| New, Very Interesting CD Transport Agon member vonhelmholtz didn't like the Audiolab 6000CDT, while member creativepart did. Two subjective impressions based upon how a particular transport sounded in two dissimilar systems. Not good enough to stand up in a court of law! | |
| Interesting AMP GTG Results. An old thread - but it illustrates the problem of amp comparisons done without careful level matching. Ad hoc conclusions mean little! | |
| Will Vincent ST-70 Tube Amp Will built me a SET 45 amp on a Dynaco chassis that is superb! Beautiful gloss white powder coat finish, two C6C pentodes to drive the pair of 45's and a 5V4 rectifier. A first-rate SE DHT amp! | |
| So you just took a gummie...What song is on the menu? The Moody Blues "Legend of a Mind"! Timothy Leary's dead! No he's not! He's outside looking in! Clear Light blotter will do the trick! | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport I well remember back about thirty years ago when the golden-ear crowd was gaga over the CEC belt-drive transport! Anybody ever see one of those lately? Didn’t think so! How about the Theta transport praised by TAS that was actually a $200 DVD play... | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport @magnuman : I've been at this stuff a lot longer than you! Heck, if I thought spending four-figures on a transport would give me better sound I'd for sure do it! The digital world is totally unlike Analog - where structural integrity, mechanical p... | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport The Shanling can only play CDs. The HD841 can play SACDs and DVD Audio (PCM) discs. Sure, the Shanling can read Hi-Rez files via USB but those would most likely already be on a computer. | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport @secretguy : If someone wants to blow a wad of cash and drool over a CNC-machined-out-of-billet aluminum transport go right ahead! | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport I already have on hand a Denon, a JVC and two Sony's (DVD and Blue Ray) players for use as transports. After an Agon member recommended the HD841 I went looking for one on eBay. I expect it will do fine! | |
| New, Very Interesting CD Transport Why waste money? I just ordered from eBay a Samsung DVD-HD841 to use as a transport. $16 including shipping and tax! All CD/DVD players have to conform to protocol and output the same digital bits! That's the difference between a digital device (t... | |
| Steve Guttenberg finally reviews the Eminent Technology LFT-8b loudspeaker. @magnuman : the Linkwitz tri-amped open baffle speaker may have the best 3-D imaging of any dynamic system. I doubt that any Monitor Audio speaker can compare. | |
| Sony ss mb350h or Sony ss B3000? Buy the pair with the bigger woofers! | |
| So, I Got To See A Real Cool Show Last Week; A Review: Recently purchased the Claypool-Lennon Band's Monolith of Phobos CD. Real cool music here! | |
| Analog vs Digital on albums from the 60's and 90's Analog pressings from the 50's/60's/70's will always be more desirable and worth more than new reissuses cut from digital files. I am always on the hunt for original pressings! | |
| Audio Mirror Tubadour IV vs Lampizator Amber 4 Audio Science Review might have a test of the Audio Mirror DAC. This might be a good way to get a handle on the sound. |
