best intergrated for vandersteen 2ce sig.
I used a Rogue Audio Tempest Magnum with Vandersteen 2CE's and the sound was very good. The Rogue has excellent bass control. While the treble on the Rogue can be a little bright with the wrong speakers, they are actually a very good match for the... 
Need a Recommendation for Classical Cello...
Yo-Yo Ma has an album called "Solo," which features only works for unaccompanied cello. However, the selections include composers like Kodaly and Sheng, which might not be what you are looking for. Nonetheless, it's an option, and you might find s... 
upgrade advice for budget-minded beginner
Ethan--The Onix is not cheap, Chinese crap, at least not any more so than the dozens of other well regarded companies that have their manufacturing done overseas. Onix used to be a very well regarded British outfit, and made some really great gear... 
upgrade advice for budget-minded beginner
ethan--i believe the onix cd player you are considering is mechanically the same as the music hall cd-25. i can tell you from my own experience that the gear put out by onix is really excellent. if you are concerned about budget, the onix solid st... 
speaker advice' help needed
vandersteen is a very good match with the jolida. you could get a used pair of 2ce's (maybe even signatures) for ~$1000. the combo would be great for orchestral music (i'm a big classical music listener myself).i've used gma europa's with a 502a, ...

Tubes for Jolida 1501 hybrid integrated
i had very good results with 5751's in place of 12ax7's. 5751's used to be a good bit cheaper, too, but i think that has changed.good luck,eric 
hilary hahn..violinist
Interesting thread... I'm not so sure that Hahn is so young that she will develop appreciably in the next ten years. Even of the many other violinists mentioned (Bell, Shaham, Midori, to name just a few), much of their best work was done before th... 
Integrated Amp with HT Passthru 1-2k
I think you can get a Rogue Tempest Magnum in that price range, and believe it is available with an HT pass through. If you don't mind tubes, the Tempest does quite a lot of things very well.Alternatively, I think the Plinius line of integrated am... 
Looking for an acoustic guitar recording..
here's another vote for leo kottke. really amazing what that man can do with a guitar. 
I need help from GMA Europa owners
Richs--I used to own the Europa's, and would agree that the highs were not the most extended I had heard. Fantastic all-around speakers, though.I used to have Virtual Dynamics Audition cables. While the Nite series is several steps up from the Aud... 
Replacing Vandy 2CEs w/ Monitors--Can It Be Done?
shersta--you might want to consider the green mountain europa. like the 2ce's, the europa's use a first order crossover, and the drivers are time and phase aligned. the europa uses excellent quality parts, and has a very full bodied sound. i don't... 
Review: Record Research Lab Super Deep Cleaner and Vinyl Wash Tweak
colitas--my "custom attachment" is made out of plastic sprinkler system tubing. i cut a piece that is approximately the length of a record from the label to the edge, and cut a very thin slit down the tube (about 1/16 of an inch). i then put self-... 
Review: Record Research Lab Shine Ola CD\DVD\SACD cleaner Tweak
Albert--The RRL cleaners are incredible! Was searching around for a review that I could add on to, but came up empty. So, I started one over in the tweaks section. Thanks again!-Eric 
CJ MV-55 with Vandersteen 2CE's. A good match?
I also agree with Sdcampbell. When it comes to Vandies, I've found his comments and observations to be right on. Further, being a current owner of 2CE's, I can attest to the fact that warm, "tubey" sounding amps are not the best match. In addition...
