| Another tube preamp "What should I buy" question. Correction. MFA Magus series, | |
| Another tube preamp "What should I buy" question. What about Airtight? Or even one of Scott Frankland’s soon to be released Magnus series units. | |
| What speaker is the most musical, one you never want to sell? I would have a hard time parting with my Trenner & Freidl Stone Arts, only 20 pairs made. Although I believe there have been some some slight improvements in the crossover and drivers with the latest version. These are still an amazing speaker... | |
| Anyone know a custom woodworker who can make a case for a vintage receiver? Try vintagehifinut, Matt in Bend, OR has made some very nice vintage equipment enclosures. He took on a couple of my custom wood projects, a custom plinth/armboard for my AR, and custom stands for my Omega SAM’s. Not sure where he is at with proje... | |
| Does anyone listen to the radio anymore? I listen in my vehicle to Jazz station KNKX through the week while in the greater Seattle area and also to Jazz station KOHO out of Leavenworth when home on the weekends. Really enjoy my Accuphase T-101. | |
| Seeking speakers under $3K for 10x12 ft room and driven by 20wpc tube amp Black Ocean Audio Nick Nacks. Unbelievable soundstage! Imaging, tone, clarity are way above this price point. The fun factor will leave you beaming! I heard them just last night paired with some equally impressive 20w Apollo Dolos mono’s. | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports I have looked at and considered an older CEC T-1 and a Jays Audio. Curious where the Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T would land in the battle between these brands? | |
| Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time? Louis is as easy to talk to about what you want as any in the business. And the fact that you can get a custom build in a short time frame is worth it. I have the SAM’s and love them, may get a pair of passive subs at some point from him. Check ou... | |
| Compact ~20WPC Tube Amp Get in touch with Will Vincent here on Audiogon or over on Audiomart. He always has some sweet ST70’s for sale. . | |
| BOOKSHELF SPEAKER RECOMMENDATION Audel Magika MK 2, not sure if there is a U.S. or even Canadian distributor by now. But it is easy to contact Walter Carzan and get them directly. Incredible tone, midrange, just a great speaker that delivers in so many ways. | |
| Amp match for Chartwell LS6? I have really enjoyed them for several years with a Classe’ CAP151. But once I had my GAS Son of Amp/Thaedra rebuilt by Mike Bettinger, it’s been sitting. To my ears they pair so well together. Abit reluctant to match them to my WV ST70 wired in t... | |
| Looking for a DAC under 2k The Swiss made Merason Frerot should be on this list. Granted when combined with the POW-1 it is above the 2k mark. | |
| Where did you buy your first audio gear? Audiophile Mike’s Electronics Wenatchee,WA GAS Son of Ampzilla/Thalia | |
| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? Cizek speakers, G.A.S amps/pre amps, Crown and Mitsubishi tuners | |
| Acoustic BBQ Cables Explain the Schroeder method please. I am alway on the look out for another Acoustic BBQ PC. Right now, I am very pleased with my Aurealis Audio from AUS, Geoff Maloney builds some very nice Duelund cables. I do have his speaker cable and shielded... |
