| If Money Were No Object... A Fantasy Question I once read about someone's impression of the best system ever put together.It was put together by a guy in Queens,LIC,NY years ago. With changing techs along with room dimensions and everything else involved I think it would be a never ending cha... | |
| Best or most profound sleeper product I am using the Panny 45 mated with a Panasonic DVD F-65 to test. Someone posted that it beat their Rotel setup and that is a stretch. So it is about the best value you can get in audio at the moment. The Panny unit can be tweeked for better perfor... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit You can purchase 1/4 Techflex to go over the OTA in order to change the appearance if that is what you wish to do.I use Black.This link might work.There are other manufactures with different styles and types.http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdet... | |
| Best Digital Amps These new Cl.D amps are going to give all those that are looking for quality a taste of hiend for under $1K I think.The best will cost due to parts used,but you will get quality sound for under $1K. I just bought the Panasonic SA-XR45 and cannot b... | |
| Panasonic SA-XR45 & Digital Amps? Replace the PC and see if the sound improves. I tought I'd throw the thing out the window before I did that .Nade a world of difference.Try that and see what happens then post back. Unless you have a difficult load it should easily compete with an... | |
| Mini-systems Sharp has a 1-bit system that list for like $600 going for $130 at the moment, there is a thread at AC about it. I am trying out a Panny Receiver at the moment with mixed results. | |
| Starting a classical library is BMG an answer? Read this about BMG and decide whats going on! I think it's might be the poor quality CD's used because I'll be damned if I do not notice differences in the CD's. Then again most BMG CD's I have are pre 1992 CD's.============================== Eri... | |
| best amp for BASS Geez,I'd love to have a Krell for Mains let alone for using one just as a Bass Amp.I always thought Bass was the easiest single driver to drive provided you have a high Watt capability along with good Damping Charctheristics.Just thought Krell mig... | |
| Stuck in a Rut I really dig Stan Ridgways solo stuff! Almost anything the guy does has been exceptional. I don't like all of his cuts of his cd's ,but there are always 4-5 songs I like. I have like 9 of his CD's and made a compilation which took up 2 full cd's. ... | |
| Sony XAE777 CDP or Bel Canto DAC? You can get a Modded Art DIO or Scott Nixon DAC and then get a used CDP that can be used as a transport. I still use an old Phillips CD-80 CDP as a transport and am reluctant to give it up.I have even had offers for it if I were ever to sell it.Do... | |
| subwoofer passive vs. active I had an NHT that was not bad but if you do a search for Subs you will find others like ATC,REL,SV and Paradigm. Been awhile since I researched them out.Go for the lowest freq. that you can find. Closer to 20Hz. the better. I have read that Parts ... | |
| Preamps for $300 to match with B&K st-140? I use to use a Rotel with a B&K ST-202 which was a fine match. I also tried a NAD which sucked!The best combo I found was an FT Audio LW-1 Passive Controller which took a veiling away from the sound. If you need a remote controlled capable the... | |
| What Equipment Remains In Your System Long Term? My Phillips CD-80 I still use as a transport. I still own a DUAL CS-5000 TT till I can find a good deal on one. My old reliable B&K ST-202 just broke. WIll be replacing it. Wish I had sold it now. | |
| Good sounding carrousel cd player?? I am glad the name of Harmon Kardon did not come p in this thread as I am appaled at the sound of any HK product I have heard in recent history.Everything I have heard from them is dark.They should have kept to producing Tape Decks IMO! | |
| Stereophile confirms new gear is getting worse.... Sorry not to have read the thread,but to get back to the openning comment.I am seeing that the best quality is coming from specialty independant manfs. or modifiers. I have always held that getting best performance for the $$ is by getting units t... |
