| classe cdt-1 10 years old....good buying?? you can always call Classe and ask them what it will cost to replace the laser should it fail. They're quite helpful in that regard, but I do agree with Slikric3000... | |
| Changing the speaker jacks on a Linn Classik? Thanks Timrhu, email sent your way. Weiserb, I was hoping to keep the mod unobtrusive, kinda look and feel like it should have been done in the first place. BTW, I do understand the EU requirement for the Deltron connections but it makes it awful ... | |

| Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic. I was entralled with my BAT VK500 solid state amp, but I'm not surprised given BAT's preference for tubes. It's really hard to say whether it was "tube like" as I have a BAT tubed preamp, but having used other SS amps since then, I have to say BAT... | |
| How many 'listen outside of the box' design? I can't imagine listening to "traditional" speakers day and day out, the resonance is there no matter what the quality/price point may be. If you're looking for an alternative to panel speakers Gallo Reference speakers don't have a "box". | |
| Compact receiver for bedroom The gent asked about driving two sets of speakers... Linn Classik is the the right choice as it drives two sets of speakers easily, has a tuner, CDP, and finally it just sounds pretty damned good. I'll say it again, it has four speaker output jack... | |
| What Preamp for my Maggie 1.7's and Bryston 3B NRB BAT VK30 gets my nod, best preamp I've owned. I'll be listing it soon, had to go to an integrated amp due to change in set up. | |
| How to make record albums My favourite record is one that was released not long ago, Joe Jackson's Rain album. Recorded as a trio in a Berlin analogue studio, and released on LP. A few clips from an interview: "When Joe Jackson went into an East Berlin recording studio wit... | |
| Furutech Acoustic panel room Diffuser? Have you tried them? In terms of the relative value it depends to some degree on how much you've spent on your equipment, it's not uncommon to spend $3k on a cartridge. I use a pair and find them invaluable, not to mention very attractive. | |
| Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.? Grey Goose | |
| Anyone heard Cary 303/300 after 400 hours burn-in? I love my 303, use NOS Telefunken tubes and usually leave the upsampling off. I bought the CDP used, the previous owner had to change the transport and grumbled about the cost of the replacement part (he ordered the transport and had a local tech ... | |
| What is the best integrated tube amp under $3k ? same questions popped up on another forum this week, plenty of good ideas http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11619 | |
| Baby name opinion.... I doubt "Vinyl" or "Tube" would be considered ideal :)I really like EveAnna, very unique name and happens to be the president of Manley Labs. She's a really cool lady, quirky and has a great sense of humour. | |
| Gallo ref 3.1 users please chime in You need a tube preamp, I would suggest a BAT. I've used a BAT VK3i and a BAT VK30 with my Ref 3.1's. Get used to the sound and then decide whether you're happy as is, you need a different SS amp, or a tube amp to get the sorta sound you're after. | |
| iPod docking station - Belkin vs Wadia vs Arcam The Wadia unit does not require a DAC I spoke with the Wadia folks for a while at RMAF, the unit hijacks the digital stream [i]before[/i] it gets to the Wolfson DAC in the iPod, then outputs it via a digital interface to an external DAC. |
