| Naim Dac or power supply? Muzikat,Well it looks like you got me. I don't know how I am going to explain my way out of this one. Let me ask you, though, why would I go out of my way to make something like that up? Unless, of course, I have another motive like trying to get ... | |
| Need help matching DAC to speakers and amp You'll get no argument from me about being careful when dealing with an aluminium tweeter on a B&W speaker. You can even say that B&W tweeters made me the audiophile I am today. Just to note, you were very clear in your original post; your... | |
| Aerial 7b, Nola Contender, with Ayre AX-7e? Joncourage,Good description of the Ayre sound. The most common speaker to match with Ayre (And best, in my opinion), is Vandersteen. The model 1 is great but I would get the 2 if you can afford it. If you do it right, you can save a great deal of ... | |
| Buying 300B tubes in the New York? Try In Living Stereo. If they don't have them, they can probably tell you where you can find some. | |
| Tube Preamps? Another one you may want to look at is a Sonic Frontiers SFL-1. It's not made any more, but if you find a good used one, I can't see you not being happy with it. I had one when it was still in production and was very happy with it. Sounded like a ... | |
| What's The Big Deal About Battery Powered Preamps? Mitch4tThe main reason for a battery power preamp is to avoid any type of contamination that occurs with ac power. I'm sure you have noticed all of the different types of line conditioners and power cords that are on the market. With batteries, yo... | |
| Need help matching DAC to speakers and amp Chesebert,Your Ayre and Harbeth are an interesting combination. Do they go well together? I'm using Ayre myself and getting extremely good results. | |
| Aerial 7b, Nola Contender, with Ayre AX-7e? Do you actually have the Ayre? If so, what do you think of the sound. | |
| Need help matching DAC to speakers and amp I understand what you are trying to do. That said, you might mess up the way you are going about it here. First is with the pricing. Quite often, price plays absolutely no part with regards to sound quality. You might love something that cost a sm... | |
| Naim Dac or power supply? David12,I understand what you are saying, but I think it is fair. The reason being is that: 1. This is what I came up with when I evaluated the equipment. It's not like I read about it in some silly magazine review or something. 2. It's my time &a... | |
| Naim Dac or power supply? It seems that people either really like Naim or dislike them. I can't say that I dislike them; but the truth is I really don't trust them. The reason is this. I was thinking to buy the same CD player you have, so I went to the nearest Naim dealer ... | |
| Headshell Washers : Nylon or Stainless Steel? As long as you align your cart properly, I cant see them making a difference. Who better to judge this than you; why don't you just try both so you don't have to rely on someone else's opinion? | |
| Need help matching DAC to speakers and amp Have you listened to any of this stuff yet? I would suggest that you take your time and get to know your equipment first. This will allow you to make a much better choice. Also, you can get a DAC card for the B100. If you can get your dealer to le... | |
| Do you know how to? I think I just remembered how I got them out. Try spinning the binding post nuts all the way counter clockwise until they actually come off. They won't be flush anymore and will no problem to pull with your fingers. If that doesn't work, just find... | |
| Ground loop related to VPI SDS/motor at 45 rpm? I have to admit, thats an odd problem. Honestly, I'm guessing on this, but you may try 3 things. I assume you have a vpi turntable. On my scout, the motor is completely separate. 1. I would check for a resonance either from the motor touching the ... |
