| Best Used CD Player 1500-3000 My vote goes to the Electrocompaniet EMC, I agree with Subaruguru. | |
| Do you use spikes for tile/marbel floor? I'd recommend a faily inexpensive tweak. You can use cones under the speakers that you can buy through Audiolabhawaii.com. These cones increased the dynamics and bass of my speakers. I've used many different cones and these are the best. | |
| Cary 306/200 or Electrocopaniet EMC-1?? Steve, you can contact Santuary of Sound (owner is knowledgeable and honest to deal with). | |
| Cary 306/200 or Electrocopaniet EMC-1?? I agree with Rlb61 regarding the upsampling issue. I haven't heard the Cary 306 but I do own the EMC-1, which is a fine cdp. | |
| AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet I forgot to mention that I bought some pucks and pods from Audiolabhawaii.com that worked wonderfully under my EMC-1 cdp. These pucks and pods are inexpensive isolation devices that are better than other isolation devices that I have used (much su... | |
| What cd player should I buy? My vote goes to the Electrocompaniet EMC-1. I own an EMC-1 and have no regrets. Very difficult to find a better cdp for the money! | |
| AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet You can read lots of threads and many have said wonderful things about the EMC-1, Aero Capitol, Accuphase, and Mephisto. I would also place the BAT VK5 SE and Arye in this arena. If you are like me and price is a definate factor, it is my opinion ... | |
| Best Kept Speaker Secret? Here's one to toss in this arena, for roughly $1,400 used, you can buy the Totem Hawk speaker. These speakers are ideal for small to mid size rooms and when driven correctly, they are dynamic, transparent, spacial, and very musical. Very difficult... | |
| Musical Speakers that can provide dynamics for HT I own a pair of Rosinante "Dulcinea" speakers that have the same type of tweater as the Merlin VSM speakers. When done correctly, the tweater offers great performance in the mid to high extensions, especially on strings and voice. The Dulcinea spe... | |
| Can POWER CORDS really make that big a difference? It has been my experience that power cords make a difference. I have used many different power cords and each have produced different results. There are some addordable power cords that can produce good results. | |
| Meridian 586.2 I have heard the Meridian 586.2 and prefer the better known 508.24 for audio. | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Recommend a good set of cones along with some pods. I bought some from this website (can find them anywhere else) ....... audiolabtc@aol.com..... These cones really work as isolation devices and they are fairly inexpensive (improves bass definatio... | |
| Fourplay ...yes please Jazz CD Fourplay is well recorded but is very digital sounding. Did you know Fourplay is on DVD 2-channel (well recorded too!) | |
| Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list I'd recommend Jazz at the Pawnshop (XRCD2) and Benny Green's "Testifyin" (CD) on the list of great recordings. Both are live recordings, very analog sounding. | |
| Jazz Recommendations "Jazz At the Pawnshop" (XRCD2) and Benny Green's "Testifyin" are two very good live recordings that you'll ever hear. |
