| What kind of power wakes up electrostatic speakers Try tube amps. The previous owner of my Acoustats commented that his Acoustat seemed more at ease with tube amp of decent size and power. I've tried my Acoustat Model 3 with an Audio Alchemy OM-150 (150wpc) and an Acurus A150 2 stereo amp. The 'st... | |
| Does Panasonic RP 91 still have the best Picture You are aware that you need to recallibrate your display each time you change DVD players. Most people do not do this. That may alleviate the "softness" which you are experiencing. Or it may not. You can use the AVIA setup disc or a sound and Visi... | |
| what are your favorite movie soundtracks. Good list so far. "Interview with the Vampire" (soundtrack) also should go on the list. | |
| Audio Alchemy DTI v2.0 with PS-2 or no? jitterboxes are interesting little things. I used to have a DTI-Pro, but it only came used with the PS2. Never tried a PS3 or PS4 with it. Yeah with any system, less is generally purer. but sometimes the positive effects of a jitterbox (jitter red... | |
| audio alchemy dti pro -vs- monachy dip or 24/96 Compared my old AA DTI-Pro to a friend's DIP. DTI-Pro sounds sort of adds a golden shimmer to rock&roll cymbals. Massed strings also sound sweeter with the DTI-Pro. DIP (not the 24/96, never heard that one) sounds more accurate and true. The D... | |
| Haggemann phono preamp? audioasulum.com forums. I believe Jim Hagerman is a regular poster over there. Are you interested in the Trumpet or Bugle phone stage? | |

| If i had the money..... Check out the 250lbs Classe Omega. I think it was like something 100wpc class a, 500wpc in a/b. then like 3400wpc into some crazy low impedence. that's nuts. | |
| Which DAC? EVS millennium 1 will kill a MSB Link III in most areas (especially bass slam, bass weight, bass texture, bass speed). The Millennium is very comparable to the Audio Note 1.x DACs. I should be able to find a Millennium DAC 1 for $325-400, dependin... | |

| Who is the Youngest Audiogoner?? 25yo, joined two years ago. Man am I getting old, LOL. Where does the time go? To think, weh I started here I had a A/V receiver and a pair of Eosone HT loudspeakers. Now it's planars and tubes. I wonder what the next two years will hold? | |
| UPS strikes again No UPS stands for "Unequaled Package Smashers" (Aroc is a former UPS employee) | |
| Where should my equipment rack go? Any bass minima. I have mine along the side wall and run long interconnects to my tube monoblocs. | |
| Are sacd mods really worth the money? Platsolos, you have a point. I would "hope" a SACD1000 with mods would beat up on "stock" players costing 2x the price of the player plus mods. That way, resale value is a non-issue. Else, you are right, you'd be better off with the more expensive... | |
