| Any experiences with Sutherland gear? I should have added my current preamp is an Edge Signature One, would the Sutherland be an upgrade, a lateral move, or a downgrade? | |
| B&W 801 s 3 or???? If you're looking for presence get a tubed preamp. I'm serious, you'll frankly be astonished at the difference, music seems to really project from the speakers when using one. | |
| Will a transformer, 220 to 100v, ruin the sound? I was told by Tom Tutay, a well respected tube amp tech, that a step up or step down transformer would better isolate the piece of equipment in question from the ac line and would thus be a good thing. I never tried it so I don't really know. | |
| Cyrus amps - what do they sound like? What's GB? | |
| The best band you've never heard of Neil,The Spankers are an Austin Band as well, must be something in the water, or the whisky, down there. | |
| The best band you've never heard of To all,Just go to their website and order direct. The prices are reasonable, $15 per cd, and the money goes right to the band. Trust me they are really excellent, Slappy and Gunbei I know you guys like to poke fun, so do I, but seriously don't mis... | |
| Speakers with forward midrange? Spendor speakers are noted for having excellent midranges, and I would also recomment my own speakers, Alon Lotus SE MKIII's which use an dipole midrange drives utilizing alnico magnets which give the midrange nice projection. I saw a pair for sal... | |
| What wire config for tri-wired speakers? I'll second Spencer's recommendation, I currently own tri-wired Alons and use the Alon Black Orpheus cable to excellent effect. I would characterize it as being quite neutral. As an added bonus it is very flexible and easy to work with. Good luck! | |
| Sound is too thin. What to upgrade, add or remove? I agree with everything above with one thing to add. Get your preamp off your cd player!! You have a potentially microphonic preamp with exposed tubes and handling low level signals and you have it sitting on a component that has moving parts and ... | |
| Besides Audio, what other ''passion'' do you have? Watching the O's and Maryland Basketball. (And sometimes football)Wine and fine spirits. (Though it's my job) | |
| Your First System Some kind of boombox, I forget what brand. I then bought a cd player but ran it through my ex-girlfriend's Onkyo reciever so I guess that doesn't really count. I guess that makes my 1st truly real system a Rega Planet, a Bryston B-60, some kind of... | |
| Blue Note RVG Editions remasters, sound better? I would also recomment checking out the Verve Master Editions, easy to find, excellent sound, nice packaging, regular cd prices. | |
| Blue Note RVG Editions remasters, sound better? You can by the direct from Fantasy Records at this linkhttp://www.fantasyjazz.com/html/20-bits_main.htmlBut I usually just buy them at my local record shop. | |
| Blue Note RVG Editions remasters, sound better? I may sound like a broken record, but don't forget the K2's, same mastering chain as XRCD's for normal cd prices. A great deal, I'm collecting 'em all. | |
| Hum and s-video cable? It has nothing to do with your s-video cable it is a ground loop hum probably related to cable television. I'm assuming you have cable tv, if so get a cheater plug from any hardware plug to check, if the hum disapears when the ground is lifted you... |
