| Recommendations for used CD player I bought my daughter a Marantz CD6006, running just over $500 new, and I compared it to my Sony EX player that was several thousand in price, and they sounded very similar. My feelings were a bit hurt that her $500 unit sounded almost exactly like... | |
| And B&K owners here? So why are you upgrading it? Looking for more power? If the Yamaha or Mac are of the same size, I doubt you will be moving up. Just a lateral move. If you think the Yamaha is going to sound sweeter or better, you may be disappointed. Those early B... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? An interesting development. I posted earlier in this thread and said that I generally prefer my analog outfit over my CD player, unless I was playing something hard and heavy. But! I just bought a new amp, I replaced my Forte' model 3 with a Krell... | |
| Is it too bright or is it high resolution? Every human ear is different. No two are alike. The brain receives impulses from tiny hairs growing in a snail inside your head. The size, shape and length of hairs are different in every ear. It really is amazing just how much we can agree. Trad... | |
| Shipping from norway to usa? Nonoise is right, if everything went right, you'd be in the clear, but if anything should happen, you could wind up loosing your money with no recourse. I was thinking of buying an amp from Canada, so I did a search of these forums for internation... | |
| Please assure me I'm not going to burn my house down. Please use a standard IEC power cord until you can buy or make a proper power cable. While the copper in the CAT 5 may be up to the task, the insulation most certainly is not. Way too thin for the amount of current flowing through a 120v 60Hz powe... | |
| SME Tonarms, SOTA Vacuum Turntables, and 10" Records Sorry, I'm not clear on this. I understand that the vacuum platter cannot make a seal on the 10 inch record. So, what's the problem with turning the pump off, and just playing the 10" record? At least your VTA would be correct. That would seem to ... | |
| Time for a new tube system. I agree with Mani-2, keep your amps and buy new speakers! Something a bit more sensitive? some horns maybe? | |
| Time to upgrade the old Dual turntable, looking for opinions. There are lots of options in the $1500 range. And it's a good place to be, dollar wise, that is where you jump over beginner tables and get to some real entry level high end tables! Shopping used, you've got many options, I paid $1100 for a VPI Sc... | |
| Can I use this amp in my house? Je48 sounds like he knows his stuff! I'd listen to him! But I will add that I just got a Krell FPB-300, with a 20amp plug, and it came with a cord that has the 20amp connector for the amp on one end, and the other end has a standard 15 amp plug o... | |
| Legacy Audio Classic HD Speakers with or without Sub The best thing to do is try them without a sub. If you feel you need more, then add one. But, my Legacy Focus's have so much bass you'd never know a sub was in the room! And I had a pair of speakers years ago they had two 8" woofers, from a compan... | |
| Legacy focus polyfill Looking at mine, I think it may have had just a piece covering the port holes from the inside? I've pulled a speaker and the rear connection plate before and didn't see any, but I can see some looking down the port holes. | |
| best value - record cleaning machine Thank you mktracy! And it's quieter too! Goes in both directions, just everything about it is well thought out. Love my Project VS-C! | |
| Which sounds best, 120 volts, or 240 volts? The point was, if a power cord can make a difference in sound, would not operating on a different frequency, transformer, etc. make a huge difference in sound? And I'm afraid I do know what I'm talking about, I've got a college degree in electroni... | |
| Best excuse for playing loud music? Yea I told my Mom that it was recorded loud! So to get the best playback it had to be played loud! Anything less wouldn't do! She didn't buy it, but she left me alone for the most part. |
