| Speakers in 10-15K price range for Classical music While you were at RMAF, did you check Tyler speakers?Tyler D1 or D2 may serve your purpose at half the price you are to spend. | |
| Distorted sound on speakers Right. The solo piano music reveals the problem very well.Replacing/Swapping tweeters/woofers -- are they supposed to be an easy and safe job, even for those who are goofy in taking into parts and putting into a whole?I will first try to swap the ... | |
| Distorted sound on speakers I have two amps. 100WPC solid state power amp and 55WPC tube int amp. The speakers suffer the same problem with both amps.Assuming the tweeter is fried, would it be an easy fix? | |

| Arcam fmj cd23 vs cd33 I agree that Arcam cd23 is a bit forwarding and shy of base. But those are not much of concern when I can feel superb quality of music it produces.I have Tyler Taylo 7U speakers. One of my friends asked to have them for a while and now I have my s... | |
| Arcam fmj cd23 vs cd33 For me, among many upgrades done over 6 years, the biggest difference was from Yaqin MC10L (Chinese 55WPC int tube amp) to Linn SS power amp/Rogue tube pre amp -- $550 vs $4800 if new.The second, from B&W 603 S3 to Tyler Taylo 7U -- $1000 vs $... | |
| Arcam fmj cd23 vs cd33 No problem.I've enjoyed the thread.I finally got a used Arcam cd23. I was a little bit suspicious of its performance, but I needed only a couple of seconds to realize the difference. I have not tried many other high end CD players, and I cannot sa... | |
| Praise for DacMagic Interesting.How about NAD vs NAD/DacMagic?How about NAD vs SonyDVD/DacMagic?My mhdt Paradisea+ did not match well with NAD C541i at all. Paradisea+ works quite well with cheap CD/DVD players, a little bit better than NAD. In a sense, it tells NAD ... | |
| new cd player or old Which NAD model did you buy? | |
| No frills CD player for tube amp Congrats.I also have a Tyler 7U. Did you buy it at $1400? It is a real bargain. I bought it used at over $2000 2 years ago, and I still very much like it.I also have Rogue Magnum 99 preamp. 7U really works well, but my NAD C541i is bit too bright ... | |
| Arcam fmj cd23 vs cd33 Many thanks.if the 23's DAC goes out, you may not be able to get a replacement.I wonder how many people would care about fixing a DAC when it goes wrong in a CD player, Or, even how often a DAC would go wrong. Has anybody heard of a ring DAC went ... | |
| Arcam fmj cd23 vs cd33 I am also leaning to cd23.BTW, what's wrong with Arcam CD players? Their used price is far lower than their competitors. It would work for me though since I am not going to spend $2000+ for a new CD player. However, if they were good at their pric... | |
| budget DACs I bought Paradisea+ (USB version) to use with my NAD C541i, but they did not match well. Certain CD transports (those with low impedance?) may not work well with Paradisea.I may let my Paradisea+ go some time soon. |
