| Getting back into analog Who has heard Shindo preamps with their builtin phono & what was your opinion? | |
| Getting back into analog Travis, Swampwalker & Dlshifi thank you for your recommendations. I should comment that I will be looking for tube options only. | |
| Getting back into analog So far there has been some great suggestions. I realize that a external phono stage would provide more flexibility and easier to upgrade if I wanted to but the builtin one box solution has alot of appeal to me. Keep them coming. | |
| Who has heard the Audio Research CD5? Realhifi,Have you been able to compare to the CD7. | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? I have read most of the posts and the down side has been covered very well. I have owned various high quality tube and SS amps and speaker matching is the key. I have heard your speakers with a quality 300B amp and it was magical. The only way you... | |
| 10 percent for cables ??? Buy used and keep the cables that work best in your system and that you can afford. Don't worry about the percentages. | |
| Which has greatest influence? I have read all the above responses and I believe all pieces in your system are important. Proper line conditing is just important & will make your system sing. I have heard your amp and I own a CJ preamp, a CT5 would be a great match. | |
| matching speaker to room size? You have the classic problem of matching a speaker for yourroom. I have been through the same situation in a 14 x 18 with a 10 foot vaulted ceiling. In most cases medium size floorstanders should work fine in your room. You didn't state your budge... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? I just purchased a pair of Rapture i/c's and s/c's and yes they are really good out of the box. With only a few hours in my system Steve has indicated that it will improve for the next few days and then settle in. These were cooked before they lef... | |
| Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ??? I have been using the Playstation 1 periodically in my system with fine results. However, when I put my Modwright 9100 back in the system the magic returns. PS1 is very good & for the money & it is a no brainer. If you don't want to spend ... | |
| Ayon CD-2 sonics? thoughts? opinions? Doug,Are you going to be able to compare the CD-2 against the CD-3 soon? I am looking to purchase a new CDP soon and enquiring minds want to know. | |
| Are There Any Good, High Power Solid State Amps? TRL 225 mono blocks. 300 watts per channel and they sound wonderful. | |
| Circuit City is Closing, Liquidating I have also had very poor experiences at CC but the one that blows my mind happened a few weeks ago at a hi end salon. I had recently sold a pair of speakers and had the budget to spend up to $20,000 on a pair of floorstanders. I told the salesman... | |
| Speaker for low volume listening with high WAF If you like the Wilson sound the above mention of Duettes might work. I have heard the Harbeths 7ES3 with your new amp and it was a great match. Also the Merlin TMS and Focal Be 1007 would be great choices in a smaller room. I have moved from a la... | |
| Harbeth I have owned both Merlin & Harbeth(5shl)and Casouza is quite accurate on his comparison of the two speakers. Both are outstanding but I liked the musical flow of the Harbeths better. Can't lose with either. |
