| VPI Setup - What Happened? Wow, you folks nailed it. The diamond is missing. No point in looking for it...Elisabeth, I think the whole house is tilted after crawling around under the house! But the magnetic field must also be altered as a used a good old fashioned level.Gue... | |
| Oppo 95 worth the up grade from Oppo 83 SE? I own both a 83SE and a 95. I sold a Perfectwave DAC to pick up a BDP95. Both units sounded like crap until some hours were on them. No surprise there.So I waited till the ~500 hour mark before I made a direct comparison.It's not a really a fair A... | |
| Oppo Nuforce BDP-93NE I've ben looking at the BDP95 to replace my BDP-83SE hotrodded unit. It would also replace a 3K DAC. It turned out that my hotrodded 83SE simply sounded better than my very nice DAC. But and there's a but to this. The 3K DAC has a better soundstag... | |
| Moon CD3.3 vs Ayon CD2s Me too. My PS Audio PW DAC digs more information from my music library and the soundstaging is a bit better than my Oppo 83SE (hotrodded). But the Oppo simply sounds better. Go figure. Now I'm looking at the Ayon CD2S or the CD5 as a CD player, an... | |
| a good pre amp with remote usd6000 or less used I purchased a Allnic L3000 about a month ago and couldn't be happier. Coupled with my lowly Oppo BDP83SE driven through the Pass X350.5 I'm hearing the most musical presentation I've ever heard. Even a concert volumes and above, it no longer hurts... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... I'm listening to Zero 7. I believe this is Sia's first band and if you don't know who Sia is, then go backward from this jewel.Very melodic, easy going but nice recording and a great find. | |
| Allnic L3000 need help with tubes Actually what the problem was is broken brain cells. My 1 year old who's passion is performance audio (just like his daddy) is constantly loitering around daddy's equipment (today we buy the barrier). So the Allnic's volume control was pegged full... | |
| Allnic L3000 need help with tubes Well, I figured out how to change the tubes. The Allnic comes with a special tube puller. That did the job. Didn't notice much of a change changing tubes but an hour later I noticed a hum. I played with cables going from balanced to single ended a... | |
| Tyler Decades Not much press but how good? The Decades are in. See pics of these speakers in my system profile. They are far more elegant in person than in the pics in Ty's website. A really good look. Check it out.The speakers are burning/breaking in. They've been all over the place in so... | |
| Vandersteen 5As...first impressions I love it when somebody who's invested so much time and money gets the reward.Congrats on a great speaker and better synergy. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Picked up a Robin Trower album for $1.00. It's called Passion.I think I played it 5 times today. Awesome. I remember I had this LP 30 plus years ago but don't know what happened to it.Wife loves it too. Play "No time" even if you don't..Excellent ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Well, it would be last night.Neil Young "Old Ways"Beatles "Magical Mystery Tour"Bryan Ferry "Boys and Girls" | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Just got my sub back from repair. My new (used) turntable took out my sub on first hookup! 4 weeks without my Fathom F113 and speakers that only go down to 50HZ :(So first up was Shiny Toy Guns "Season of Poison" followed by David Gilmoure "Live i... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Sia "Some People Have Real Problems". Listen to the cut "Beautiful Calm Driving".She has got to have, hands down, one of the finest, sexiest, purest voices I've ever heard. Someone else mentioned this CD and I looked at it and said, no way am I go... | |
| Dialing in my analog rig - Need help Thanks stops, that's an easy look. As it is, I basically "rescued" my needle and took what the VPI would give me in terms of height where it seemed it lacked. I don't think I can go any higher which is odd to me.Well I must be high anyway.I've bee... |
