    Re: Selecting new speakers

    Stagger thanks for the rundown on your audio system! And please don't feel bad for me, plenty of people have it a lot worse off than I do. I was simply attempting, perhaps poorly, to explain that...

    Re: Selecting new speakers

    Stagger, although I'm 8 years younger than you, that's strictly in chronological measuring, not medical measuring. When it was 1985 I was 31 and worked as a UPS driver. To make a very long story as...

    Re: Selecting new speakers

    Stagger, unfortunately, "affordability" is a very relative term. I'm 67, disabled, live on Social Security, and a very small Teamster's pension --{it's so small because I became disabled on the job...

    Re: Selecting new speakers

    Stagger, I absolutely LOVE them! The sound is just like a single, full-range driver, speaker with a super-tweeter added that blends seamlessly. What more could I ask for?

    Re: Selecting new speakers

    Hi Stagger! I owned the original Spatial Audio Lab M3 speakers and they were a very nice sounding dipole speaker. But my present Reference 3A Taksim speakers blow them away, IMHO! Mine look just...

    Re: Selecting new speakers

    Shadowfax, I agree completely hearing that Lampizator Pacific DAC revealed just how incredible a piece of audio gear it was! It's way beyond my budget, but if it wasn't I'd own it. Yes the Pacific...

    Yeah a.wayne, but what a watt it would be! But I still think a 5-watt SET amp is what would really do the trick because it's always nice to have a little headroom...

    Randy, you're 100% about that T+A Amp 8 being a great amp. The fellow who bought it from me is ecstatic with it! An MBL 8006 amp?!?!?!?!?! Who wouldn't be happy with that? In fact, I'm happy for...

    Re: Misho Myronov tube wooden preamp!

    Paul, I have to admit it looks like a perfect match to me! In fact, if I didn't know better I would have sworn the turntable's plinth was a Misho Myronov, custom-made, wooden plinth which he made...

    The Hattor has several options on the resistors being used. The AMRG Trans brings the price up to what is also being charged for the tube stage. But it is a huge upgrade from the standard model (I...

    Re: Misho Myronov tube wooden preamp!

    Joe, you're 100% correct! There is a lot of audio gear many of us haven't been exposed to. Before I became disabled at 30, I made a good living as a UPS driver. Back then I made it a point to try...

    Randy, I wasn't familiar with Hattor Audio so I looked them up. I like the look and what I read about their passive "The Big" preamp and I believe the addition of the active tube stage was a great...

    Joe from what you say about how good they sound it sounds like a steal! Sadly my Reference 3A Taksim speakers are only 92dB sensitive, so I'd need a more powerful amp than this. Luckily for now the...
