| Help/Major Problem DavidNow that your problem is fixed let's get to the important issue where did you find those Ludes? | |
| VPI or Basis? Isn't the word that VPI is a more "lush" sounding table?I have an extended full blown aries and I dig it but from what I read their are tables that may be more rhythmic and Basaii may be one of 'em.Mike their gives a good argument for the Basis.Wh... | |
| Small balanced monoblocks I am intersted in hering the Plinius Class A stuff.Posts on audioreview.com are ga ga.These Bel Canto digital amps are getting the rave too.Youmay not need to spend that whole wad and get something decent.Oh yeah one guy who owns a shop say's the ... | |
| What self powered speakers of my PC? If you want it to sound really good (say if you are going to get on line radio etc) find a used pair of AR powered partners and get the smallest YST-80 Yamaha sub."Cour we'd be talikng $150 just for the sub.I hear that Altec lansing and Harmon Kar... | |
| A good 2ch preamp? P.S another good choice would be a a CJ PV10 or 12 tube preamp.Will soften any harshness of a SS and give you the goods.PV10's can be had for $450-650 add a couple of hundred for the PV12.Pre-amps can give tht great tube sound but the tubes don't ... | |
| A good 2ch preamp? I third the recomendation for the used Gfp-750.And mates nicely if you ver need power with the 5802 (300 watt) amp.The CD player means a true balanced signal path all the way through.Also can't remember the dodel number but NAD (118?) used has bal... | |
| Monitor speakers - choices to narrowed down to... Oh yeah.Stands.Sound Anchors.Call owner Bob warzalla and pick his ample brain.I think he ended up knowing more about certain speakers than tyhe companies that desiged them.Chazzbo | |
| 15 amps or 20 amps outlet I was told by the more informed I might want to do this if I stop renting and build for my Mesa Baron with the Hubbles.Get some feedback if the PS outlets are worth it at $50 a pop.PS told me they are rated to true 20 ans actaully perform up to 40... | |
| Monitor speakers - choices to narrowed down to... Just following up on the Thiel thing.If that's your cup o' tea fine.I like a brite speker but not that brite.I just got a set of Audio PhysicSparks for a buddy.For the $2-2.5K list they deliver with mids have bass and don't take up much more space... | |
| Best CD-R Recorder--Tascam, HHB, Marantz, Sony??? Freind of mine who writes for a paper contatced Mike fremer and he swore by the marantz.I bought fostex cause it had balanced in/outs which i never used but ina club or atudio situation you can get a long run with no distortion.Mine takes 4 min to... | |
| Which record brush? Unless you want to pony up for a Alsop and the (constant) replacement pads.But I suggest it as a wet system if you aren't going to get a Vac machine.Pre-clean with my Alsop so I don't contaminate my felt lips on my VPI 16.5.Maybe the Hunt then Als... | |
| Analog newby question I had a B&OI turntable that looked great and sounded like crap.As I collected jazz CD's obsesively I found that many titles were not availible on CD whereas I'df see them in the record bin.I bought a Rega Planar 3 with one of their cart's.I co... | |
| buying a stereo for my 16 yr. old READ THIS DAD!USED 2 chanel reciever unless he wants surround sound in his college dorm room than I sugest a Yamaha RXV420 ($300) with a single play DVD (less repair worries).If he/she wants a carousel player $200 gets a Onkyo Integra w/3 year war... | |
| A reasonable integrated w/ remote - possibly tube? Depends on what tubes you want to use too.A used piece which runs EL34's is going to give you mid magic like a CJ or a VTL and the Rogue can give you the KT88 slam and bass.Nice to be able to switch from inexpensive 6550's or choose the pricey 88'... | |
| Speaker vs. Room Size Check out the Joseph 7's.A monitor with decent bass that won't set you back as much as 805's. |
