| Aesthetix Calypso and Berning ZH270 combo noise. Is it perhaps that the transparency of the Berning is just letting you hear the noise of the Calypso more clearly? | |
| Good Preamp with Digital Input Bryston has one, I think the model number just changed from the BP-25DA to the BP-26DA or something like that. It's supposed to be just a regular analog preamp with a dac card in place of one of the inputs. If it's from Bryston it's probably prett... | |

| Tube Preamplifier Time Velocityofhue,If I read your post correctly it sounds like you auditioned a VTL 5.5 at a dealer and then bought one on Audiogon. That's a pretty big no-no ethically speaking. If a dealer is spending the time and effort to set up demos for you he s... | |
| Help with stripped screw head I want to thank everyone. At your advise I went out and got a srew removal bit for my drill and mission accomplished. Thanks for the advice, you guys always come through in a crisis. | |
| Tube takeover Let's pray that the forces of good, if they exist in Russia, somehow put a stop to this! | |
| Anybody heard of CEC I think of Austilia? CEC is famous for their belt drive cd transports and I'm pretty sure their from Japan, but I could be wrong. Supposed to be great gear, very liquid and analog sounding. | |
| Stray current through my audio rack??? Derrick,Be careful, we'd hate to lose you to electrocution! | |
| Proac 3.8's vs Spendor SP100's Contact Vu at Deja Vu Audio, he carries both lines and can give you an honest perspective. | |
| Will low voltage lights cause audible hum? I believe that dimmer switches cause hum, so be sure not to use those. Beyond that I'm not sure if low voltage lights would be an issue or not, but I'm sure some of the knowledgable folks on here will have some thoughts. | |
| TRELJA almost In New York, 2006 Thanks Joe, very nice. Just wondering since you mentioned sloppy lower bass on several speakers, do you think this may just be an overall room issue? I mean I realize the room is always a factor I just find it interesting that your comments about ... | |
| 1cdp/ 1 int. amp/ 1 outlet.... If you want simplicity, value, and great sound do yourself a favor and try out a Wiremold powerstrip. It does no harm and it's so well made with no junk on it that in my opinion it outpreforms many power conditioners, some of which do more harm th... | |
| SACD player recommendations? Doesn't Music Hall have a SACD player called the Maverick or something? I'm pretty sure that player falls within you price range though I don't know if it plays hdcd. But if you like the sound of your Mambo and it seems as if you do then you'll pr... | |
| does a stereo system sound like live music ? Don't you mean, "Provocitus Trollisaurus"? | |
| Duke Ellington Blue,Yes when we moved into a much smaller condo I trade my beloved Alon Lotus SE's for a pair of JMlabs Micro-Utopias. I thought I would miss the bass but not at all, the bass I have is tight and punchy and the transparency is addictive. Plus the... |
