| Adding Esoteric G-03X Clock to X03-SE cd player Fafafion - I don't question that you hear what your hear, but I was wondering how you could possibly know what MOST Esoteric users in Japan were purchasing and how they match their systems? Just curious. | |
| suggestions on small footprint phono stages I think the Pro-ject Tube Box II SE sounds better than the GCPH I owned for a short while. MM/MC and sufficient loading options for the non-fanatic. Subsonic filter too, if you need it. I replaced the stock tubes with Black Sable Tung Sol and it s... | |
| MUSE Erato II - Anyone using this player? Maybe Roy Gregory has the only one. | |
| turntable recommendations for a vinyl newbie... I agree with T-Bone in that a cheap tt with thrift shop records may end up a big waste of time, but I still maintain that a new MMF-5 (There's one up from Underwood) at a good price, and a bunch of new records from Better Records or Acoustic sound... | |
| turntable recommendations for a vinyl newbie... If you know little about vinyl, and I'm assuming you don't want to (or can't) employ the services of a good dealer (which you should) I suggest buying a Music Hall MMF5 and about 10 new records from Acoustic Sounds and see how you like dealing wit... | |
| Got $1000...how should I spend it? Agree for the most part with Bongofury - consider a decent headphone setup. Perhaps start with a nice CD player with a headphone output and then add a modest separate headphone amp as funds permit. As an added bonus, you won't be able to hear her ... | |
| Sound Anchor Blue Dots or BluTack?? I second (or third) the opinion that every stand-coupling method will yield a different sound in a resolving system. With my Harbeths on Skylans, Herbies Dots were by far the best. With my Operas on Targets, Blue Tak sounds the best to me. Keep in... | |
| good stand speakers with good low end "I always thought I would get better bang for the buck with stand mound speakers vs lower end floor standing units." Not really - remember that you have to figure in the cost of the stands, and good stands cost at least $200 minimum. Judge by the ... | |
| Iam a NEWBIE in analog, will someone help me You didn't even listen to the BAT and you're thinking about changing tubes? A true audiophile. As long as you're asking for advice, if possible, (and I know it's not always possible)buy your cartridge from a local VPI dealer and have him set up th... | |
| good stand speakers with good low end Do you actually intend to put the speakers in a bookshelf? If not, floorstanders take up no more room than standmounts. About 1 square foot of floor space. If you do want monitors in your price range, check out Fritzspeakers. High-quality stuff at... | |
| Bring on the criticism... If you enjoy it, there's nothing wrong with it at all. I'm all for anyone having anything they want as long as I don't have to pay for it. | |
| Bring on the criticism... Now you can tell Van Halen they don't have to bring their PA when they come by. | |
| Tweeters I really don't think you can predict the sound of a speaker based on the type of tweeter used. There are just too many variables in the design. The type of enclosure, the crossover, the placement of the tweeter in the cabinet and other variables m... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Well, I don't know much about Ipods, but if you're saying that more expensive players sound better than cheaper players of the same generation, I agree with you. | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 Tgyeti - point of this thread is that the Sony is the best player under $10K. If that's true, the Sony should be as good as the EMM. The Sony is a nice machine that does a lot of things well, but it doesn't cost 10K or sound like it does. Or 8K or... |
