| Review: Audio Mirror Tubadour MK II DA converter Hi Teajay:I'm familiar with the OP's system. Probably you meant 6N1-P as in the original text. I think what happens with 6N1-Ps is that if you try to drop this tube into a 6922/6DJ8 circuit, it draws more current (heater) and can sound edgy in tha... | |
| Austin TX February, 2009 Even in Houston, 20 peeps at a regular meeting would be exceptional although the club keeps a pretty low profile. I would think 10 in Austin could be counted a success. | |
| West Coast Jazz? Sound Tracks? "The Man with the Golden Arm" and "The Wild One". | |
| Austin TX February, 2009 So, somebody needs to organize a meeting, probably at someone's home. I live in La Grange so I'm not that person. I belong to the Houston Audio Society but Austin is closer. HAS is very loosely organized and they like and keep it that way. They ch... | |
| Amp recommendations for stacked Quad ESL 57's A friend uses (2) Berning EA-230. Excellent sound and plenty loud. | |
| Best bourbon? Slightly sweet and yummy over ice with some branch.12 year old, straight up. Too good. | |
| need help choosing budget tube preamp I've heard Vlad's Audio Mirror T-61 on numerous occasions. It's a fine sounding tube preamp with remote for $700 new. | |
| best small combo jazz recordings on vinyl You cannot go wrong with Art Pepper + Eleven. The double 45RPM set is spendy but worth it or just get a re-issue 33. Fabulous sound and great music. | |

I have two audio buddies that also own the Calypso and they are very pleased. Jim Mcshane can help with tube selection, good advice and real wor... | |
| Best Amp with Magnepan 3.6's When I owned 3.6s, I used the Innersound ESL-300, good sounding and plenty of power (600WPC @ 4 ohms). Still got the amp. Can be had used for 1500-2000. Roger Sanders, the designer, supports the amp at Sanders Sound Systems. | |
| Vibraphone recommendations? Joe Locke (a virtuoso vibes player) has a Henry Mancini album. It's excellent. Do a search. | |
| How quite is the Aesthetix Calypso Vs Bat VK3i I've heard two Calypso and one Janus. No noise issues. | |
| Turntable wall shelf Ditto on the one shelf Target. I have an earlier model, much like the current one, and it has served me well for at least 10 years. Anchor it firmly to the wall. | |
| Preamp for MC 2105 Seems like, back in the day, the 2105 was regularly coupled to either the Mac C-24 or C-26. That would be authentic vintage, ehh? | |
| Need satellite radio recommnedation I've had the Polk for about 4-5 years. Very happy with it. Maybe epay.Remember, if you try to stream Sirius/XM, it stops about every hour and a half, then another click and you're up. |
