| Which TT Music Hall 5.1 or Rega P1 or P2 Have to agree with Piedpiper. A used P3 would better match the quality of the rest of your system. If you are lucky, you could pick a P3 with cartridge and upgrades for the same price as a new P2. | |
| Cambridge 740c or Rega Apollo with Linn and Sonus I haven't heard that particular Creek. You should listen to the Naim 5i since their players have a unique presentation that I find quite infectious. On the other hand the Cambridge 840 certainly will provide more detail and may sound more "natural... | |
| Cambridge 740c or Rega Apollo with Linn and Sonus I don't know if this is instructive because there are probably few parts in common, but my Cambridge Azur 640C v2 was still presenting new musical perspectives after many months of playing. Sometimes I would put in a disk and go "Wow! It didn't so... | |
| Anbody fool around with different pre/amp jumpers? Yeah, I think I can see the stock bars (probably plated brass) being a inferior design to the wire jumpers. But it is interesting to me that the Audioquest jumpers, which also have heavy duty gold plated connectors, wire running in PE air tubes an... | |
| Bi-amping question Question: How critical is the crossover in the loop between the amp and the Staffs versus just running separate lines directly to the sub and the speakers? My experience without one has been that a smaller amp will start to clip and the mid bass d... | |
| Recommendation Weight on Top of Speaker Whatever you do, don't let your signif other put a plant on top, no matter how "good" it looks or sounds!!! | |
| Opinions: PC's with strong lows roll off the highs Foster_9,Curious, do the Flavor cords roll off the highs or the bass? What I hear you saying is that its an either or proposition with your current stable of cables. I am thinking of going this route and would like to hear your experience with the... | |
| WBT Power Bridges or Dayton Jumpers? If your cables are "finished" products, i.e. you can't really chop off the end and fashion it into a jumper cable - go to a retailer that sells Kimber or Audioquest cable in bulk spools and get some nice solid copper wire, 1 ft. or less should do,... | |
| Dynaudio Focus 140 vs Totem Model 1 Signature Have to agree with rumadian and Jaybo.On the Naim Front - I have never yet heard a pair of speakers that the Nait 5i integrated could not drive to comfortably loud listening levels and still make it sound like (real) music, including: Quad 21L, De... | |
| Dynaudio Focus 140 vs Totem Model 1 Signature I second Ttowntony. Both of these speakers are a bit much for the 325bee. They will make noise, and it may not be a bad noise. But they will start to sound like real music when used with a high current amp with 100 watts or more per channel.I list... | |
| Rotel 1072 vs. Arcam CD73 Fjd523,Interesting review of these players. I had a similar experience with these three players and selected the Cambridge 640C because of a personal preference for detailed presentation. Have since traded in the 640C v1 for the version 2. My reta... | |
| Need advice choosing a complimentary CD Player MF player is a great choice. Didn't think you could find one within your budget or would have recommended for sure. Enjoy. | |
| How to evaluate amps that are not broken in? PS - I bought a late model amp used from a broker recently and I am not sure it was completely broken in... cause the sound changed over time. Or was just me? HA! | |
| How to evaluate amps that are not broken in? Stuartk,A thought.Given that there is general but not unanimous consensus among: A) manufacturers, B) retailers, and C) reviewers (who are professional and critical listeners of hi fi gear for many hours a week, week in and week out) that "break i... | |
| My first REAL system...need some advice Voodoochild,Glad you might find this information helpful.One correction, the price quoted above is for a new PrimaLuna ProLogue model one integrated with phono stage, not the model two as stated above. The model two has a little more power and the... |
