| REVIEW: McCormack MAP-1 six-channel preamp I didn't know there were such players. | |
| REVIEW: McCormack MAP-1 six-channel preamp It's the sound, and the clever solution, that sold me. My desire to avoid pre/pro handling of my two-channel sources, coupled with my desire to avoid buying a separate two-channel preamp with an H/T pass, have me settled on this baby despite the q... | |
| Possibly the best pre-amp one can have I wonder if he'd consider making a six-channel version? | |
| 2-3K, Integrated or Seperates As with all things, it depends on what you want. The upside of separates, it seems to me, is that you can upgrade one and keep the other, at least for awhile. The upside of integrateds is that you'll get more functionality out of the same budget.F... | |
| Harshness in tweeters: the price of transparency? It's amazing to me how many of the most expensive systems showcased here on Audiogon and over on the Asylum are completely devoid of RF-filtration and room treatment. I've seen systems that would cost six figures (even without figuring in the cost... | |
| Anyone compare Devore and Harbeth speakers? Caspermao, I heard the MF A5 with Gallos and big, chocolaty Paradigms at my local dealership, and the sound was grainy in the extreme, so I don't think it's the DeVores.Actually, I was susprised to hear someone say that the DeVores didn't match we... | |
| Best Towers Under $4,000 / pair Of that list the Vienna Acoustics are the runaway favorites, for my sonic pallete, which doesn't have to be yours. The speakers conspicuously missing from your list, it seems to me, are the Joseph Audio RM25si and the DeVore Gibbon-8 or, if you ca... | |
| Tubes vs. Panels? Well, the interesting thing is that I didn't actually get to see or use the software -- I posted a thread in the audio asylum about my trouble, and this fellow in Singapore replied with all these subsidiary questions and requests for photos and ev... | |
| upgrade from Audio Physic Spark Okay. I *definitely* wouldn't spend ten-k on speakers and then put them in those two positions in that room. :-)I know this is way, way, wayyyy off the topic of what you originally asked, but those two positions, in that room, aren't going to work... | |
| Wife wants a black faced receiver to replace Rotel Onkyo does everything right in this particular product space, in my opinion, *and* you can get black or silver, your choice. | |
| upgrade from Audio Physic Spark Your room is small for a price-is-no-object speaker, in my opinion. Anything rear- or side-firing is also going to be problematic, which leaves out the top-end AP's. Your front-end components are second-to-none, your cabling is totally uncompromis... | |
| crackling noise at high volume A related question: Do overmodulated upper midrange notes always suggest speaker damage? I've got two pair of speakers that I've been swapping in- and out for a few weeks now, and they both make the same rattly / overmodulated distortion when play... | |
| Monitor Suggestion - $ 2000 max Tyler Acoustics Taylo Reference Monitors. Check the company website for a used pair. | |
| upgrade from Audio Physic Spark 10K is a *lot* of money, I don't care who's spending it. What's your room like? These days, at that price-point you could buy almost anything and it would sound amazing. These days most 2k speakers sound amazing. I mean no disrespect in asking, bu... | |
| Which speaker is best with Naim I've had a flood of responses about my terrible room -- and how I should fix that before I drop a bunch of dough on speakers. So, here's the thing: a fellow audiogon member has a set of four bass traps, sixteen inches in diameter by forty-eight in... |
