| What's a decent, current used transport? Oh, the last thing is that I would like to limit it to SS devices.I don't know if there is such a device as a tube-powered transport, is there? Are you looking for a transport or a player? If you are only seeking a transport, a Muse Model 8 or Mod... | |
| Newbie to tube amps - looking for specific rec's I don't know your speakers that well, but matching speakers with amps is quite critical, especially since you are asking about "not a lot of power". I personally wouldn't summarily reject the amps being made in China, but since that is your reques... | |
| Off Topic: Any Photography Sites Like Audiogon? Luminous Landscape is a good suggestion. Another in the direction of informational websites, more targeting professionals is Rob Galbraith's Site, though I've not been there in a while it used to be very good, especially for digital tools and tech... | |
| Zu Druids I'd recommend the one of the Modwright Sony units.Marco | |
| Best Acoustic Guitar Players Of All Time? Another great, cut short in his prime, Chris Whitley (and another terrible-quality video).Marco | |
| Off Topic: Any Photography Sites Like Audiogon? You can also try Craig's List. It's free, so you've got nothing to loose. Marco | |
| Best Acoustic Guitar Players Of All Time? Here's a video of Rory Block, since women seem to be a minority in this thread. I saw her play locally in a small venue and can tell you, if you are a fan of the guitar, and or the blues, do not miss her if she plays nearby you.Marco | |
| Best Acoustic Guitar Players Of All Time? Hey Howard - Can you recommend a good Nuno CD? All the selections on Amazon were priced at $34 and above...WTF? Here's one for this thread: Guitar WarsMarco | |
| Best Acoustic Guitar Players Of All Time? In no particular order; Kelly Joe Phelps, Segovia, Rory Block, Joe Pass, Robert Johnson, Julian Bream, Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwo'ole (Slack Key), Carlos Paredes (Portugese Guitar), Tim Reynolds ....oh, I'm sure I can think of more, but that's all for... | |
| Search classifieds by condition? Far more useful, IMO, would be to be able to search by location or zip code. I'd much rather find local sales than have to have items shipped.Marco | |
| Upgrade Source? Modwright Sony 999, or 9000 (if you don't mind not playing CD-r/rw), each with full mods go for around $1600-2k used. Highly recommended. Dan's Sony 9100 would also be worth considering, if budget is not of concern, as would APL Denon 3910. Marco | |
| "Budget" preamp choices. Chazzbo, which passive have you heard that lack in dynamics? That information would probably be a useful qualifier to your statement. As pointed out - The Placette absolutely positively does not lack in dynamics, nor does the Placette fall short i... | |
| "Budget" preamp choices. I cannot reccommend anything more highly than a Placette RVC linestage if you only have the single input device. It's right in your pricerange on the used market, and performance is superb! I can't say I know how well the two synergize, but based ... | |
| Zu tone or Druid or which Omega ? I don't know about the 6db difference in sensitivity. 8 watts and 6db difference? I don't think so..IMHO...That would really depend upon where those 6 watts took the efficiency down to. In the case of the Druid/Tone comparison, I'd agree, going fr... | |
| Office speakers? I have Sat-5's and can recommend them highly as well. Definitely a solid step above the Epos 3's. A significant step above the Soliloquy's, but at a price, I recently was very imressed by Era Design 5 speakers. The sounds that come from those tiny... |
