| Manley Stingray II...a quick review.... I'm interested in hearing more about the Stingray II after some more break in of it and the speakers that are on the way.I agree completely with what you said about the iPod version. I have no idea what they were thinking. Seems like a stupid idea... | |
| MM cart recommendations for VPI Scout TT Could you do a high output MC? If so, the Dynavector 10x5 is very hard to beat. I use one with the internal MM stage in my Bryston B60. I have to turn the volume know up just a touch more, but not too much.JR | |
| BAT Thoughts..... If the BAT tube amps and preamp are producing too much heat but you still like the sound, have you considered their integrated?I have no idea what the heat factor is with it, nor how it compares to what you currently have. I've heard the integrate... | |
| Best way to test your system? My way of evaluating a system is listening to a sampling of my favorite music. I've never heard a system that truly made me believe the musicians are in the room. Living 30 mnutes from Manhattan, I've heard some systems that cost more than the ave... | |
| Record Cleaning I completely agree with Photon. I'm a huge Rega fan, but completely disagree with Roy Gandy.I waited a while before I bought a record cleaning machine. Had I known then what I know now, I'd have bought it a long tome ago. I bought a KAB USA EV-1. ... | |
| Has anyone heard or tried the new Naim Dac? I just read a review of the Simaudio 300D online. UHF Magazine loved it. If interested, Google search "Simaudio 300d UHF review." Its the PDF article, which is currently the second link.JR | |
| Why aren't ALL remotes like Playstation PS3 ? I'd imagine that blue tooth is far more expensive to implement than IR or whatever else the hifi companies are using. And a lot of hifi guys aren't using their remotes. I've gotten far better results with universal remotes like Harmony remotes tha... | |
| NAD C565bee/Rega Apollo vs. DAC MHDT Paradisea 3 The Apollo is far better than the NAD to my ears. I've owned NAD CDPs in the past, and currently own an Apollo. The Apollo beats it in it's PRaT and just overall musicallity. I'm a big analog fan, so take that as you will. Haven't heard the DACs y... | |
| Comparing two integrated's... I haven't heard the MF integrated. I really want to like Primare, but I just can't get into it. It does everything very well, but it just sounds way too cool and distant to my ears. Not cold and harsh. Creek sounds more forward, up front, and warm... | |
| Bryston B-60R SST vs. Arcam A38 integrated amps The B60 is a good bit better to my ears than the i1. It's frequency extremes are better controlled, and is a bit more neutral IMO. The most obvious thing to my ears is the i1 sounds more polite than the B60. The i1 is a great amp, but the B60 does... | |
| Has anyone heard or tried the new Naim Dac? I'd love some hi-rez music. Unfortunately, hardly anything I like is available. | |
| Has anyone heard or tried the new Naim Dac? Sandra,Don't doubt your ears. Everyone listens for different things. Naim may very well be the most polarizing gear there is. People either love it or hate it. There's very little in between. Most everyone respects it though.I really like Naim's p... | |
| Why don't any good CD players resume play? CD players and portables do this because other reasons - you shut your ca off to run into the store or get gas. People want to pick up where they left off. People have to take their headphones off to talk to other people and so on. | |
| Has anyone heard or tried the new Naim Dac? Sandra - That's the first I've heard about the Simaudio DAC, apart from press releases. I'm glad you found one you like. Simaudio is a great company that makes bullet proof gear that sounds fantastic. Its too bad they don't get more mention.Have y... | |
| Project Acryl-it Platter I owned the Debut 3 before the 1Xpression. I've heard the OM criticism from several people on different forums. The OM sounds respectable on the Debut. The new 2M series sounds a good bit better than the OM series. The Debut is definitely capable ... |
