| That cool rounded-edge CD Player... It could be the Musical Fidelity X-Ray which may no longer be distributed to the US. | |
| Sand bags under a cdp - didn't work well Fpeel: I tried the tube on my Bel Canto (under a piece of MDF) and did not like the change in sound. I should be receiving a couple of sets of the least expensive Mapleshade cones later this week and will give them a try under the DAC. The Bel Can... | |
| How about a soldering thread? In my youth I used a vise called Vac-u-vise that had all types of attachments. Not for stereo gear, but to build slot car frames out of piano wire and rewire (tweak) the little armiture motors as well. I am not sure if they are still around but th... | |
| Old Timers Advice Required Correction: I am now 46 as I share the King's B-Day:-) My wife just bought me a 300B SET:-):-):-) | |
| Rega Planet vs Cal Audio Labs Icon MK II Sorry Gthirteen and not sorry Naimbrain. I should have been a little more PC in my comments about the Planet. This was just my take on it after auditioning it in two shops when I was looking for a player for my stepson. And it does depend on the a... | |
| What time do you wear? Seiko "5" 21 jewel auto, white face with arabic numbers, SS case and band (NOS from the 80's). Also have Mido Oceanstar 21 jewel auto, white dial, silver and black enamel markers, SS case -w- blue leather band that I have not seen for years, but i... | |
| Old Timers Advice Required PS: I am forty-five, is that considered old? | |
| Old Timers Advice Required Both the amp and the preamp have sold in the $350.00 to $400.00 price range in the past on Ebay. If they have been well maintained they should still sound good today. Holman also helped design the preamp phono stage of the Advent 300 receiver whic... | |
| Rega Planet vs Cal Audio Labs Icon MK II Klender: The Icon MK II (without the Powerboss/HDCD upgrade) should sell used and in very good condition for around $400-$450. That said it is a much better player than the Planet in musical accuracy while still maintaining a smooth analog quality... | |
| Best Music Review Resource Ditto: This site. The mini reviews at BMG and Columbia are hard to swallow, even many of the ones taken from pro reviews, IMO. Perhaps we could have more music threads. Audiogon does not seem to mind, though I do not think that it is what they wou... | |
| looking for an amp ??? If you go with tubes now you can save the added expense of switching to them later. I tried SS in my recent system and have had tube systems in the past. I like the convenience and the sound of my Musical Fidelity amp but long for the 3D and music... | |
| cable shopping...Help! Try the Mapleshade Clearview Ultrathin Digital @ $32.50. Or, the Clearview Double Helix Digital @ $120.00 (I use this one and am very happy with its musical yet detailed sound). The website is @(mapleshaderecords.com/tweaks). I am using it from a ... | |
| New Speakers Rwd: If possible in your area try and audition the higher end Reynaud speakers. They are all supposed to be musical instead of HiFi. I own their cheapest model and could not be happier with the sound. | |
| Do the Audio gods shine upon you? Slowhand: I experience changes for good (and bad) quite often as I live in LA where the juice is quite iffy at times. Right now the system sounds smoother, but with less detail and my computer keeps crashing. I assume that it because of continuous... | |
| Opinion on Buena Vista social club CD? There are four CD's that I am aware of (we have the first three). Plus there was a sampler CD put out by Barnes & Noble "Women of Song" that contains two singles from the latest solo CD. So, I guess that makes five CD's kind of. All are great,... |
