| Difference between a Classe DR-3 VHC & DR-3B I easily drove Apogee Duetta ribbon speakers with a DR3 for years so I'm not sure you NEED a VHC. Both amps are a pure class A design; the VHC is quite a bit bigger physically and certainly delivers mucho current. Unless you're driving a 1 ohm loa... | |
| 25 customs/tax fee to ship audio to Canada ?? Canadian buyers would be better off buying used gear within Canada. Failing that, Fed Ex is a much better carrier than UPS (who rob you blind on customs paperwork charges). If you don't already frequent Canuck Audiomart it's worth a look:http://ww... | |
| Linn or VPI Oracle Delphi V would be my only pick. Do some research on this 'table...it's easy to set up, infinitely tweakable, and very easy to swap arms if you're so inclined. It's also drop dead gorgeous. | |
| What's the funniest or dumbest thing you did? How many cantilevers/tone arm leads can you bust off before it's no longer funny, and you're dumb? | |
| B&W VS Dynaudio ......... Damon,Not being familar with your room or your musical preference it's hard to narrow down specific models, not to mention interaction with your gear.. I've owned Apogee Duetta II ribbon speakers (God I wish I had never sold them), and currently o... | |
| B&W VS Dynaudio ......... Damon,Over the years I've considered buying 801 or 802's but found the sound a bit "polite". B&W have one of the best midranges on any speaker I've heard, but the high-end is too rolled off for my liking. Every time I consider purchasing a pai... | |
| marantz rc2000 durable? Seems to be a pretty rugged unit, but you'll need a rocket scientist to program the damned thing. If you're lucky enough to get it programmed, be prepared to operate it on behalf of your family cuz they'll never figure it out. I sold mine out of f... | |
| Criminy, I've reached 300 threads 63 threads initiated, 500 answered. Oh, and of course my opinion is 100% valuable and correct. Always. hehehehe | |
| Auctions - why bid early? I bid early via proxy bidding all the time. The way I figure it, I'll set my max and if I'm sniped so be it. My max is truly my max so there's no need to worry about being beaten; the same item will come up for bids again shortly. For those who wa... | |
| SEPT 11? 9/11 was something that we should never, ever have to tolerate. This one hit home, and hit hard. Not only have innocent lives been lost, but we now find the freedom we took for granted compromised. A first foreign hit on American soil, yet so much... | |
| Robert Cray like sound Downchild Blues Band, not to be missed | |
| Yet Another Yamaha T-2 Restoration Question: I would take the cover off, clean it thoroughly, then use a flat black spray paint. Shake the can constantly, use even deliberate passes with the spray paint. Stop every three passes and run the tip under some water to clean it. Four or five light... | |
| Audio as a hobby I golf and swim in the summer, play hockey twice a week in the winter, actively coach my kid's sports, and also partake in extreme skiing. | |
| Senn HD600 headphones = what Speakers? Depends on your source material, associated components, and room. I have 600's, real nice cans. I have two systems that sound better, but they ought to given the price differences | |
| System for weekly traveller to use in hotel room I travel weekly as well, ain't business travel glamorous? When I travel by car I bring along my Swans M200 powered speakers and my Panasonic portable CDP. The Swans weigh 40 lbs and are bulky, not ideal for plane travel. But..damned nice speakers ... |
