| I saw the back of an integrated and it depressed me. Buy a McIntosh preamp or Integrated they have lots of inputs for anything you could need. | |
| Digital player the real question; is there even music available in those formats? and that isn't just an up sample from a lower rez? | |
| Oracle CD2500 MKI there is a Mk2 for sale asking price is $2700 so i think the $2000 mentioned is probably close to max for an excellent mk1. note it will be limited to CD only and your probably going to want to add an outboard DAC as that's getting long in the too... | |
| Building a music room look at room acoustics first get that right then any audio system you put into it will sound better then if you don't treat the room. | |
| Best Full-Function Preamplifier McIntosh C2700 or one of the other many they have, make sure it has the DAC2 board and your good to go. excellent DAC with multiple in-outs for digital, ARC for TV integration, the C2700 is a Tube preamp with dual phono stages MM and MC, then ther... | |
| Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts? Should sound nice, but I will say you're buying 225wpc more power than you need with Klipsch speakers. If you can exchange the int250 for one of the lower powered ones. Specifically one of the Class A amps, as class A amps IMO sound better with K... | |
| What record weight for Rega RP10 Rega spent a huge amount of time reducing weight and optimizing the table for light weight to reduce resonance. From my experience when you add weight you take away from sound quality. This goes for what the player is sitting on as well. you do no... | |
| Need suggestions for speaker platforms - Klipsch Forte IIs on marble floor I second the iso acoustics stuff but i would look at the GIA's as they will screw into the existing spike locations. | |
| Does the Audio press ever excite you anymore? You mean audio advertising mags? | |
| Amplifier and Speaker A/B switcher decware makes a rather nice one for reasonable cost. not sure if there is a wait time though. ZSB | DECWARE (decwareproducts.com) | |
| What Horn loaded speaker/ speaker system for $10k'ish and under My older 1989 LaScala's were not stock by any means, all the drivers were from Crites, Crites 4500 crossover as well, i also damped the horns with dynamat and the cabinet was extensively damped as well. so they did not sound anywhere near what the... | |
| What Horn loaded speaker/ speaker system for $10k'ish and under lgo-jerry I've had LaScala's in the past in my room so not a concern. I prefer the bass loaded bass of the LaScala over both the Cornwall and forte even though both go considerably lower. but I'd like to try something a little more refined. | |
| Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time? I think he leaves many sold items up to show what he can do with different finishes etc. your over thinking this. | |
| If I rip all my CD's to flac files do I still need a CD transport? I have a CD player that's been collecting dust for two years after I put all my CD's into a storage system. Sound wise no difference in my system that's why the CD player hasn't been touched in two years. probably should sell it. | |
| Sonic Frontiers Line 3 unity gain if your going to run another volume control system why not eliminate the line 3 all together your just adding more to the chain that's not necessary. if its to get the switching ability of the preamp then buy a quality switch box. your just adding... |
