| speaker cables with a warm sound Just a wild guess... the OP probably decided on speaker cables, about 15 YEARS ago! Just sayin'. | |
| Morrow IC's I have a pair of MA-3s with Eichmann copper plugs, another with standard plugs, and several MA3 Y-cables with standard plugs. I got a free MA1 cable with one of my purchases. I am happy with all of them, although I do sometimes feel they are lit... | |
| Zerostat: Old is Gold? I have my original Empire static gun, which I probably bought in the late 1970s. Still seems to work, although I have read that there are parts inside these things that eventually wear out ("Good for 10,000 LP sides!"). I would only buy used if ... | |
| Oppo UDP-203 or 205 reviewed in TAS Jan 2018 Issue? I love Oppo products, and their customer support is amazing. I have had a BDP-93 since 2011. But I wish they would upgrade to gapless file playback. It killed the Sonica DAC for me, which otherwise, does everything I am looking for in streaming DA... | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? Robert - Thanks for your comments on the Brooklyn DAC+. Out of my price range right now, but, you never know...I think your ability to clearly hear and describe the differences between the Oppo and the Brooklyn imply that your preamp is indeed re... | |
| Speaker distance Ohm Walsh 2000, 9 feet back, and about 5.5 feet apart (no choice; tight room). | |
| PMC 24 and Canalis Cambria two way floorstanders; What is the advantage to this design?: IME, there is less to the driver count of a speaker than the designer's skill. I have heard multi-way systems that are great, and some that stink. Ditto for two-way towers. But a designer that knows what he is doing can get excellent, extended ... | |
| Melco N1 back up Steven, have you contacted Melco or the dealer you purchased it from? The only Melco dealer I know is Care Audio in Edison, NJ. Sunil is a pleasant and knowledgeable guy, and I think he would be happy to help if you can't get answers from Melco ... | |
| Dude, where's my bass? Oh, lost to stiffened rubber surrounds...who knew? +1 on the MillerSound recommendation. He has replaced the surround on a car speaker, as well as replaced the surrounds and restored my original pair of New Large Advent Utilities that I got new in 1978. I couldn't bear to part with them. They n... | |
| My first post Welcome, Ponchit and Happy Holidays. IME, 99% of the folks here on Audiogon are nice, intelligent, respectful audiophiles. If you run into any of the 1%, I suggest you do what I do - ignore them and move on. | |
| Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) Odyssey Audio Stratos amplifer with cap upgrade. | |
| No preamp 'Balance' control? schubert - If your SS pre has a tape monitor output or some sort of home theater pass through, you can route your source components through the SS pre and then into the tube pre, adjusting the balance in the SS and volume in the tube pre. Hopeful... | |
| No preamp 'Balance' control? g_nakamoto - AFAIK, the mx series are home theater pre-pros, so they must include individual channel level controls for all channels, including the right and left. Not as convenient as a front panel knob, but equally effective. | |
| Recommendations for music network player Thanks guys! I was actually thinking of the Node 2 as a first step, to be followed by the addition of an ifi iDSD Black Label DAC (which I can get an employee discount on through a family member).But, since it my current DAC only goes to 96/24, I... | |
| Recommendations for music network player 2psyop - I am still on the fence about the Node 2. I may soon have enough credit card points to get one, but some of the reviews have criticized the Node 2's sound stage as too narrow and not deep in comparison to somewhat more expensive DACs. C... |
