| Integrated Shootout: Rogue Tempest/Cary Sli80 sig Gthirteen, you seem to really like your planet! If you think it is good, than it is TO YOU. Keep it, and you'll save yourself lots of money. Ignorance is bliss! Sure there's tonnes of better stuff out there, but you can trick yourself by thinking ... | |
| Integrated Shootout: Rogue Tempest/Cary Sli80 sig Gthirteen, I also have the Rogue Magnum Tempest. I changed the 12AX7's to Mullard CV4004 from www.kcanostubes. I also put NOS Phillips in the 12AU7 slots like you. I am selling the QUAD of NOS Phillips here on the gon (need cash).I heard a huge di... | |
| Which cables and ic's would you choose? I second the Virtual Dynamics cable package. I loved his PC so much I outfitted the whole system with the reference stuff. Rick now offers cryogenic freezing for all cables if you are interested. | |
| Are all blank CDR'S created equal ??? Do you guys mean Mitsui??? | |
| HDCD and XRCD. Which's one sound better? Well do you have an HDCD decoder chip on your player?If not, then forget about getting the HDCD version...XRCD is about the same as the SACD's out there and they sound awesome! XRCD's showed me how much the recording quality matters in the system.... | |
| Are You Content With Your System? Drewfidelity, I also listen to my Magnum Dynalab Etude Tuner more than my digital source. If you've got a good station locally with an uncompressed signal it's VERY good quality with the right tuner. I'd recommend the Magnum or Fanfare models Etud... | |
| What time do you wear? Hey Tireguy,That www.artoftime.com site is the best for selection and prices IMO. The others lack website quality and the prices are a little steep! Thanks for the tips, I've been looking for a while for this type of site. | |
| What time do you wear? Hey Guys, I'm looking for a nice TAG. Can you watch nerds give me some good advice? I love the looks of the TAG watches over any of the half decently priced watches out there. I'm looking to spend around a grand. If you have any recommendations fo... | |
| Speaker Dilemma: Sat/Sub or Bookshelf for Office Budrew, the 208 is a bit of overkill in terms of power considering you will have the speaker quite close to your ears. Like you said, a small tube amp might be a better choice. Take the money you will save on the 208 and put it towards a better Tu... | |
| Sonic Frontiers Line 2 or 1 compared to new SE Garfish, the local dealer in my home town has informed me that the SE versions are much better than the normal versions of line 1 and 2. I would also play around with NOS tubes in the meantime. I did the same thing here with the NOS tubes I got...... | |
| Which would you buy? Never hear either but I really like that Jeff Rowland Faceplate on the EAD. | |
| Best Sounding used amplifier under 1000??? The Mullard CV4004 is a Military grade version of the 12AX7. It sounds better than stock tubes but costs about 5X as much.... They go for about $50 each. | |
| Best Sounding used amplifier under 1000??? The EAD is great. I own the EAD Ultradisk 2000 Reference CD player and it just killed Musical Fidelity A3 CD, Bel Canto DAC 1 and a few others. EAD has great products and they look awesome with the Jeff Rowland faceplate. If you can find one, let ... | |
| Opinions needed; which is a better choice and why? RE Chel's suggestions,I second the Bel Canto DAC 1For interconnects, speaker cables and PC I would get the Audition package from Virtual Dynamics. If you can swing it, the Rogue Magnum Tempest Integrated (which both Chel and I own) will do very we... | |
| Best Sounding used amplifier under 1000??? I second the Rogue 88 amp. Upgrade the 12AX7's to Mullard CV4004's and you're on your way! Yes the Magnum upgrade is worth it IMO. Start with the normal version and swap out the tubes I mentioned and you'll be most of the way there.With this amp y... |
