| 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. | |
| Which Nat King Cole? Thanks everyone. Which of the high quality reissues are small jazz combo sessions without strings? I don't want the new box set because I already have one of the LP's contained within. Thanks. | |
| Audience Au-24 vs. Empirical Design Cable Review I wanted to update my review since a major system upgrade and new round of cable evaluation. Please see my virtual system for more information about the upgrades. While incorporating the new system components I decided to try some cables at a high... | |
| Wynton Marsalis I was present for one of the Blues Alley shows and could swear I hear myself in the audience! | |
| Wynton Marsalis I really like his "Soul Gestures" series of three LP/CD's. These are an exploration of the blues with several members of what will become the LCJO. He doesn't record particularly well, however. Not bad but lacking bloom and dimensionality--like de... | |
| Esoteric P03 D03 owners: To clock or not to clock Check the archives for a recent thread I initiated with the title "Esoteric Separates" which has some helpful information on these components, including clocking. |
