| DAC woes - what to do You want expensive sound, but only want to spend $1K? It doesn't work. No matter what anyone tells you about the latest cheap-dac wonder. Yes, you can buy some very decent stuff for $1K, but you had a good 1K dac and you weren't satisfied - Therei... | |
| Elrod Statement Gold X2 or Purist 25 Anniversary Maybe someone strangled him with a Purist power cord during one of his comparisons in which he taught everyone at the show how to get the best sound. Probably someone from Purist. | |
| Speaker for my Ampzilla Amp and Pre-Amp For that kind of music, I would check out the Tekton Pendragon. I think the guy that makes them is a drummer, so I'm sure they'll have a lot of impact, which I assume is what you're looking for. If you can cough up a few more bucks, I would look i... | |
| mold removal I would imagine that a decent record-cleaning fluid like Pure2 with a little bleach could kill the mold on the records. Then follow up with some straight Pure2 to remove the bleach/fluid combo. I would personally forget the sleeves and just replac... | |
| Greatest song titles.. Sweat From My Balls - CB4. Great song too. | |
| switch from Tekton 6.5t to Tekton mini Lore? Bass is a funny thing. It's all dependent on how the speaker works with your room. Sometimes a smaller speaker will give a more satisfying bass response than a larger one because of the way it interacts with the room. IMO, in the average living ro... | |
| Buying from first time seller I wouldn't do it unless you could do a pickup. There are too many people out there who make a living by fraud. Not worth the grief. There is nothing this guy is selling that can't be gotten from somebody more reliable. | |
| Any Recommendations on Custom Speaker Stands? Skylan could probably do that for you. They build out of MDF, but it looks nice. | |
| Most compatible phono pre for Lyra Delos I think the Linn Linto is a very good buy on the used market, if you can live without the idea of loading switches. The Linto has a fixed loading that works fine with most MCs. It is compact, quiet, ultra-reliable and is not bright or forward, IMO... | |
| Gingko Isolation platforms I think there is this knee-jerk assumption by audiophiles that components can't sit on their own feet. As you have experienced, adding aftermarket footers can cause you to lose bass or whatever. If the system is muddy, this can be a blessing, but ... | |
| Revel Salon 2 or Raidho You might consider spending the money on a good preamp. Perhaps the Levinson to match your amp. A good preamp can transform a system, IMO. It's not just a volume control. | |
| OPPO BLU RAY PLAYERS In a few years, the Oppo, assuming it still works, will be used to play the millions of CDs and DVDs already in existence. Or, the 105 will be used as a DAC to play music through a computer source or whatever is going on at the time. Also, who say... | |
| Naim Nait 5i Assistance Please I suggest you pose this question to the Naim Forum. They will assist you in getting over this illness. | |
| The Power of Assumptions @ the OP - forgetting about audio for a moment, how did that speech relate to "leadership"? | |
| experiencing distorted playback with Benz Ruby 2 Well, I'm glad you got everything sorted out. Now, all you need is a decent phono stage. :) |
