| 12V deep cycle battery to power Trends integrated Okay. I'm not afraid to display publicly my complete ignorance as to why I am using these Rubycon filtering capacitors. The 12 awg wire makes sense and so does the low impedence battery. Thanks. | |
| 12V deep cycle battery to power Trends integrated Thanks for response. For source, I've found that a non-powered Wadia iPOD dock will work well with an iPOD nano or Classic. A generator will be run occassionally to trickle charge the battery. A pair of smaller KEFs will be used....no it will not ... | |
| Yet Another Budget Integrated Amp Question Second the Mira or even the newer Rega R integrated, both will embarrass your 'usual suspects'. Not familiar with the Teac line personally, but I know them to make nicer stuff in the higher lines.The vintage Sansui amp suggestion is correct along ... | |
| Audio Refinement Complete 'a' Integrated preouts Mofimadness is absolutely correct with his/her information and instructions. This is one of my favorite integrated amps, the preamp section may surprise you with its quality. One assumes you've already run the amp as is and now are seeking more po... | |
| Is there a Rosetta Stone for digital speak? Thank you for all of the excellent suggestions. | |
| Speaker for nearfield listening? Second the Harbeth P3ESR. Not such a fan in the past but they have upped their game and are far more dynamic and resolve better. No longer that laid back British sound. | |
| Now I See Pearson's experiences reflect those of many who try to stay above the pedestrian fray of the money chasers. I am a Capitalist, just not with all caps. I was there at the genesis of the mountain bike rage and watched it become infected by the hoard... | |
| Are Rodgers ls3/5a as good as advertise? & Why Value to you or to the open market? This is a very special speaker when paired with the correct electronics. By that I mean a whole lot of stable current. Pillocks have tried running these with 100wpc Pioneer receivers which become mired in sloppy... | |
| How do vibrations affect the equipment? Vibration control is a dark art. I've always used what I thought were decent Target equipment stands, solid brass cones and various vibration control devices placed under equipment. We all know them. Then I started using a Sunoko Vent stand and re... | |
| Bored with my B&W Zepplin Air Tired of listening to plastic radios? Shocking!! Dragonfly or Audioengine D3, Focal XS Book would be miles ahead of the current set-up. | |
| Miles Davis The Original Mono CD's I, like many have multiple versions of this. My go to version is the K2 HD CD so far. Rich, very acoustic and detailed as much as that original tape can be. | |
| B&K preamps Pro 5, CS 117 verses Hafler DH 110 I've limited info. Owned the Pro 5 and it was nice sounding, however not the last word in detail or soundstage. Would give the nod to the Hafler for that. However, the B&K Pro 10 or Sonata (I believe with separate power supply) was quite good.... | |
| studio/nearfield/bookshelve monitor or speaker Used Merlin TSM monitor old enough to meet your price range. Why? Because it is not vented and will not produce nearly to much loading off of the wall when you place it near or against. Also, they are just that good and will easily be driven by th... | |
| Power Amp recommendations Agree with a lot of what Vhiner says. Having said that, you are not marrying any of these and half the fun is owning and experimenting. For a SS amplifier you might consider the Rega Mira. Very solid performer and should easily beat the Rotel for ... | |
| Entry Level Tube Integrated Decware is a much better sounding unit and will drive the Focals......not to deafening levels. Steve Deckert is a magician. |
