| CD-Receiver Recommendations You pay the piper but Naim looks really nice.You pay piper on cost but look what you get.My only consideration laying out that kind of money is to be the "new" format outright or some tech coming down road (I see a number of high end DAC's now wit... | |
| Cables for KRC3 to KSA250? I sold Krell for 6 years.My boss didn't have them but for friends I got Cardas (as much as you can afford) tames the metallic mids inherent in Krell all the more to enjoy the fine highs and great bass grip.Cardas softens the nasties that make Krel... | |
| Matching AMP/CD for Sonus Faber Minima Vintage Good point on price (maybe Pass J).But I would god with less expensive amp and go closer to 100 rather than the 25 watts since like all SF's,though small,they can suck the power down at only 84db@8 ohm.That Mac would be great power wise but $4K?If... | |
| Bel Canto Ref 1000MK2 or Wyred SX1000MK2 Agree with Mac.You have nice amps and bit more watts won't make up for softer bass and non-class A harmonics ( and I sold B&W's for 6 years and they are already a bit warm).Clarity I'd say neither has what JC1's have.Cut down your electric bil... | |
| Which integrated Amp, Almarro,Cayin,Red Wine? Valve sound or not is first question.Red Wine will have less flexibility input and output wise but has great harmonic richness for a SS.Ask around about battery upkeep aomw have said it's no problem but I was told by former seller of Dodd Battery ... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound Dac1 vs. Dac2 Like to follow this myself.Walter is pretty straight shooter.I asked him briefly (he was at show and had limited time) about this verus the PS unit he sells for much more and he was pretty sold the $$$ value of Wyred but if you needed some of feat... | |
| VPI TNT Super Platter Best would the heavy super Harry made for a bit then dropped.but in terms of sound nothing will beat the TNTV Methycrylete/aluminum which had to be dumped from line because of cost and lead to meet EU.Spoke with Mike about taking a spare TNTV and ... | |
| Will Graphene replace Mylar? Wild how much this stuff stretches out (go getting specs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphene ) but also as semi-metal has potential for keeping Moore's Law from running out it's course because of limits inherent in silicon.it could be so think t... | |
| 8008 BB vs 4B-SST much diference with 801? Think Bryston would be better hands down.225 wpc but benches at 275 or so.A better amp and perennial bang for buck i used market.CheersChazz | |
| mid-fi to hi-fi evolution...power questions The Krell will send your electric bill up but have greatest bass "grip" if with slightly metallic mids.yeah 4 B ST would be choice.But like Threshold age is consideration so buy checked out.If you don't push them to stupid levels B&O class D i... | |
| Favorite Christmas Music and Movie 2010 "Ella Wishes You a Swinging Christmas" is my all time fave.Also bluesman Chales Brown came out with a killer CD in late 90's "CB's Cool Christmas Blues".Chazz | |
| Cat Stevens Tea for the Tillerman LP's If your a fan you might want to look for a limited edition of the full soundtrack for "Harold and Maude" Lp box that had a number of tracks only on movie soundtrack.Hoping they come out with CD of same (maybe have) because it was a like a 1000 or ... | |
| Tonearms question - Please help Sure you want DD TT?Have you heard a decent Belt Drive to compare?Yeah you have potential of less peed acccuracy but with a decent belt drive you have less rumble and a new maybe better experience/For price of replacement arm.Ask movers for cost o... | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps Oh yeah check out Deborah Brown.Great American singer who is little known.Find her "Jazz For Jazz: recording with American ex-pats Horace Parlan,Ed Thigpen,and Red Mitchell (take a listen at AMG or Amazon).Had another great LP "Eurboppin'" but imp... | |
| VPI Classic Cartridge Help Dynavector over Shelter unless you want a "tipped up" bottom and top end.The Sumiko is good at that price too.Benz I am not sure at the price point.One thing you might consider if your a heavy original jazz collector or buying the mono 45 rpm re-i... |
