| Turntable, where is my bass??? Valuable suggestion, thanks. I haven't got the previous Tricon anymore, I gave that back when the new IC arrived; I have no other dedicated phono IC anymore, but I will experiment a bit with one or the other IC | |
| Avalon Indra vs Sonus Faber Cremona M Bob, are you seriously talking about the Naim CD 555?I am by no means trying to be inquisitional or sarcastic as I can sense your passionate enthusiasm, but in case you are referring to the CD 555, can you please tell me what your turntable/arm/ca... | |
| Turntable, where is my bass??? No change with CD or DVD noticeable. Very minor furniture moves in the past weeks (no change in listening position or overall geometry), but if that were the cause, I would have expected a change with the other sources as well. I never had headpho... | |
| Best one-box CD player with USB input I chose Direct Master II as default setting, pretty soon actually, it appeared just that decisive bit firmer than Master I that most of my auditioning was done with (probably also a question of overall system character). Depending on the kind of m... | |
| Best one-box CD player with USB input Hi, I have the CD-77 in my system since July 2007 and have never looked back.As I have been raving a few times about this machine, perhaps Ill put one or the other thing in perspective first. I believe there is no absolute best cdp or any oth... | |
| Best one-box CD player with USB input With those requirements, out there is an AMR CD-77 that has your name on it! | |
| Clearaudio Bluemotion w/ Virtuoso..which phono pre As always, a question of how much you are willing to spend. I lived happily with the Basic for a couple of years and eventually upgraded to the Quad QC-24P (valve phono stage by Tim de Paravicini with variable output to enable direct feed into the... | |
| what's the difference? clearaudio basic/basic plus Thanks Mordante, that is an interesting observation on the Glider vs. the ACE | |
| Wireless Speakers? Do they make such thing? If one likes the sound of Canton (in the past I found Canton speakers not engaging enough but I'm being told that has changed; first grade build quality, that much is sure), the new Canton CD3500 might be the thing for a room that requires a not t... | |
| Your last speaker? Back in 2003, Rosemary and I decided to set out on a quest for our definitive speakers. In 2005 we had found them in the guise of the Tidal Contrivas. I continue to assert these are the last ones. Only ... meanwhile there is a new standard versi... | |
| Best interconnect between Ayre AX-7 and CX-7 At some point one just has to cut the knot, I suppose. I couldn't acquire some of the cables mentioned above within the budget I had set. Also, I read a few more reserved comments on the character of Cardas and, sadly, no reply from the German Ayr... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... Black Bowmore 1964; I drank and still treasure the rest of my 1995 bottled edition which was supposed to be the final ons but I have read Bowmore bottled a few hundred bottles more in November 2007. | |
| what's the difference? clearaudio basic/basic plus Hi, a bit more difficult to give cartridge recommendations. When I had the Basic in my system, Ive been using it with Clearaudio Delta Improved, Clearaudio Victory H and, lastly, Transfiguration Spirit Mk3. So thats two high output MCs and one ... | |
| Integrated Amp Bargains with good balanced sound? To be sure: the phono stage is optional in the plain Unico, so make sure it has that option should you contemplate any offers! (It comes customarily in the "P" though) | |
| Integrated Amp Bargains with good balanced sound? Couldnt agree more with the Audio Refinement Complete. However, since you mention a Rega P3 as part of your system, as far as I know, the Complete does not have a phono stage (or am I mistaken guys?). A good match with your Sonus loudspeakers wou... |
