| Any good "sampler" or "demo" discs ? I find some of the Naim samplers quite decent. | |
| Cable recomendations for VTL/Spendor The LAT International power cords work well with the VTL equipment. I own the TT-25s and they benefitted well from these PCs. I run Analysis Plus Oval 9s speaker cables and find them sweet. The Spendors are a great selection. Remind me of my Roger... | |
| Speakers for Rega system Totem Arros are found used for this price. Surprisingly dynamic for such a small footprint, image very well and are plainly just musical. The cherry looks the nicest. | |
| Lead for Micromega service I've used Audio Specialties in Portland, OR for years. Doug Siegel at 503 257 3206. Good luck. | |
| Recs for Small Footprint Audiophile System Budrew,The Linn Classik is much better than most would believe. It is quite musical, so compact and of course very Scottish. | |
| Nuetrality be Damned... Kheart,My Rogers LS3/5As just cleanly took out a pair of $2,000 JM Labs for openess and general musicality. No they cannot play loudly, fill a large room or provide thunderous bass, but what they do they do very well. Colored, warm and still quite... | |
| Old Phillips CD Players Krelldog,A friend swears by the CD 80 which he runs with custom pre, custom DAC, large VTL monoblocks and Martin Logan CLS speaks. It does hold its own.I think you could have it modded as a one box player but would find a better transport for seri... | |
| Best cartridge for Planar 25 Blackie,The phono stage is custom built tube, so matching should be no problem as we will change what needs to be changed. Thank you for responses. | |
| Do CD-R's play on your player? If no, why not? Mg123,Design choice or maybe the way that you burn the CDs. Many players won't correctly play CDRs or if they do they skip. I've found software used with computer CD burners produces inconsistent results. My stand alone Philips CDR 880 is slow usi... | |
| Experiences, good and bad, with VTL Could not disagree more with the previous feedback. No mention of the reader actually ever owning VTL. I own the 25 TT and they sound great with no reliability problems. They run my Reference 3As. Cost of retubing is around $100A friend has owned ... | |
| Best Receiver Ever Made short of the MD-208 That's easy. Luxman 1120A. Smoother than Yamaha and with a superior tuner section. Also better looking...and I've owned several Yamahas because I like them too. | |
| Speakers for small listening room ATC makes a wonderful speaker for $1100. Great British sound. | |
| Best 1,000 complete system for girlfriend ideas The NAD L-40 is a great suggestion. DMC-Electronics.com offers B-Stock for $360. I own one as a travel system. At that price it frees up money for better speakers, stands if wanted and decent speaker cable. It's a great piece for the money and per... | |
| Pros and cons of belt drive Versus direct drive Dlh, It's not that simple. There are basically three designs with many variations: direct drive, belt and rim drive. All are actually quite viable if done properly. The argument of motor isolation is correct. I owned a very nice Denon direct drive... | |
| Has anyone tried Nakamichi Soundspace 3? The Nak is respectable for what it is. Quite listenable, but not very dynamic. It's what it is. |
