| Music Fidelity E624 CD Player I would like to own the A3CD to use as a transport, but do not care for the gold and silver look. I still may reconsider when and if a $1,000.00 is available for equipment upgrades. I would like to own something new anyway so that I can put the mi... | |
| Buyer Beware! My wife has over 500 transactions on Ebay (both buying and selling) and has only had a problem with four or five auctions. All problems were resolved except two. My wife excells at clear communication. I have made three purchases at Audiogon (atte... | |
| Favorite Romantic Female Vocal Song(s)? Brenda Russell "Piano in the Dark", 1988 A&M. Also Jane Birkin "Raccrochez C'est Une Horreur" (Hello, Hello), probably more sexy than romantic. | |
| John Lennon Kkirkpa: Maybe Zappa should have his own thread? | |
| Music Fidelity E624 CD Player PS: In regard to "bass", I should note that I settled on a CAL Icon II player that has a reputation for having too much "bass". We are all looking for slightly different sounds in equipment. And again, I did like the overall sound of the player. I... | |
| Best Integrated for SF Signum? Maybe go with a good but less expensive amp (Sim or Musical Fidelity), kill the HT and spend the rest of your budget on a "good/fast" powered subwoofer for the Signums (50% amp/50% sub). The Signum/sub combo may be all that you will need for movie... | |
| Music Fidelity E624 CD Player Sean: The E624 is the same basic player as the X-Ray and the A3 Musical Fidelity players, in a different package. It is a nice sounding player, but some owners have told me that it lacks bass. I thought so too when I listened to it, but may have b... | |
| Integrated for around 1K to match with.. That splains it. | |
| Integrated for around 1K to match with.. Hwy: this is the second post mentioning the availability of the AR integrated being available used at around $1500.00. I see them more in the $2300.00 to 2500.00 price range. I do however see the Conrad Johnson CAV50 used in the $1700.00 to 1850.0... | |
| Is it ok to leave the amp on? The advice varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, for example -w- Naim - leave it it on. If I felt it necessary to power down my SS amplifier in between use, and then wait for it to warm up each time, it would be out of here and replaced with a... | |
| Any integrated using 6550 tubes... Passion Audio I-12 uses 6550's and comes assembled or as a kit. They are "said" to be slightly upgraded Antique Sound Labs amps, though the upgrades may be mostly cosmetic. | |
| Any integrated using 6550 tubes... Hey Dragon: Another thing is that if you get your West Coast vacation, I am an hour away from Kevin Deal's Upscale Audio (upscaleaudio.com). He seems to be "the tube guy" with a good rep and always seems to have a lot of used and demo gear. You gu... | |
| Any integrated using 6550 tubes... Hi Dragon: Why the 6550? My personal preference has always been EL34's for "lush" and EL84's for "refined" sound. Of course the amp's design and the rest of the system has a lot to do with it. I think that an Audio Research amp that I recently lis... | |
| ABBEY ROAD TAPE HISS I have heard that if you play the hiss backwards it says: "Paul is not really dead, he was however involved in a rather serious motorcycle accident and required extensive plastic surgery, just like Bob Dylan". | |
| "Burn in" Are you serious? To conduct an experiment with new -vs- broken in on the cheap... Pick up two sets of Radio Shack Gold IC's. They are are sold in sets of two for under $15.00 at my local RS (mine were different primary colors). Break in one set and then compare th... |
