| How is the Oppo 983H as a 2ch Music Transport? I'm using one as a transport with a Modwright Transporter and have been happy with the results there. I could not speculate on how it might compare with the others you mentioned if swapped out in the same application since I have not compared. I c... | |
| Drop in tube replacement 6N6 v 6CG7 I'm afraid I don't know squat about 6N6's, Chuck. Wish I could be of more help. Did you try the distributor? | |
| how do you ship? Here's some insight into what happens to your UPS package. Swamp, you are right about the sorting - those packages go through miles of conveyors sometimes and they are well above hard floors in a warehouse. That said, I've had terrible experiences... | |
| Tweaks Albert, with your two systems you need the new CanineCall™ Signature Edition which handles not only all the audio gear in your house, but all electronic appliances as well. The early reports of the toasters growing hair on them are all a vicious l... | |
| Drop in tube replacement 6N6 v 6CG7 Hey Newbee - one of my favorite sleeper preamps, the Cary Slp-50A used 6CG7's. I owned one for many years. I have a butt-load if you want to procure some good ones (even after that descriptor) to experiment with. I no longer have the Cary (great l... | |
| Tweaks This guy took the CanineCall™ and "forgot" to pay me for it, and look what happened to him (seen here in his listening room). Don't even think about not paying me if you read about the call in the previous post. If you read it, better call up PayP... | |
| Tweaks I wish you had not posted that at Audiogon, Marco was planning on introducing the dog-here, dog-gone tweak at CES. Old news, my friend: You don't need the Dog-Here Dog Gone tweak anymore (some folks don't want a large dog sitting in the middle of ... | |
| how do you ship? Grant - I tried posting the same info yesterday but I guess you beat me to it. The caveat is that the link is to FedexExpress terms. I could not find anywhere in there which gives the terms for FedexGround and it is nearly impossible to find on th... | |
| how do you ship? Wait a minute, are we talking Fedex, or Fedex Ground? The two companies, though having the same name, are managed and run entirely different from each other. I thought you were talking about Fedex (the air shipping company). If you are talking Fed... | |
| Any tweaks recommded for under cd player? Another vote for Starsound (Sistrum), having done a bit of comparing myself over the years. This works best to my ears. I thought Neuance went out of business? Agree with Grant - pick a few and try them yourself. By used, sell at no or little loss... | |
| how do you ship? To ship items over 500 dollars and have them fully insured, you have to either have it picked up by fedex or deliver it to a Fedex location, not a fedex/kinkos or an authorized place, but a fedex only store. Hmmmm...yesterday I dropped off a box a... | |
| Most non-fatiguing 2.0 nearfield setup for $1000 For the dac and amp, the Peachtree looks to be the best bet for now but if I could score an MHDT Paradisea and one of the other amps suggested that would be sweet too.Beware that some of this stuff doesn't mix and match well. You do need to pay at... | |
| Most non-fatiguing 2.0 nearfield setup for $1000 I'd second the Era's - great speakers - the 5's are even better if you can afford the extra $. McFavre4 - don't they require a bit more power (they are fairly inefficient, aren't they?). Another good choice in an SS integrated is a used Rega Brio ... | |
| Most non-fatiguing 2.0 nearfield setup for $1000 Warm and mushy, eh? Well, I think I may know what you mean, though they aren't exactly a very flattering pair of adjectives. Tubes are probably a very good thing just in terms of warmth. Laid back in nearfield is a tough one and may have more to d... | |
| Tweaks Damn, Albert. You swore to me you wouldn't tell anyone!!!! That's the last time I buy the drinks!!!! |
