| CD Changer advice Sugarbrie, have you tried the Aiwa in your system? I got one and have only used it as a transport for a few days so it is not burned in. It's ok for background music, but in its stock form is about as good as my 9 year old Marantz cd94 as a transp... | |
| My first tube amp! HELP PLEASE! What will work best will be highly dependent on your loudspeakers. You may also need to change your speaker cables to something more revealing. My first all tube amps were a pair of used Quicksilvers. If these are in your price range, they are wor... | |
| Toshiba DVD as transport, mods? I have not had the opportunity to try a DVD player as a transport, but have read mixed reviews about them. Some people swear by them-others say they are a little lean sounding in comparison to a good cd transport. I have tried several transports a... | |
| Pre-amp for a NYAL Moscode 300? I forgot to mention that I had my unit modified twice. The first mod was to upgrade it to what NYAL called the Maxi version. This was done by a dealer-Landes Audio in Chester, NJ. The second mod was done by George Kaye and it involved changing the... | |
| Pre-amp for a NYAL Moscode 300? I had a Moscode 300 many years ago until one of the resistors burned out. The company went out of business at the same time. I was able to get the unit repaired by its designer, but I do not know if he is still doing such work. I used a Berning TF... | |
| Favorite Christmas Song & Album. For sound quality-Cante Domino on Proprius Records. Favorite cut is O Holy Night. Even though I don't understand German, it still gives me the chills. Excellent soundstaging and dimensionality. For pure fun-Manheim Steamroller Christmas. Favorite ... | |
| Anyone tried Stan Warren/Supermod Player I paid $85 plus $5 shipping (list price was $89.95) with a 30 day trial. I am going to listen to the player in its stock mode before deciding to send it for modifications. However, Stan Warren does make a credible case for his mods. Either way it ... | |
| Anyone tried Stan Warren/Supermod Player The Aiwa mod is $130. plus shipping. I did not ask about a warranty. The mod includes some internal parts upgrades and fitting it with a special digital cable (included) that will plug into the toslink input of a dac. For $90 (cost of player) plus... | |
| Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts 1. Led Zeppelin Madison Sq Garden in 1974 2. Sly and the Family Stone Madison Sq Garden 1970 3. Around 1976, I went to see Loggins & Messina at the Spectrum in Phila. and their warm up band practically blew them off the stage. The warm up band... | |
| Oracle Delphi Power supply I bought a custom made power supply from Taylor House in North Carolina but that was over 10 years ago and I do not know if he (Robert Taylor) is still in business. It made a noticeable improvement in the bass and dynamics of the 'table and it had... | |
| Anyone tried Stan Warren/Supermod Player Thanks, Sugarbrie. I have just ordered the Aiwa XC37M cd changer from J&R for $90 in order to add a changer to my main system for background music. I have read that Stan Warren does some mods and has a special digital cable that works with it. | |
| Anyone tried Stan Warren/Supermod Player How do you get in touch with Stan Warren? | |
| "Burn in" Are you serious? I have taken some flack for my view on burn in, but here is MHO. I do believe in burn in... I do I do I do. I agree with most of what has been said above, which is in line with my experiences. I do not believe that something which sounds absolutel... | |
| Best Spk. Cables for Vandy 2CE I am using a bi-wired set of XLO VDO speaker cables, but I am using Quicksilver Monoblock amps. This combination is very synergistic with the 2ce's. These cables will not work on a solid state amp-they are too revealing. If I didn't know about the... | |
| Advice on LAT International Cables If you want a vivid sound with lots of detail, then the LAT's may work for you. On the other hand, if you want a lusher, richer sound, suggest you try MIT, Harmonic Tech or Transparent Audio. I have been to Morris and Marseilles, Ill in the winter... |
