| Need Advice / Inexpensive 100W Amp I would have to second the HCA-1000 - a very good amp at this price point. | |
| Rowland 8TiHC vs. Lamm M1.1 Jmr, You made an interesting observation about the MC6. One thing that JRDG mentioned over the phone was the reason why the 8TiHC sounds better than the 8Ti is that there are more output devices and so each device is less "stressed." I believe (I ... | |
| Rowland 8TiHC vs. Lamm M1.1 Chriskh - Yes. Please do excuse my english. It was late at night when I posted and half a sleep. | |
| Rowland 8TiHC vs. Lamm M1.1 Jmr, I am also considering a Lamm 1.1 or a Rowland 8TiHc. Recently I have been also looking at the MC6 by Rowland. It allows you to vertical bi-amp and gives you an 8Ti in a more flexible package. Has anybody heard anything about the MC6 - good or... | |
| Help to chose equipment rack There has been a lot of discussion here about shelf material and isolation/absorption. Take a look at the isolation/absorption thread and the shelf material threads. They are very interesting and may be of help to you in your search for a rack. Ch... | |
| JM Lab Mezzo Utopia ? As much as I hate this (as I own B&W 802s) you might want to see if you can listen to a pair of Revel Salons. They are in your price range and you might be able to get the same discount. - Cheers, Dan | |
| Marantz SA-1 SACD player....worth it ? One more thing ... Just talked to Audiophile Systems and they said dCS is planning on using the IEEE 1394 (aka Firewire) Interface between the SACD transport and the Delius/Elgar DAC. So dCS has chosen a standard interface, but now it remains to b... | |
| Marantz SA-1 SACD player....worth it ? I have the Purcell and the Delius so I am biased, but with that many CDs I would seriously consider buying a used Delius/Purcell combo. dCS's service after the sale is outstanding. Later when dCS releases the new SACD Transport you will have both ... | |
| Best speaker a wife would tolerate B&W 802 Nautilus - people either love em or hate em. Fortunately my wife loves the look and we both love the sound. | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion I second Dekay's last post. If it is a custom shelf then please post the details for the benefit of all. I have a MGD (metal threaded rods with the MDF Shelves) and maybe I could replace the MDF shelves with the Neuance Shelves with a little tweak... | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Red and Dekay, Do you think a Seismic Sink would also work in isolating the Neuance Shelf from MDF or does it make things worse? I have my CAL Delta on top of the Sink now. - Dan | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Red, I thank you for taking the time to share your listening experiments with us. I (among many others here I am sure) am very greatful. - Dan | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Great advice Dakay. Thanks a bunch. - Dan | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Thanks DeKay. Good to know that I will not have to replace my MDF with other material. So did you spike the maple directly into the MDF or did you use a plate of some kind to keep the spikes from embedding themselves? - Dan | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Redkiwi, Sorry I am confused again. I think this thread is great. Please clarify this for me... You said don't MDF if you can at all help it, but if you must use MDF (as I have to in my MGD JustaRacks) then use hard damped cones between the MDF an... |
