| Buyer's remorse - your worst purchase? My first attempt to put together a decent system. I bought Joseph Audio RM22s based on the rave reviews. I had listened to many speakers and was getting a bit frustrated. When I hooked them up to my Krell integrated, I was horified. Thet were brig... | |
| Tired of same ol' CD'd... Mouth Music. Either of their first two cds. Third cd is too commercial. Great Afro-Celtic music and vocals. Also Dr. Didg, outback didgeridoo world music. Ali Farka Toure with Ry Cooder. Lorenna McKinnett, Mask and Mirror. Bang on a Can, percussio... | |
| Best CD player around $2000 new or used? I found a wadia 830 here on Audiogon for under $2000 by posting a wanted. It is a wonderful cd player. Smooth, natural and as good as,or better than anything I've heard. | |
| Inteligent high end cableing I use Jenalabs interconnects and find that they were a major improvement in my system of Krell,Wadia and Aerial Acoustics. They are a small company, with great reviews if you can find them (Positive Feedback in the spring issue). I have heard grea... | |
| Revel F30 vs. Joseph Audio RM25si I bought a pair of Joseph Audio 22s and had them for a month and returned them. I know people rave about them, but I was very unhappy with them. They were bright and hard to listen to. I never got a sense of ease and coherence with them. I demoed ... | |
| Best CD Player for under $750? I agree that the Adcom GCD750 is a great deal. You can find a used one for $750 and it is as good as any $2000 player I have heard. | |
| Mid Fi Cd Player with the Most Bass I've had an Adcom GCD750, matched with a Krell 300i and Aerial Acoustic 6s. It retails for $1250 and is a great deal at that price. I compared it to a number of other sub $2000 cd players and found it to be the best. It's quiet with good low level... | |
| Need help : Mit or Cardas? I use Jenalabs Syphony interconnects and Cardas Cross Speaker cables. They are a great combination. My equipment is a Krell 300i, Aerial Acoustic Model 6s and a Wadia 830 cd player. I tried many interconnects before I settled on the Jenalabs. The ... | |
| Good amp to match Totem Model One I think two amps you might want to consider are the YBA integrated and the Musical Fidelity from Audio Advisor, which can be connected two ways, one for warmth and one for detail. There is a recent review in Steroephile. Also check out audioreview... | |
| MFSL CD's - Are they worth it? What a hype. Yes, some are great recordings, but save your money. I just happen to have Beany Babies for sale. | |
| Great Acoustic Guitar Recordings Pepino Dagostino. He has an album of acoustic guitar playing that is great playing, but not always exciting. Worth the price of the cd is his version of the classic "Walk Away Renee", one of the few cuts with vocals. It will blow you away, it is b... | |
| The BEST Audiophile System under $5k... Musical Fidelity A300 integrated, Arcam Alpha 7SE cd player. Meadowlark Kestrel Hotrods. That's only $3800.00 with $1200.00 left. Enough for Cardas Neutral Reference interconnects,Audioquest Midnight+ biwires and two Harmonic Tech ac cords at $175... | |
| bookself for Krell 300i? I also have the krell 300i. I demoed it with the Totem Ones and it was a very bad match, harsh, bright and lean. I listened to the Kell with Platinum Trios (floorstanding). They were much better, but I would be leary of Platinum because I think th... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! A little off track, but the worst album by a once great band has to be the latest by Crosby,Stills Nash and Young. What were they thinking? | |
| BEST classical guitar.....CD! I just wanted to ad to my prior post. The Guitar Trio cd is #314 533 215-2 and begins with the track "la Estiba". The label says both Verve and Polydor/Polygram, 1996. |
