| Who Makes It Anyhow? Parrot I must agree with you that David Blair is definitely a cut above. He personally helped me to sort out an issue that was giving me fits, then even built me a custom cord to fix the problem. Top it all off, the local dealership was "being dif... | |
| Bigger Amp? Try experimenting with different upgrade AC cords; there's no mention of cable tweaking above so I don't knoiw if you've tried this yet, but never underestimate what cables & tweaks can do for you. You'll never know the full capabilities of yo... | |
| The most important piece in a stereo system??? 1. own the best preamp that you can reasonably afford2. buy the speakers that you intend to keep for life & then build the rest of rig around them | |
| Feedback system flawed? Yes myself & another member have both had bad experiences with a particular member having only good feedback; details are available privately. It's not a hugely positive rating, but no negatives. The other member bought items from him not only... | |
| Can Automatic Tables be OK? Haven't enough experience to definitively answer your specific question regarding the Dennon, but contact Bob at membername = Analogshop. He has an arm lift kit that mod's an auto arm lift onto existing TT's lacking this feature. | |
| Mannheim Steamroller HDCD's, anybody heard them? There's currently a special on their website - purchase Christmas Extraodinaire & receive "Christmas Live" free. | |
| To report cheaters ? which website can be used ? Antonius thanks for your email. I hope you have filed a dispute with Audiogon since this ripoff occurred via an Audiogon wanted ad. That is one safe way to expose this cheat without fear of legalities coming back at you. Hard to believe that someo... | |
| Mannheim Steamroller HDCD's, anybody heard them? Grumpy my wife just picked up the latest 2001 Christmas release "Mannheim Steamroller Exrodinaire" this release is absolutely KILLER. Scintillating highs & deep powerful bass, some wonderful productions - man alive this disc really gets your a... | |
| Mannheim Steamroller HDCD's, anybody heard them? anything on HDCD just has to be a step above --- I haven't heard this set, but everything that I have on HDCD is noticably improved over redbook | |
| breaking in a dac That's a slick design but still makes me wonder...Say you've been playing the phono awhile tonight, & now you want to switch to the CD. The whole digital section is stone cold; how is that going to sound optimum until after about 24 hours or s... | |
| Words From the Wise 1. Don't go the mid-fi false-economy route, thinking that it'll save $. You'll only spend more in the long term & if you spent all that initially on the better equipment then you'll be $ ahead & much less frustrated. With all the money I w... | |
| Shipping: A lesson learned Just: That IS weird.COD via FedX Ground can be complicated. At our local FedX office they will handle pickups for DHL (this is FedX ground) they will take your cash, but won't handle account-billed shipments or COD's for Ground service. You have t... | |
| Any Suggestions for a Test/Set-up CD I've been told that the XLO CD is a great deal for $39 | |
| PC for Accuphase CDP? Kelly are you referring to Tara The One ISC power cable @$1195 list? I should try those: I've had very nice results with Synergistic Designer Reference Squared AC cords on my Accuphase gear but they are considerably more expensive @$2K list each &... | |
| breaking in a dac I realized that I messed up a bit on my last post. I just checked the Boulder website (still drooling :-) here) & confirmed my suspicions that the 1012 is a DAC / pre combo, so my statement that "the preamp doesn't have to be powered on" is ob... |
