Speakers for 15K - Discounts Hope you haven't pulled the trigger yet. If you have do not read further! I heard the Vandersteen Treo CTs yesterday at an audionut gathering in NJ. Never been a Vandy fan; but these were exceptional with a Belles Aria!Paying retail is bad. Buy... | |
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? About 4 months ago I bought a custom tonearm cable that is claimed to have exceptionally low impedance. That is not the reason I bought it, but I noted that it might negatively affect my Shure V15 RS - I usually play a LOMC which has better bass. ... | |
Music you Hated but now Love Greg Brown's Covenant was delivered today. " 'Cept you & Me Babe" is better than I remembered. It will take me a while to see if I like the rest of the CD, though. | |
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Just arrived. Greg Brown, COVENANT from Red House Records. Been searching for it for about 7 years. I heard 'Cept You and Me Babe' on the radio but I didn't know the title. I thought I had tried every combination possible in all the search engines... | |

Need Small Bookshelf Speakers With a Big Sound Chiguy,Hurry up and decide! We're waiting for the results. ;^)Seriously, take your time. Speaker shopping is such a sweet distraction. | |
High Quality Universal Player?? I am not using it as a DAC, except to play a few files loaded on a USB thumb drive. I may want to with the new unit.Yes, I have it connected to an HP PC monitor for programming and a little DVD playing. I have discovered that Oppo makes, but sell ... | |
Shopping for an integrated, advice s'il vous plait. Another endorsement for ami and yogiboy. But I love my Rotel RX-1052, so maybe add the RA-1570 to the list? Also, the Musical Fidelity M3i. If I were in the market the first three I'd audition would be the Rogue, the Wyred4sound, and the Musical F... | |
High Quality Universal Player?? Thanks, Bill and pmiller. Congrats, Randy. Let us know the results if you do any comparisons. | |
Best Turntable for the Price - Linn Basik I think the Mitchell must be OK. I may try one, but right now I'm using a cork mat (and a graphite/felt/graphite brush), and that helped the static a lot. But I don't think it's a good match for the clamp - very little give.Obviously, you wouldn't... | |
Best Turntable for the Price - Linn Basik Wolf_Garcia,I am was bit surprised by your remark on the Mitchell clamp, since Linn recommends they not be used. I believe the Mitchell is light enough for the Basik's low torque motor, though. Interesting. What mat are you using? | |
High Quality Universal Player?? That's the thing! The 95 uses the same Sabre 9018, it does not let you use it as a system DAC (not into that yet), have HDMI audio out (my receiver has no HDMI in) or support 4k video upscaling (I'm not even connecting to a TV!). I thought I could... | |
Looking to buy floor standing speakers in $1000 per speaker range. Interesting, rlawry. Why not just but a couple f guitar amps and hook 'em directly to a preamp? I'm not being sarcastic. | |
Long lost songs This almost qualifies. I fell in love wit a group called AUM almost 50 years ago. The album was Resurrection, the particular song was Today and Tomorrow. The electric guitar just drove into me, so I borrowed it from my older sister - permanently. ... | |
Looking to buy floor standing speakers in $1000 per speaker range. witchdoctor1, which Tektons do you have? What's your room like? I was lusting for the Pendragon SEAS for my large, untreated basement. |
