| Bi-Amp w/Sub Amp Setup Thanks for offering advice, but not what I was asking. | |
| NHT Placement Help The NHT Recommendation is 1.5x(Speaker to Speaker) from the front of the speakers. Due to the room/use, they will be about 11' apart, so I will have to be back by 15.5' from the front of the speakers, which puts me in the 2nd row of seats. I am ... | |
| Where to go from here I just spent a morning of audio comparison with an audiophile friend. It was a VERY eclectic system. Sources:Denon 300f auto Turntable/preamp in one..($350 List)Linn Ikemi CDPanasonic RP-82 DVD PreAmpMeridian MC12 set to analog 2-CHAmplifiersKrell... | |
| Analog System to Beat Digital - - for little$$ ?? Johnnyb53 - Thanks for your note. It sounds like you have spent quite some time listening to this recommended system. I will give it some strong consideration, as it is less than my budget - so I can get more Vinyl! | |
| Analog System to Beat Digital - - for little$$ ?? Les-creative-edge: I do clean my records on a VPI record cleaner. I have a good friend who is kind enough to share his cleaner. I am using the Walker 4-step process, including enzymes and high resolution rinse. It makes a great difference.Your tur... | |
| Analog System to Beat Digital - - for little$$ ?? Jaybo: I agree, there is lots of good digital out there, and I plan to keep listening to both. Likely BluRay for my video-audio needs (Including DVD), but for a sit down of pure music will come from my TT in the future. Thanks for your response. | |
| Analog System to Beat Digital - - for little$$ ?? Tfkaudio - I agree, the built-in phono is likely the weakest link, but I am looking to match a complete TT and a Phono-Pre for about 2K. I am guessing I should look at Phono-Pre's in the 700-1100 range, with a table in the 900-1300 range.Agree? Th... | |
| Analog System to Beat Digital - - for little$$ ?? Wrtickle: I like your thoughts on the VPI table, but I am concerned that I will end up blowing my budget on a table/arm/cart before I even get a Phono-Pre. The Dynavector looks like a winner: http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?preaphon&125... | |
| Blue Ray Concert discs Well, my musical taste is everywhere. For Christmas I received ZZ Top and Beyonce on BluRay. Both are great disks for very different reasons.ZZ Top is this laid back, small venue, very tightly shot musical performance with three guys, and a microp... | |
| Revisiting Digital? This is my concern about turning my back on this "New" found high resolution format called RECORDS. I do love the musicality of Analog. Instruments sound like real instruments. But changing a record from side to side every few songs, the cleaning ... | |
| Revisiting Digital? I have read two articles, nearly 3yrs apart on the differences between McIntosh Media Servers and good CD playback. Read the article yourself, it is a good read, but here is the punchline. To get the real deep base, the impactfull midrange that hi... | |
| How about Parasound? I choose a Parasound 2205AT over B&K Reference amplifiers about 8 years ago, and have been very pleased. I have recently compared it to some other amps, that I would like to have instead of this amplfier. Drop me a note if you are interested i... | |
| b&k ref 70 proesser My thoughts: The B&K are undervalued in the market. Krell is overvalued. Halcro is at the top 10% of the entire market. So, not really a fair comparison.Krell HTS 7.1 was released in late 2001, early 2002 if I recall, at a list price of $8000.... | |
| New2Analog - Table Setup Help? Okay, I spent the weekend listening to my new, but small, record collection. None of the records seemed to be staticly charged this weekend, and listening was much better. I still found a fair amount of snaps and pops, but nothing like I experienc... | |
| New2Analog - Table Setup Help? UPDATE - UPDATE!I took my table to a friend who know turntables well, and we made a couple of changes. We changed out the stock cartridge and installed the LP-Gear upgraded cartridge. We used the Shure pressure measurement, and set the force to 2g... |
