| help a Die hard ANALOG guy choose a budget CDP Spencer- I think a streamer is what I want to explore. The word THINK in that last sentence, is because I want to research if a streamer has better sound than a CDP in the same price range. In my reading, I've stumbled across the brands you menti... | |
| help a Die hard ANALOG guy choose a budget CDP Just caught a listen to one of the Rega CD players at a dealers. It was pretty darned good. I preferred the Rega table with a $100 cartridge, but still, the CDP was enjoyable. I did make a purchase that day, to get this rolling. I bought a pair of... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Bdp24- Saw Joan Osborne about 5 years ago at the Mahawwie theatre in the Berkshires. She was great. I'm going to try to catch her again at The Egg, which is coming up soon. So far this summer, Jackson Browne at Tanglewood, and The Doobies at Spac.... | |
| Who's absorbing the cost? I asked Barnes and Noble what their policy was. The salesman said an LP can be returned for only the same LP. If that same LP was not in stock, they would order it. So I would say HMV has a decent policy where you could switch to a different LP. I... | |
| help a Die hard ANALOG guy choose a budget CDP gdhal- I have a local buddy who had the ERC-3, and he liked it very much. He simply went to a much more expensive SACD player from SIM Audio. I've always liked the Gamut amps, and I'm sure that would hold true with their CD Player. I'm just stick... | |
| Conrad Johnson--Best used Model A couple of more suggestions. I really enjoyed the Premier 16 when I owned it. Went from 16 mk 1 to Art mk 1, and did like it a bit better. Though, certainly not much better. You might get lucky, and find one for 3K. One more that comes to mind wo... | |
| help a Die hard ANALOG guy choose a budget CDP Thanks for the responses. First to address software. I have a quite a few Redbook CD’s that I would like to play. I am open to streaming, which of course, may contradict my post. The truth is, I’m pretty out of touch with digital. I’ve read severa... | |
| Heed Obelisk Si Bump? | |
| Analysis Plus speaker cables I think leaving your budget might help get you some alternative suggestions. I'm going to look at some cables soon, and plan on exploring the CHORD Company line. Not sure exactly what the AP sell for, but I know some of their cables aren't too exp... | |
| Looking for speakers under 30" tall. I was thinking Neat, as csmgolf suggested above. They are on my radar to hear. My friend said they sounded great at at the Montreal show. If you are near Montreal Quebec, look no further than Danny Labrecque. Very good dealer, no affiliation. Perh... | |
| David Belles / Power Modules Inc. Hey Johnny R- I appreciate the invite, and opportunity. Will certainly give that some thought. Cheers -Don | |
| David Belles / Power Modules Inc. Hi John- Thanks for your reply. It sounds as if the Heed shines with micro-dynamics, and play nicely with a good budget speaker like Epos. Yet it's synergy with Harbeth is also pretty well documented. Cheers (-: Don | |
| Which integrated amp would you pick? I don't want to steal the thunder from the OP, but of course it's better to audition if you can. In this case, I have had a brief listen to the Obelisk andalso the Rega Brio. In my case, there is travel (6 hr minimum), and time involved in auditio... | |
| Which integrated amp would you pick? timlub- Take a look. Plenty of reviews. I think the discrepancy in power is because the last iteration of the Obelisk (mk.2) had an optional outboard PS. With the PS, the power rating was 10-15 watts higher. Glad you are enjoying the Belles. | |
| David Belles / Power Modules Inc. Johnny R- How does it compare to the Heed Obelisk? |
