| Interest in Joule Electra VZN220 amps? The Rites have always each come with a separate variac built into the chassis. The musicwood is an upgrade however. I own serial numbers 001 of these fabulous amps. I bought them used from Jud 7 or 8 years ago and they have been stone reliable and... | |
| Cartridge recommendations for TW Acustic 10.5 arm. Got you Jeff. You don't have to decide until you are ready. I suspect that whatever way you go will bring you pleasure. | |
| Cartridge recommendations for TW Acustic 10.5 arm. Opus, have you changed your mind? | |
| Thoughts from Joule preamp owners? The mark 1 seems to lack the typical joule magic unfortunately. When I took the beautiful la 100 out of the upstairs system and replaced it with the la 150 mark 1, I thought what happened? I guess I need to take the cash I made selling the la 100 ... | |
| Thoughts from Joule preamp owners? I have an la 150 mark 1 and an La 300 ME. The 300 mated to rites of passage provides the most seductive, involving, and satisfying sound I have ever heard. The 150 resides in the second system where it is not as good as the LA 100 it replaced; i w... | |
| TW Acustic 10.5 and Graham Phantom Supreme II Opus, I have Raven 1 with the new power supply, and phantom II arm with an LP-S. The sound is sublime and wonderful, very detailed, timbrally accurate, quiet, providing a beautifully wide and deep stage, and superb timing. I haven't heard anything... | |
| Benz Slr Gullwing vs Lp s The SLR has a gyger stylus? Then it's not the same as a nude LP-S. | |
| Benz Slr Gullwing vs Lp s I have an LP-S and run it on a phantom II with the stock counterweight with no problems. I upgraded from the LP. The LP-S is spectacular, much better than the LP. I couldn't be happier. My vinyl rig sounds phenomenal. | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others audiofun I understand your point too. I am sure that one day I will enter the world of hi res digital but for the moment when I sit in the chair I usually spin vinyl. :) | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Interesting to read this old thread about the venerable bidat vs. some newer dacs. I don't think that I will ever sell my wrighted bidat. Its wonderful and bests every other dac i have tried in my system when fed by the cec tl 1, which I can't ima... | |
| Good budget tube amp? Music reference RM-10. Magical little tube amp. I run one upstairs with totem model 1 sigs and joule la 150 and it sounds very very nice. | |
| SME 20/3 or TW Acustic Raven One I have a TW Acustic Raven One with graham phantom and it is a fantastic table/combination. I can't comment on the SME platform but I think very highly of the Raven. | |
| Stand out phono stages Another vote for the steelhead, vastly improved by installation of a pair of siements CCa 6922 tubes. It creams everything else I have tried including an early Sim stage, a VAT BK 10 and a joule lap 150. I haven't tried any of the other wonderful ... | |
| Joni Mitchell Blue - Wow help me Agoners One of the first concerts I ever attended was Joni Mitchell solo at the troubador in LA right around the time blue was released. It was unbelievable. How can someone channel emotion so? Blue is one of my all time favorite albums, a desert isle rec... |
