| Which Dynaudio to buy under 2k used My recommendation would be partially based on how far away you'd be sitting, and whether your budget is the maximum you want to spend and the lower the better, or you're fine with $2K and would go another couple hundred if that's what it took.If y... | |
| Redefining "Universal Player" C'mon Kal - I'd have plenty of shelf space if I didn't already have a TT :-)Part of my point is the functionality it offers, but the other part of my point is that a digital input should be a very simple, very inexpensive thing to include, and it ... | |
| Redefining "Universal Player" I am looking for high-quality conversion for a music server, with the ability to play the occassional SACD, DVD or Blu-Ray, and newly purchased CD without ripping it to my music server. I agree, Kr4, that if there is a pre/pro in the system, you c... | |
| The reviewer's role--comparative reviews? I agree that reviews are mainly for entertainment, but I certainly like them when I learn something. One of the things I like best is when reviewers do comparisons - it doesn't have to be in-depth, but the comparisons often shed the most light. An... | |
| The best "imaging" speakers? I'm not sure "best imaging" equals "the most you are there experience", but the best imaging speakers I've ever heard were the Dynaudio Special 25's. | |
| Are Dynaudio Contour 2 any good? Do you really mean Contour 2, or do you mean Confidence 2? I have never heard of the Contour 2. | |
| Bruce at The Super Bowl.... Let's face it - regardless of who is a still relevant and who is not, playing at the SB halftime show isn't a format that will allow anybody to show their relevance. I thought the performance came off alright - it looked like everybody was having ... | |
| VPI Speed Problem Problem solved - I got the white lithium grease and applied it to both the flywheel ball-bearing as well as the platter ball-bearing. The TT measures perfect 33 1/3 and 45rpm speeds.Thanks to all for your help - a pretty basic problem, I suppose, ... | |
| VPI Speed Problem Okay, I took all the belts off, and took the spindle off of the motor and the platter off the TT base. Everything appeared in good working order, so I put it all back together. I tried another album and it sounded much closer to right, though stil... | |
| VPI Speed Problem Thanks very much for all the helpful responses. I'll have to get it working perfectly again before I could sell it to get a Lenco in any case, so thanks especially for the troubleshooting tips :-)New belt didn't change anything. I'll have to get a... | |
| Warner Bros New Van Morrison Vinyl Reissues The new vinyl releases are superb - I wouldn't want to have to pick only one :-) | |
| Dynaudio contour 2.8, 3.0, 3.3 I've had many models of Dynaudio speakers, though I have knowledge of your amp so I can't comment on how well they'd work together. Dynaudio speakers, especially the older models you refer to, want an amp with a lot of power and current.I owned th... | |
| Mounting Dynaudio Monitors on a Wall? Dynaudio makes versions of their monitors that are designed to be mounted on the wall. I'm assuming you've already got a pair of standard monitors, but if you don't, they make a product to do just what you're looking for.I think you'd be fine with... | |
| Collecting Blue Note Jazz I've subscribed to both the Analogue Productions and Music Matters BN reissues series and I have loved every one them. They're pricey, but they're classics and they're a super high quality product. I don't know how many I'll ultimately buy, and I'... | |
| How do YOU organize your iTunes library? Onhwy61 - the desire for more dedicated fields for organizing is the #1 reason I use J River. You can add as many fields as you like to their already large standard offering, and the fields can be complex (calculated, for example). All fields, sta... |
