| DIY Anti-IC project Sounds like the CAT5 speaker cables by Chris Venhaus of VH Audio, doesn't it? http://www.venhaus1.com/diycatfivecables.html | |
| McIntosh MA2275 int tube Amp...OPINIONS PLEASE MA2275 compared to what? I have a MC275 which is essentially the amp section of the 2275 and love it. It is my first tube amp and a keeper for a good while as far as I'm concerned. However there are always better sounding options at different pric... | |
| DAC/PRE Some more options:- PS Audio PWD- Esoteric D70 (older, but among the very best you could buy at any price around 2004)- Wadia 27 or 27ix (same as with the D70)- Audio Aero Prima- Weiss Minerva and DAC2- Berkeley Alpha- Tact 2.2XP (and you get room... | |
| Cost to treat a room? One way could be to buy and read a couple of books (ej, Everest's and Floyd's books) to understand what's going on, get an SPL meter from Radio Shack ($60?) and a CD with test tones and start experimenting with home furnishings, comforters, etc to... | |
| Preamp suggestions Rowland Capri? | |
| Herron VTSP-3A Mitch,If and when you get the Herron, please post your impressions. I'm especially interested in how it compares with your Lamm, as these two are in my short list and I have no way to audition both in my system.Thank you and have fun!Horacio | |
| Upgrading from my Rotel RCD-1072 Miner,I have not heard the two players you are contemplating, but I guess it would be hard for anyone to provide any feedback without knowing what it is you are trying to improve and what the rest of your system is.FWIW, I own an RCD-1072, and whi... | |
| Herron VTSP-3A Kclone: no, not a deal killer at all. BTW, you didn't mean dealer killer did you?? you don't like your dealer too much, ah? :-)Just wanted to know to understand what one gets for the price. The LL2 and the First Sound don't have a phono either, an... | |
| Is McIntosh 6900 enough for B&W 802D? Enough to make them work? Certainly.Enough to get the best out of the 802D? I don't think so.To sound decent? Well, that means different things to different people. Some here "can't stand" some VERY expensive CD players...I tend to think any of th... | |
| What pre amp to use in my system? FWIW, I meant RC1070 + RB1080 + 804S sounded harsh. With the CM4 the 1070+1080 sounded good to me. | |
| Primare I30 and B&W 803D, enough power?? Demianm,In light of what is being said here, including your preference for integrateds, may I suggest you wait until you save more and get a large McIntosh or Classe integrated? these two brands are generally considered good matches with B&W (... | |
| Herron VTSP-3A Thanks guys for the very good feedback!It's really too bad I cannot listen to any of these components.It's not the first time I read something about the First Sound leaning to the lean side in some systems. I'm thinking it might be too risky with ... | |
| What pre amp to use in my system? Gte,I can't answer how the RC1070 sounds as it's the first pre I've had and don't recall very well how others sounded back 5 years ago when I was hunting. I guess the RC1070 + RB1080 + B&W CM4 combo sounded better than other options back then.... | |
| What pre amp to use in my system? OK, fair enough.Have you tried Rotel RC1070? It was $400 new back 5-6 years ago, and I still have it. It's a good match with the RB1080.If it were me I would probably try and save more and buy a used unit from A'gon. Maybe a Rowland Capri? Sorry c... | |
| What pre amp to use in my system? Why are you targeting the pre as a means of solving fatigue? Maybe is the speaker/amp combo...FWIW I had a 1080 with the older B&W CM4 and they worked fine. Upgraded to the 804S and got fatigue. Replaced the 1080 with McIntosh MC275 (tubes) an... |
