| Opinions on digital interconnect One that comes to mind is the Acoustic Zen MC². It sounds very open, smooth, and creates a nice sense of scale, all for around $180 or less used for an RCA terminated one meter digital cable. | |
| Proac 2 - stand options How tall are your 2s, about 18 inches? If so, an 18-22" stand might work like those from Sound Anchors. | |
| can i transport apple lossless between pc & mac? I was thinking the same thing Kennyt suggested. That is, if you're going to run an iTunes based system try networking the computers. We do this at work with an old iMac as the music server with 500gigs of storage. That way PCs and Macs can play th... | |
| speakers efficiency If you're shopping for speakers and are concerned with efficiency, you should also consider the impedance curve of the speaker. A speaker with a flatter curve will be easier on an amp than one with more violent imepdance spikes and thus play loude... | |
| XM or Sirius I bought Sirius at the end of last year before Howard Stern jumped to satellite. From personal experience and what I've read I agree with what Mikelavigne has said. The sound quality is poor and the signal is finicky. I hear equal complaints from ... | |
| Why is my amp requiring as much volume gain? I once owned a Bryston 4B and noticed exactly what you mention, but maybe not to the same degree. I did have to turn up the volume knob a little more than with any of my other amps to get the same perceived loudness. But no matter the volume, that... | |
| amp -preamp combination question. I'd been using a tube pre with a SS amp for a few years before buying a tube amp. A cash crisis forced me to sell my tube amp and return to my old configuration. I forgot how much I enjoyed the dynamics and quick attacks of the solid state amp. Th... | |
| Which cheese? Hey, since you're a "jack" maybe you can tell us what goes with you! How about cottage cheese or Limburger with Bose? I prefer a cream cheese while listening to the news on my Nakamichi clock radio after I stop the alarm. A fine mozzarella pizza g... | |
| where to buy a BNC to RCA component cable? Hey Phil, if you find something please let us know what it is. Good luck! | |
| wave a magic wand and poof...the stereo disappears With me it's always been a choice between my stereo and sex. When you don't see me on Audiogon you can bet I'm having fun in other ways. | |
| BAT VK-200 Burn-in time? Yeah, BAT [Viktor Khomenko] are great people to deal with. I had a VK3i once as well. Make sure you mate them using a true balanced interconnect. | |
| Blue Circle BC3 vs BC21.1 I think some of the advantages the BC3 might have are dual volume pots and an external power supply. I'm using the older BC21 which uses 6SN7 tubes. Used Galateas sell for under $2000 and Despinas even cheaper. | |
| BAT VK-200 Burn-in time? Shortage of funds forced me to sell some gear and return to the VK200 I had sitting in silence. I forgot how good this guy is.What are you matching it with and how did you find a new one?Have fun! | |
| Good Advice Undertow? I used to play on a Quake server with that name. | |
| Good Advice I'm kind of surprised I didn't get flamed for my last post. It seems more A'Goners than I realized have the awareness to recognize that it is also about hifi and the equipment for us audiophiles. Of course in varying proportions.It's interesting t... |
