| FM Antennae Do you have a budget? You can get a simple antennae for $20 from Radio Shack or spend several hundred on a very nice directional with a rotor. | |
| Coping in an Age of Uncertainty Rja, one thing about the ‘net, which has been addressed several times by others as well, it is impersonal. Like you, I am not looking for an argument, I simply shared my thoughts in contrast with yours.No doubt there are many cheap CD players “out... | |
| Coping in an Age of Uncertainty Rja, I certainly do not see things as you do, I do find satisfaction in CD playback, as many others. Digital playback is just another form of music reproduction, I wouldn't say it is in 'competion' with analog playback. You assume the analog playb... | |
| I have a BAT VK-20 and BAT VK-200 what are the bes Who knows, unless someone experimented with that setup. That said, I had a Vk30 and Vk200 and found that match to be a bit dark, adding an Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II was a very nice addition. | |
| Do the Jeff Rowland 201 amplifiers have warmth? Hgeifman, sorry for the intrusion, I don't have experience with the 201's, but from the little I've read, it seems to me that the new amps are a bit of a departure in sound. I too will be quite curious as to how the new Concerto integrated sounds,... | |
| Nakamichi 505 or the Dragon ? If I may add one note to Basements last (great) reply, the CR-7A will also allow you to dial in the head for playback, though not quite as "flexible" as the Dragon and it is manual, not automatic.There were many that agree with Basements assesment... | |
| Nakamichi 505 or the Dragon ? Hi Dave,Basement gave you a lot of very useful information. I am not an "expert" as some are, but I have owned numerous very nice Nak decks (680, ZX-7, ZX-9 and CR-7A) and I used to be assigned to a Nak e-mailing forum for a few years where there ... | |
| Review: Virtual Dynamics David series Power cord Power cord Hi Thorman, I went through the identical process about a month ago, even considering a Nite Version I; after talking with Rick I too purchased a David PC. All my experience again was identical to yours, even questioning the PC the first few days. ... | |
| Adcom GFA-5802 -vs- Parasound HCA-3500 Amps? To Sdcampbell (and others), I want to reiterate that I have never heard either, though I do trust the salesman that mentioned it to me, but I can't say anything for fact. They mentioned something like the 5802 is more power and weighs less, that a... | |
| Adcom GFA-5802 -vs- Parasound HCA-3500 Amps? Funny, I just had a salesman talk to me about the Adcom 5800 and 5802 yesterday as he was giving me info for a friend; both he and another saleman agreed that the 5800 was better than the 5802. Sorry I don't have info directly to your question but... | |
| B&W Signature 805 We found some of the same results as above, placing them out in front of the stereo rack was better than more of a flush position with the rack, which in comparison caused them to sound closed in. There have been a couple mentions of the posibilit... | |
| Tuner recommendations I am quite surprised by some of the responses. At any rate, I will give my vote for buying a good vintage tuner. Like you Nrchy, I hadn't used a tuner in my system in years, then in 2000 I decided to purchase one again, one of the best moves I hav... | |
| Talkin' bout YOUR generation... A six year gap doesn't sound big, but at those ages it spans the gap of music quite a bit, at least for me. On the younger side, Styx comes to mind, on the older side Def Leppard. |
