| Onkyo M-510 ZERO DISTORTION? The M-510 is one of the greatest amplifiers ever manufactured. Its big powerful sound competes with any amplifier made today. The M-510's fit and finish cannot be duplicated. Have you ever owned one? Or ever seen one in the flesh? Its totally amaz... | |
| "D" amps, general discussion who's 1 and why? I think they are very speaker dependant. My one audio bud, listened to the Bel Cantos (he loves their DAC) and he found them unsatisfying and went back to his big class a/b amps. I have a pair of Nuforce SE9s and they work wonders with the Mbl 101... | |
| Old Krell vs new Krell amps... I have to disagree with upgrade 1394, the KSA 250, KSA 200, and The KMA amps 160/400s are not at all grainy--they are very very refined and open. These all run pure class A. They have the big fins, run hot, and are very desireable on the collector... | |
| what are the thoughts of stand alone super tweeter I use the Radio Shacks for all my systems, including the reference system. Its very efficient, you can pad it down with a resistor. Peter | |
| Tape Project Tapes Mike,I must disagree...I have never found vinyl to eclipe RTR tape. It is the one bastion of "as close to master tape as you can get".When RTR were/are mastered there was/is no concern to the low or high frequency rolloff of disc cutting heads and... | |
| Internet radio stations that sound really good Radioio used to have reference quality streams. They went from a windows based platform to a Mac environment over six months ago (the company was sold).The sound was at first terrible---thin and upper midrangy MP3'y. Totally unlistenable. Since th... | |
| Motif MC 7 or MC 8 I too would go for the MC-7. It offers a very open window on the sound. There is a rightness about it. I have had all three (still have a pair of 7s and a 10). The 8 was a little warmer than the 10 and the 7 is the leanest. I saw a 10 go for 1600 ... | |
| Jadis amplifiers: rolled off treble? Not the JA 500.It is the most realistic linear sounding amp in my stable. It had the Da Hong input stage mod, perhaps this removed some of the above mentioned colorations.I remember reading HP and he thought the 500 was the more "detailed" amp tha... | |
| Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH This is an interesting thread that drives home the fact that vibration control and stand construction material is a key determinant of sonic signature. From reading the review and now Mike's follow up here I wonder what the table would sound like ... | |
| Krell KMA 100 or other Krell power amp I have been testing several older Krells...my research with the 1st gens (fan cooled) is that they have very good sonics but are somewhat prone to reliability issues with clogged fans and thus running hot over the years. I am having great success ... | |
| laptop to analog, any suggestions? I am using a Emu 1616M. Very open and spacious sound. Excel image layering. Best $499 I've ever spent in audio.Peter Breuninger | |
| Has iTunes, etc. impacted your listening habits? Copy your files to two external drives (one for back up). Plug a emu 1616m into your laptop, place laptop on a small computer stand near your listening chair. Use EMU's DACs or your DAC of choice and there you go!Instant highend PC :)peter | |
| Turntables from 1-10: Personality 8.5 Beauty 12 This thread caught my eye--I like tables for the looks too as well as the sound :)Last year I bought a Transcriptors Hydrolic Ref for the looks. It came equipped with an SME 2 arm and a Shure III cartridge. The sound is amazing---every bit as good... | |
