| Lucinda Williams Fans? Glad to hear there are at least a few fans out here! I think she is doing ok, from what I hear through the grapevine.....as to this most recent disk: I think it sounds great-both her and the recording quality. I think she is probably eager to reco... | |
| Mid-priced warm sounding DAC? Another non-upsampling DAC to consider (even though you didn't say you are looking for one) is the Poth Audio:http://www.pothaudio.com/prod.php?view=20Really quite an impressive sounding unit and a steal for the price. | |
| Sugden a21 question.... I own the power amp version, the A21a, and I have used it to run a pair of Vienna Acoustics Beethovens (91db at 4ohms). It is an excellent amp and sounded great with the Beethovens at volumes as loud as I cared to listen with a wide variety of mus... | |
| Looking for tube preamp with remote volume ?? Tube Audio Design TAD-150. | |
| Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy? Pick up a used PS Audio HCA-2 for under $1,000 and send it to Doug Jesse at Reference Audio Mods for his full-monty mod ($1,200). Outstanding sound. | |

| Best budget tuner I also recommend the Sansui TU-717, which can often be found for $200 or less. It is a great (and great looking) tuner. | |
| Best speakers circa 77-79' Acoustic Research 98LSI. Made just after your target years (1981-82ish). Four-way speakers with the same driver configuration as the famous AR 9, except the 98LSI had one woofer instead of two. Warm, rich sound, very musical...you can listen to th... | |
| MSB Gold Link III Thanks for your thoughts. I am sure the platinum is a major step up, but I can't really justify the $$$ for a 2nd system (3rd, really) I have had the opportunity to demo the Gold Link III for a couple of days with and without the P1000 and I think... | |
| Jimmy Smith - RIP Don't forget "Back at the Chicken Shack" and "Home Cookin'"...also "Root Down," a rocking live show from the early '70's that is now available on CD. "Angel Eyes" is one of his better recent releases. | |
| anybody know jazz Check out Charlie Haden's "Nocturne" and "Land of the Sun." Great music! | |
| Help with CD player upgrade Though I don't disagree with any of the above posters' fine advice, I would make the following suggestion: look at an inexpensive Toshiba CD/DVD player such as the 3960, (plays everything except SACD), the 4960 (everything including SACD) or the 6... | |
| Older PURE CLASS-A Amplifiers Don't forget about the Sugden A21ap, excellent 25wpc pure Class A. They show up here occassionally for well under $1,000. | |
| Anyone pay 1st price, Even if it's fair ? Poll I am puzzled by some of the responses to the original post...why would anyone pay asking price all the time if the seller specifically states that the seller is willing to entertain offers? Conversely, if a seller indicates that his/her price is f... | |
| What SS Amp for TAD-150 Tube Preamp? You might consider a Belles 150A or, for a couple more bucks, the Hotrod 150A. Great amps and right around your price range. |
