| Mark Levinson 30.5/31.5 vs Wadia 861se Teajay: Great thread you started there. I liked the idea of flavors vs. a "best" since we (should) all know there is no "best". In the end it is a matter of personal taste. I have not heard any of the "reference" DACS in my system but my little Th... | |
| Best value table/arm/cart combo? I would second the VPI Scout/JMW 9 recommendation. Great tables backed by a solid company. You can upgrade when or if you ever feel the urge. I would look at the ZYX, Grado wood bodies, or the Dynavector carts. FWIW I am not a big fan of Rega tabl... | |
| Not another which is best but, I need help w/CDP Thanks for all the suggestions so far. Has anyone compared the Marantz or Rotel units to the Sony SCD777? Chris | |
| which balanced preamp to recomend? ARC LS25II | |
| Ayre C5xe or APL 3910 ? I auditioned the Ayre in my system and thought it was the best thing I had heard. I have not heard ANY modded players though. Other players I Have auditioned are ARC CD3II, Cary (I forget the model (it's the one before the very newest out now)), L... | |

| does anybody still listen Great thread. I find myself getting into ruts and playing the same few records all the time. I like Lugnuts idea of having friends pick out what records to play. I'll probably hear some syuff that I havn't listened to in years. | |
| I finally bought a record cleaning machine $ Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions. I tried taking the opposite approach and vacuming the records more instead of less and it has made a difference........... Things are as they I thought they should be REALLY QUIET.... Wa Hoo!!! I h... | |
| I finally bought a record cleaning machine $ Thanks for your thoughts so far guy's. Albert, I'm sure the records aren't damaged........... the noise isn't a real loud crackle ar anything, more like a background kind of distortion or static (and it happens on new and older stuff that I have o... | |
| Has anyone recovered thier Maggies?? Thanks for the info everyone. I will probably just order the stock covering from Magnapan and go from there. I was really worried as to whether this was something I could do myself, or whether I had to send the speakers back to the factory (not so... | |
| Amp for Dynaudio Special 25 I don't know if a tube power amp is something you would want to consider but I had really good results with my ARC VT200. I had my 25's in my second system powered by a Classe' amp (which sounded really nice BTW)but when I hooked them up to my mai... | |
| Best of Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan It's hard to go wrong with any of these fine women.... Personal favorites of mine are: Billie Holiday "Songs for Distingue Lovers (later) or basically any of her earlier Columbia small band stuff, Try the Ella/Ellington records (really cool stuff)... | |
| Cheap volume for large room I agree with Btstrg.......... I have Prodigy's (and think they are stunning BTW) in a room that is a lot smaller and can only wish for something like yours. I think with some treatments on the walls and in the corners you could have something spec... | |
| eggleston andra II efficiency? I have heard Wilson Sophia's, which I thought sounded great. They are a pretty easy load and one your Thor's should be very happy with. Although I have never heard them, Merlin speakers have a very loyal following and are pretty efficient too. BTW... | |
