| Budget DAC It should be kind of hard to not look at the Art Dio based on all the positive feedback it has been attracting. | |
| AC PWR cable to PWR Conditioner??? My experience is that there is as much audible difference with power cords on my line conditioner as there is with any of the other components. As usual, it's try and listen to them within your own system. | |
| Tweak worth 100X It's price - Vibrapods Sean: interesting on your Dad's speakers. I also have speakers with a downloaded (or is that uploaded) woofer, and have had excellent results with vibrapods (my speakers are floorstanders that weigh about 45 lbs. each). I have a suspended wood flo... | |
| Is my dealer lying to me? Gunbunny: The Panasonic DVD players have a pretty fair reputation for sound; I'd compare the Panasonic to the Cambridge-my guess is the Panasonic would smoke it. | |

| Is my dealer lying to me? Here's to adding a bit more fuel to the fire of debate here. I was a late convert to digital around 1995 or so when I purchased my first CD player, a Cambridge CD4. Went through either 2 or 3 of them (I can't actually remember) in a 6 month period... | |
| Carmen Sings Monk Try contacting the Jazz Record Mart in Chicago. I'm pretty sure that's the name of the place; someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I would think they'd be worth a try Albert. | |
| Couple or Decouple CDP, DVD, VCR? I have used vibrapods (like you, I am on a budget) and find them to be excellent. If you want to keep costs down and your equipment is not that heavy, I'd recommend the following: a vibrapod sandwich using "laminated glass", or security glass-it i... | |
| Recs for new speaker cable or IC If you want an excellent receptacle that won't break the bank, try an Arrow Hart 8200 (about $8). I experimented with a number of receptacles up to $20 including Leviton, P&S, Hubbell, Bryant etc. and it was clearly the best, although the Hubb... | |
| Nick Drake: incredible sonics What type of music is it? | |
| Cheap Stuff That Keeps Up? I'll 2nd the Audiolab 8000A as a used bargain. I bought mine used about 10 years ago for about $275. This amp responds extremely well to a decent power cord (I've used mine with both Cardas Golden and Blue Circle BC 62) and for $400 or $500 for th... | |
| Huge difference in sound : Spikes vs. Vibrapods I responded to Tekunda's post over on Audioasylum about this (actually his first response there), and would agree with the posters here that you need to trust your ears and try this within your own system. My speakers are Elipson 1313's (a french ... | |
| No cost Power Cord Upgrade/Tweak The cord that I just lifted the ground on is not shielded, so that is not really a concern to me, and I had previously run another cord on my amplifier over the past year or so with the ground lifted with no problems. Also, my system prior to lift... | |
| Fusion CD-64 CDP Sorry can't help you out, but how much does this unit sell for? | |
| Audiolab questions?? The answer is yes. Artech Electronics was/is the distributor for Audiolab and I believe still has some Audiolab product to clear out (Audiolab was taken over by Tag MacLaren a couple of years ago). Do a web search for Artech Electronics and go to ... |
