| Running a CD player directly into power amps, I have recently found a CD player which bests the sound through a pre-amp and comes damn close to vinyl. If all you use is digital, the Audio Aero Capitole 24/192 may be perfect for your situation. It has a gain control with remote and has a huge ... | |
| Best all Canadian system Verity Audio and Lammhorn Speakers. Both terrific products, especially the finest amps in the world... The Tenor Audio Amplifiers. | |
| Balanced or SET Which one is more musical? Need help Balanced. | |
| KIMBER SELECT 3038 Jena Labs cable would be my first choice. Nordost cables would be my second. Either of them would be a big improvement over the AQ stuff as well as the Kimber Select. | |
| Replace ML Requests w/ B W 802's I would highly recommend the Piega P-10's. They will give you what you like in the ML's but tremendous bass and dynamics. I personally like them far better than the 802's. I have not heard a speaker under $30,000 that betters them. | |
| What is the story with 24 bit masters 24/96 . They have been remastered at the higher bit rate but are still standard PCM. The 24/96 re-issues are generally quite a bit better sounding but DAC's do not see them as more than 16 bit. It is just like the CD's that you have that are recorded at 2... | |
| Is a 12' X 16' room big enough for stereo? No Problem. If you are going to ever move to real big speakers it could get to be a problem. There are other things to take into consideration as well as the room dimensions... flooring, walls, etc. | |
| CARDAS speakercable:warm and details? or warm? I would say the Cardas is not as neutral as many of the other cables I have heard. I also find the Cardas cables to be a bit bloated in the lower mids. As far as warmth, I would probably call them more laid back than warm. | |
| Mark Levinson No.37 and 36s Vurs ML 39 CD Player If you would consider the new 390s, I would go that route over either of the other choices. The 390s uses the Anagram chipset which is a HUGE leap in digital. If it has to be between the 39 and the 36/37 combo, I would go 36/37. | |
| CJ Premier 11a vs. Audio Research VT50/VT100MKII ? I would recommend the ARC VT 100 MKII over the CJ. The ARC does a much better job with bass control and soundstage. I would also recommend the BAT VK-75-SE over either the CJ or the ARC.If you are looking for customer service, DO NOT buy ARC. CJ a... | |
| Purist Audio Dominus, Worth it? Others to consider as well are Nordost Valhalla and Jena Labs Pathfinder. All are terrific.Let us now your findings. | |
| Which integrated amp for Talon Khorus? The Tenor Audio Classic 75Wi. I think it is the finest amp in the world right now. | |
| Buying Hi-End CD Player or Transport.. Since the 39 has been replaced by the 390s and there is a significant improvement, I would not consider the "old" 39. :) The new 390s uses the Anagram DAC made famous by Audiomeca and Audio Aero. The Audio Aero Capitole 24/192 also has a gain cont... | |
| ARC Support Frank: I appreciate the fine experiences you have had with ARC and am glad to see you have not been as poorly treated as Mes and I have. While Leonard may be following company policy, he, being the "front man" for ARC, should have a bit more tact ... | |
| Buying Hi-End CD Player or Transport.. The two best that I have heard are not on your list. The Audiomeca Mephisto II CD player and the Audio Aero Capitole 24/192. Both use the Anagram dac and are far more analog sounding than anything you have mentioned. They both have incredible dept... |
