| Question about high current amps versus "not high current amps" Given the same 100 RMS 8 Ohm amp/circuitry, but one power supply with 1000 micro F and the other with 100,000 micro F. Speaker has an impedance dip to 2 ohm at 100 Hz. Can the 100k cap amp not provide a LOT more amps (for 1 millisecond) than the 1... | |
| Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable? Somewhere the term 'emotional' was used ("friends are emotional about their vinyl). That pretty much says it all.

| How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC jl35 no so much 'older' or 'personal preference' but rather non audiophile cost constraint (I just don't want to spend crazy, ehem I mean 'auidophile' money). Judging the Oppo 103 as transport, SACD and DAC: name alternatives in the below $400... | |
| How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC simao I have the Oppo 103 player. Wondering how the built in DAC compares to say a Modi 3+ (or the M1). I.e. use the Oppo as transport with one of those external DAC, or use the DAC in the Oppo. | |
| How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC Happy to bring the 2 DAC I mentioned for a comparison with 'audiophile' price level (say 10-30 times the cost of mine) DAC on a qualified system (mine likely is not). Driving distance from 48116 MI | |
| How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC Now I need to find a cheap yet MASSIVE vintage transport. Wish I had kept the 80 lb monster MSB Technology Laser Disc Transport LS1 Gold. That would have gone well with the M1. | |
| How does 10+ year old technology compare to modern: Musical Fidelity M1 DAC mapman that is GREAT information. Thank you VERY much.

| Identify, repair or replace mid range speaker in B139 based setup My recone/refoam friend is attempting rebuild. Will likely end up with foam reversed (sticking out like most drivers, nut inverse like original), but try original orientation first. Supplier of the foam indicates in description what it can be done... | |

| Infinity RS 1B - How does the 'old dream speaker' compare to today's speakers? Sounds like the IRS are still competing well with modern speakers. I would have guessed that they had fallen behind due to decades in material (and electronics) development). |
