Who do you like for equipment mods?
kbuzz - contact member johnk. He seems to know as much as anyone. 
With 15W tube amp, which speakers to use?
Single driver speakers are always efficient due to the absence of power absorbing crossover network. The drawback with most of them is limited bandwidth. Various manufacturers have found ways to stretch the laws of physics to compensate for this t... 
A future city dweller's dilemma...
Floor plan can be much more meaningful than square footage. Do the best you can in that regard and you may find that your current system can adapt. If not, then modify it as needed. You are getting the cart before the horse with this post. All we ... 
Old power amp with newer preamp?
Buy the NAD for $75. No matter what you have there is always something better, or at least different, to pursue. If you can be happy with that receiver, you are dollars ahead. I imagine most of us wish we had quit there. If once you fall into the ... 
Jeff Rowland's Continumm
I currently have a Rowland 102 amplifier which I think is rather good. I have previously owned Rowland 201s and Red Wine Audio Signature 30. It is possible certainly to prefer something else rather than any of these amplifiers but sanity precludes... 
My analog tuner drifts off the station
My Kenwood tuner is at Stereo Surgeons in E. Hartford, CT. right now. He came with the highest recommendations. Give him a call and see what he suggests. 
Jeff Rowland's Continumm
Some of us like vanilla and some of us like chocolate.This is the most thoughtful observation rendered here. We all want to believe that our preferences have relevance. They do, too. But not to everyone. Only to us.I see people in here promising t...

Call Jeff Rowland and find out what you need to know first hand. $8800 is too much to invest based on internet hearsay. 
What tube monos for my Presence?
No balanced inputs. They weren't in place on these used amps and I have been convinced that I don't need them in this application. My system has 5 sources because it is in the living room and does everything. Technics SL-1000 MK II with Denon DL-1... 
What tube monos for my Presence?
20 watt Audio Mirror monos on the way. Case closed. 
Should 'a' been a contender
Both Apogee and Dunleavy spent years in the headlines. I think Jay was asking for worthy speakers that never got any recognition for one reason or another.......like Vision Acoustics. 
vintage turntables?
James1969- The economy of scale is gone and so is the mass market subsidy. Those companies would elect to use exotic materials and they would machine to preposterous precision. If they did it. Which they won't. Ever. The market is too small for a ... 
Pictures, More Pictures
O.K. I get the picture. 
vintage turntables?
Gaslover - This thread seems to be about scoring bargains on vintage tables and I would say that $80 for a Phillips GA 312 certainly qualifies as a steal as long as the cosmetics and performance are still good. It compares more closely to Bang and... 
vintage turntables?
I contacted Kevin (KAB) last year to ask about his mods and their potential. He told me to keep the SP-10 because the best he can achieve with the 1200 series won't quite reach that level. Bigger, better motor, etc. I already had the SP-10 so the ...
