| Transport Help Joe, good points. You are right about the Data (and Monarchy DT40, too). The transport mechanisms are no longer available. However, these are such good performers, and so undervalued, that for me it's a moot point. Canabalize another for the trans... | |
| Transport Help For $500 check out the Theta Data or the Monarchy DT40. These are universal transports (play various sizes of CD's and LD's) and work extremely well. Both are based on high end Japanese players (Sony and Phillips, Japan) that were re-worked by the... | |
| HELP I THINK IM IN OVER MY HEAD Re: previous post... I meant the HTS2000. | |
| HELP I THINK IM IN OVER MY HEAD Hi Dave. You might consider the DH Labs T12 for your system and save some money, given the amount you'll likely be using. The T14 is a great cable for the money but the T12 is positioned for HT applications and, IMHO, I doubt that you'll notice an... | |
| Where can I get small apogee speakers? The Stage had a longer ribbon and was larger than the Minors. The Centaur (not Major, not Minor) had the same size ribbon as the Stage but used a bigger driver than the Minor (8" vs 6"). The Major had a longer ribbon than the Stage and a 10" drive... | |
| Monster HTM 3500 conditioner is noisy Previous post should have referred to two HTS 2000's. | |
| Monster HTM 3500 conditioner is noisy I have two HTS 200's that I purchased primarily as surge protection and was surprised at the positive effect on my system. They run silently so if yours hums it's most likely a lemon. | |
| Where can I get small apogee speakers? Stands made by Apogee were mandatory for Centaur Minor performance, making them about the same size as the Centaur. This isn't exactly a small speaker, at least not compared to the bookshelf variety. | |
| Speaker wire is it science or psychology Psychology *is* a science. It's all in your mind, Steven ;-) | |
| Best tubes for modulus 3A P.S. The Siemens are 6DJ8's. | |
| Best tubes for modulus 3A I'm very pleased with 60's vintage Siemens in my M3 I also know someone who swears by the Mullard gold pins. IMHO the Siemens offer better detail and a more neutral character, but tubes are very subjective (what isn't?) and strictly a matter of ta... | |
| Okay Ladies One thing I do notice about female audiophiles is the lack of antagonism regarding equipment. There doesn't seem to be the "your stuff sucks because I say so, and mine is bigger and better" attitude that the rest of us have from time to time (yes,... | |
| Okay Ladies I think I'm going to take a cold shower now. | |
| Original Box VS No Box...does it matter? Patriot, I think that the title of the thread should have been "I've Been Screwed". Aside from the box, you were told that this was a near mint CD player. You received the unit with a stuck drawer, covered with dust and no remote. Now it malfuncti... | |
| DH Labs Q10 Correction to my previous post... looking for *low impendance/low inductive* cables. I've been think about this WAY to much lately. ;-) |
