Good Horn Speakers Of Moderate Size
Klipsch Forte or Forte II. If you have a large space, these are wonderful speakers. 
iMac audio issues
4est Thanks for the reply. I tried your suggestion. Under the "Audio Output" section, there is a channel master and CH 1 and CH 2. The master volume is not highlighted, and I can't adjust it from the zero output setting. I think this may be the pr... 
Favorite ProAc Tablette and speaker stand?
Hi Jrink,Have you had a chance to hear other small Proacs in relation to the 1SC, and if so, what differences did you hear? Thanks,Michael 
Favorite ProAc Tablette and speaker stand?
Thanks for the feedback Roxy. I was hoping I could get a "newer" model of Tablette that would match the greatness of the 2 - may not be possible... Trying to find nice condition R2 sets is getting harder. They either need a refoam or probably will... 
Low Volumes
Hi,I've had quite a bit of kit through the years, and I'm currently in disbelief of my current system: Cardersound Tybone Vs. 1 (Saburo cabinet with Planet10 EnAbled Fostex FE126E drivers), Cardersound Morgan, and the latest Miniwatt amp (N3). Due... 
Good compatible carts for RS Labs A-1 tonearm?
Thank you for your responses. I really wanted to try a Grado, but that won't work. I'm going to use some of your suggestions and try a Clearaudio Aurum and a Denon 160 and see what happens.Regards,Michael 
Requesting input from iMac users
Hi,I use Firewire out to an M-Audio Audiophile Firewire DAC. It sounds fantastic, and I have no issue giving up any of the traditional CD players I have used. I haven't tried the headphone jack, but there is no doubt that it will be inferior to th... 
Acoustat 2+2 : CJ 2500A or Simaudio W 5 ?
Hi Andr,I have been considering a 2500A for my 1+1. What are you looking for with a change? So far, the best amp I have used is a Cairn Audio 4810 integrated. I've had large tube amps, H2O, Wyred, Class A - all much more powerful, but just not as ... 
Best speaker under $1K...... used market
Triangle Zerius. Best sound I get with these is using - Kimber 8tc. Your forte amp would sound great with these too. I have paid as little as $350 a pair. I have had a lot of speakers (Acoustat, Linn, ProAc, Audiostatic, Altec a7, Ambience, Cain, ... 
Connect Macs to analog amplifier?
I have an iMac connected to an M-Audio Audiophile Firewire, Redwine Audio upgraded ClariT and some Triangle Zerius. This combination is the most enjoyable I have had regardless of price - I have a small room. I enjoy it as much as I do my vinyl - ... 
help what is the current bestbang in PC audio ?
iMac via Firewire to an M-audio Audiophile DAC. It's the most enjoyable listening I have ever done with digital. I use iTunes in lossless, and my collection is currently at 600Gigabytes on an iOmega 750G hard drive. Sounds better than any CD playe... 
Recommend a method of getting analog into my PC
I use an M-Audio Audiophile Firewire with my MAC for two way data stream. The USB model can be found used on Ebay for around $100. I just compared the Monarchy NM24 DAC to the M-Audio, and while the Monarchy had more hyper-detail, I enjoyed music ... 
Mac Mini & Outboard DAC
I use an iMac to an Maudio Audiophile Firewire. That connects to my latest purchase, a Monarchy 24 DAC. Almarro A205A MK2 to Cain Abby/Baileys. I store my CD collection on an iomgea 750G hard drive.I have never equaled this sound via any standard ... 
What CD Player can top this
Try one of the original Sony Playstations with RCA audio outputs. It puts to shame most stand-alone CD players. Ebay price: $15 + shipping. It sounds silly, but I have compared the sound of this with some nice Wadia, Naim, and SACD players, and it... 
Materialism or Idealism is hope alive? And Request
Cain & Almarro have been my salvation...everything else is going...money to pay for real-world things like house projects, kids dental projects etc. By the way, SOME vinyl sounds better depending on the pressing, VTA adjustment, etc., but havi...
