| Audio Research PH3 ideas: i do not know about the diy switch. but michael percy audio sells a se type upgrade kit for the ph3. i hear it is essentially the same thing as the arc version. i did not do the upgrade. i just bought a different phono stage.fwiwjim | |
| I need help with getting monies back i agree with sktn77a. i would call the d/a in lubbock and tell him you are holding a 2500$ nsf check for the mfg. which i believe is a felony in most states (depends on the dollar amount). or explain this to the mfg and make him send you a money o... | |
| What do you do when the kids come along? well first off your audio budget goes to the back burner. so my advice is get your system where you can live with it for a while (believe me; kids are way more important and rewarding than any material thing).I agree with artemus; i had to hide my... | |
| H/T integration-AGAIN 1). why would you want to integrate this equipment. use the cj for music and adcom for ht. besides; if you are really blowing things away in ht...there is a chance you will clip your amps. something i would not want to do into expensive music spea... | |
| PV-10, PV-11, PV-12, SFL-1 Sig or LS2? Help i do not think you are going to get the euphonic sound out of an ls2. i would also look at an audible allusions; counterpoint 3.1 or 5.1; arc sp6; all of these have a pretty good phono section if you ever get the itch.good luck | |
| Amp Suggestions For A Newbie - Please my vote is the anthem amp 1. you might want to look at some spendor speakers; our musical tastes are close and these imo a better musical sound.a tube integrated might be the way to go; vtl; arc or rogue would do nicely....a little higher than you... | |
| Step Up or Step Down? look at the mithchell kotter (i think it is spelled correctly). it can only be purchased used. it is a very good step up. it is also hard to find as it is sought after. it is better than what you are looking at. imojim | |
| CAL CL-15 or Audiomeca Obsession? one thing to consider about the cal 15. it does not have a digital out. it cannot be used as a transport. i have not heard the audiomeca obession so i cannot comment on the sound between the two. i did own a cal 15. it does need a pre amp to sound... | |
| amp help - joule - transcendent - berning - atma i really appreciate the advice...it is very sound (no punn intended) i "think" my systems lacks a little pratt. it is extremely musical....maybe a little slow. i want to seek some advice as i will keep the rogues and a-b them against the other amp... | |
| What are some excellent mid -priced tuners? i second the mac 67. at your price range i do not think you can do better. marantz 10b if you can find one at that price level. i have heard the md and fanfare. a little thin to my tastes. sounds like radio. imo.good listening | |
| 19th Nervous Breakdown... i have seen some good deals on vpi hw series tables here. i think that would be the trick. i recently did the same thing and have never been happier. i bought a vpi hw19m3 it came with the old sds and fr64fx arm for 900$ i put a shelter 501m2se ca... | |
| Rogue Owners Unite i have rogue 120 monos (stock). i have upgraded the tubes to nos rca's and tunsol 6550's. i recommend replacing the 12ax7 with a good nos tube. i had never heard the amps before and when i bought them....they sounded average. changing the ax7 made... | |
| Tube Tuner: Eico HF92A and Mcintosh MR 65 i have not heard the 65 to 67. i can comment on someone who has and they say the 67 is significantly better. i do know that my 67 is amazing. i have heard live broadcasts of the local symphony.....holly smokes! my unit is stock w/o ever being work... | |
| DIGITAL UPGRADE DILEMMA i say a good amp will probably serve you better too. i favor tubes. arc; rogue; vtl; cj. one that will suit your musical tastes and power needs. this will probably put the music back in your system that you are looking for.good luckjim | |
| Best Used DAC for 1000? i second the birdland odeon lite. great sound at a modest price. i a/b'd against p1/p3 with pwr supply. (it did not have the mods....but shame on them for not making it right to begin with imo). birdland gave me a more analog sound. anyway i am ru... |
