| Digital vs. Analog sonics I have gone back and followed the steps necessary to play a CD as I outlined above and the results were not surprizingly closer, as they should be. If anyone else incurs this problem with a Pioneer DVD try going through the steps listed before.Tha... | |
| Power Amp suggestions in $2000 range ? I like the Bel Canto EVO series. They go for a lot less than $2k used and are great sounding. The 120 WPV EVO had better slam, control and in every other sonic way better than my extremely modded Hafler 9500 on top and the NHT SA3 on the bottom co... | |
| Digital vs. Analog sonics Thanks for the responses and I also have just remembered a problem that is inherent to the Pioneer DVD players. When you place a cd in this transport and close the drawer you need to let the player find and indicate the cd format. If you push play... | |
| Red headed stranger or the man in black? I've been a Cash fan since I was a kid, it started with "A Boy named Sue." His country music as well as his Folk music in latr years crossed many boundaries in my life and I don't even particularly care for country. I can't find much interest in N... | |
| Are Horn Speakers good or bad or simply a complete joke? I'm going to hang on to my Realistic Mach 1's! I've seriously wondered if there was something I could do with these to reach the sonic level previous members have shared. Any suggestions or are these a joke? | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 I'm the owner of the Aragon 4004 MK II with current pictures and actaully if I remember there are two transformers, stacked. As I look close at the photos I took I'm even more sure of it. I too have owned an Adcom 555 and do prefer the Aragon soun... | |
| Which tube amp to buy? Thank you all for your input. I'm going ahead and buying the Harmon Kardon. There is a picture of this exact amp at http://pages.prodigy.net/jimmcshane/citpage.htm. It sounds as though it should do the job quite well. Thanks again for all your ass... | |
| Audible Illusions Modulus 3A problems The Preamp sounds FANTASTIC and I may just mute the signal when I change the volume for a while. The $850.00 and up is more than I want to consider but eventually I may go for the $250.00 fix. I appreciate the response from the factory, this is a ... | |
| Shipping Speakers, watch out I had the UPS Store pack and ship a pair of ADS towers from AZ to Ca. I paid $252.50 total and they were destroyed in route. The UPS driver sets the two boxes on the porch of the buyer with gaping holes in both boxes and packing peanuts literally ... | |
| What's the funniest or dumbest thing you did? I was in a hurry to put a new NYAL Moscode 300 Maxi into my system. All of this shuffling combined with living in hot Arizona worked up a sweat pretty quickly. As I was plugging in and turning on the Moscode a single drop of sweat rolled off my fo... | |
| A new ploy for fraud? This same guy from England tried to buy an amp I was selling. I caught on up front and am trying to help the police now. He will buy an item as reported and have a third party send a cashiers check , which is bad and worth nothing. I actually rece... | |
| speaker cables with a warm sound I have always found Purist Audio to be very warm and maybe even dark. The Elementa is affordable, well built, detailed, yet warm. These are about 80 -85% of the Colosus sound for a fraction of the cost. |
