I wish that I were joking about a farewell tour. I saw on the Crue website that there is talk of their final tour being with Ozzfest next year. That'll be one hell of a show if that is true...

On my way home frome work tonight, the DJ on the radio said something that just totally ruined my day. Motley Crue, the band that REALLY got me into rock, is planning their "farewell" tour. I heard that and it felt as though someone kicked me in the gut. All four of the original members will be...

I recently purchased a used Newcastle 980 from an Audiogon member for a starter system for my son. I got curious and tried it with my MG Head OTL. It is a nice match for the Head and Sennheiser 600's. I am looking for one for myself now. I paid $225 for it used and don't hardly think that at...

Hey Wasif, can you tell me who to contact about the mods on this Newcastle CDP??? My Sennheiser 600's came today while I was at work, I couldn't wait to get home and try them out. The Newcastle, MG Head OTL, and 600's are a great combination. Blazter, you'll get no grief from me about buying...

I just spoke to my wife on the phone and she told me that my Sennheiser 600's came in the mail today. I can't wait to get home and try out the Newcastle with my MG Head and the 600's.

I just recently purchased a Newcastle 980 CDP for a starter hifi system for my son. It's a wonderful CDP for the price I paid, $225 used on Audiogon. This unit has an amazing amount of features for it's price point, digital inputs and outputs(toslink &coaxial), fixed and variable outputs...

I agree with having developed listening skills but no sytem weaknesses is pretty subjective. What one person feels is a weakness in hifi, is a strength to another. I've only been into high-end home audio for about 3 years now and have what I consider to be a descent system. What you need to take...

Let me start off by saying that I have no direct ties to the company that I am about to sing the praises of. I have however, spoken to the owner of the company, who also builds each cable himself, several times. I heard about this guy through a mutual friend and am now an ower of a couple of his...

I have a pair of Senn. hd-535 headphones and have a problem. It started with the right side cutting in and out, I figured maybe the baby got a hold of them and damaged the cable. So, I called Sennheiser up and ordered a new cable. The new cable does the same thing. I think I have a problem with...

I would suggest upgrading your IC and go from there. I prefer to use hybrid cables (copper silver mix). I use Straightwire Crescendos for my entire system, including my MG Head OTL. I have also upgraded all of my power cables to Virtual Image and Ensemble Megaflux. The Straightwire Crescendo's...

I'm very sure that you would be pleased with the WBT 0660 spades. I too, use them on my Kimber Selects (3035's). The ONLY problem I have ever seen with these connectors is that the two halves can split apart. I never would have thought of it, until a friend of mine told me that his had done it...

Check out the cinema package at www.romanaudio.com . I bought my wife this package for christmas and she LOVES it. It is all priced out to where you can buy the entire package or just a center channel, front mains, sub, whatever. And if you're not careful, that sub can run you out of the house!!!

I just upgraded my speaker cables and was wondering if I was allowed to list them here?

If ignorance truly is bliss, ALL them boys are on cloud nine. I'll NOT listen without MY Crescendos!!!!! Not to mention my $700 power cables. That entire thread just sounds like the MANY voices of inexperience. In the evolution of audio, I would venture to say that those boys are at the bottom...

I use alot of equipment by Symposium (rollerblocks, ultra platforms, and sveltes). I got an Ultra platform first and placed it under my CDP ( California Audio Labs CL-15), it made an INSTANT difference. I later place rollerblock between the Ultra and my CDP and noticed a little less haze on the...

I was wondering about Stax headphones (electrostatics), are you required to have a certain type of headphone amp to use them or will something like an MG Head OTL work? I was wondering because the other day a guy I know was telling me that he used to own some Stax headphones and how he really...

Love Song - Tesla

I was wondering if any one has tried a Nordost Red Dawn IC with an MG Head. I'm running a California Audio Labs CL-15 CDP > Cary Audio SLP-50B > MG Head OTL. My current IC is an IXOS Aptimus Perimeter. My current headphones are AKG-501's and Beyerdynamics 831's. Any opinions?????

Another cd to try is the soundtrack to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". I couldn't find a copy in one of the local shops, so I bought it off ebay, I think I gave $10/ shipping. It features Yo-Yo Ma on cello. And one more is Roger Waters - Amused to Death. If your speakers are positioned right...

upgrade your source unit, then go for the cables (power and IC's). Warning: UPGRADING can have an addictive effect!!!! Use caution.

A couple of weeks ago I recieved a copy of Jeannie Bryson - Some Cats Know. I really like the track titled "Fever", AWESOME string bass!!! As for the 1812 Overture on the NHT's - do use caution. The canon firing at the end can be hazardous to your speakers health. Also, check with Reference...

I didn't know that Caig has a sample pack. I heard about Caig from a guy on Audiogon that sold me some IC's. I have found it at www.audioadvisor.com There is another cleaner for you RCA connectors made by Kontak, I think it is available at www.amusicdirect.com I don't think that it is intended...

I've been looking into tube amp maint. and found a product by Caig, on audio advisor's web site. It's a cleaner for your RCA jacks and tube sockets. I personally haven't tried it, but I have had a couple of people recommend it to me.

Great links!!!! I use power cables in my stereo system that are a little more costly than those reviewed, but I will keep those cables in mind. I am currently trying to get aquainted with an MG Head OTL and will probably look to upgrade the power cable on it. In my stereo system I use Ensemble...

I just wanted to put my 2 cents worth in... A friend of mine, who does not have a very high-end home audio set-up, a Denon reciever and DVD player, asked me about changing cables out. I told him that if he wanted to change out his power cables, it probably wouldn't have as great an impact on his...
