| My girlfriend is pissed After you have demo'd your new gear for a while, put in something romantic and ask her to join you for a listen. Then tell her you had been listening all that time to find just the right romantic tune for her. If she falls for it, she's a keeper. ... | |
| DACs with volume controls Check out Monarchy Audio. They have several models with volume controls. I'm not sure if the volume control is analog or digital though. New or used, they are in your price range. | |
| SS Monoblock 100+W as cheap You might check out the Parasound HCA-1201A. It is a 150w mono amp available from Audio Advisor for $265 + shipping. Good luck and happy listening. Erik | |
| Anyone own or auditioned speakers by Legacy? I have auditioned the Studio's. They are a stand mounted monitor with an amazing furniture quality finish. The were driven with a Bryston pre/amp combo and a Theta digital front end. All cabling was Transparent. The Studio's were impressive. They ... | |
| speaker cables with a warm sound Here are the other sources in my system: Rega Planet CD via truth-links to a Continuum Audio Window pre (built by Coda/Innersound) via truth-links to the SFS-40. I don't think it's the Window, I can't identify any sonic signature to it other than ... | |
| Add-on improvement to analog-only CDP? Music Fidelity used to make an in-line tube-stage buffer called the "X-10D" or something like that. There were many rave reviews about what it could do for cd players with no digital output. I would imagine you could find one used for under $150. ... | |
| Help Cable is causing a Buzz/Hum in HomeTheatre Amp. If you isolate your television from the rest of your system, you should be okay. Mondail makes a product called the "M.A.G.I.C. Cable TV Isolator". They run about $100 and are supposed to work very well (I've never used one, but have read great th... | |
| Help with NHT 3.3 s If I'm not mistaken, the 3.3's were designed to be placed right up against the rear wall. I have a pair of VT-1.2's. I too have found that listening height makes a big difference with NHT's. Also, I think what you are hearing around the room is mi... | |
| Best and Worst Product Names I like "Quintescence Black Hole". Great name for a sub. | |
| Your favorite blues album? I know this is a bit contemporary and not purist blues, but Cowboy Junkies "Whites Off Earth Now". Amazing single take recording in a church with great natural reverb. If I'm not mistaken, it was recorded using a single stereo mike and a digital t... | |
| Sumo/Chase RLC-1 vs Golden Tube SI-50mk2 I no longer run my RLC-1. But when I did, I used it with an Adcom GFA-555 and a GCD-575 (heavily modified/tweaked). This combo is fairly bright and grainy, but played through the pair of MB Quart D-30 monitors I was using, sounded good. The D-30's... | |
| what is it like to mix tube and solid.. I run a SS pre with a tube amp. This was my approach. I found a SS pre within my budget that sounded transparent to me. Then I played with different tube complements in my amp to achieve the tonal characteristics I wanted. | |
| I am Not hurting anything right ?? There was a post here at the Gon about a particular speaker equiped for bi-wiring, but not recommended by the manufacturer. They had equiped so just to please the French market, if memory serves. Anyone remember the post I'm refering to? | |
| Sumo/Chase RLC-1 vs Golden Tube SI-50mk2 I too own a RLC-1. It's a piece I have left over from when I first got started. It is not bad as far as transparency goes, for it's price. Beware, power outages reset all your settings (i.e. tone, volume, balance). | |
| Best Log in name?? Tubegroover makes me smile every time I read it. |
