| Leagcy Focus 20 vs Small Watt Tube Amp I would guess the ans. would be in the spec.sheet of the speaker.i.e. for this wattage one would want 8ohms no major dip below 6 anywhere, and decent sensitivity such as 90/92. | |
| Best Inexpensive DAC One more low-price jobbie; Theta's 'pro-basic'2--around 250. | |
| Jazz Big Band Recommendations? Last month they had a free 'big bad daddy voodo' presentation on Direct tv. I thought they were pretty hot---and I'm an old fart;whom remembers Glen Grey, TD, BG, Miller, and has a lot of that genera's music. They just do the 'big-band' on a small... | |
| Separation anxiety I think I understand this anxiety thing. Kinda,sorta, like leaving home.Should I 'hold-on' /or not. The Maggies are a different thing. I ain't,at all familar with your Mac speakers; going to any kinda plannar electrostatic speaker will indeed be d... | |
| Theta Data basic II or universal II? You don't mention if you use the LD portion of your player. If you do;don't stop till you get to the Theta Data 3. (includes free class A cd player) You will also need a class A dac to go with;.... | |
| Where should I go next? Well there are so many ways to go and they all cost money. I have way over 100k in 2ch and hidef equipment. While I haven't bought much in the last few mos.some of my pieces are old.and some new. To me buying equ.is also a learning process. You ha... | |
| I cannot switch off a Jadis Defy 7. Help It should be ok to 'pull the plug'--If you power-off the pre first.Wait a minute or so before unplugging the amp.BTW I have had this problem with 3 different amps. (MR ref.2,Eagle4,CJ 8)I had a Defy 7 for 4 years and never had the problem with 'it... | |
| Synergistic Resolution Ref. with Piega P10 This may only confuse you; I have ALL Syn. active ics. I bought the Res.Ref .5 speaker wire at the same time. I don't have any of your pieces but I do have pretty good stuff. I used the speaker wire for 6/9 mos. so it wasn't like there wern't enou... | |
| Help a 'tardo out...... Hey guys;I could be wrong but I thought the 5.1 outputs on the back of a dvd machine were for dvd-a or sacd music.(Some read 1 or the other/some both) Movie soundtracts sound much better with the digital out going into a processor or rec. If I'm w... | |
| Do You Remember Your First CD Player? I was a late converter. In 1986 I bought a Magnavox;can't remember the model #. My present player is at least 10 yrs. old: Theta Data 3. | |
| Physically awkward components... Well my amps are in that weight class but not as cumbersome as the CAT pre, with the power supply. | |
| What components are a good value in used market? This is more of a response to your thread title;not the actual question of the thread. Having been at this site for 4/5 years I feel one of the best used-values would be the CJ 11a. They seem to be selling for the same price after all this time. B... | |
| Herbert von Karajan DVD Clearance at Tower Records I don't know, to me music is music.--You like a piece/ or you don't. The Rachmaninoff piano 2 in c by Herbie with Alixis Weisnberg gives me goose bumps like no other version. You are welcome to take exception to my candor as it were. I never impli... | |
| Jadis Defy 7: need advice I owned the 7 mk 4 version for about 3 years. Only thing I know about 1,2,3 is what I read in Stereophile. That pretty well matches what rcprince says. I have since moved on to CJ 8xs (el34's)version. To me one is music;the other ain't. Even CJ 5'... | |
| Herbert von Karajan DVD Clearance at Tower Records Well guys,the coward I am, I figure I'd have done whatever it took to stay alive had I been there in those days.---- AND,---don't believe all you read. In life at some point or another we all have some kind of agenda. (The person whom wrote what y... |
