| Quality CD Recorder with Analog inputs,suggestion I bought the HHB cdr-830 from sweetwater.com for around $550. It has worked fine but the Alesis unit you describe sounds like it does more things. | |
| musical fidelity sound? Back when I was very green about things audio and still believed reviews in the mags,I bought into MF gear heavily (A300 amp , A3 cd and XCan headphone amp).What a rude shock to find this stuff to be so dull,bloodless, and uninvolving.Sold it all ... | |
| Sacrilege Going from Tubes back to Solid State I heard that Moscode hybrid that Tvad mentioned in LA at the HE show and thought it Best of show teamed with Joseph speakers of several varieties.If I had that kind of dough or if Moscode made an integrated I'd be on it quick.Second place IMO went... | |
| Home Entertainment Show in Los Angeles Was at the show on Friday only and saw it all 3 or 4 times.Best of show ? Close but I'll give it to the Joseph & Moscode room with 2nd place to Channel Island and VSA. Most unusual ? The Zu room. These speakers do some things marvelously and o... | |
| Life beyond Jolida? Steve, Great thread for me as I also have Vandy 2Sigs and am thinking of upgrading from Prima Luna pro-2 (which was an upgrade from ASL ). My 3 candidates: Cary SLI-80, VAC Avatar Super and Manley Stingray.Can anyone comment on the differences in ... | |
| What are the best drop in subs for a 12AU7?? I've liked the Tungsram Industrial grade 12au7 from Hungary (dated 1971) available from A'gon member Tubemonger. Very quiet and detailed. | |
| SEEKING A QUALITY CDR The Taiyo Yuden discs are available from Sweetwater.com at US$50. for a stack of 100 with free shipping.They are good people to deal with especially if pro audio is an interest. | |
| Like my current gear, only better... If you like NAD, then give Rotel a listen.There are few better deals in hi-fi than the 1062 integrated matched with the 1072 cdp. | |
| Lived up to or beyond the hype for 2005. Good thread. Best of my '05 upgrades : Speltz anti- cables, Cary 303-300 , Prima-Luna pro-2 , Jolida tuner and Tungsram NOS tubes. | |
| Primaluna Two : cables, tube rolling ... I run my Pro-2 with JJ KT88 ,Ei 12ax7 and NOS Tungsram Industrial Grade 12au7.Much more refined sound than stock.PC is a Blue Circle BC62 which is quite neutral. IC from the Cary 303-300 is Kimber Hero. | |
| Is the JPS DIGITAL cable as good on CD as reviewed OK, I'll bite : where is this cheap Eupen cord avaiable and how much is it? At present I am using a VH flavor 4 on my Cary 308 and a VH flavor 3 on my Rotel 1072. | |
| Paradigm Studio v2 VS. Vandersteen 2Ce Signature ? I've got the 2ceSigs paired with the Prima Luna Pro. 2 and the front end is the Cary 308 cdp.The paradigms I had were down scale from the studio series but the Vandys just blew them away in pure musicality.Totally agree that the vandys really will... | |
| New Prima Luna Amp In Distress / Me Too Just got my PL2 on wednesday and rolled in 4 jj E34L and voila what a difference! With auto biasing on this amp you can try many combinations. So far the hype is for real. | |
| Classical music - starting points although i have listenned to classical for many years i still get a lot of helpful info from "The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs" which lists practically all the best performances in print. | |
| Jolida JD-100 can U use 12AU7 or 12AT7 instead? Stevecham is right on the mark re Ei tubes.They also make great 12au7 and at 8 or 9 bucks apiece are a steal. |
