| Marantz cd players The best Marantz CDP to this day is the old CD-94. We still used one in our listening room. It completes in stock form with most any CDP out there these days especially for the $1K used prices. Happy Listening. | |
| Is low cost DAC worth it? $500 DAC - nope. Better off spending $500 and upgrading your CDP instead. | |
| The future of LAMM without Vlad They were reorganizing last I was informed, but we can fix any audio product including Lamm. | |
| What DAC to buy? you would be better off having your CDP upgraded then to buy a $1K DAC. You would get much better sound. | |
| I'm going to buy my first tube amp. I need honest blunt opinions Some good advice but you actually never know until you try. We have vandersteen sevens that were driven by 28wpc set amp I believe 520 or 820 tube sounded fantastic on 83.5 db speakers pure class A. We were surprised at that. You can try hybrid am... | |
| What do you hear with a better/bigger power supply and output capacitors in same amp? Typically more watts claim more headroom on transients and long loud passages. No, not really. Our Class A 40wpc mono blocks outperform large mega watt amps. In general terms, when you upgrade the parts in the power supply with better parts lik... | |
| Eversolo DMP A6 with or without preamp Sounds better in what way or areas? | |
| playing "top-damaged" CDs ? @richalan - I think you have dated yourself with Hot Tuna. LOL When I was young we always rented a home on the NJ Shore with my buddies. I brought down a little stereo system and we met some nice young ladies and invited them over that night. We... | |
| Ruminations On CD Players Plenty of options - Get an old Rotel and have the parts upgraded along with the laser if you want really good sound but don't want to spend too much. Or get an old Cary 306SACD model and have that upgraded. Once that is upgraded it will complete... | |
| Best preamp under 1500$ freya+ , cary slp03 ? Buy an cold Counterpoint preamp and upgrade it. It then becomes a reference preamp. Happy Listening. | |
| If you want lame advice DON'T do this! First of all, most manufacturers don't know how to set-up speakers in a room to optimize the sound. When my dealer friend gets in a new pair of speakers, the manufacturer always comes in and changes the positions and not for the better. While th... | |
| Is My Tube Amp Unfixable? Help Needed Anything can be repaired. | |
| Any High End Tube Preamps with *gasp tone controls? I could build you a custom "high end" preamp with any tubes, tone controls, etc. Happy Listening. | |
| All ARC vs All Pass Labs vs All CJ system compare If you look at the designs, then you can have a general idea why they sound different. SS cannot produce the "tube" sound sonically. So you are better telling us what sound you prefer and then we can recommend the manufacturer offers that sound.... | |
| dacs that I have had in my system - a listing Nice, very nice. Lots of time spent. I get why you tried a few from one single company. I always wanted to know if the same companies product were that much better as you went up the line. I did not really understand what sound you were looking f... |
