| Headphone Tutorial Very helpful guys--thanks. How does the listening experience compare via good quality headphones versus via good quality loudspeakers? Do you still get all the spatial cues that are part of a good two channel setup? What about bass response--const... | |
| Which Modwright 36.5 owner can help me out? I doubt you will be able to answer this question with any certainty. The remote control operates a motorized pot which does not increase or decrease the volume level exactly the same amount with every push of the button. Even a quick "click" of th... | |
| whole house surge protector? I bought mine direct--just Google the company and give them a call. I dealt with the owner (cannot remember his name). Excellent guy, easy sale and great support. | |
| Differences Between Esoteric SACD Players Teeshot: I'm not sure if this means anything but I also like Dan's stuff (and own the LS36.5 and KWA150) and chose the Esoteric X-03SE because it sounded great and is built like a tank. Their transports are unsurpassed and operating the machine ma... | |
| whole house surge protector? Check out an Environmental Potentials (I think the model is) 2050. Installed on your panel it not only protects your audio equipment (and every other thing that is plugged in at home) but also eliminates hash and grunge in your AC lines. I have on... | |
| Inexpensive CD Player Anyone have experience with the Cambridge Audio 550C? | |
| Dynavector 20x2 High or Low Output? Yes, Inna you are correct. My post wasn't clear--my point is that perhaps the OP's funds are better invested in the phonostage rather than a new cartridge. That the little OC9MLII run into the Herron outperforms the $2K Dyna into the Whest opened ... | |
| Fan in Audio Research tube pre-amp No fan in the LS26 and I suspect not in any of the other preamps you list. Tube preamps typically do not run hot enough to require a fan. Tube amps, including ARC models like the Ref 110 do have a fan as do some of their solid state amps like the ... | |
| Dynavector 20x2 High or Low Output? What would your recommendation at $750-1k ?Not sure what you are using for a phonostage but quite possibly you would be better of spending the bulk of the above total upgrading there and leave $250 or so for a good quality but not insanely priced ... | |
| Inexpensive CD Player Good suggestions all--thanks. I had a RCD-971 for a while and liked it so that would be a good option if I can find one that is in good shape. Albert--I guess I should clarify my OP. What I meant was that while my sister is a music lover, she is n... | |
| Quality In Wall Speakers Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I may have him (and his wife?) convinced to try free standing speakers instead. We shall see.... | |
| Phono Input or new Phono preamp? I can speak from experience to one aspect of you post, having gone from a 20XH to a 20XM (1mv) Dynavector on my Scout some time ago. Sonically, the two cartridges are very, very similar. The XM may be a bit quicker and more detailed. The XM also c... | |
| Which Nat King Cole? Got to hear "After Midnight" on a friends system last night. Really outstanding recording! | |
| Which Nat King Cole? Thanks, folks. I'll give "After Midnight" a whirl. | |
| PSB Synchrony One or Vienna Acoustic Baby Grands? I have heard both (my friend has the PSB's and the other I heard at a hifi shop). Honestly, I do not care for either of these speakers. Of course this is a very personal decision but for me I'd look elsewhere. |
