| Your experience as Yamamoto owner? The 6moons review is here very extensive with great pics:http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/yamamoto2/45_2.htmlAnd the link I sent you earlier was from the German importers website which is quite good. The previous US importer was I believe Venus ... | |
| Dolby NR encoding - did it ever work I don't use tapes anymore but as a Deadhead back in the day it took just a few experiences with Dolby NR to never use it. It just quashed dynamics and took the life out of recordings, "stepped on" was how I used to describe them. The one proviso t... | |
| Your experience as Yamamoto owner? Hi Lewinskih01,This may not be terribly helpful as I don't own one of their amps but I'm a more than pleased owner of the YDA-1 DAC a gorgeous and fantastic sounding piece of equipment. Regarding the amps sorry to hear that your inquiries were not... | |
| Rowland's new integrated amp So just curious in what situation would you need 1500-2500 watts? I ask this legitimately I can't imagine any situation where you could come even close to max power. Or really even 1/3 to 1/2 of max power. | |
| Solid state power + tube pre or visa versa? So quite obviously "the way to go" or "preferred combo" is whatever sounds best not someones oft repeated dogma. You're off to a great start just keeping an open mind, one thing I would suggest is just don't be afraid to get it wrong. It's the jou... | |
| Virtual System updating problems. Anyone else? I like Al also corresponded with Audiogon during Beta testing of the new systems and forums and just want to say I found the staff to be very responsive and eager to hear and respond to feedback. The new format for systems is very easy to use and ... | |
| Virtual System updating problems. Anyone else? FYI the new Virtual Systems page is here:https://systems.audiogon.com/The new format is very user friendly I think they did a great job with the update. | |
| Was this Miles Davis Steamin LP a rare find? Mono is the way to go love it! Especially versus early stereo recordings! Even digitally mono rocks. | |
| What's your profession? Age? How weird I was listening to a live, 45 minute, version of Pink Floyd's echoes from 1971 over the weekend speaking of albatrosses. Or would the plural simply be albatross? Hmmm..... | |
| Funniest Quote About Your Audio "Affliction" Albert thanks for the heads up just joined What's Best and listed you as the referrer. And of course my lame-ass username from here was available :) | |
| What is the difference between McIntosh MC275 There is this thread:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1384657026&read&keyw&zzmc275And I feel like there was another on this exact topic very recently but couldn't find the thread. Do some searching though the info is h... | |
| Need Help with CD/DAC setup Yes that is correct Mark the only reason to use the digital outs is to send a pure digital signal to a separate decoder of some sort. Otherwise your unit outputs the cd your playing or the cd in the Wadia through the analog outputs. | |
| Does anyone else think this Nope sitting here thinking how good Miles Davis is sounding and wondering what's made you so grim this evening my friend? I say either have a drink......or stop drinking, but whatever you do stop thinking so damn much! | |
| Audio stores in N. Virginia? Yage I concur with you also on Gifted Listener. I used to live out in Reston and bought my first system from there a Bryston B-60 and Rega Planet combo. Tom Unger is a very nice guy and its a nice store for more mainstream SS stuff. | |
| How important is bass to you? This prompted me to run some Bass test tones through my system, JMlabs original Micro-Utopia and suffice it to say I was pleasantly surprised to hear usable output into the upper 30's. No wonder I don't feel like I'm missing much with my speakers ... |
