| upgrading VPI turntable I completely and totally agree with Markd51. Why? Because I have such a full blown VPI HW-19 table. I wouldn't trade it for anything out there under 6K. It's that good. | |
| EE MiniMax Dac Tube Rolling? Glad you are enjoying the DAC. It really is an excellent piece of gear.I have also tried it without the tube, but still prefer it with the Mullard, in my system. It is indeed nice sounding in the SS mode, but the tube gives me that "analog" sound ... | |

| Recommend some Blues music to a newbie Joe Bonamassa rules! I will get to see him live in concert on Tuesday. Can't wait. Should be a killer show.I also really like a CD called "Girls With Guitars". These chicks can really play and sing. | |

| ARC SP-6 Warmup time I owned a couple different versions of this preamp. The 6B and later did have a "timer mute" circuit, but I remember it only took a minute or two at most to unmute. It was a long time ago,so maybe I've forgotten.Here is an excerpt from a 6B owner'... | |

| EE MiniMax Dac Tube Rolling? I have tried quite a few and really like the Mullard CV4003 Platinum Grade from Upscale Audio the best. I also like the new Psvane 12AU7 from Grant Fidelity. The Mullard is a little sweeter and warmer, while the Psvane has more detail.Op-Amp rolli... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Just got the new Bonnie Raitt-"Slipstream" and Blind Pilot-"We Are The Tide". Both excellent. The Blind Pilot is KILLER. One of my favorite new bands. | |

| Dunlavy SC-IV minus SC-I = a good sub? River251...Like I said, the SC-III fits better into more rooms than the HUGE SC-IV. I LOVE the IV, (and the V & VI), but they are ginormous and really need a big room to work well. The SC-III, (not the SC-II) is my favorite. IMHO, it was the s... |
