| Preamp or "U" jumpers: where to buy, choices? I know Tara offers a pair of "RSC Links" for this purpose, but I do not know the price. I'd guess somewhere in the neighborhood of $30 - $40. | |

| What seperates "hi-fi" from "mid-fi" in cdp's? To make life simple, forget about parts, designs, and specifications. Just listen. Demo as many units as you can, in your system, and then buy what you like. | |
| More MFSL Upcoming SACD Releases... I do not know the release date on the VM or BST&T. What the heck ever happened to the Leo Kottke that was put on preorder nearly a year ago, and then put on "indefinite delay"?Another thing that I wonder is why is the Lennon release on redbook... | |
| 200 Watt versus 300 to 400 Watt Amplifier Comps I'm from the "more power is better" camp. In reality, though, I've never felt I could justify the cost for a high-quality amplifier rated at more than 200 wpc. Would I LOVE to own the 1000 wpc Boulder 2050 monoblocks? You bet! Is it in my budget? ... | |
| Rippin' CD's Go with the Mitsui 74 minute unbranded GOLD CDR. THE best, IMHO. | |
| SACD or DVD Audio, which one is winning the race? Oh, no! Here we go again... I do not mean to imply any offense, but PLEASE read the archives. | |
| Good ROCK speakers kitchen is right on with the L-300's. Power those boys with a Mac 2300 and look out! | |
| Vandies a good fit ? Umn,Yes, for both reasons. I think it'd be easier to place the 1c's and one 2wq in a small room. As far as power goes, if you incorporate the vandersteen crossover and sub, the mains (1c's) will be very easy to drive. That should leave you with pl... | |
| Vandies a good fit ? You'd probably do better with a pair of the 1C's and one 2wq subwoofer. That's what I'd do in your situation... | |
| Good Classical discs for "beginners" The very best resource I know of is www.naxos.com | |
| Comments on the McIntosh MA6900 integrated amp I LOVE my MA-6900! Driving Vandersteen 3A Signatures... | |
| Tuners and Antennas I tried this once and have come to the conclusion that it is not the way to go. The signal was severely compromised, and the result was not enjoyable.I ended up buying two identical MD ST-2's and running one to each tuner. It is WELL worth the ext... | |
| Are monoblocks the way to go? Your goal "to create a system that is very transparent with a lifelike 3D soundstage" is not likely to be realized with the Heresys. I am quite familiar with them, as my friend once had a nice pair of quicksilver 8417 monos driving his heresys, an... | |
| Dealer needs input, next wave of gear? I think there really are only two digital formats worth considering for such a component. PCM (a.k.a. "Redbook CD") and DSD (a.k.a. "Scarlet Book" SACD).I'm still not really sure I would use one, though. Storing thousands of discs really is no tro... |
