| Best power conditioning under 400 bucks http://www.sola-hevi-duty.com/products/powerconditioning/mcr_port.htm#Selection%20TableNot sure about cost, but should do what you want without the audiophile mark up. | |
| 1 piece of audio gear I really regret selling is.. Bizango1 was right, anybody who loves great sound would understand missing the bike. The C3's, iff'n only they just had another 10 hz on the bottom . . . . | |
| I am sick of cables "markupting" - Nasaman. That new audiophile term is worth the whole thread. Threadwise, after much time and money spent on cables the biggest thing I've learned is that you don't need to spend a lot of money on cables. | |
| Cayin A70T has bogus tube rectification? I think what sets Cayin apart here is that they pushed the limits too far and got caught. It is ok to sell stuff that doesn't do anything good or anything at all for that matter, but you've got to leave a possibility of reasonable doubt. | |
| Are contact treatments worth the money? Hard to beat Markphd's original response. Nothing wrong with also doing a little wiping with fine emery & cleaning if desired. Away from the audiophile world you are not likely to find high cost fairy goop in critical signal paths (I think the... | |
| Would you buy used headphones? You are more likely to catch something from a door knob or a hand shake. Most people put their hands in places they wouldn't put their heads. Hadn't thought about the buggerinfested shopping cart (with or without infant drool). | |
| CD players with volume control for $1.5-2k used Njoe Tjoeb, below the price range but with volume control & a good player that is a bit configurable to taste (tube & chip options, etc.). | |
| Anyone else miss audiophile nervosa? Hmmm, I should not have noted which album happened to be spinning when I started the thread. Next time I'll make sure it's "Kind of Blue" or something else that doesn't seem contriversial.Thanks all for inspiring some thoughts. Rodman99999 - I thi... | |
| Does anyone out there NOT hear a difference in CD "The digital era is just beginning to give birth to itself." There's a mental image fer ya. | |
| Advice from vinyl types on a good CD player Stock Njoe Tjoeb for bright cds. Hagtec dac for well recorded cd's. I couldn't find one box that did well on both. | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones If you decide that you like to think you can hear a difference in power cords, then it makes sense for you to like to think you can hear a difference in fuses too. | |
| best artists in the last 15 years Jennie Devo (rock) is special. | |
| how does rogue zeus compare cat or atma-sphere? Pubu157 - Too bad none of us has heard all 3 so we can help with the original question. In any case, no debate with your comments. To the original poster I only intended too share my experience. What I have found is that buying an amplifier is a b... | |
| Intergrateds: BAT's VK-300X /SE or Simaudio i-7 Sally,That may give you what you want, do not know of any reason why it would be a bad approach.I'm biased toward the moon because of the better warranty and because I'm irritated with BAT and because I've always sorta wondered how I'd like one. N... | |
| how does rogue zeus compare cat or atma-sphere? You are starting with the assumption that the more expensive pieces are as good or better than the still expensive but more reasonably priced unit. In my experience that is a bad assumption. |
