| Best I2s cable for the Money? I found there was a difference between the stock I2S cable that came with my Northstar combo versus an upgraded cable I purchased from Revelation Audio Labs (buyer beware - I got my cable in 2 weeks but others have had horrible experiences with th... | |
| Galibier Serac Owners: Need Opinions Since you've had no responses I'll chime in. I don't own a Serac, but nearly purchased one. It was going to replace my SOTA Nova Series V.Unfortunately the product release date kept getting pushed back due to same manufacturing delays. I ended up ... | |
| Mint LP a no go – now what? If you're up for a challenge you can try and get a Wally Tractor. I was fortunate to get mine within a month. | |
| What makes for a "great" turntable? Thanks Jaybo, it took a while to get there. I've moved backwards in time in the turntable world. However, the Beogram 4500 is still "newer" (manufactured from '89 - '93 IIRC) than all the cars I've owned in my life, all of which came from the 60's... | |
| What makes for a "great" turntable? Recently I went on eBay and ended up buying a Beogram 4500 with MMC-2 cartridge, both NIB. This table is a suspended design and while I was somewhat nervous about that, I have ended up being very pleased with this table to the point that I now use... | |

| Tel wire vs Lessloos I compared the Lessloss PC to the Tel Wire and preferred the Tel Wire. Lessloss was a bit quieter, but darker as well. Tel Wire is neutral and open. Also more flexible. I currently use 3 Tel Wire PCs in my system. BTW - Both Tel Wire and Lessloss ... | |
| Upgrade or repair Museatex products What transport are you using? Seems like the problem is there, not the DAC. I assume the DAC is locking onto the signal.If your Bidat is stock then John's updates might be something to look into. There is also some discussion of Bidat upgrades on ... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Near the entrance of the Rowland room on a table there were static displays of the Criterion and also the Capri stacked with the Model 102 stereo amp. Not sure how Stereophile could have missed the Criterion that was hooked up to the system. I'm j... | |
| What is the best analog sounding CD player $2000 No Chris you're actually on to something. Try listening to master reel-to-reel tapes on a decent tape deck. It will make you forget about LPs. Some consider this format to be the status quo in analog sound. Also, don't forget about DAT which I mig... | |
| Most overlooked part of your system? There is really no easy answer here. You can go in so many different directions. However, with some careful selections you can accomplish a lot with little investment. Dedicated lines are a good start. Go 20 amp on the dedicated line if you can. C... | |
| Good budget alternative IC's with Shindo preamp I'm using a set of Grover Huffman interconnects in my system right now. For the money they are very good. | |
| Looking for a CDP from a company that'll be around I imagine Cary, Sony and Marantz might be around in 5 - 6 years given their current status. They make some pretty decent players in your price range. | |
| Joule-Electra Destiny mono blocks, Opinions? What would you expect Jud to say? Might be best to give him a call or send him an email. I've had good luck reaching him that way. He hardly ever participates on these forums. | |
| Promitheus Ref TVC and RWA Sig 30.2 Power Amp Not sure you're going to get the best out of the Promitheus with the NAD. One option to consider is the Lightspeed attenuator. This is a passive preamp using photo-optic technology. No transformers and no resistors. I just bought one and it is eve... |
