| Out of curiosity, where does everyone live? My bad, the thread is question is titled "Who R U?", check it out. | |
| Out of curiosity, where does everyone live? I think the thread is called "where are you" and it's about 30 pages long. Anyway I'm in DC, downtown. | |
| best preamp ever - cost is no object If cost is no object then a travel budget shouldn't be either. You need to get out and listen to all of the preamps that interest you, no matter where they might be. Remember it's a process to be enjoyed every bit as much as the result. Have fun a... | |
| Best Pink Floyd recording CD or LP Meddle is by far their best. | |
| What's best for MX's? What exactly does your question mean? | |
| Kimber Select 1021 vs Nordost Red Dawn I assume that you mean you use Red Dawn for your DAC to Preamp connection? I also use Red Dawn for CD player to preamp and also preamp to amp. Using tube gear I love the sound, the extra speed and transparency of Nordost is a great match to the wa... | |
| bigger woofer always better? Yes I would since the M-L is from a highly respected high end speaker manufacturer and the BA is from a run of the mill mid-fi company. Also it's not really the size of the woofer as much as how it's implemented and the quality of the driver. A hi... | |
| Best picture from an under $400 DVD player I see, well if you like wine at all there's a real cool little store in Clarendon called Best Cellars. I'm in the wholesale wine biz and that's a good account of mine with lots of fun wines. It should be quite close to you. Also for a restaurant r... | |
| Best picture from an under $400 DVD player Hey Dan,Whereabouts in DC are you? I'm downtown, Shaw/Logan. Good to have more Goners in the hood, welcome!Cheers,JonP.S. I have a Samsung HD841 that's a pretty nice player for the price. Usually around $150 or so. | |
| dac reccomendation - xlr & tube optional Bigkidz is correct, my Tube Technology Fusion CD64 player uses the Chord 64 bit WTA Dac married to an all discrete tubed analog output stage. It's by far the best cd player I've ever owned. Also it has BNC digital ins and outs so it can be used as... | |
| starting from just about scratch w/ $600 to spend I agree with the vintage Thorens route, you can get a nice one totally set up for around $200-250, and then a used Bellari Rolls tube phono stage for just under $200 used. Then the rest of your budget can go to records or maybe a Nitty Gritty reco... | |
| Bryston vs. PS Audio I would suggest with your speakers trying tubes. For $3K lots of great stuff, like a VAC Avatar or BAT integrateds. Lot's of seperates as well, do some research and have some fun. If possible get out and listen to stuff. | |
| What should be the terms between buyer and seller Also you should talk to the seller on the phone, that's a great way for both of you to guage your comfort level with one another. You can often get a sense if a seller/buyer feels right. Good luck! | |
| Air Tight ATC-1 preamp question The two tubes inside the chassis are used for the linestage. There are three tubes on the left side of the chassis that are installed horizontally in a recessed area and these are for the phono stage. Great preamp by the way, I used to own one and... | |
| Opinions on Krell KPS 30i Please I used to own one, paid $1500 for it about two years ago and sold it for the same, and liked it very much. Astounding detail while still being musical and built like a battleship. I only sold mine because it wouldn't play most cdr's and I have a l... |
