| Teres Composite Platter, etc. I upgraded my Teres 255 (w/ Acrylic platter) to a Rosewood 320 with Composite platter. This was a large improvement for me.It's impossible to say how much of a difference the upgraded table made vs. the upgraded Composite platter since I never lis... | |
| Any insight with the Berkeley Alpha DAC ..?? I listened to the Berkeley Alpha DAC last week and came away very impressed. The setup was not optimal yet it was easily the best sound I've heard from a digital source (I'm an analog guy). The alpha DAC was being used only as a converter for a Cd... | |
| Zappa plays Zappa On a somewhat related topic, is there a good vinyl pressing of Overnite Sensation? I've bought two different versions off of ebay with very disappointing results.They are easily the worst recorded/mastered records in my entire vinyl collection.I a... | |
| Dynaudio C1 + Mcintosh 275 amp, do they match? I'm driving my C1's beautifully with a "50 Watt" EL34-based Lectron tube amp. Prior to owning my Lectron, I was driving the C1's with a Simaudio I-7 Solid State (150 Watt) Integrated Amp.I've had no problems driving the C1's with either or these a... | |
| Shindo VS Doshi I am a fairly recent Doshi owner so I may not have the wealth of experience that others have. However, I have yet to listen to a single tube combination in which the Alaap doesn't fantastic. (i.e. I don't think you can go wrong with whatever you c... | |

I tried ordering some a couple of months ago and they were out of stock. After trying again a month... | |

| 12 inch tonearms RE: damaged review sampleI'd be happy to take the damaged review sample off your hands ;-).Seriously, though, I read the review and thought the reviewer didn't have a clue. His only negative comments appear to come from the fact that the Schroeder... | |
| Stupid?? Phono Pre question...break in I found that mine (Gold Reflex) required more than just leaving it on for 72 hours. Mine gradually and continually sounded better after listening for about 3 weeks.I also tried speeding up the burn-in process by hooking up my CD player to the phon... | |
| Best USB DAC implimenting I2S under $2.5K? The Musical Fidelity X-DACv8 has a USB port (I2S?) input on its DAC. This DAC is well below US$2500.I evaluated this very combination (MacBook Pro as a transport feeding a MF X-DACv8) a few months ago hoping that the sound would be able to replace... |
