| Three best audiophile CD/LP in your collection In hopes that the request is for "good" music with great recorded sound (rather than good sound only, as found on Sheffield LP’s):For Baroque era Classical, rushton's 2010 recommendation of the Harmonia Mundi U.S.A. label is a great one. Also, Tre... | |
| Help me to choose turntable below 1600$. VPI HW-19 (any incarnation, the later the better) with an Audiomods Classic II arm. If you can find one, a Townshend Rock Elite (Mk. 2) in place of the VPI. | |
| Theoretical cable question In general, silver wire will provide more (and/or more extended) highs, heavy gauge silver or copper more bass. | |
| Magnepan 20.1 X-over Consider bi-amping the 20.1's. That will both eliminate the need for a jumper, and drastically improved the sound of the speaker. And it's easy! | |
| Oh man, I broke my class D amp. Make fun of me. Then help. The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band are who is playing in the subterranean room in The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour movie. They made a bunch of incredible albums, containing songs such as "Jazz (Delicious Hot, Disgusting Cold)" and "Can Blue Men Sing The W... | |
| If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it? There are sonic benefits to be gained by getting rid of the speaker-level crossover in a loudspeaker, instead filtering the signal before the power amps, the amps then powering the drivers directly. That requires the speaker be designed to be used... | |
| Tape-in and Tape-out ports Me too Don, for my Stax headphone amp. The old tube version of the amp had a pair of output jacks, for returning the signal to the pre. | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers Thanks zman. Of course, if one buys three sets of four, he will have four sets of three! Perfect for a set of main speakers and dual subs. | |
| Where is you money at latest reissues Audiophile pressings or higher end audio equipment. Moe, the answer to your last question/sentence is the music always comes first. I would MUCH rather have a great music library and a mediocre system to play it on than the opposite. But that's just me. Most hi-fi nuts are also crazy about music, a... | |
| Tape-in and Tape-out ports kalali---For one thing, the tape out jacks are fixed in level, not variable like the mains, so they can’t be used to feed a power amp (unless your amp has level pots). Also, they are taken from before the final stage of amplification in a pre, and... | |
| Who is the WORST Audio Shop? steven-cal, Brooks Berdan Ltd. in Monrovia (just east of Pasadena) is a Magico dealer. I'm sure they would be happy to demo the speakers for you.I assume the Orange county dealer you are referring to is Absolute Audio. | |
| Sgt.Pepper special on PBS Fantastic! The best sections are where the host sits at a piano, explaining the technical construction of the songs. There is a video on You Tube of a musical theorist sitting at a piano, explaining and demonstrating the construction of Brian Wils... | |
| Jelco SA-750D or Rega RB250 Audiomods Classic II. The British designer/builder uses the best Rega arm tube (only), machining all the other parts himself. | |
| What Audio Research preamp would be an upgrade to my LS2B hollytone22---Wait a year and buy the LS28 Mk.2 ;-). It will no doubt "make the LS28 sound broken". Or get an Atma-Sphere Mp3 or Ear-Yoshino 868. Both are available as line stage only or as line & phono stage, so you can ditch the PH3, a dated... | |
| Ear plugs for live musc. If you go to a hearing aid place, you can have soft rubber molds made of your inner ears. Etymotic makes little SPL discs attenuation discs (5-10-15-20 dB) that you then insert into the outer end of the molds. The discs attenuate all frequencies e... |
