| The best CD Player for the money Jazz: You have a very nice system. You may want to try and audition the Linn Ikemi player. It is probably my favorite but usually sells for around $2500.00+ used. For less money the Theta Miles and Resolution Audio (I have only listened to the CD5... | |
| Best Low Volume System Drubin: The thread is titled "Attenuator Puzzles" and I assume that the company that they discuss is the same as the modified preamp that a friend of mine owns as he mentioned that the designer just had a good review of one of his preamps in a ste... | |
| Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio) I collect art, mostly primitive and whimsical paintings and some sculpture (not outsider art). I used to collect wine but no longer drink, so now I collect kitchen/cooking stuff. Right now its old Descoware, enamel covered cast iron cookware. Befo... | |
| Best Low Volume System Hi Mailman: I recently picked up a pair of the Reynaud Twins that do this trick very much like an electrostatic. This quality could probably be enhanced further if you were to use an SET type amp or perhaps a class A SS amp. Some push/pull tube am... | |
| homegrown audio super silver i.c. 2out: If it smooths out enough for you enjoy the Super Silvers for now, they are good sounding IC's and a steal at the price. I dream about my next purchase just like everyone but always try to have fun with what I have at the moment. Tonight we a... | |
| HiFi is an opinion - nothing more Hey Larry: While your still here, do you think that it is possible for a system to sound "better" than live? Think about it instead of cyphering out on us. | |
| Any Amps with Volume control?? If you can get by on 12 tube watts per channel, Audion has a little amp with one line input and a volume pot. I would call it an integrated though. It is a nice sounding amp and retails for around $1200.00. I would only buy it new as there have be... | |
| "Sizzling" tweeters at high volume? Dragen: Try listening to it in the morning, say around 10:30:-) | |
| homegrown audio super silver i.c. 2out: Yes, let us know what happens after you switch and let everything run in. If you purchased the IC's pre-made and have not exceeded 30 days, I think that they are returnable. | |
| homegrown audio super silver i.c. 2out: Some people have a problem with sibilance with this IC and some don't. I do not but have always used them on pretty smooth digital front end combinations. They need at least 200 hours of run in and still improve beyond that for another 100 h... | |
| HiFi is an opinion - nothing more Eleceng: Debate what? How big of a jerk Larry is? I also see that you trolled in around the same time he did. And what truth are you talking about? Go away. | |
| HiFi is an opinion - nothing more Yes Larryh: Why are you even at this site? Go away. | |
| The best CD Player for the money Jazze: What is the rest of your gear and your budget? For under $2000.00 used you can pretty much max out on sound quality unless you spend a lot more and for around $1000.00 you can get a very good sounding player. The choice depends on your syst... | |
| Any high-end dealers care to respond? Maybe talk to the owner(s) or even the sales people (privately) if it bothers you a lot. I worked retail gourmet food and wine for seven years and had my good and bad days. I still regret putting the customer with a speech impediment out of my sto... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3CD I use the Bel Canto DAC 1 (purchased used) with a CAL Icon MK II as a transport (I do not know if this qualifies as a good transport, but it sure sounds good to me) and find this combo to be superior to the MF A3CD as a stand alone player. Instrum... |
