| Not Another NuForce thread...... In my experience - the Nuforce is anything but thin... | |
| Not Another NuForce thread...... I have to say that the Ref 9 SE V2's certainly live up to the hype in my system. Well done NuForce. | |
| SACD certainly bests CD for me. Esoteric DV-50's can be had for a reasonable amount - and they are fantastic players.... quite close to my old Linn Unidisk 1.1. | |
| Best Speakers to Audition in the $5-10k range? I'd second Aerial Acoustics. | |
| Krell or Mark Levinson with Revel Ultima2's??? You know what I'd go with... if you buy them and don't like them I'll buy them from you! :) | |
| Krell or Mark Levinson with Revel Ultima2's??? Pull the trigger already!!! Jeez!! You know what to do! | |
| Problem with Audio Research Ref 3 or Ref 210's I can almost guarantee that you changed the gain. My LS26 does the same thing. I think the frequency to change volume may be quite close to that which adjusts the gain.This happens most often when I am holding the volume button down - versus press... | |

| Universal remote for Linn??? I'm not sure your definition of "inexpensive" - but I am using a Logitech Harmony 670 which cost me about $100 at Best Buy and it's fantastic.Their on-line database has codes for nearly every component you can imagine - from Linn to Meridian to Au... | |
| Blockbuster goes Blu-ray, HD DVD=beta?, This is almost reason enough for me to buy an HD-DVD machine and some disks. I absolutely dispise Blockbuster and am enjoying watching them suffer from Netflix.I think this will hurt HD but I also think that there are lots of people like me who do... | |
| Linn CD12 vs. EMM CDSA Davemitchell -How would you compare the Unidisk 1.1 to the CD12? I own a 1.1 and simply love it - but always wondered how it stacked up to the 12.The CD7 is an amazing player - and if I didn't like SACD so much I'd probably own one.TIAJim | |
| The passing of Marianne Barber of Joule Electra My condolonces to the Barber family. | |
| Wadia 861se vs. Linn Unidisc SC I had the SC and the pre-amp is nothing to write home about. I would try adding a nice pre-amp and defeating the internal pre in the SC.It's a very good player IMO.Good luck.Jim | |
| is it worth it? Go get a 1.1 and let it downconvert all the MC to 2-channel. It suuuuure sounds good! :)See you over on Tropica!Seriously however - I say go for it. |
