| DAC for my Esoteric X-O3 SE?? A very highly regarded player to resort to experimenting with dacs in my opinion. More highly regarded than the x05. But to each his own. | |
| Best Power Cord for a Classe CA 2300 Being a member and poster for years, I'll say that there are some forum members here who can be counted on to not care about being friendly, congenial or cordial. These members will often and very easily show you their bad side. Best to ignore the... | |
| Preamp under 800$ Classe CP 35 is a good solid state preamp. | |
| What would you do? If the manufacturer in fact did not pack the speakers with plastic protectors for the mid drivers, as you say, then they made a mistake. One of the drivers is not perfect and has a dent. How often in these forums do we discuss proper packing? The ... | |
| What would you do? "the manufacturer forgot to put plastic protectors they normally use to avoid these issues."Totally agree with Dtc. As the consumer of an expensive high end pair of speakers, you have the right (and you owe it to yourself) to require the manufactu... | |
| PurePower new plus range regenerators any good? Flashunlock, I have the same PP you have and I'm considering one of the SR Powercell 4's. What don't you like about the sound of your system with the Powercell in place? | |
| Budget vacuum tube preamp? Be careful of the very high 10,000 ohm output impedance of the Norh ACA-2B preamp. I'd try it at the price were it not for that. | |
| Budget vacuum tube preamp? I feel Unsound is right. Anyone doing their homework should consider what an impedance mismatch between the amp and preamp will do to the sound. Start with the output impedance of the preamp and the input impedance of the amp. Even beneficial spec... | |
| Selling dispute. Please comment. The buyer should be willing to accept your apology and a pdf of the mauual. If not, then offer him a refund. | |
| Audiophile 'Attitude' I hope you remember the salesman's name. If you do, I would call the dealership, find out who the owner is and arrange to speak to him. Even if you don't remember the name of the salesman, you can describe him. I would quote exactly what the sales... | |
| Revel F12's ---- A very happy upgrade for me. Adam18, with the Revels are you enjoying the Rotel player as much as the Rega table? | |
| Home stereo equalizer Mamas1993, beware, if you decide to go try the Behringer; it's not that simple to use and requires a fairly steep learning curve imo. | |
| The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig? "That's some good sounds" from a non-phile (I don't know any philes) and all the while I was thinking how subpar the system sounds for a mid fi system, especially for the money invested. | |
| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put I'm curious what specifically was said that motivated you to hang in there?The dealer used to carry the OMD line of Mirage speakers and owns the OMD 28 speakers that I have. He said his OMD-28 are the last speakers he will own. From all that he sa... | |
| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put After some time went by, I finally went by a dealer in my area today. For the first time since my first year in audio years ago, I actually talked to another living soul who is an audiophile and interested in this stuff.. First such conversation I... |
