| Aranov 9100 vs. Rogue M120 Can't answer the question, but instead would like to ask one. What is the "magnum" upgrade for the M-120 include? Thanks. | |
| New Music vs. New Equipment "Hi-quality tuna broadcasting"? I can smell, er, hear it now. "You're listening to WAHI, the finest fishing spot on your radio dial. Let's cast a line out (sound of reel spinning) for the new one from Sashmi.""It's all green and kind of mean...WAS... | |
| Sand bags under a cdp - didn't work well Yet another follow up in this saga. Now have the Delta on the tube alone with a bag of lead shot on the top. It really needs the the chassis loaded because the case rings like a bell. The space constraints didn't allow this with the multi-layer se... | |
| Best balanced interconnects under 350 Why not use copper AND silver so as to get the best of both worlds? Harmonic Technology ProSilways are a hybrid design using both metals that should fit your desires. Their XLR version lists for $439 a pair and should be available used for about w... | |
| New Music vs. New Equipment Like Abstract7, my spending has thus far been ~2/3 on equipment. This scenario is out of line with my way of thinking and exists only because last year was "The Year of the Great Upgrade." The intention now is to bring them on par. So, if I were g... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Add another vote to those who spent 20% of their system's MSRP on cables. A combination of HT ProSilway, AP Oval 9, Illuminations D-60, Synergistic Master Couplers and BMI Majiks account for one fifth of that spent so far. This ratio was reached a... | |
| Why Is Krell the a bad work??? Damn. Once again I leave this forum for a few days and miss a set of very entertaining exchanges. Glad to see Retro wasn't easily scared off. We can use the new blood. Even if it eventually ends up spilt on the streets... | |
| Bryston Amp v.s others? After listening to all of the above I chose McCormack. The Bryston was a close second. The difference was that the McCormack was more "musical" and the Bryston was more "accurate" with my gear (SF Line-1, Hales Revelation Threes and CAL transport ... | |
| Why Is Krell the a bad work??? Didn't take it personal at all, Retro, and even agree with much of the post in question. Was just pointing out the obvious. So wear the shoe; it not only fits, it matches the outfit. | |
| Sand bags under a cdp - didn't work well With so many positive reports I had to give the tube a try. Picked up a couple of 6"x4" wheel barrow tubes. Almost perfect size for my CAL Alpha and Delta. After one evening of trying various combinations: The Alpha tube DAC sounds better on the ... | |
| Is Hales finished for Good? FYI: There was a recent article on Stereophile's Web site about QSC picking up Hale's inventory. They are planning on making it available to the public. Unfortunately, other than parts it doesn't look like they will be providing any other support.... | |
| Why Is Krell the a bad work??? "The whole thing stinks of petty little personal issues and whiney little people. " Kind of like the post that contained that wonderful insight? | |
| Sand bags under a cdp - didn't work well Am considering giving the inner tube tweak a try, but have a question. I have a transport and a tube DAC rather than an integrated CDP. Would you put inner tubes under both the transport and DAC? Mine are currently on BDR cones if that matters. Th... | |
| Tinnitus anyone? Caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, quinine/tonic water, fatty foods and high sodium intake are all known to aggravate tinnitus. | |
| Horrific Confession and Question Regardless of the market space, everyone wants to believe their purchase is the "good buy." It is obviously true in audio as that perspective certainly persists here and in the more mundane segments of the consumer market. Who spends several hundr... |
