| Best Online Music Retailers Tpreaves,I goggled "Tpreaves opinion" and got ten threads by you, none regarding online music sources. I goggled "Tpreaves favorite" and I also got ten threads, none regarding online music retailers. I asked the question on here and I received bot... | |
| Best Online Music Retailers Thanks folks - I was requesting your favorites, not necessarily an exhaustive list. | |
| PSB Synch Ones vs Sonus Liuto I prefer the PSB's. I listened to the Liuto's powered by some Macintosh electronics and was not overly impressed - they sounded dark and laid back to me. For your reference, the SF Cremona M's with the same electronics sounded lovely to me. I thin... | |
| Best Bass amp I would look at a classe D amp. Something like Bel Canto REF500S Dual Mono Amplifier. Some people complain that Class D ICE chips provide "funny" sounding bass, but Bel Canto has solved this riddle with the reference series. You can get a REF500s ... | |
| Sterophile's not so nice review of Bryston OK, so perhaps reviewers don't exactly "buy" the gear they keep around for reference. But they do keep certain pieces around to compare with review equipment, and it appears to me that they try to keep gear that is particualrly good at one or two ... | |
| Have you heard Crystal Bowersox? I predict Bowersox has already won, a big recording contract at least. She really appeals to my college age kids and their friends, and I have to say I think her arrangements of old pop, r&b and rock classics sound really fresh, not dated at a... | |
| Have you heard Crystal Bowersox? Raks, No. Half the bar bands in America want to contact Lee DeWyze.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPtF0mp7LdsRichard,Yes Siobhan Magnus is something elsehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXOXEYk7nxo&feature=relatedAnd Andrew Garcia has some uniqu... | |
| Integrated to Separates Advice One other important consideration. The preamp section will be as important as the amplifier section of your receiver. One of the reasons the KW500 sounds so good, even at low volume is the solid preamp section. The other is the capcity of your lar... | |
| Power cord..CDP or AMPLIFIER? Two of the links I provided don't work, at least didn't work for me. My bad. Here is another try:http://signalcable.com/http://zebracables.com/ | |
| Anyone successful in dealing with Tinnitus? I didn't notice my ears were ringing until I read this thread. No, actually, I notice my problem is directly related to exposure to loud noises: city sounds, loud music, other things. If I try to avoid these for a few days, I notice the ringing su... | |
| Integrated to Separates Advice You are going to take a hit - how big a one and how much you notice depends on how loud you typically listen to the front channels and the size of your room. There is no way the Marantz is going to match the KW500 for lack of compression at volume... | |
| Primare I30 and B&W 803D, enough power?? Hmmmm... Primare I30 will be very nice with the 803D at moderate to low listening levels for Jazz, chamber music and vocals, and will suffice for louder listening if not completely capable of convincing recreation of a full orchestra or the Who li... | |
| What pre amp to use in my system? So maybe try an NAD preamp. C-16"X" series from the last 10 years or older. $400 budget is fairly limiting. Or perhaps an old Carver, Hafler or Phaselinear preamp - but not really sure any of these are a step up from the Adcom or Rotel, just diffe... | |
| Power cord..CDP or AMPLIFIER? Tpreaves, Elizabeth and Lostbears all have good advice. As to whether you replace the CD cable or the amp cable first, I would think the amp cable, but the suggestion to try both is important because the outcome is going to depend on both your gea... | |
| Sterophile's not so nice review of Bryston Mitch2 hit it on the head. Want a bad reveiw? Just look at what pieces of gear from well-known manufacturer's don't ever get reveiwed by any of the big magazines. Probably a reason that they don't, since most reviewers attend the big electronics s... |
