| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? Occasionally, I play a track that's full of clicks and pops ------ on my CD. The artist has purposely put them on to attain the mood of a bygone era. Makes me smile every time. Reminds me why I don't really miss playing LP's that much. | |
| Paul McCartney 3 Try listening to his symphonic piece, "Oceans's Kingdom". I discovered it last year and have to say I enjoy it. | |
| How old are you? Old enough to know better. | |
| Why is black so popular for components? My guess is that black is less noticeable. The last 3 pieces I bought were silver-I wanted a change. | |
| Would the dynaudio special 40's be a noticeable upgrade over the ELAC UF5? Probably an upgrade in SQ, but I would be concerned that the Dynaudio’s are a much smaller speaker and won’t fill your room like the floor standers, even if they may be more refined and revealing ECT. I have floor standers (Tekton) in a similar si... | |
| Looking for a new integrated amp I bought a new Rogue Sphinx V2 to try with my Tekton Enzo 2.7 and it was too noisy. Tried different tubes to no avail. I sent it back and got a Musical Fidelity M3si which I prefer. It's much quieter than the Rogue. The M3si has a smooth, clean, ... | |

| New speaker day - Tekton Enzo 2.7 review Yes, still enjoying them. The drivers have broken in nicely and the bass and low mids have opened up and smoothed out. Right now I’m using my 10w/c tube amp with them with very good sound quality and a deep soundstage. My SS 85W amp also sounds ve... | |
| ...bookshelf speakers that sound good at low volume... I just bought a pair of the newly released Elac Unifi 2.0 - $600. Using as TV speakers with a vintage 35w NAD receiver and music with CD player. In a similar sized room as yours. They’re 6 ohm @ 85dB sensitivity, but they play plenty loud enough. ... | |

| Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms? +1 for a tube integrated. But if you don’t want to deal with the quirks of a tube amp - more heat, tube replacement, etc, get either a Hegel integrated or Musical fidelity integrated. I’ve owned/own both and can highly recommend them. They both dr... | |
| Any love for Musical Fidelity integrateds? Regarding the m3si, if I had to guess why it sounds so good, I think it must have a very good pre-amp section. | |
| audiolab 6000 CDT transport I hardly think this would be considered a top transport for 500 smackers. They say the loading mechanism is from their top cd player. Not sure it’s any better or worse than a drawer. I’ve had drawers quit working. Had it for a week and it works so... | |
| Dedicated transport or CD player as transport? knock1 Sounds good - thanks |
