| friend is looking for good $800-$1200 cd player I still think the balanced Theta Miles player is a steal at less than $1000.00 used. Depending on your system, you can get the advantage of the built in analogue volume control and bypass a preamp. Highly recommended. | |
| Can Kimber 8TC be converted to biwiring? Yes. Any kimber dealer should be able to reterminate these for you. | |
| Upgrading: What to use with Dynaudio 3.3's? Audition a BAT 6200 amp. You can but a 2 channel version and get a multichannel version when you do the HT thing. Dynaudio's need high current amps to sing. Have Fun. | |
| Fuse for Tice Powerblock II Radio Shack, Auto supply stores, Hardware stores. Good luck.-Karl | |
| Looking for a digital front end... Theta Miles. "detailed sound, with good pace, slam and bass." That's what Theta is known for. | |
| Review: AudioQuest Ruby Interconnect I also started my first Hi-Fi system with the rubies. While they are not the most detailed interconnect, they are very enjoyable and "Musical." I'll always recomend these interconnects. On Audiogon, these little rotters can be found for a steal! A... | |
| audio newbie question Depending on the size of your room, I would check out the Vandersteen 2ce signature. Still one of the best values in hi end. They sound better and better as you improve the upstream signal. Very musical. Listen to a pair. | |
| Recommendations for used cd player I would second the suggestion for a Theta Miles. A definate bargain that would complement your excellent system. It is a huge step up from the very good Rotel and EAD. | |
| Bi-wiring...tell me more Yes you can biwire. The only thing you need is the correct speaker cable. Bi-wire speaker cable involves a single set of terminations on the amp end and a dual set on the speaker end. Like two runs of speaker cable combined into one at the amp end... | |
| New Massive Attack LP: 100 th Window Check out the review in www.pitchforkmedia.com This album doesn't sound too promising. That won't stop me from buying it of course.-Karl | |
| $2000 CDP for Rock Music???? I would consider a Theta Miles. Preferably a balanced version (two DACs per channel.) I also listen to the genre of music you describe and I can tell you that the Miles seems to get the rhythm and pacing of rock music perfectly. I think you will f... | |
| Little Know Speaker Builders I don't know if this counts as "little known" but... I would seriously consider North Creek speakers.www.northcreekmusic.com Lee Taylor will build any of the cabinets and installing the crossovers and drivers is not rocket science. The quality of ... | |
| Tightening binding posts problem Some posts are just not going to get tight without stripping themselves. I had this problem and converted my posts to WBT's. Now no problems. A couple hundred dollars later of course (darn BiWire!)-Karl | |
| Earplugs for conerts? What? | |
| Sigur Ros KID-A's Daddy ? They are currently touring the U.S.A. Nice live show.I don't really hear the Kid A in their Agaetis Byrjun. To me they have a very retro 80's sound. Like a sedated Sugarcubes meets the Jesus and Mary Chain. Well descriptions are pretty worthless. ... |
