| Best bookcase speakers for classical music Rogers LS3/5As would seem at least a consideration. | |
| Which direction would you go? Mike,Excellent taste in artists with mostly great recordings.Let's assume the B&Ws go. Ground up for $5,000. YBA CD player and integrated combined with your choice of ATC passive monitors or Totem floor standers. By the time you properly do st... | |
| Do "gold" discs sound better? Agree with Garfish. Gold has mostly nothing to do with it. Quality of the master tape, mastering of the recording and pressing quality. My disc to beat right now is the aluminium XRCD/Fim of 'Jazz at the Pawnshop' | |
| Is there any such thing as a high end receiver? I've owned the Linn Classik/Rogers combination and it works very well. Far cheaper and yet still musical is the NAD L-40. Own one and use it with the LS3/5As at times with very good results as a travel system. DMC-electronics.com should still have... | |
| Is there any such thing as a high end receiver? I love your choice of Rogers LS3/5A. The Luxman recommendation is clearly the winner. I've owned pieces from every company mentioned above except for the Dynalab receiver. That one is very nice, very expensive. I own a Luxman 1120A and it is magni... | |
| Need Speaker Advice Jason,Try the Axioms. Axiomaudio.com. Quite affordable and great sounding even with non-audiophile equipment. 30 day return policy, shipping both ways. Even cheaper at the Audio Shop in Ottawa, Canada. Good luck. | |
| 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... |
