| Bit perfect copies I'm using the Phillips dual tray 2X recordable/rewritableunit. Does a great job of making bit perfect copies, but fails miserably as a CD playback unit. This is no big deal as I didn't buy it for that purpose. I think there are several units on th... | |
| How can you tell when tubes are shot? I think there's allot of good advice on the previous posts.I might add that turning the epuipment on/off really is not a problem with the newer design ARC epuipment. I got tired of replacing tubes so I just plan out listening time to turneverythin... | |
| Do I want more bass? If you really want deep/clean focused bass go listen to a well set-up pair of Dunlavy SC-Vs or VIs. It just might change your life! | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE The Dunlavy SC-5s is as close to the perfect speaker that I've heard. Had them now for several years and keep gettingsurprised with what there are capable of. Many of my friends are just amazed by the multi-channel effects coming from a two channe... | |
| Best Unknown Jazz Album Lee Ritenour- 'This is Love'. Great recording/great music.Not on any audiophile list that I've ever seen. | |
| ARC 100.2 vs. MF AC3R vs. McCrmak DNA125 I think it depends on what other equipment you put with it.I've been an Audio Research enthusiast for years and find incredible synergy when ARC componets are teamed together.Conversely, I've observed that in conjunction with other makes, ARC comp... | |
| Speaker Grill Cloth, On or Off I have the Dunlavy SC-5(s) with Audio Research electronics and without question the soundstage is more tightly focused and dynamic with the grills off. I am careful, however, to keep the grills on at all times other than when I'm doing some concen... | |
| Best Component Ever, for the money Audio Research CD-2 used,found on Audiogon. | |
| Sony SCD-1 vs SCD-777es? I will be watching the comments on this as well. My only exposure has been to the SCD-1, which was stunning. If the 777es does as well for $1,500.00, it will be the sonic bargain of all time. | |
| Your vote - BEST CD PLAYER in the world?? Well, I'm sure there are probably better, but the used Audio Research CD-2 that I picked under 2K sounds fabulous in my system. I think it's perched at that point of deminishing returns, that is you can spend a whole bunch more but get very little... | |
| Fly in the SACD Ointment? I've been an audiophile for about 30 years and have tried basically all the major specialty record labels. I've come to the conclusion that most of the music I really don't carefor too much and the recordings are unnatural at best. Along the way I... | |
| Clements RT-7. Help I need Info on em Yes,I am familiar with them, in fact, I own the turntable from their reference listening room. In any event, they can be a very good speaker provided you pick an amp that is truly capable of controlling the woofer. Some of the older Krell amps did... | |
| RCA vs XLR In a truly controlled (lab) environment with unlimitedbudget design XLR will be better. Real world it isn't thateasy with some maufacturer's RCA sounding better than someother's XLR. Even if it means spending a bit more, alwaystest your targeted c... | |
| Audio Research transistor gear vs. tubes I have had both solid state and tube ARC gear and say without question the solid state equipment of late is both excellent and albeit a bit different but not inferior to it's tube counterparts. More important is system synergy and choice of cables... | |
| Stupid question about WAMM. Is it really I have not heard the WAMM but I have heard many other Wilson products and rate them with a handful of true State-of-the- art speakers. I have also talked with Dave Wilson personally and find him to be one of the 'true gentleman' in the industry. T... |
