| Digital Cable Recommendation If you really want a price-wise *cheap* cable then it would be Apogee Wyde-Eye ($50 for 1m RCA type cable. Price seems to have gone up ~$10).Others that I understand are very good are:Silver Audio Silver StreamKimber D-75Kimber D-60 (this is the m... | |
| What's involved in dedicated lines Hbrandt,Great feedback! I remember that you were on this topic a few months back & your post generated a lot of inputs for you.Anyway, can you explain this sentence to me: ".....all the wire should be run in the same direction"Are you insinuat... | |
| Stylus Cleaning Schedule? Take a flashlight & shine it on the stylus. If it is clean, you should see light passing thru it ('cuz the stylus is translucent). If no light passes thru it, then the stylus is dirty & needs cleaning. Depending upon how well you clean you... | |
| Best transport for redbook and HDCD? Just watch!"Audioengr" is going to burst into this thread & claim that the Sony DVP-S7700 *with* mods is *the* best. He's going to make this 1-liner & simply exit!I'm surprised that he hasn't made his presence felt as yet! | |
| most analog sounding CDP Celebrat,Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post & giving us some more info. It does help some.I'm totally perplexed on 2 issues & have a hard time reconciling them in my mind:-* the Musical Fidelity sounded better than an Accuphase... | |
| most analog sounding CDP Celebrat,Please explain &/or define "best" as it applies to you. What I'm trying to understand is what YOU look for sound-wise in a component, in this case a CDP. This will give me an idea of what sort of sound signature the Harmonix-Reimyo CD... | |
| Herman eats crow, RRL record cleaning fluids work 4yanx, Herman,Looks like I'll have to try the RRL fluid myself. Right now I have a bit of the VPI fluid that came w/ the 16.5 machine + a concoction of my own that I use to clean LPs. It does a pretty decent job of moderately dirty LPs but not for... | |
| Here's To Dear Old Dad I too salute my Dad for introducing me to this hobby when I was a child. Over the course of the years that I was growing up we owned several Dual TTs including a Dual changer that would have several LPs stacked & they would drop as the one pla... | |
| Can a MC cartridge be used with a MM preamp? I'm afraid that I'm w/ the other guys on this - if you want to use a MC cart. then go the full length & get a low output MC cart, MC phono pre, load the MC cart. correctly. The real reason to go to MC cart. is that their music presentation is ... | |
| Expensive interconnects I'm afraid that I have quite a contrarian view of the Kimber Hero interconnects. I've owned them since year 2000 & I personally think that they are a POS cable! Fat, bloated bass that sounds s-l-o-w. High freq are rolled off. The true midrange... | |
| CAT SL MKIII vs ARC SP 11 or 10 Tubegroover,>>I can't bring myself to sell the CAT. Maybe I'll try that upgrade Bombaywalla.I think the above statement says it all! Case rested.Please do yourself a favour & get that upgrade! That noise floor will disappear totally &... | |
| CAT SL MKIII vs ARC SP 11 or 10 Tubegroover,If you intend to keep the CAT, I strongly urge you to send it back to the factory to get it upgraded to Mk 3 status. You will change your impressions of the CAT for the better! The Mk 1 (I assume you have the Signature Mk 1) uses 12AU7... | |
| What transport for my Birdland DAC? Abbeydog,Sorry to steal your thread w/ this digression but I have been equally peeved w/ "audioengr" making 1-line recommendations & then exiting w/o providing any explanations! I have noticed this on AA & A'gon now for a long, long time. ... | |
| Wadia 861 digital output configurations ? Yes, I do! I got the manual emailed to me from Wadia. Email me off-line & I'll email it to you. | |
| Looking for dedicated power line advice. Hbrandt,Don't exactly know why you are going so gung-ho on using "audiophile" in-wall wire for your dedicated lines. It seems to be a wasted expense - this was my gut feeling & it seems to be verified by several other members.I think that Beld... |
