| Cayin TA-30 fuse specs and suggestions for upgrade Best you contact Steve at CayinUsa. com. He is the distributor and a technical expert on all Cayin/Vas products. Steve s a really nice guy. | |
| VPI Direct Drive Turntable Harry is all about marketing and the dollars it will bring. Sound is really secondary. Plan on a return to belt driven TT's in the near future from Harry. Don't get me wrong, Harry makes some great products, they are just not good values. | |
| Best budget cables for tube amp Monoprice is the way to go, great sound, great value. Let your ears be the judge, not the reviews of the experts, who have never listened to your system. | |
| Preamp with tone controls? I second Elizabeth's recommendation. Behringer is a much neglected source of high end gear. | |
| Advice on selecting a tube amp Take a look at the Cayin/VAS line, great sound, great value. | |
| NJ Audio Weekend - who would come? As a non profitable idea, I admire your daring. I suggest you talk to some of the organizers, dealers and equipment suppliers who do shows. I think you will find that one of your 'tickets' to participate would need to be about $500. Also, I think ... | |
| Miles Davis The Original Mono CD's More about this remaster can be found at: http://www.analogplanet.com/content/miles-davis-kind-blue-monophonic-reissue-sonylegacy-analog-planet-exclusiveWhat saves the day is they are using the original three track masters as a starting point, sin... | |
| Miles Davis The Original Mono CD's As they say, depends. There are all kinds of 'remaster' process, so it will be interesting to find out what they did starting with the original analogue master tapes, which I assume is the starting point. If not, it will be same old, same old, dri... | |
| Remote volume control = unacceptable compromise? Think Chase RCL 1, a $100 add on that provides all remote functions, including balance and tone. Try one, you may be surprised. I know, I know, it is a solid state unit that some will think would degrade the sound. Is that true? Only you can deter... | |
| Interesting vintage find I am sure your friend is wealthier for not having to chase the 'cartridge and system of the day'. See, great sound can be found and stayed with. | |
| Which would you pick? PrimaLuna Please look at the Cayin line, it is made by the same people who make the PrimaLuna. IMO, Cayin has better sound, better value. | |
| 25 year warranty – thoughts invited Like roof's, a warranty is really useless unless it comes with a 'bond' issued by an insurance company. Companies come and go, but an insurance company tends to last a 'lifetime'. | |
| Worth of a Panor Dynaco stereo 80 tube power amp? $200 start, $400 reserve. Nothing special about the Dynaco 80 sound, so it really is not a 'classic'. | |
| PC recomendation for cd ripping Don't, that simple. Use the time to listen to music. Among the many cd players I have used, I've found that a Sony CDP-CX355 is a better alternative to ripping. I have two, so I can load 600 cd's and just enjoy the music. One of the units has been... | |
| Thanks to John and his crew at Audio Connections I have enjoyed John's exceptional service many times. Treasure your brick and mortar places, for when the John's of this world are gone, they are gone. |
