| Amp recommendation for Dunlavy SC V For great control and full range depth, to stay in your price range, I have to recommend the Pass Labs X250. I had tried many amps, tube and solid state, and the Pass gear fit the bill the best for me. The most pleasing tube amps I had heard with ... | |
| Best Amp. stands Barry,At what frequencies do Corian, Granite,and Marble ring (or resonate)at? Does the frequency vary depending on the mass? Are they frequencies that are of consequence in an amp stand? How about Carbon Fibre shelving? Does it work better than th... | |
| Need some pre-amp advice... Blake,I had your same dilemma. I was looking for a a two channel balanced preamp to run my Lexicon processor through. After searching and trying many tube devices and a Krell, I settled on the X0.2.I have since separated the two channel audio from... | |
| Amplifier and preamplifier for Wilson Watt puppy 7 While cabling and gear is important, the sound you are describing sounds more to be a placement issue. Go through your Wilson manual and experiment with placement. Azimuth, speaker cabinet leveling and distance to listening position are critical w... | |
| hi-end universal players? I'll second the Lexicon RT-10. Price is right, too. | |
| "Must-have" SACDs Out There I would like to add that Elusive Disc.com is a great source for SACDs. I have found that the Redbook layer on SACDs to be better than the Redbook only discs. I've assumed that the process in manufacturing the SACDs is better than the Redbook repli... | |
| Dish Network BLOCKS OUT Viacom channels??? Viacom pulled the rights to broadcast the channels, not the other way around. The two sides have stated that the other is the problem. Dish says that Viacom is looking for a rate increase 4x the rate of inflation. It also has been reported that Vi... | |
| What effects soundstage more .... The Pass gear should not sound harsh when set up properly. I agree with Sean (as i usually do) that you may want to look at your cabling and be sure you are feeding the X250 adequate power. Power cabling also can drastically change the sound of th... | |
| What is the quality of this internal speaker wire? I would leave it. Tannoy does a fine job of voicing around the VdH cabling they use. The VdH cable is some of the best valued cable out there and we should all be so lucky if all speakers had that grade of cable for internal wiring. | |
| Best way to clean records VPI 16.5 is reliable and does a great job. It gets my vote. Also, the unit's enclosure is easy to laminate with a wood or synthetic veneer if its stock black appearance doesn't appeal to you. Best Regards, | |
| Reliability/Repair Issues w/Sony 9000es DVD player Great reliable unit. My kids watch many movies on it with no probs. I use it occasionally for SACDs and CDs when I am in that part of the house. It always works for me despite the tiny fingerprints smudged all over it. The only prob ever encounter... | |
| Anybody compare a Chord DAC 64 to a Pass Labs D1? I have tried both in my home. A friend who is a Chord fan thought the Dac64 would sound better than my D1. It didn't. I still have my D1 and have yet to find a better DAC in my auditions. That is not to say a Boulder or some newer unit won't best ... | |
| Joss Stone - Soul Sessions I wouldn't associate the discounts of this album with Joss's quality of performance or number of discs that she will sell. I bought my wife's copy of Norah Jones' "Come Away with Me" album at Target when it first came out for $8.99, also. I think ... | |
| Joss Stone - Soul Sessions ...And it is only 8.99 at Target right now. | |
| Why does my seperate tuner sound so bad? Ronald,You might try a friend or neighbor with a receiver that has a tuner in it. The other option is to borrow a tuner from an audio store you have a favorable relationship with and/ or bring your tuner there to see if the problem follows the tun... |
