| Best beer Heady Topper, it is impossible to get unless you go to Vermont. I think i would pay $10 per can if i could get it. | |
| Charge for TT setup? If you are paying full retail then free setup should be included. I guess i can see the logic of the dealer, he is taking the cart off your table and setting it up properly and testing will take a couple of hours. | |
| The best thing I've heard in awhile... Neil Young Live at the Cellar Door. | |
| Akai Speakers I had some nice Akai speakers, sw-157 and I have no idea what I did with them. I was in Wuxtry records in Athens, GA recently and they have the same model pumping out music all day. | |
| Looking for advice on these speakers The Devore Silverbacks can work well with SET although the O/96 may be the better option. I ran silverbacks with an LM218IA, 22W 845 SET which had plenty of drive and power. The current production silverbacks have a different crossover than those ... | |
| $5k Upgrade Thanks for the responses. I have a dedicated circuit with 6 GA wire and an upgraded outlet. I also have a BPT transformer but have found that with my current and previous amplifiers that the sound is better coming straight from the wall. I do put ... | |
| $5k Upgrade Thanks PHD, that's what I am trying to figure out and it is a challenge. I have no real issues with my system. I am fairly certain that if I moved up the Shindo pre-amp chain that it would yield improvements and the upper models have MM/MC phono i... | |
| Full-range recommendations I am a big fan of devore fidelity, a used pair of nines would work. | |
| Best EL34 reissue? I grabbed some local inexpensive EH EL34 to tide me over while my NOS tubes are being tested. After the break-in, they actually surprised me and sound very good. Not going to win over this crowd probably but still interesting none the less. | |
| VAC 300.1a Tube Rolling FWIW, I had a VAC avatar super integrated and found that the Genelex Gold Lion Reissue KT88 sounded the best all around. In that amp at least, there was a lot better in the top-end than the shuguang and and also was a bit better in the mid and bas... | |
| Audio Research Reference 3 Seeking help I would complain to ARC about this dealer, who would want to buy anything from such a person unwilling to help with a product he represents? | |
| Looking for a phono stage to go with my system Rogue Cronus might be good to look into, as well as jolida (no phono). | |
| Power tubes as drivers -- Line Magnetic Tbooe, I can see a little of the dealers perspective on this approach, these are very heavy amps to deal with taking in and out of systems. If you are worried about scratching your speakers, you can imagine his worry about having the amp messed up... | |
| Looking for a phono stage to go with my system Are you running the receiver as your amp and pre? If so I would wait and save for a good integrated with good phono. |
