| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Bryston B60. Ive enjoyed it almost every day all day for five and one half years. When I go, it will keep my widow company......... | |
| Component isolation - digital/analog- a/c- help My experience supports Rex's observation. Despite two 20 amp dedicated lines I am much better off using one of them and conditioning everything with an MIT Z-Center. This was a brilliantly conceived product and can be had cheaply in the used marke... | |
| Thoughts on the Classe DAC1 Good for its time [late 90s.] Be aware of reliability issues. [I had to wait 6+ weeks for the factory to replace a chip and have heard of other horror stories to surpass this.] | |
| Classe Reliability : Your Opinions? Excellent company with excellent product & worthy competitor of Bryston. Like the latter before it made a sales stunt out of it Classe continues to interpret warranties on the customer's behalf very liberally. My guess is that it reduced its l... | |
| Any WARM, MUSICAL speakers out there? Four months ago my wife & I spent a weekend visit reveling in music of all types through our friend's Jean Marie Reynaud Concorde speakers. My wife -of all people!- has actually been lobbying ever since for us to move up from our beloved JMR E... | |
| Totem Sttaf, Any Comments? I agree with Celtic. In a small room, it is all one could ask for. I used a a pair in my study for 3 years & looked forward to listening to the radio on the Sttafs as much or more than to my main system! [The other Totems tend to wear me down ... | |
| Bryston B60 or old 3B + .5B I've owned lots of Bryston over the past 25 years. The B60 is the one that I'll never part with. A classic! | |
| Opinions on Bryston B60 or B60R "R" includes remote control. Your speaker manufacturer should be able to advise you. Aside from an inability to deliver power into loads under 4 ohms this is a sweet & robust-sounding unit with the various speakers that I have used it with: JM... | |
| Your thoughts on J. Atkinsons Chord DAC review...? I was a very happy camper with the EAD Ultradisc 2000 but allowed a dealer to convince me to try the Chord. To say that I was impressed with the Chord would be an understatement. Partnered with a Vecteur D-2 and DH Labs D-75 the Chord sings so swe... | |
| Chord 64dac I'm lucky enough to have a Toronto dealer [Ed Stone of Executive Stereo] who has spent most of his life in recording studios. Since he has enough experience & integrity to recognize a 'breakthrough' when he hears it, I took him up on his offer... | |
| Chord 64dac I used the Classe dac & transport for years, switched to the EAD Ultradisc 2000 & now to the Chord. I loved the convenience of the single box EAD & believe it to be a superbly musical product. Once I had the Chord in my system however,... | |
| Cartridge suggestions for Rega 25 When I bought my 25 I decided not to risk Grado hum. So far I've used both Dyna 10x4 & Benz Micro Ace. Both work well. Neither has the magic midband of the Grados. If pressed, I dont think that I could name a cartridge that makes more musical ... | |
| Do "Cardas Caps" make a difference? Yes. On my Audiomat Arpege they 'darken' the sonics to a point that I find quite objectionable. Proceed with caution! | |
| One Box CD Player or EAD with new Chord 64 Matt & his friend describe it well. For me, this is the end of the Digital Ice Age. Eric has quoted me almost correctly: I'm definitely going to sell my lps. It took 40 years to amass my collection & it will be painful to part with these d... | |
| analysis plus differences Your best bet is to go with the 12s & the cable-jumpers: almost all of the improvement from biwiring comes from eliminating the usual crap connectors between terminals. |
