| Redgum amplifiers I was pretty impressed with that amp when I heard it. Great value and glad to hear you are enjoying it. | |
| Memory Players Is it really that simple Steve? If so, what are all of the problems and complications with PC sourced audio that I’m always reading about. And why do so many who have tried, return to their CDP’s in frustration, saying it’s not ready yet.I was a s... | |
| Can Vandy's get along with cats? My cats have coexisted nicely with speakers, one of them going on 19 years now with only one incident. One day while listening to music she just up and decided to jump on top of my speaker. She gave me that look like she knew it was not the right ... | |
| Passive preamp recommendation to my system I was able to find specs on your amp (47k ohm input impedance/1.4V sensitivity) but not complete specs on your player (I could only find it has 2V output). Given what I have found and based on the designers minimum requirements, if your player's o... | |
| Need Mac Mini Server set up advice I had a similar issue with XLD as well. The way it works on my MacBook at this point is I moved the XLD icon to the dock. When I click on it you can the drop down menus on the top navigation bar next to the Apple icon. Then when you load a CD in t... | |
| Resolution Audio - Cantata There is so much to read on computer audio these days it is almost impossible to determine where to begin. For me, with a small collection of CDs I ripped them to the HD using XLD and AIFF format. Using some of the tweaks from a few MAC tuning gui... | |
| Room Treatments I use a number of room treatment products including those from Real Traps and the defunct Eighth Nerve. I do agree they can provide improvements in sound if set up properly. The last part being the key as it can be easy to over treat a room, espec... | |
| Resolution Audio - Cantata Disclaimer: I am a Resolution Audio dealer.I also at one time had a Northstar combo in which I used the Revelation Audio I2S cable. It was quite a nice digital front end considering I am an analogy person first and foremost. I kept it for a few ye... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? With the Luxman amp you might want to try the Dodd Audio tube buffer. It gets quite a bit of praise from those who have tried it. In fact, there are some really nice solid state buffers out there as well, namely the Pass B1 and the Horn Shoppe Tru... | |
| Does your system take you there or...? Good point Rok2id. I'd also say that the recording plays a big part in how we might perceive the presentation as well. | |
| Best kt88 for VAC Avatar Super Been there done that bought the T-shirt. For the record I even did comparisons of three different types of EL-34 output tubes, including NOS Siemens, in my Avatar. Stayed with the VAC tested Shuguang tubes. I used NOS Mullards for the signal and p... | |
| Best kt88 for VAC Avatar Super As for Kevin's recommendations, with due respect, equipment manufacturers use tubes which represent a reliable supply for them (followed by reasonable cost) but are not always the 'best' tube of that type.I would tend to agree with this statement... | |
| Best kt88 for VAC Avatar Super I always followed Kevin's recommendations for tube replacement and bought all output tubes from VAC. | |
| Spendor and Tubes I guess I'll be the dissenter. I preferred a 225 watt solid state amp with my Spendor 1/2e speakers versus the Cary V12i that I also tried with them. | |
| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? Agree on the Western Electric. |
