| Vinyl Cleaning Fluid for VPI RCM Wash with distilled or HPLC water and then vacuum at the last step regardless of what cleaning fluid you use. Why I Am Cautious About Using Record Cleaning Fluids.Most commercial record cleaning fluids do not reveal their compositions. Why I under... | |
| What is needed to have the best CD/Digital sound? Donbellphd, it depends on how you define accuracy. I hate to get off the initial thread but I dont think we can say that digital sound is inherently or potentially more accurate than analog sound or vice versa. Its all a matter of definition and... | |
| Best matching amp for Wilson W/P6, any sudgestions Hamburg, I did not have as many choices of amp and preamp as you did but I am not at all surprised by your choices and found myself in total agreement. Overall I also prefer the sound of solid-state amp and preamp with the Watts/Puppies. I also fo... | |
| What is needed to have the best CD/Digital sound? I generally agree with Tvad & Clio09. CDP/DAC is not the optimal place to get a "full, warmth, rich sound."These are euphonic colorations that are not in the digital source but will come with your preamp and amp.I am firmly on the fence when i... | |
| Buget system idea? Keep your Maggies and get a high-current amp. The Maggies are some of the best values in audio and have been for over 25 years now. I assume that you like their overall sound but feel that they are not dynamic enough--my guess--you just need a dif... | |
| Best matching amp for Wilson W/P6, any sudgestions The Watts/Puppies are rushlessly revealing of the electronics you use. That's their strength and weakness. You have two different way to go.I have used a pair of BAT-VK60 successfully. The midrange and imaging are simply stunning. The bass was ver... | |
| Your opinion on the evolution of amps since 70s? Thanks Atmasphere for a most lucid and informative discussion. That's the kind of response I was hoping for when I started this thread. I've always known that ss amps are better today than they have ever been but now I learn a great deal about tub... | |
| Help needed on a recalcitrant Sony DVP-S7000 Oxia, I think that's it!!! I will give this a try. Thanks a million. | |
| Your opinion on the evolution of amps since 70s? Jay, I wished I had the chance to hear real vintage tube amps. My experience started with Conrad-Johnson, passing through Audio Reaserch and ending with BAT today. I alternately use a solid-state amp in my system as well. I think the obscene price... | |
| CD...then the SACD...all over again Not a debate, Rob. Just a friendly exchange of opinion.I don't understand the rush to get HD DVD out either. Why do the Sony camp & the Toshiba camp both think that the public needs a higher resolution format? And if the public does want highr... | |
| What was/is the heaviest weight amp you herd/own Rowland Model 7 monoblocks, 135 lbs each. 170 lbs each with wooden crate. I know someone who owns five--yes, FIVE(5)--of these in his video system! | |
| Your opinion on the evolution of amps since 70s? Jay, your assessment is opposite of mine but I respect it, especially since my own opinion of ss-amp improvement was not based on direct comparison but only on my recollection and experience. It seems to me, however, that for about 20 years (late ... | |
| Your opinion on the evolution of amps since 70s? S23Chang, I guess we disagree on tubes but are in agreement with ss-amp improvement. I get outstanding sound out of the BATs with Watts'puppies, Celestion, and Avalon Ascent.On ss amps, I would add that even later products (up to mid-90s) could be... | |
| CD...then the SACD...all over again Rob, how is your experience with MP3 sound on your home system? I have burned several CDs with songs downloaded from my iPod (and from my laptop) and played them on my home system. The sound was...very disappointing, even slightly inferior to CD s... | |
| Your opinion on the evolution of amps since 70s? Hpims, I am also a tube lover, but I have not listened to a McIntosh in a long time so perhaps we can pool our experience. I am very much impressed by the bass of NEW tube amps like the BAT or Atmosphere: dynamic, of course, and surprisingly deep ... |
