| Experiences with mass loading stands What is the material between the bottom of the speakers and the top plate? | |
| Revox cassette decks Keep the Nak. Take it to a tech familiar with Naks, supply your go to tape and have it internally tweaked for that formulation for optimal performance WITHOUT using Dolby. Sound floor will drop dramatically, S/N improvement, better highs and resol... | |
| Decware - any substance here? I own the DAC and it is terrific. It runs the Cirrus Logic CS 4398 DAC chip which is the flagship chip. You will find this chip in very very expensive DACs. I have friends far tweekier than me who love this DAC and other DECWARE products.They've s... | |
| Reasonably priced integrated to power KEF Q65.2? Rega Brio $700 new. | |
| Cayin integrated amp and power conditioner I've played this game over the years and landed on a Furman Elite 15i. Really does work. Music is more dynamic, blacker background, more open sound stage. It's weird because I didn't want it to work. Very synical about audio "Voodoo".Also invested... | |
| Differences in NAD integrateds/ Rotel also Do not know your price point, system or musical tastes. That information would go well for impressions from A'gon members. I've listened to much of what you've mentioned. All decent enough. Might really consider Exposure or Rega to step up and out... | |
| upgrade from beresford DAC TC 7520 mod with LM4562 I chose the DECWARE ZDAC1. It carries the flagship Cirrus Logic chip and is sold for the ridiculous price of $875. It is quite good, read the website decware.com and my review here on Audiogon. | |
| Best Intergrated Amp for JMR Twin Sigs under $500? Exposure 2010S. Bit over your budget, but a very nice piece. The Cyrus and ASL will work well also. | |
| Cheap but decent preamp ??? B&K Pro 5 or 10 depending on price used. | |
| Amp for Martin logan CLS Originals VTL or Manley monoblocks will drive these wild. I cannot imagine driving this speaker with anything but tubes. They are too revealing and tubes just make them sing. Long interconnects to monoblocks, short speaker wire runs. | |
| Rogers LS3/5a question I've owned Rogers and a myriad of British speakers. These do not need a great deal of wattage, however they do need very stable current. It is correct that they love tubes because the 15 ohm presents an easy load. However, hook these up to a 100 w... | |
| Does this degrade sound? This is simply circut bleed through. Very common. And yes it would be great if the opposite channel were completely silent but then that would cost more. I don't know that it degrades the sound, you simply have a small amount of the other channel ... | |
| Got $1000...how should I spend it? Forget where you've been. For a grand you cannot duplicate in any way what you had. Used market Arcam Mini Solo, Usher 520, 24" stands, you know the rest. Surprisingly good......for a grand. | |
| Recommend me a DAC for 300 Audio Sector. | |
| Need Expert Opinions On An Old System Oppo is a good suggestion for DVD/CD. Clean up everything first with Caig Deoxit and then contact enhancer. This should all work fine for now. The Rotel is probably the weak link. Decent Oppo SE version would smoke it. |
