    Re: Passive Pre-Amp Experiences?

    I had a Sonic Euphoria for years. No ARC preamp I heard (never lessened to the ref series) are as good. Transparent, attack, wide soundstage, it lacked for nothing. The only reason I moved on was...

    Re: Allnic. L3000 Mk. II

    You know David I put my ear right in the cone and couldn't hear a thing. It really is shockingly quiet for a tube piece.

    Re: Allnic. L3000 Mk. II

    Sorry friend. No experience here. But I'm so impressed with the build quality. Mine really is tank-like. If the rest of the line is like that, well, it bespeaks of quality and longevity.

    Allnic. L3000 Mk. II

    Okay the new preamp has been installed, fired up, and given its first good listen. Any discussion of the Allnic has to start with my amp, the Maker Audio Reference 2a stereoblock. The amp is the most...

    I'm going to do a bit of experimenting that way myself. my success with the sound anchor speaker stands has led me to try sound anchor component stands. I'm going to place an order next week. I hope...

    Yeah...isolation devices. They scare the heck outta me. I'll buy one...it sounds worse...or still more frustrating "different" and then I don't know, and I feel lost; then the low key depression...

    Re: Component stands

    Boy oh boy do I agree with you. Flexibility is really important, but do those changes amount to a difference when stuff comes out of the speaker.

    Component stands

    How important are they? What should one look for in a good stand? What are you using? How did you system change after you settled on your choice?

    P.S. I just want to thank everyone for their...

    Re: What Vinyl Do You Have On The Table?

    I'm very happy right now as I busted out my Johnny Winter "the progressive blues experiment" on Imperial Records and found it to play perfectly, no noise, no crackles, dead perfect. I paid 0.49.

    Best Bang For the Buck Used

    I keep looking for a preamp deal. I need a fully balanced unit and as such I am interested in Classe, Aesthetix, and Wyred 4 Sound. Which brings me to BAT. Holy cow there's a ton of different models...

    Re: Luxman L-590aX Integrated Amp

    I love what you've done. Simple, clean, I bet a million it plays the crap outta music. Congrats on a fine system. There's something so Japanese garden about that gear--very cool.

    Re: Tubes + Jazz + Vinyl = Heaven

    I'm feeling this too, but for me, I would slightly amend the equation: Jazz+Vinyl+Class A= Heaven. I dream of Clayton Audio.
