GMA Callisto vs. Reference 3a De Capo i
OK, I'm chiming in a bit late on this thread (two years, in fact!) but I have a couple very relevant points to make. To help explain the contradictory comments posted in this thread about the de Capo's high frequency performance, I say this:1. Whe... 
Best 6sn7 for a Magnum Rogue 99?
The American made 6sn7 VT-231 (as opposed to the GT or GTB) from the early 40s is the best sounding 6sn7 ever produced. The Kenrad and Sylvania are two of the best VT-231. Beware that the Sylvania is prone to microphonics however. I don't know wha... 
phono preamp
oops!I should have read your post more closely. The Electrocompaniet is strictly a phono stage and has no volume control. It is fantastic none the less. 
phono preamp
I don't know which cartridge you intend to use but beware of using a tube phono stage with a low gain cartridge. Noise could easily become a problem. The Electrocompaniet ECP1 is a fantastic $1000 solid state phono preamp that very few people seem... 
AC Power cords, which components 1st...?
I disagree with Brtritch. One need not have a class A system in order to appreciate the addition of a top flight pc. Of course, placing a $1000 cable on a $500 component doesn't make much sense either. Having said that, I have heard expensive pc's... 
Would like your recommendations for sub. cable?
OK, I'll take the bait. What is your method of speaker placement, for both main speaker and subwoofer? 
Innersound ESL amplifier - good choice?
Hi Phil,You mention that Innersound sounds anemic, pure and neutral, despite the use of your tube preamp. Part of the reason is due to the inherent sound of the Innersound but I also believe the Blue Heavens magnifies a few of the Innersound's wea... 
Innersound ESL amplifier - good choice?
Phil,Your friend, Brian Miller, asked me to add a few comments here in hopes that I could shed some light on the Innersound amp.As an Innersound dealer, I have had the opportunity to compare the ESL with a number of very fine ampliefiers, using ES... 
Help w/ amp for ML Requests
Rgodin, you have your facts wrong. Although Coda does in fact manufacture the Innersound electronics, Roger Sanders of Innersound is the designer. The Coda uses different parts has a very different circuit design. The Innersound amp is designed wi... 
Why are EMC-1 s being dumped on market?
Electrocompaniet is much too small of a company and too low key to supply other manufacturers with $4000 CD players. Also, the stakes are too high at a high profile show like the Home Entertainment Show or CES to use a mediocre source. Rest assure... 
Worst speakers at Stereophile show
Hi Doug. I just read your comments about the Silverline Sonata with great interest. I am a Silverline dealer and am listening to a pair of Sonatas as I write this. At $6000, the Sonata is one of the very best values in loudspeakers today. They are...
