| A minor rant OK.I listen to audio equipment 8 hrs a day in the hi fi shop /CD store where I work.I fail to hear 98% of what mag reviwers and even you guys here out there.Yes when I switch from the Krell AB to the class A I hear a dif.But so many grades/prices ... | |
| Forget Expensive Gel Absorbers Anybody hve any tips on isolation platform building?I think a lot of 'phile prices are BS.I know that an inner tube for a lawnmover whell can make an isolation box.But for more stabiliyt I was thinking that a few layers of hardwood with some sorbo... | |
| best ss preamp w/ remote used under 1000 Could go BAT Vk3i if you pumped up the end price.Why not a used Adcom GFP 750 as opposed to a surround one?Rave reviews from Fi and Stereophile.CJPV12 if we get back to the tube thing.Will improve the mids of that nice amp you have.But your B&... | |
| World Music: Great Suggestions, please? Anything on the Putumayo label.They all have distinctive brightly painted cover art.They are to world music what Rhino records is to re-issues.If it's bween a Putu and another label GO Putu.At least that's what we do at the record store I work at. | |
| best cd's to impress your friends with.. If they dig jazz get Mappleshade's recording of Clifford Jordan "Live at ethell's" or if you can find it (Cadence/North Country dist) get any Venus recording especially one of the Arcjie Shepp CD's (may are availible on LP and I don't care what my... | |
| Velodyne or REL or Vandersteen? Once again you guys have some good tips.Sedonds last word so far is really very interesting.I am getting to hate Sensible Sound because they go the same manufacturers over and over.But they did and interesting article on VMPS.We all know that thei... | |
| What amp to match with B W 601 s2? BTW I sell B&W's for a living and don't sell or have stock in Acurus.It's just the amp I tell my buddies who don't have the disease "audiophillia nervosa" like me and the rest of the dorks who haunt thse sites instead of doing something produc... | |
| What amp to match with B W 601 s2? Go get a used Acurus DIA 100 for $400 tops.Belive me you can't find a better sounding amp and it's built by a military contractor to specs that won't crap out after 10 years.A real brick sh*thouse. | |
| new system for beginner First get fixed in your head how much treasure you would part with.A system for $1500 can be very satisfying but you may be able to afford and justify spending that or multiples thereof for each component.Next comes qualifiers like do I want to go... | |
| I am nuts to use these speakers? Not that I think it's end all be all but Stereophile has a recommended components issue twice a year.Fi mag has a much shorter list.If your room is big enough and you have power from the Arc listen to Magnepans,B&W's,Thiels,Audio Physic,Dynaud... | |
| Decent preamp WITH tone controls I am trying to decide whther or not to sell my Mac 712 and get the 41/42.But in any case an entry level (now C15) Mac pre will give you great harmonics and the flexiblity you crave.Not the the last word in alpine clear resolution but very musical.... | |
| VPI Record Cleaner Audioguy/othersHmmm.Just wondering if 2-3 drops (!!!) in a Gla. of water is enough to be harmful.If anybody has another surficant other than dish liquid without dye let me know.BTW I told the owner of LAST the rercipie and he said it would be cool. | |
| VPI Record Cleaner Catman and Shawn are right.If you don't take it let me know and I have a buddy who will.No catch basin?Not sure.But you could just keep the drain tube open into a plastic jug.Never worried about it and when I had problem with mine the tech at VPI ... | |
| Krell enters the world of SACD ? And lest we all forget that the greed-heads out there pushing DVD-audio want to watermark it and maker it low- rez five chanel.Just say NO!!!!!!!! | |
| Upgrading bose 301's .. the next step ? Screw the 602's new for $600 and used for $400.Get a pair of B&W 805 Matrix III's for $800-1K.602's are too bloated on botom.Late Model 805's or a pair of Joseph 7's.If you had 100 plus SS watts than the Maggies would be great.But you will wan... |
