| CD or DVD player to use as a transport Look for a factory refurbished Cambridge CXC transport on Ebay for ~$300 or so. I have one and it's very good for the price. I highly doubt anything in that price range would be better. | |
| What sends shivers down your spine when you play it on your system? Sounds of the Haunted House. Anyone remember that one?A Disney recording. | |
| Aries Cerat Helena or Mola Mola Tambaqui? Just one more thing that may or may not matter. I checked out the Helene on YouTube and it looks to be huge. OK if you have the room and the back for it, but size and weight may be a factor in your decision. | |
| Aries Cerat Helena or Mola Mola Tambaqui? I highly doubt if you’re going to run into many people (if any) who have compared these 2 dacs side by side. Personally, I would never buy a very expensive product without audition. If I were you, I would go with something you can hear first. You... | |
| RIP - Aretha Franklin Martin and Lewis broke up? | |
| what are your cartridge set up go to I use the alignment template that came with my Basis Vector arm, but this magnifying, lighted headpiece is fabulous. Gets you up close, well-lit and fits over eyeglasses. And it's cheap.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073S5DQXG/ref=oh_aui_det... | |
| Phono stage or pre Amp? which is most important. As an ex-Naim person, the biggest improvement you can make to a Naim system is to upgrade the power supplies if possible. I had a 202, but I don't recall if you can use a hi-cap with it. If you can, pick one up and your whole system would be ele... | |
| Power strips- too many choices You're right - there are too many choices, IMO, the Audience is a very safe bet and I have never heard a bad word about them from anyone. There is an AR12 for sale at about $2500 and they are great pieces - no, not as good as their teflon cap mo... | |
| Okay, How Important Is Speaker Break In? (Dynaudio Contour 60i) A harsh midrange can be one of the worst traits a speaker can possess and that's why buying without audition is a total crapshoot. While audition is not always possible, it is, IMO, impossible to "research" a speaker through reviews or online pos... | |
| To use Auric Illuminate or not. Since you're only using 2-3 drops per side, there's no harm in using it to treat both sides as per the instructions. Is it necessary? Who knows. I wouldn't get that hung up on it. If you're going to buy this type of product, you might as well u... | |
| Hola Audio Springs DAC repair Just a shot - are you connecting to a preamp phono input by any chance? | |
| Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good? I don’t know what the return policy is, but assuming it’s 30 days, leave it in your system for 2 weeks, listen to a lot of your favorite music and then switch back. You should have a very good idea of whether you’ve improved the sound or not after... | |
| Placing turntable on top of fireplace mantle? I'll let you know as soon as I've reviewed the blueprints and the engineering reports. | |
| New WIREWORLD Eclipse 8 series FULL REVIEW The series 7 cables also are excellent and can be had at reduced prices. I am using a Gold Starlight 7 digital cable with solid silver conductors and it sounds great to me. | |
| Is Modern Jazz an Oxymoron? It's like any other age and genre. There's some great music out there and a lot of crap. Check out this clip of Jeff "Tain" Watts' group playing very modern composition in 2011. It's a very difficult piece of music with changing tempos in every... |
