| Incredible CD sound for $1500?? I don't really think I want to go the mod route, normally in all my other hobbies I would be interested but for some reason I can't explain (probably resale) I don't want to get into a mod unit. The Cary's look like nice players, although I have y... | |
| Sony XAE777 CDP or Bel Canto DAC? I had a Phillips 1000 but it died & they sent me a refund check instead of fixing it. I have been quite pleased with both of these machine's performance but I want to take it to another level while staying under $1500.00 used. | |
| Sony XAE777 CDP or Bel Canto DAC? I really want a GREAT redbook player with solid SACD performance, what are some other choices. | |
| Audible Illusions vs. Audio Research? As far as upgrading my CDP, does anyone have any suggestions based on my system & listening habbits? | |
| Audible Illusions vs. Audio Research? I only plan on buying used & want to spend less than $1500, cheaper the better. I really want to stay with a tubed pre-amp. I really want great detail, huge soundstage & a slightly warm "musical" sound from my system. I rather enjoy the mu... | |
| Tyler Acoustics Taylo 7U vs. Linbrook Sig. Monitor I have a pair of Reference Monitors & I drive them with a McCormack DNA-1. I think it is a little overkill but I could be 100% wrong. I have never heard the speakers break up when pushed but I am afraid to really crank them for any length of t... | |
| I need more Funk I can't really define "funk" b/c it means a little disco, a little soul & a little.... funk ;) We may not be able to define it but I certainly see a few fans of it around here. Thanks for all the great suggestions, I have some shopping to do. | |
| I need more Funk funny how that ALWAYS makes the music better, eh ;) | |
| I need more Funk I was listening to a little Tower of Power last night as a matter of fact & yup I got funkifized. I sort of forgot about Scofield, thanks for the reminder. | |
| Best bang-for-buck purchase you have made? Tyler Reference Monitors, stands, sub, external cross overs & cables from another Agon member for $1200.00. The absolute best money I have put into my system yet. Even at full retail these are worth every penny. | |
| Used tube pre-amp around $1,000 What's the deal with the "hideous stepped attenuators" ?? Everyone seems to be offended by this & why is there a resistor in the CD input? Alot of people like this pre-amp & don't seem to mind these two issues. Does it sound that good? | |
| What pre amp matches the McCormack DNA 0.5 I run a DNA-1 with a PV10al & absolutely love it. When I do upgrade it will only be to another CJ pre-amp. I can't imagine getting rid of the DNA anytime soon. | |
| Does anybody know what's wrong with Tyler's bass? I recently upgraded to a pair of tylo reference monitors & matching sub from a pair of Vandersteen 2Ce sig's. The Tylers wipe the floor with the Vandersteens in my system. I read all the same reviews & had the same concern about the lack o... | |
| Great Mains for $1000? Vandersteens can't be beat at their price point but there are other choices to be had in this price range, I recently changed from 2Ces to a set of Tyler monitors & couldn't be happier. Look at EVERYTHING, I never thought a pair of monitors &a... | |
| Conrad Johnson PV10AL Tube & Polarity Questions? what tubes would anyone suggest to begin my first tube rolling experiment? |
