TAD Rocks Big Time
It is a sad day. The world has lost Paul Grzybek. He died on March 20, 2012. Paul was always jovial, always there for me via email whenever I had any questions. His design talents were first rate. His Fisher restorations were astounding. He will b... 
Alon II Mark II
OMG, PLEASE do NOT do that to those wonderful speakers. Please, others, chime in. That's a hideous act. Alon/Nola speakers (are any well designed speakers?) are not designed to work inside a cabinet. The open baffle design requires open space, pre... 
Solid Silver rca's for tube amps
Shindo Labs' own ICs are silver and all their amps and preamps are tube. Highly recommended. Look into Clear Day Cables as well, they manufacture solid core silver ICs and they are affordable. Cleardaycables.com

Need preamp recommendation
A recommendation is the Shindo Aurieges L (line only version) or the MM (with phono version). Pratically noise-less, even through 104 db/w/m speakers, so your 93 db sensitivity speakers should have no problems. I have seen used one here on the 'go... 
Subwoofer Set up Question
For a system without a 2 output preamp, is the only way to hook up a sub by plugging the preamp outputs into the sub via long RCA interconnects, then connect speaker wires from the sub outs to the main speakers? Does the signal coming out from the... 
CDP Upgrade: Around 2k Used
Droplet, no doubt. 
Consonance Droplet CDP owners
Wow, it is amazing to me that three users of this player had found it such a poor machine. Makes me wonder if something else in their systems was the cause of the bad sound they heard. If anyone is getting "a restricted soundstage and a mechanical...
