| Top 5 favorite MM cartridges currently available Clearaudio Maestro Wood - a step up from the also excellent Virtuoso Wood. | |
| Cary slp-05 tubes rumor or fact? I second Tango tilingo's opinion, I also went from the '98 (now in office system) to the '05, and though the former is a great value the '05 is on another level altogether. Mine has NOS Sylvania 6SN7s in the four critical positions (for single-end... | |
| Lamm ML2.1 with Wilson Watt/Puppy? Lamm also recommends Avantgardes with its SET amps.I can attest to the match! | |
| Can Tube Amps be Used for Home Theater? Look into the Butler Audio TDB (Tube Driver Blue) 5150, 5 channels of 150 wpc with a 6SN7 tube (run very conservatively) driving SS output. I leave mine on all the time - about 6 years now - with no heat issues. Gives a nice blend of tube harmonic... | |
| Expensive Condo - Expensive Audio Bizarre speaker setup of the Goldmunds - so far apart you'd get zero center fill. | |
| Avantgarde or Tonian? Avantgardes are plenty "musical" if properly set up and driven. If you heard them with Lamm ML2s, you'd not disparage their musical satisfaction...have not heard the Bernings, though they have a very good rep. | |

| Speaker suggestions at around $30k Avantgarde Duo Omega. | |
| Mods for Avantgarde speakers To clarify, the CPC charged cap is part of the new crossover included with the Omega driver upgrade; does not have to be added if you've already done the Omega upgrade, or bought Omega version to begin. | |
| Hank Moody's system Either his (delicious) ex-wife got custody of the Avid et al, or his latest crazy GF burned it when she torched his NYC apartment. Either way, time for Hank to step up and use some of his ducats wisely... | |
| Cary SLP 98 Tubes In my '98, I had the best results with NOS Sylvanias WGTs up front. The rear tubes are not critcal in that circuit, and the cheapo EHs were just fine there. | |
| CD player closest to vinyl? Listen to the AMR CD-77.1. | |
| Best Late Night Low Volume Speaker Definitely high sensitivity speakers, if you want a living, breathing sound without cranking the volume. Horns rule. |
