| System for a teenager Albert, what is the budget they gave you to work with? Sounds like the speakers are a "given" and you want to add amp and front end. Would the young man be interested in a budget analog rig too? | |
| Unsettled and considering changing stuff Sd,Wow, a very thought-provoking response, I appreciate you taking the time. If I had to try to verbalize what's missing in my system I'd have to say it's missing PRAT. This element is absent whether it's CDP or analog I'm listening to, which is w... | |
| Unsettled and considering changing stuff Sean,I am leaning towards a new phono stage at some point. I'm budgeting $2000 for the phon stage, so I hafta come up with the extra $1500 to make the upgrade. In the meantime the Lehmann isn't too bad..Rhljazz,I do fool around with different gear... | |
| Unsettled and considering changing stuff Some good suggestions and for the most part entertaining! Thanks guys. My Logan's are the Quest Z's if that makes any difference to anyone out there (more stable impedance than the original Quests). Yeah, those shows are evil. I fell in love with ... | |
| Return to analog Plenty of good advice here, including some fine 'tables and arm/catridge combinations. I've read up on the Denon cartridges, supposedly very good and very reasonably priced. You may want to consider mounting a Denon on the 'table/arm of choice. Be... | |
| Unsettled and considering changing stuff Oh, left out the obvious. Part of the challenge; I would pay for any "upgrades" by selling off the current villain(s) for something else. No budget to throw some cash into the mix, but most of my gear is fairly pricey anyway and would fetch a fair... | |
| Audio CD-R's versus regular CD-R's? Dbamac,"Wrong side of the grass"? I love it! Reminds me of when I worked on a golf course in my college days..we had to lay a bunch of sod and I worked alongside a guy who mumbled "green side up, green side up" all day. Of course you're right in p... | |
| Audio CD-R's versus regular CD-R's? Buy your music; stealing is stealing. How will your favorite artists make a living if no one is willing to pay for their work? "It's an industry problem, let them deal with it"? "the musicians make enough touring to support themselves"? Not when t... | |
| Power Line Pillow Steve,I was toying around with it at CES, Blue Circle had a demo where they plugged in a noise sensing machine into an outlet, it was buzzing and humming along. Plug in the Pillow into an adjacent outlet and the noise went away. Completely. Appare... | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase Nelsjay,Decorating? I came home from a business trip and sensed there was something different about my surroundings, just couldn't put my finger on it. Rather than dwell on it I let it go, mine is not to reason why. After three weeks she got pisse... | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase I don't lie cuz I don't have to. She asks, I don't answer the question. I refuse on grounds it may incriminate me, I'm no dummy. That's not lying, it's being uncooperative. If she persists I claim there must be a loose ground wire somewhere in my ... | |
| Suggestions for small bookshelf speakers? Linn Classik with a pair of NHT SuperOne's. You'll come in under $2k and have a killer bedroom system. | |
| Monitors Mounted On Wall B&W LM1's or Gallo Micros. You'll need a sub either way, and these little guys are easy to mount on the wall and so small it's easy to not notice them at all. Bookshlef speakers I'd consider for wall mounting? I've tried many and favor the Sou... | |
| TT suggestions -- please I really enjoy threads about turntables, interesting to see other people's points of views on the most criticial piece of gear you'll likely ever own. For whatever reason I seem to be one of the few that love Oracle turntables, and yes they are a ... | |
| YBA CD Integre vs. Resolution Audio CD50 I own a YBA so consider me biased if you will. I've had my YBA for five years now and quite honestly I wouldn't trade it for any other CDP on the market. Smooth, analog sounding, non-fatiguing...can't go wrong. Few people here on 'Gon seem to reco... |
