| How to Convert Analog Tapes to CD? The cheapest way to do this is to connect the output of your tape deck to the analog inputs on your computer's sound card. However, unless you've got a great sound card, you will most likely be dissappointed with the results (I was).I would sugges... | |
| Just went to my first record show... Not sure where montville is, but I suggest Yahoo maps or mapquest. The exit for Route 22 from the GSP is, IIRC, #140. | |
| Just went to my first record show... It is held at the Holiday Inn on Route 22 West in Springfield (Union County), about 10 minutes west of the GSP. There are links on the web site I referred to in the original post. | |
| Can I get some info on the Onix CD-3? Specs are pretty similar between the Onix and MBL, although the depth of the cabinet is different and the front panel layout is a bit different as well. Finding user or press reviews on the CD-3 is a challenge, even looking on the AV123 web site. ... | |
| Cartridge choice? Ortofon or Goldring FWIW, I recently had a Super OM-10 installed in my Thorens TD-166 Mk II. It runs into a C-J PV11 pre (w/phono) then to an Odyssey HT3 amp, then to Vandy 1Cs, each with a Vandy W2q subwoofer. I am only a casual vinyl listener, but my impression is ... | |
| Seeking mechanically QUIET CD player Strong recommendation: I too sit just a few feet away from the CDP. My Rotel RCD-02's transport is very quiet. I would expect the current RCD-06 to be similarly quiet. I compared it to a NAD-541i and the NAD's transport was very noisy compared to ... | |
| $20 tweak to tame that digital shrillness I heard Mark's rather controlled demo of the Burwen-Bobcat at H.E. 2005 in NYC. It was smooth, but not overly involving or "magical." However, since we were unable to hear an unprocessed CD, it's hard to make the call. I have an EQ in my rack for ... | |
| Has anyone heard the Burwen Bobcat system I heard it at the '05 HE Show in NYC. Ditto what Dracule1 said, although I did find the sound smooth and listenable. Reading between the lines of what he was telling everyone, I suspect that this gadget is not much more than a sophisticated filter... | |
| Which processor? Linn, Rotel, Outlaw, Meridian? FWIW, I home demo'd a Rotel 1068 and the Sherwood/Newcastle P-965 at the same time about two years ago. Although a close call, the Sherwood, which should sound much like the Outlaw (they are both produced by Sherwood) bested the 1068, especially i... | |
| Planning for a possible face-off of DACs/CDPs Bob_reynolds: Except for reducing some hum issues, I have yet to clearly hear cable differences in my rig. I am not denying that cables can sound different (so please hold off on the flames), but IMO, my system does not resolve enough to allow cab... | |
| Planning for a possible face-off of DACs/CDPs Thanks for the quick replies!Eldorado: I don't mind the shipping charges if it will help me avoid buyer's remorse. I would like to include the Apollo and I'll look for a dealer who will allow an in-home demo. I doubt the 1072 will be all that much... | |
| Personal CD player evolution My first was a Magnavox CDP, no remote, "3-beam" pickup, bought new in 1987 from PC Richards. It is still in service(!) in my den. That was followed by a cast-away from my brother, a basic Teac unit, with remote. Actually, it was solidly built and... | |
| Subtlety ? do any American amps do it? My system has some limitations that may disqualify my answer, but I would audition the Odyssey Audio amps. I have owned the HT3 (with cap upgrade) since June of '05, and IMHO, it offers a taste of what the mega-buck amps I've heard offer at a frac... |
