| experience with Threshold SA/2e or S/500 amps? I would not have gone Classe', even though you could send them to Jon Soderberg for improvements. I was going to suggest an S/500 with a trip to Jon's. | |
| Whats a good matching preamp for Threshold S/300? Hi Dave,Alex was right, though now the Innersound iPre, and Coda 05r, essentually the same circuit, with about $40.00 in upgraded parts is a better bet. The T-2 is a great pre to be sure, but it is getting a little old. The Coda's can be had used ... | |
| Coda mono blocs vs. Pass Labs X250 Hi FlyFisher,I know Nelson Pass designs great gear, but I know precious little about his current amps. The older Coda gear needs modification, but the best part of that is that Coda will do, and back those mods! The newer S gear has most of the mo... | |
| Preamp Help Elad? says use a switch box from Radio Shack if you need more in's to their preamp. They claim no signal degredation... | |
| Does anybody know what's wrong with Tyler's bass? I have to revise this, the active 20's and 40's Paradigm made are awesome. I am sure with bette crossovers the others would sound better as well. The 1801's are as good, but it is important to give credit where credit is due, and Paradigm deserves... | |

| The majic of early 1970's rock and it's influence- Don't date me improperly, I'm your age. I just think a lot of what was done in those days was not on par with what preceeded it. I think Sinatra is more likely to be listened to in 100 years than Babe Ruth, not fair as they were not even a 1 hit w... | |
| Bryston 3bsst Vs. Coda 11 "like some would like you to beleive" As I am the only one who mentioned bright, it is not what I want him "to believe", and I really do not care for the implication that it is. I heard what I heard, and I stated clearly that it may have been the ... | |
| The majic of early 1970's rock and it's influence- Hi Viridian,Wow, now that's something. I initially had the same reaction to Krall. Listening to her was like watching a 50's movie with the bar slut singing. Be that as it may, I finally got hooked on "Peal Me a Grape", I mean it's so comical you ... | |
| The majic of early 1970's rock and it's influence- Well, I suppose my experience is a bit different. I grew up listening and loving these groups, but the older I get, the more simplistic, barbaric, and just plane sophomoric this music sounds to me. Consider Zeppelins "Whole Lot of Love" I mean, I... | |
| belles 250 amp/ xlm stereo pre It may be worth more than you think. I no longer subscribe to the AudioGon blue book, so I do not know. Belles is well respected and it would not shock me if it has held it's value reasonably well over the years. | |
| Bryston 3bsst Vs. Coda 11 For years the word most used to describe Bryston has been bright. I first heard Bryston gear driving Infinity Reference speakers, they had a baffel with Emit tweeters, and mids, and one with woofers for each channel, big money in their day. I did ... | |
| Best tubes for phono-stage? If they used neutral caps, I'd get some 6DJ8 BB's. In a good circuit, they are pretty hot sounding. They are not too far off from the 7308's, but they are better sounding IMO. I am not sure I have ever heard Ediswan's though, they have a good rep,... | |
| Hafler 9505 or Rotel 1080 or Lexicon LX5 Stick with the Hafler. Have IXYS Freds installed, they run less that $25 each from Percy Audio, and they will remove the switching noise the factory installed bridge rectifiers impose on the mid range. With that little tweak, the Hafler will kick ... | |
| TUBES 6922 pinched waist I suggest that you look into some cap swapping. The orange globes are not really a night and day different tube in nature, but if you have good caps, and a sound design, the BB's are about as good as it gets in a 6DJ8. Of course tubes are not line... |
