| persoanlity and speaker preference MrT,Something tells me you have some sort of cone/stat/planar hybrid right? | |
| Is this safe? Why not just get some good RCA/XLR adapters from Ayre or BAT and try it out. If the sound isn't good enough just sell them. | |
| persoanlity and speaker preference Cones/boxes here, and I'm mean, stupid, and arrogant. So what's your point? | |
| Reliable valve suppliers on web Luna,Are you by chance in the UK? Just asking because you said valve and not tube. If you are then you might prefer UK suppliers rather than US, right? | |
| I made up my mind what to buy for Triangle Celius Congratulations!! You'll love the system, no matter which amp you choose, Triangle speakers adore tubes. Personally I prefer EL34's to KT88's so I would go with the One. Happy listening!! | |
| What speakers use a "minimal" crossover? Reference 3A speakers have no crossovers and are very efficient, perfect for SET's and other low power amps. | |
| Do you know of small speakers that sound ''BIG'' ? My JMlabs Micro-Utopias play quite large in my fairly small room. They're more than sufficient and my previous speakers were big floorstanding Alon Lotus'. I would say inroom bass get's into the mid 40's for me and it's quite tight and punchy. | |
| what are your views regarding reviewing styles ? I would have to say that your second example of a "review", a factual description without opinion, isn't really a review. If I want product descriptions I'll go to a manufacturers website, but what I, and many others, want is the opinion of an exp... | |
| what is a high end component ? Um, who cares? I mean if you like a piece of gear then you like it, who cares if some arbitrary expert says it's "high end". I honestly think that it's thinking like that which makes audio so forboding for novices who might appreciate a good stereo. | |
| Best DAC $1000 and under used There is a balanced Timbre TT-1 dac on here right now for $850, list about $4K. I have no relation to the seller but I used to own this dac and it's still a great performer and very analog like. It was underrated even in it's day, the company is o... | |

| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need I'll take any jazz cd's you don't want, and I am serious if it can be worked out. | |
| what is the purpose of a stereo system ? Actually Pawlowski6132 I never said that there aren't different levels of quality in sound reproduction. Obviously a Porsche and a Hyundai do the same basic thing, but do it very differently. Similarly a high end system allows you to listen to mus... | |
| Best for Least: Power strip, what's best? I second the Wiremold. In my system it replaced a Chang Lightspeed CLS3200 and it was an improvement. Not bad for around 50 bucks. | |
| Suggestions on used CD Player with Volume Control Keep an eye out for a used Wadia 830. They sell quickly but they're usually around $1800 or so. If you could stretch to about $2500 you might find a used Resolution Audio Opus 21, an excellent player. Also there are occasionally older Accuphase pl... |
