| Recommendation: great floorstander & amp $3K ea The VR-22s are intriguing for sure. I appreciate this recommendation. | |
| Recommendation: great floorstander & amp $3K ea @ZD542,I think that I could have been clearer. I do not have any issue with the Creek or Rotel--I was just stating my main dislikes in "a system" so folks could give recommendations. The Creek 5350se is fantastic. I wish it had a little more power... | |
| Recommendation: great floorstander & amp $3K ea @ SfarThat is great information. I like that you feel so strongly about both your Cary and the Simaudio. I'm going to research the Devore loudspeakers you finally settled on. The Proac models were on my shortlist so I think your experience could b... | |

| Wish List For Vinyl Pressings Olivia Tremor Control's Dusk at Cubist Castle. A few were pressed on vinyl in 1996-1997, but they are rare.If you are a Beatles fan you should check out this album. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:jxfpxqthld0e | |
| Wish List For Vinyl Pressings I'm the third or something in this vote, but Apple Corps. simply needs to reissue all Beatles vinyl in stereo and mono--relative to what was originally issued. | |
| The first-best-last analog item you ever bought First: probably a really bad 45rpm single in the late 70s. I used to get $3 allowance and bought top 40 hits from 1978 through about 1985.Best: Rega Planar 2 turntable. It was the "best" not on quality but because it got me back into records in a ... | |
| Mac Mini Oh, here's a picture of a clock: http://www.tentlabs.com/Products/cdupgrade/xo2xo3/index.htmlReducing the vibration of this clock is going to result in less jitter? It's a circuit board. | |
| Mac Mini I would agree with Cutterfilm (above). It looks like there are two camps: those who believe that a DAC puts out varying information depending on whether it is vibrating and those who believe its information rate remains the same until the point of... | |
| Recommendation needed for Turntable I'm going with a used Roksan Radius V. I think the KAB is a great idea but I'm concerned it's not going to be musical enough and the cost of the two is equal assuming I do upgrades to the KAB and buy the Radius used. | |
| Mac Mini The only benefit you would get from reducing vibration to the Mac Mini would be to reduce vibration going to the hard drive--to prevent it from failing. However, as others are hinting with a cat analogy, if the hard drive can read the binary conte... | |
| Recommendation needed for Turntable Thanks, Michael. I emailed Kevin and he has been helpful. I'm thinking of a table, arm rewire and cartridge at around $1000. Nice thing is, it should last forever. My Rega was great but a touch ginerly in its make and sound. I am, however, nervous... | |
| Recommendation needed for Turntable Michael, Do you have a KAB? If so, how does your KAB compare with your Musichall listed on your system profile? I am very interested! | |
| Recommendation needed for Turntable Good point Michael. I was arriving at the number by purchasing the 1210M5G because it had better stock wiring and I liked it's looks a bit better. I was adding in the tonearm re-wire, strobe disabler, and at least $125 for a cartridge. That gets m... | |
| Recommendation needed for Turntable Thanks for the advice on the VPI, and the comments on the KAB. I think the VPI is a must to look at in my price range.One person with KAB exchanged emails with me. He/she felt that the KAB was a nice upgrade and the Technics was built like a tank,... |
