| Building a system for a friend...Please Help If they're willing to buy used you could probably find an ARC CA-50 for around 12-1300 and plenty of excellent used CD players in the 7-800 range. | |
| SACD transports? Which models can transmit SACD? You could buy the insanely expensive Accuphase SACD transport, they have a proprietary link that would transmit to your DP-75v if you had the SACD card, but the 75v could not ouput the SACD data any further. Sound confusing? It is! | |
| Overrated & Underrated Tenniswino, We're definitely far apart on politics, but to each they're own. As far as wine goes, I agree with Montelena, Forman, and Dunn, but not Caymus or Silver Oak. If you can, check out Von Strasser, Kamen (very small Sonoma Mtn. producer), ... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? If I'm allowed two, I'd have to add Bill Frisell. | |
| Overrated & Underrated Tenniswino, I have to ask, Silver Oak, Reagan, and Celine Dion was sarcasm wasn't it? | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Jerry Garcia | |
| I am looking for a smoothest sounding outboard DAC There's a Timbre TT1 Dac on here now for $645, which is a steal. An oldie but a goodie, and super smooth. | |
| What preamp for my Shahinians? I think you'd be wiser to divide that 6K between a new amp and preamp. You could certainly do a lot better than that Rotel to drive your Shahinians. Maybe a BAT tubed pre and solid state power amp combo might be good. I'm sure others will have sug... | |
| HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas Fpeel, You're probably right. Besides AA would probably get to vitrolic anyway. I also concur FS Audio is coming through like a champ. Way to go guys. | |
| HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas I'm having to agree with Sean and Jcbtubes here. The distributor by offering an upgrade that costs $695 is in essence selling a product. I can't imagine that this product, like all other products he sells, doesn't have a decent profit margin built... | |
| Source vs Target: where is the weakness? Isn't the listener the target? Perhaps we should be upgrading ourselves! Easier said than done. | |
| Real Stinkers I also think "Love Art" is fabulous. One of my favorites. | |
| Real Stinkers Mdoughty,I kinda gave up on picking up any new Bela albums after Left of Cool so I've never heard Outbound. I know the band changed composition, but that didn't necessarily mean they had to change musical direction as well. Anyway I stand by Left ... | |
| New product arrival and set up procedure Sean,Kudo's to you for an informative post that touches on a subject matter not often discussed, component temperatures. Bringing items to room temp is an excellent idea that most of us probably never consider. Thank you and Happy New Years! | |
| HELP Electrocompaniet stole Christmas I absolutely agree with Tok2000, Electrocompanient does not deserve your business. Their actions stand in stark contrast to manufacturers who support their product no matter what, no questions asked (i.e. Bryston, Madrigal). A bad business move an... |
