| Optimizing the Prima Luna Premium Integrated amp Like Meiwan says, try the Mazdas. Brent Jessee has them.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Stabilizers and footers I second Herbie's Audio Lab. They drain (absorb) from all directions, not just vertically.All the best,Nonoise | |
| I Take My Music Seriously Sabai,The closest I come to liking CW music is Johnny Cash and there was a time when I liked Mandy Barnet and Shania Twain. There's always some aspect of some music that can draw me in. Maybe not Polka, but most music. :-)All the best,Nonoise | |
| Are you still playing CDs after, comp based syst? Could have fooled me. | |
| I Take My Music Seriously I don't have a syncopated bone in my body, but I wished I did. I love the music that I listen to. On the other hand, I find myself less tolerant of others tastes. Some more than others. I think it's a byproduct of this hobby.As for the seriousness... | |
| Are you still playing CDs after, comp based syst? No need to gloat.There is no vindication here, just another aspect to be considered.All things in good time.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... I've taken exception to what reviewers have said. I think it's safe to say we all have. Only once have I felt the need to write about how I felt (keeping it sane) and the reviewer included my take on it in the review, demonstrating that we all hea... | |
| Are you still playing CDs after, comp based syst? Neal, I think you hit the nail on the head. My PC rig was basic, at best, but it still bested my CDP in terms of clarity, detail, ambience and extension at both ends. It wasn't until I tried some old Mapleshade ICs I had that now, the CDP bested m... | |
| Are you still playing CDs after, comp based syst? It sounds like a lot of folk are settling for a computer based system and extolling its virtues, proclaiming the death of CDPs.It's only when I read reviews like this: http://www.stereotimes.com/ (on the Laufer Teknik Memory Player 64) that I real... | |
| Perfectionist Audio I second Ivan's POV and Elizabeth's as well.It's been difficult, financially, to assemble what I want which led to the 'read, read, read' part of the equation, which led to a kind of enlightenment coupled with a temperament and discipline, of sort... | |
| What makes a good piece of audio gear ? No matter the design (did I just say that? LOL), one always reads in a review how they end up testing with 'their' ears. So, as long as ears don't change with the one who heads development, a 'house sound' will exist from one model to the next wit... | |
| I just had my Audiogon account hacked . . . Of all the ways to make a living and 'they' decide to scam hobbyists. Enterprising little bastards, aren't they?Pardon my French but it seemed appropriate. All the best,Nonoise | |
| How many switches do you have to flip the play a CD? My CDP is on all the time so it's one switch for the integrated, one for 'open tray', the insertion of the disc itself, 'close' and then 'play'.What's all the hubbub?All the best,Nonoise | |
| What, if any, component to upgrade? Advice? When it comes to upgrade, it's hard to stop at just one item to replace. The first two suggestions are a good place to start. The Bifrost will set you back about $400 or so (if you forgo the USB) which would leave you with $600 to put towards a po... | |
