| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 As a follow up to my earlier post, I have been in contact with Vincent Brient at Total Dac concerning the new transport (the d1 cd, I believe it is called) and he quoted me a price shipped (free) of 7150 USD. This comes in under the Aqua unit and ... | |
| Does anyone listen to the radio anymore? Only in my car. The dial never moves...I listen exclusively to WWOZ in New Orleans, an absolute treasure and, thanks to streaming, enjoyed ’round the world. Vinyl is still regularly featured and the playlist is most eclectic though they specialize... | |
| A new horn is brewing in the cauldron? @roxy 54 How could you forget the biggest offender of all, subbing "loose" for "lose"? | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List @cleeds Shame on you for perseverating. | |
| Stereo Times 2024 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS List @ozzy62 The masthead of "Stereo Times" lists Terry London as a "senior editor", FWIW | |
| What preamp with both line stage and phono? Can't go wrong with the Atma-sphere MP-3. With all due respect to the other excellent product out there, I don't believe you can beat it for the dosh. Phono stage top flight, BTW. It is also fully differentially balanced. I own a fully updated MP-... | |
| Blown away by new Crimson 880 Amplifier and 710 Preamp! Interestingly, according to the website, the "E" series amps (the only amps I could find on the site) are class B, not A/B. In my experience, this is quite rare. | |
| There Is Nothing Like the Real Thing - Our State of the Art @waytoomuchstuff The drag strip is, truly, sensory overload. Ain't nothing like the smell of burned nitro mixing with the olfactory rush of deep fried turkey legs and burning rubber all swathed in 140 db of rampaging funny car. | |
| Forgotten name of manufacturer How 'bout Antique Sound Labs? They made the Hurricane power amp. | |
| Top 10 Live Albums I listened to my two faves last night back to back..."Live at Leeds" and "Rock and Roll Animal". And I hadn't seen this thread, either. | |
| Tom Evans Phono Preamp Repair @tabl10s Just tried your attached link and no go. | |
| Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup No way a dinky SET will drive those speakers. @atma-sphere has told me more than once that high sensitivity, full range passive speakers need some grunt even if the specs suggest otherwise. This same idea has been reinforced many times in reviews ... | |
| Check This Out! Well, it took me a full day to catch the error in my previous post. It was supposed to read 2 BILLION micro farads, not 2 Billion farads. That's still a piss pot full of farads and I have never heard of any other audio component sporting anywhere ... | |
| Check This Out! 2 BILLION farads...? Does that even make sense? I cannot imagine the need/benefit. Grannyring, can you help me understand the significance of this seemingly over-the-top specification from a functional point of view. I'd think you'd need a chassis... | |
| Check This Out! Apparently Cinnamon is coming out with a new DAC called the model II that is a two box (rectangular in shape) affair sporting some new tech/implementation. No info on price that I saw. |
