| What are the "must have" HD Tracks albums? 10-07-11: Richard_stacyLoving the remastered Nirvana Nevermind album, highly recommended.Richard, in my opinion, this type of music doesn't show improvements with HD. The intros to Come as You Are and Lithium are spectacular. I don't know if they... | |

| Dahlquist DQ 10 Stands I don't remember where I got the measurement file. It was probably posted on the Yahoo Dahlquist site. I'd like to make a pair when I finish refurbing my DQ-10s. | |

| Used full-range speakers less than $1,500 Ohm Walsh are spectacular in that price range. They replaced Alon Model V in my system which I loved very much. The V's have been sitting in the corner for the past 6 months and I haven't missed them. | |

| Direct coupled tube preamp? Audio Electronics AE-3 DJH is direct coupled. It's essentially a baby brother to the Cary SLP98. It's fantastic sounding and mates well with tubes or SS. | |
| Transformer volume control with Tubes/Quads? Audiogon member Tom_nice has Quad ESL 63s driven by tube amps and a resistor-based passive volume control. I've heard his system several times and think it sounds fabulous. You should contact him if you have specific questions. | |

Five or 10db should be adequate for most systems. The 21a is rated at 17db.I used 10db Rothwell attenuators to tame my preamp and it w... | |
| Audio Electronic Supply AES/Cary AE3 MkII preamp For what it's worth, Gerald Walsh told me the DJH has 14 dB gain. I wanted to clarify that since folks in this thread think it has 20.
