| What speakers do you use with your SET's? I'd agree with Tom on his assessment of the care of selection of your components here. The consequences are way less forgiving than say a mismatch in more conventional topology's may reveal. I haven't tried the single-driver route yet. I'm using h... | |
| Are "Redbook Only " CD players Obsolete? Yep, you bet. Send your entire worthless collection to me, as well as that doorstop redbook-only player. I'll take care of'em no charge and you can move on to the latest, greatest player/format...till the next one comes along in a few years.Marco | |
| Oversampling vs. Upsampling Tastes great.Less filling.Marco | |
| Which of These Budget SS Preamps? I'll vote with Jond for your considering a 'budget' tube pre to go with your Parasound. My only experience with Parasound amps is in hearing their top-of-the-line Halo amps pushed by an SS pre (cannot recall which). To me this combination sounded ... | |
| Question on preamp matching with Wright 3.5 2A3 am I'm betting you'll love your setup given your reaction to the Altec/Wright rig. I wouldn't worry about the Rogue if you already have it, but if not, I'd seek out a Wright pre to complete the magic.Marco | |
| Question on preamp matching with Wright 3.5 2A3 am Absolutely, as Jond says, the primary reason for the limited volume is the mismatch of a low-efficency speaker with a flea-powered amplifier. I could never drive my 89db efficeint SR17 monitors beyond very low volumes without alot of distorition w... | |
| Question on preamp matching with Wright 3.5 2A3 am Wright's own preamps match up brilliantly with his amps. The WPL12 would be a great match-up if you don't need a phono stage or his AU1000 (dealer-only) if you can find one. I've owned the 3.5's and have heard many of George's products (great stuf... | |
| Proposal - lets share our treasures Gammajo - you could simply start your own threads in those different categories. The threads longevity, and eventual archiving will depend upon it's success in the eyes of Agon, I suppose. I don't know that I'd be so specific as to give one thread... | |
| Trying to find a USB to RCA adapter. Glad to hear it! Which item did you end up getting from them?Marco | |
| A "Unique" Voice... Patti Smith. On the painfully mellow side bordering on monotone, Iron & Wine and Elliot Smith.Marco | |
| Proposal - lets share our treasures Here's a thread I started a while back that goes in the direction you are suggesting. There have been many here that qualify, and yes, it is a great idea and a wonderful aspect of this forum.Marco | |
| Is my setup mid-fi or hi-fi? Newbee - it's a "Preachmaster X-511" soap box; one of the highest there is, and arguably the finest. I'm going to have them bury me in it so I can take it with!Marco | |
| Best used speaker under $1000 for tube low watter Do a search on Eico here and on AudioAsylum and you may come up with some more suggestions as well as those here. I seem to recall those EL84-based amps being a pretty good match for vintage Quad ESL57s which would be just over your budget and als... | |
| Is my setup mid-fi or hi-fi? There'll always be someone with more toys, a fancier car, a bigger house, a bigger shlong, etc. And unfortunately there will always be those who use such things as the measure of a man, as well as the handfull who know that none of it matters one ... | |
| Best used speaker under $1000 for tube low watter I'm just reading your other post after posting earlier. I'm a big fan of vintage Klipsch. I've owned the Heresy's and they are great little speakers, but definitely not as refined sounding as the larger Klipsch such as the LaScala and Khorn. They ... |
