| Dish satelite vs Cable quality? If you want great picture quality, there is really just one way to go. BIG DISH!Seriously, the 10 foot diameter, "C" band has the best picture I have seen, and I have had, both cable and Dish Network to compare it against. (To be honest, I have no... | |
| Rosewood Signature or Sig/Platinum? Here is a review site that clearly indicates that the Rosewood Signiture Platinum is the way to go.http://www.21stcenturyservices.com/audio/reviews.htmLucky dog, having to pick between the two.BTW, I think you should have listed the thread as"Urus... | |
| Do you have a dedicated listening room? I wish!Still having to share it with the Living Room. My equipment, both stereo and HT, dominate it, but still, it is the main entertainment room in the house, as it has the nice leather furniture, bookcases, and media storage. However, ever thing... | |
| Which Amp. Well, since you want to get rid of your Levinson No. 23.5, I will gladly take it off your hands.Seriously, if you want to stick to solid state, and if you like the Levinson sound, I really doubt you need to upgrade, unless you need the additional ... | |
| Revel Studios for half price? I agree, just save up for the Studios. (And yes, I own them too!) They are a great speaker. You can probably find them used for around $7K, and even cheaper if you can be patient and wait for the right deal. If you can live with the flat black bod... | |
| Revel Studios and Tube Amps I use mine with a 200W Levinson amp. (I used to use a 100W Levinson amp, and while it worked acceptably, it sounds much better with more power.)I really think that 100W is about the minimum, but to be honest, I have not tried it with less.Good Luc... | |
| Audio Research pre amp question Jafox,Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the LS-5 the preamp that only had balanced inputs and outputs? Therefore, if you are not running balanced cables, you will need to buy them, and if your equipment is not setup to run balanced, you will hav... | |
| Rolling Stones to release ten albums on vinyl. Yes, I heard the exact same thing on the radio last night too.However, I have heard though that these albums have been digitally remastered. Is that correct? If so, doesn't that defeat the purpose of listening to analog in the first place?I think ... | |
| Speakers for low level listening I believe somebody else started this exact same thread just a month or two ago. You should do a search. That being said, as I recall, the concensus was that planer type speakers (i.e. Martin Logan, Quad, Sound Lab, etc..) were the best way to go. ... | |
| Sub or Subs to mate with Sonus Faber Amati Homage Well, while they are not Levinson or Krell, I think that the Classe amp you tried, should have provided decent enough bass.Perhaps changing cables would help.I changed from Tara Labs Space and Time cables to a MIT 770 CVT, (bi-wired) and I noticed... | |
| Sub or Subs to mate with Sonus Faber Amati Homage What amps are you using? (or have used, since you said your have tried several)I really think that might be the problem. Are you using tube amps? (Sometimes tube amps are a little weak on low frequency response.)I would use either Krell or Levinso... | |
| Audible Illusions vs. Audio Research? You need to tell us your budget and whether you are willing to buy used.Either that, or tell us which models you are looking at, so that those audiogoners (I love that word), can give you their impressions of the units they have used.I have had th... | |
| mark levinson service This is second hand information, as I have not sent anything in. However, yours is not the first posting that I have seen on this site (or Audio Asylum) that has complained about the poor service (and lack of forthcoming information) from Levinson... | |
| Calling all analog experts J.,We have similar systems. I use the ARC LS-2 preamp, with an ARC PH-3 phono preamp, Mark Levinson No. 23 amp, and Revel Studios speakers as well.I initially bought the Basis 1400 TT, with RB300 arm. I bought them used. I originally put a Benz Mi... | |
| Newb - damaged cartridge? Yes, it is gone. Talk to the dealer who sold you the cartridge, as they might be able to either retip the cartridge or even offer you a trade-in on a different cartridge. (This happened to my Benz Micro Glider II, due to its exposed cantilever.)Lo... |
