    Re: Too Much Music

    if you're in a musical rut, try streaming new (to you) music. If you are so pressed for time, you can speed through or skip over whatever doesn't titillate your senses. I dont get the comment "too...

    Re: Newbie needs tube amp tip

    I have the "c" model. I was told to shy away from the D model, trying to recall why. Main thing to look for or do when you get one is replace the selenium rectifier with a modern silicon equivalent.

    Re: Newbie needs tube amp tip

    I owned Cornwall IVs for a period. I preferred the sound of a PP tube amp over SET, esp if you want controlled bass and extended treble. if you're on a budget the Dynaco st70 w/ EL34/6CA7 and later...

    Re: What Songs Are Played When You

    its a great record. Even tho' CM's music was so cliche' in the '70s, IMO the music holds up well.

  8. Re: LTA/Steve Guttenberg/Are there true bargains in the high end?

    With small, low-volume boutique cos. you kinda have to plan on losing half your investment to instant depreciation, and possibly a complete write-off. Been there a few times. Back to the OP, I had...

    maybe someone can explain this phenomenon, but Naim owners seem to LOVE recapping their gear every 10-yrs, its almost a fetish. I ended up spending a small fortune recapping all the stuff I owned,...

  13. Re: Valuation: Need value of Atma-sphere MP1 Mark 1 pre-amp please!

    hifishark.com is a great resource. You can search back 10-yrs and find closed listings in No. America and RoW. IMO, its a more realistic indicator of what the market will bear.

    Re: What Vinyl Do You Have On The Table?

    I never could find a clean copy on Contemporary, I have and played the OJC for years. The recent Craft redo is better and a gift at its retail price on Amazon. Buy now or cry later...(The Chadster).

    During the Carter administration I recall one could earn 12% or more on CDs and about the same on a MM but we had runaway inflation too.

    Re: Cornwall 4 speakers - 6 feet apart to far?

    the CWIVs I owned were spread apart at least 6'. IIRC, the bass was also fuller and better integrated being closer to the wall than out into the room.
