| best used transport 400-700 Theta Basic II. There was one on Audigon for $495 -- a steal, and much better built. | |
| Which DAC? Levinson, Theta, Sonic Frontiers Can this EVS Millenium be better than everything? It seems there are so many raves about it. Anyone compared it to the Levinson, Theta, Sonic Frontiers? | |
| Why a transport over a CD player? You already have a good DAC. I would get a transport, but only a good one. All in one players generally do not have jitter reduction, since they don't need it. However, when you separate transport & DAC, jitter becomes a problem. That is why t... | |
| MSB price increase The fact that MSB was selling it for $1295, and making the normal profit on it, indicates to me that they simply want to make more money. Once again, greed leads. It is certainly not an inspiring statement for the company. Furthermore, I have read... | |
| Where to get headshell for Sumiko Lustre tonearm? I have a Lustre headshell, I assume it fits on that tonearm. It's made out of a magnesium alloy. I might be persuaded to part with it. | |
| Sellers that don't respond I have found that most people are courteous enough to email me a "Sorry, sold", but there are a number who don't reply at all. I agree with ''Asa" whose comments about table manners and culture are right on the money. Unfortunately, not everyone o... | |
| When buying thru audiogon how do you protect yourself ? I will not buy by prepaying with money order, unless the buyer has a lot of positive feedback. If the seller has one feedback or none, don't take the chance.Personally, I have sold items asking for prepayment, and have been lucky enough to get buy... | |
| Which Transport? Theta Jade, Proceed CDD, Sonic F. SFT-1 Who has knowledge of the Proceed CDD? Where are all the transport gurus? | |
| Which McCormack Hey, guys, have you actually COMPARED the Rev. A to the new amps? Obviously, Steve McCormack is going to say they sound better, or he would be shooting himself in the foot, & wouldn't be a good salesman for his upgrades. I'm not saying his upg... | |
| Sonic Frontiers Service Nick has answered my emails in the past two weeks with prompt responses. I would email him again. | |
| How Do You Clean Your CD's? I would never recommend using any "windex" type products. These contain various chemicals & additives that could damage the surface, or, at the least, leave a film of some kind. I use the smallest pin drop of dishwashing liquid (only clear kin... | |
| Harvey Rosenberg R.I.P. I am so sorry to hear Harvey is gone. Although I was less familiar with him than many die-hard, do-it-yourself tubeophiles were, I know what a great influence he has been, and how much he discovered and taught us about tube sound. ........ A since... | |
| New Audioquest cables vs. Old? I thought this thread would elicit more response. C'mon Audioquest owners, where are you? I'd like to hear from those who don't like Audioquest as well. | |
| To Preamp or not to Preamp, that is my q In all instances where I have run a CD player directly into the power amp, the sound is NOT RIGHT. Imaging is screwed up, i.e., voice images were tall & unfocused, spread out over a diffuse area. Balance of instruments wrong--some instruments ... | |
| Party At Albertporter s I just had a nightmare that as Carl & David99 are hog-tied, Cornfedboy had Klipsch horn tweeters placed next to Carl's ears, blasting a prose reading of "Diamond x3" thread into Carl's ears! Thank goodness I woke up before anything more banal ... |
