| Jerry Garcia, A Legacy? "Nothing left to do but smile smile smile....He lives on in my heart, and always will...." Beautifully said, Shakedown. | |
| Pass amp vs McCormack with Silver/Gold upgrades... River251: There is a DNA 0.5 here on A'Gon right now with upgrades by Steve McCormack, asking $649, which looks like a whole lot of amp value for the $. Jmcrogan2 is indeed correct that the 10:1 impedance "rule of thumb" should be taken with a lar... | |
| Review: Boulder 1060 Amplifier Rhyno:Boulder has confirmed that the 1060 Data Sheet on the website was inadvertent error that they will correct. The correct input impedances for the 1060 are 100K balanced and 50K unbalanced, as shown on the Owner's Manual. So, my concern about ... | |
| Review: Boulder 1060 Amplifier Melbguy and others: I am considering a 1060, but want to be sure it will mate well (at least on paper, the ears are the real test) with my tube preamp, CJ Act 2 Series 2 (SE, unbalanced only). The 1060 Owner's Manual shows its unbalanced output im... | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsars No doubt a great sub that is dialed in right can bring great monitors very close to full range -- assuming a modest sized room. The wife and I heard two different pairs of Pulsars at AXPONA in NYC, and we thought they were the best speakers we hea... | |

| CD player to compete with my vinyl rig? Rega Saturn. Buy used and it will fit your budget and your needs. | |
| Burmester 001 or Audio Research cd 7 Alexatpos:I realize its two years since you posted this (with no response), but I'd be curious to know if you ever actually paired Burmester and/or the ARC CD-7 with the Inpol2, and if you did, what results? Thanks. | |
| CDP Help -- Apollo vs Apollo-R vs Saturn Can't comment on the Apollo or Apollo-R, but my office system has a Rega Saturn running through a vintage Pioneer SX1980 receiver (in excellent condition) and speakers are Linn Katan and Velodyne SPL-1000. Very pleasing results. The Saturn acquits... | |
| best cd player to get?? There's an ARC CD-7 for sale here on the Gon right now, asking $4,295. That's an awesome value. | |
| Newbie Needs McIntosh Help For sure make the extra investment in the MA6600 for the fuller "McIntosh" sound and the extra power gives flexibility for future speaker changes, particularly as you are already considering moving to larger Diamonds. BTW, while the MCC201 is a ve... | |
| Any "Deadhead" audiophiles out there to help For true Phil Bombs, consider a (or, better, two) JL Audio F112 (or two F110s). Beyond that, and recognizing that you enjoy the surround/multi channel experience, if you are really looking to capture the live Dead sound, you should still consider ... | |
| Best speakers in the 3000 -5000 range Excellent suggestion by Realhifi on the Linn Akurate 242's. At $3,500 they are an incredible value, way underrated. Like the OP, I listen to a lot of classic rock (among lots of other music) with great results through the Akurate 212's (i.e., the ... | |
| Hi Fi Dealers in NYC - where to find them? Here's another nod to Innovative Audio. In my search for just-right monitors earlier this year, Bruce Deegan was informative and very accommodating. I did three separate, 2 1/2 hour auditioning sessions alone with the equipment and my own music, a... | |
| Should I bother to try a subwoofer? Interesting that JL Audio is not mentioned in this thread. The OP went with REL and is happy, congrats. No doubt REL produces a fine sub, but for anyone else considering (Mapman?) adding a sub to a fine pair of monitors: (1) absolutly do it, for a... |
