| Looking for power amp with warm, smooth sound I don't know how it would pair up with your Marrantz, but you might consider a Pass Aleph 3 or 30. | |
| Compare: Modwright LS 36.5 & Audio Research LS26 Just give'em a link. $6500. No relation to the seller whatsoever. Good luck. | |
| What the benifit of using a separate dac? As suggested already, that would depend entirely upon the quality of the respective DAC's (and with the separate DAC, marginally upon the cord between transport and DAC). Also the separate DAC may take advantage of its own isolated power supply, F... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" Pehare - How does "Cardinology" compare to "Heartbreaker"? I really like the latter, but have not warmed up a couple of his other CD's (Love is Hell and Easy Tiger) with The Cardinals. I also enjoyed his contributions to the anniversary release of... | |
| Compare: Modwright LS 36.5 & Audio Research LS26 Whoops, obviously I missed your response as it had not been posted as I wrote mine. Also, I missed that you were considering an LS26 and not a Ref 3 - still, no experience there either. The only ARC piece I've owned is a GNS modified LS2B, which o... | |
| Compare: Modwright LS 36.5 & Audio Research LS26 Dan makes a separate, standalone tubed phono stage, the SWP 9.0SE, which you could use in conjunction with the 36.5 for your vinyl. I have no direct experience with that piece. I'd concur with Rydenfan regarding the 36.5 - superb resolution, linea... | |
| Need advice on overall system I'm not that familiar with your specific components so I will limit my comments to general ones. Although cabling and power conditioning can certainly make a difference, those differences are more about fine tuning. If you are unhappy with the ove... | |
| Filling the void for better sound Now that's the kind of posts we need more of. Great story! Making me feel kind of itchy and scratchy all over. Hope the foot's healing up well. This is a good argument for floorstanders!Marco | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? (And he's quoting the French poet Relke)Rainer Maria Rilke was born in Prague and wrote in German. It is indeed a quote from Rilke, you got that part right. One of my favorite writers - his letters are quite beautiful. I had one that was brought t... | |
| how much would you say a good set up cost $ spent on speakers will have the greatest effect on how your system sounds.That's bound to open up a whole other rats nest of opinions. You can do a search on "hierarchy", "budget", or similar verbiage, and you'll come up with quite a few threads... | |
| How to manage a big itunes library? Jwynacht - It's a sound strategy, yes. USB should be just fine as streaming music is not demanding of a fast interface. It will not be any problem at all in that respect. It will slow things down when you start copying large amounts of files from ... | |
| how much would you say a good set up cost I guess you could look at it as therapy for what ails you. | |
| Black Raviolis I recommend listening while wearing Buckwheat Skivvies. | |
| how much would you say a good set up cost I don't think that most people today consider a $30K Rig a "show off System", as some here have mentioned, not at a time where $100K Home Theater Systems are par for the course, at least among the professional class - as I would imagine most of us... | |
| How to manage a big itunes library? Ejlif - I don't think it's the drive that's unreliable, it is the RAID device itself and the interface with the drives. These are not "great big drives", as you intimated. A RAID unit usually has multiple slots that house many duplicate-sized hard... |
