| Best Red Book CD Player for under $120 If I recall, an Adcom 575 got good press. I have seen them for around $100 on A'gon.Regards, | |
| VooDoo Cables ? I have to agree with Tvad.T-Cup has been there, done that, many times now. Always the same, I think he (or she) have even had threads removed do to their nature. | |
| Replace a Yamaha Cr 840 with a Yamaha,NAD, Denon? Why not get the Yammie fixed? I have an 840 and besides being well built and beautiful (love those green lights), it sounds very nice. Shouldn't be too much, probably only a couple hundred bucks. Get it aligned too and you've got a great unit for ... | |
| What are the best drop in subs for a 12AU7?? Contrary to some views, the CV4003 from the 80's is NOT a bad tube. However, it is system dependent, it will sound hard in many. They should also be low-noise, low microphonic tubes too, like from Upscale Audio (no affiliation). Older Mullards, wh... | |

| Analysis Plus Oval 8 Vs Acoustic Zen Satori I have heard both in my system and preferred the AP's. In my experience, they had better detail, balance and transparency. The AZ's also had a mid-bass emphasis that I did not care for. YMMV with the 805's.Regards, | |

Maybe as a hold over cable until I got better or different cables, etc.The HD has... | |
| Surround Sound Recommendation Eldarado,No, I guess "middle of the road" varies. I would say maybe $1500???Thnx, | |
| Speaker Cable for Merlin TSM-MM In my all tube set-up I use TG Audio silver with great success. The late Bob Crump could really create some great cables.Not sure how they would work in your set up though. I think they would be OK, a little fuller than the AU24 with no glare or e... | |
| Bob Crump passes away over holiday. My current cables are TG's, which I purchased shortly after speaking with Bob. Just a nice down to earth guy, the kind of guy who you know you could sit back with and enjoy a couple beers, bullshit and watch the world go by.He may be gone but is c... | |
