| CD-player for $1100 - Can I do any better? Tonyptony - There are several great threads here on PC audio. Also, Audioengr (Steve Nugent from Empirical Audio) is an expert in this area and has excellent information on his website. I suggest you check this out. I heard a couple of Squeezebox ... | |
| PreAmp repair s SoCal Mitch Singerman in LA might be someone worth calling. He does repairs on lots of different gear. If he can't help you he probably could give you other options. | |
| CD-player for $1100 - Can I do any better? The Sony DVP-NS900V modified by TRL is a good option if you can find one. You may also want to call TRL and talk to them about modding your existing CDP, or perhaps let them recommend other CDPs that with mods would fit your budget. I know they ha... | |
| What are the best drop in subs for a 12AU7?? RCA Cleartops from the '50s work for me. Andy at VTS has an excellent slection of them. Very low noise.I also just acquired a pair of Amperex Bugle Boys and am looking forward to hearing the comparison to the RCA. | |
| Need interconnects for new cd player I'm buring in a pair of the Auricle Audio cables right now on my DAC to preamp. Out of the box they had the element of detail that Listener57 describes. I have about 40 hours on them and I feel they are still a bit bright, especially on cymbals. A... | |
| SEEKING A QUALITY CDR I have tried the following at various points in time:HHB Gold and SilverMSFL GoldApogee GoldMitsui Gold and SilverQuantegy GoldMemorex BlackI can say that Mitsui Gold has been the best of the lot on a consistent basis. There are some HHB recording... | |
| What should I do with unwanted vinyl? I'd be interestd in taking them off your hands. Email me if you like and give me an idea of what you have available. | |
| Newbie Tubie just wants insight and direction.... My preamp inverts polarity and as such I swap the speaker connections on the amp side. However, polarity can be inverted on front end source equipment (like DACs), amps, and from speaker cross overs as well (actually experienced the last one unexp... | |
| Mullard CV4004 I purchased some CV4004s and found the same results as Zinfan2. However, just recently purchased a matched quad of Mullard ECC83 tubes from 1959 and these sound fantastic. Sometimes it all depends on who you buy them from. The vendor in CA I bough... | |
| any feedback on the grace 901/902 dac ? The grace is a headphone amp with a built in DAC. It is primarily used in pro applications from what I gather. One nice feature is the USB input. Not sure what the quality is like however, I'm still looking in to that. | |
| TRL Audio Mirror D1 Signature Let me know what you think of it. Also, if you like it and after a while of use want to get more mileage out of it, give TRL a call. They'll take it to well beyond the next level. | |
| TRL Audio Mirror D1 Signature Joeylawn36111,The modified unit requires the extended burn-in. The D2 should be good to go after 200 or so hours. | |
| Hard Drive based system Ecruz,You're just about there. It will get somewhat better over the next few hundred hours, but in smaller steps. Most of the wide scale changes have occurred.I have to send my Alesis in for updates that Paul made to his. Then I'll be sending in m... | |
| Transistor Research Labs ST-225 Integrated amp Jack,Same here with the D-225. I can't seem to pull myself away. Interesting point though on the First Sound (Paul sure gets around, heard he's designed for George Cardas, as well as FIM and others). My Joule Electra is not marked as well, nor doe... | |
| SOTA Star, Grado Refrence arm and XTZ MKV Cart Chadlinz,What a great gift. You're going to have a lot of fun with this set-up. Hopefully you have some set-up tools to give you some guidance on VTF and cartridge alignment. As Rushton mentions for fine tuning VTF and VTA just rely on your ears. ... |
