| Best used dac under $2000 Mdomnick,Not to get into politics, but who cares if Kora is a French company.There are plenty of folks here in the states who are anti-war and even anti-Bush, nobody's boycotting them are they? I believe democracy is based on tolerance and none of... | |
| ConradJohnson: Tubes or S/State for Maggies. Steelhead,I have an 11A and wasn't aware you could use KT90's in it. How would the sound be different from Svetlana 6550's and would any modification be needed? | |
| What is your listening room like? I guess I'm also a loser. I live in a 1200 square ft. apartment in DC and I listen in my living room. Don't know exact dimensions but I'm guessing 10x18. The wall behind the listening position is curved with two windows. | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Cpdunn99,For Italian Primitivo try Anfora Zinfandel. It's from Puglia, labelled as Zin buit's Primitivo and it's made by a hotshot Aussie winemaker named Chris Ringland. Best of all, it's around $9-10 retail. Happy listening and drinking!Endoit,is... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Cognac/Armagnac: Various, I have a large collection.Beer: Microbrews-Slipknot1,I love Magic Hat #9 but it's hard to find in DCWine: Leftover Samples, I'm a wine rep. Prefer Italian and French. | |
| Laid back, mellow, sax/jazz Anything by Ben Webster, particularly with Art Tatum and Oscar Peterson. | |
| Audiogon Grammys Dave Alvin and the Guilty Men, "Out In California" a killer live album of great songs. | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. Definitely cables! ;) | |
| Timbre TT1 DAC I woned this DAC for a while. It's excellent, very warm, liquid, and musical. It also doesn't shortchange you on detail. Build quality is excellent. An all around super DAC, especially at used prices. I believe there's one on here now for 645, a s... | |
| Overrated & Underrated Tenniswino,Dunn is sold through regular distribution channels, I work for a fine wine wholesaler in DC. There also is a mailing list. It really shouldn't be that hard to find, the market for high end Cali wine is really drying up. | |
| tube preamps c-j Premiere 14. There's an auction for one right now, they typically go gor about 2K and are remote controlled and fairly compact in terms of height. | |
| Overrated & Underrated Cpdunn99,Contact Dunn directly. If Illinois allows direct shipping I'm sure they'd sell you some. If not them probably many internet merchants would as well. Try Winebid.com, there are often great auction deals on high end wines. Good luck! | |
| 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), ... |
