| yamaha DVD-S1500: mod it, DAC it or trash it? Give the non-os DACs a whirl. There are plenty of good ones out there at very reasonable prices and many are offered on a trial basis so you won't have much risk involved. | |
| Has anyone heard the modified TRL/Sony DVP-NS900V I haven't received mine yet. I will post something when I get it. | |
| Are there any budget tubed preamps that stand out Good call on the Dodd basic. I am going to order his battery preamp, but the basic should be an excellent value for a budget preamp. I'd also recommend AES and a used EE Minimax appears to go for under $700. | |
| Cable suggestions for new system? I also like the RSAD cables. They are well constructed and provide a nice transparent and smooth presentation. Lately, I have also been enjoying the Oritek X-1 and X-2 cables. The X-1s are an excellent value for the price. | |
| Phono stage as good as CJPV-11? If you're running MM only I would keep the preamp and use it as your phono stage. I did something similar once and used the tape output of my preamp w/phono into one of the integrated amps inputs. Worked fine with a MM cartridge. If you decide to ... | |
| best phono-stage for 1200$ max. A Mitch Singerman modified EAR834P may work for you depending on what the rest of your system consists of. | |
| Phono amp recommendations I have a Hagerman Trumpet and use it with a K&K Audio step-up. It provide loads of warmth, especially with NOS tubes. The Hagerman Coronet is no slouch either at half the price. However, if I had to do it all over again, the K&K Audio tube... | |
| Power Cords on a $1000 budget what would you do? I think you'll enjoy those cables. Now, are you really sold on the Richard Gray? | |
| I hear the radio..... on my turntable... help I had similar issues and had to move the TT and phonostage to the floor in order to get rid of the station. Cheater plugs did not work for me.What phonostage are you using? Tube or solid state. Sometimes RFI can get into the system via tubes as well. | |
| Best power cords in the $250-$400 range? In this price range VH Audio Flavor power cords are an excellent value. | |
| Modwright 9.0se vs Cary SLP-98P I have heard both preamps. I owned the Cary and have heard the Modwright in another system. Tvad's description of the Modwright's sonic signature is accurate. I would say the Cary in stock form is more musical with lush mids, softer bass, and very... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? I wish you the best of luck Alex. I'm a humanitarian at heart and from what I understand you'll need it. | |
| Anyone compare Cary V12 amp to CJ MV60SE Charding,I was driving a pair of Spendor 1/2e speakers with my Cary. In light of your clarification I would agree with Aronss that you could get what you need from thr V12. As to the statement that the V12R is significantly better than the V12i, I... | |
| Biamping Question Jsadurni,Thanks for the information and links. Yes the Spendors are well known for the midrange. The EVS attenuators use a 10K nude Vishay. I also have a pair of Endler attenuators that use a 4k Yageo resistor. I can hook these up to the inputs of... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? Based on Alex's last two posts, it wouldn't surprise me to see a totally re-engineered iPod coming from APL-HiFi in the future - for the low, low, price of $4995 no less. |
