |
| New Variac for Joule Electra Amps The Joule variacs are indeed custom applications. When I looked at aftermarket variacs it became apparent that nothing would work "off the shelf". Fair warning: The Service Dept (CT) may have quoted you 10 weeks but a VZN-80 I sent in for repair t... | |
| Do you always keep the Amplifier powered on +1 Schubert. Kijanski the analogy doesn't hold. If I told you my tap water tasted optimal only after leaving it running for hours, I'd be vilified and probably (and rightly) reported to the city of LA. Personally, I don't want to waste the tubes i... |
