| upgrade needed Another vote here for scott-nixon.com where the cheap, but wonderful DAC's are made. Bemopti123 made great recommendations, however he is not a perfect touch typist, yet. | |
| Spk cable with deep,lush,spacious sound.... I agree with Jkaway(John) that if you try the Alpha Core Goertz MI-2 copper ribbon there is excellent chance you will get exactly what you are looking for. I formerly used MI-3 which is same sound as MI-2, for its power amp rating, according to th... | |
| Review: Argent Audio Pursang Interconnect No one mentioned prices.For all you "starving artists" out there, there is another home shootout candidate. For $180 per eight foot pair of speaker cables, and $120 per interconnect pair, greggstraley@yahoo.com won my heart and soul.With the new e... | |
| Tube Intergrated,Which One?Must be very Liquid My Aronov LS960i is very natural, musical, and agile, with never a trace of listener fatigue. Even in the company of the wonderful recommendations above, the bass control, dynamics, and transient speed will impress. It does not overlay a warmth th... | |
| Did I damage my cartridge? Zaikesman, Philjolet is correct. There is a tiny "instruction sheet" which tells a recommended way to clean the Zerodust, so it is usable indefinitely. I still use Stylast, and have been lucky it has not created a problem for me. Maybe, the Zerodu... | |
| Did I damage my cartridge? I have used the Zerodust stylus cleaner for some months, and recently purchased another for convenient use with another turntable setup. The stylus is merely let to vertically sink into the clear gel disc, by itself, with only the same pre-set dow... | |
| used DAC for under $350 Channel Isalnd.... Correction: the assembled TubeDac from Scott Nixon is shipped to a buyer for $400, slightly above your requested limit of $350. And the assembled DacKit is shipped to the buyer for $250, leaving you with some extra cash to buy more CD's.Here on Au... | |
| preamp or no? if so, which one? For a single source system, such as CD only, one very cost effective solution is to mount a pair of tweakaudio.com "EVS Ultimate Attenuators." One attenuator is physically inserted into the left RCA input jack of your amplifier, the other attenuat... | |
| tube or tube-like amp recommendations? Mhyde2, Do you have a price estimate or guarantee that a certain price will not be exceeded when you restore your amp at Vintage Amplifier Restoration?I found that when I stumbled onto a pair of Dynaco A-25 speakers, for only $5, the vintage sound... | |
| used DAC for under $350 Channel Isalnd.... For the newest ideas in minimalist, over-achieving DAC's in your price range, take a look at scott-nixon.com where the assembled and shipped package price is $250 for the basic DacKit. If your budget is a little higher, then there are a few compan... | |
| Bi Wire Tweak One more time for those of us in the slow group. This tweak leaves the negative posts still connected, in addition to both upper and lower sets of posts each receiving their own set of speaker wires, as in traditional bi-wiring? | |
| tube or tube-like amp recommendations? Aronov LS960 tube amp. Natural, musical, and extended range, with unexpectedly superior bass. You will be surprised how a well designed 60 watts per channel of big iron tube power will improve upon your 200 watts per channel of transistor power. T... | |
| Zaolla Silverline cables, compairsons, choices? One way to decide is by buying with money back trial. If you like what you hear in your own system then there is no buyer's remorse, by definition.Because there is always a different sound with every change in even one pair of interconnects, or sp... | |
| XM, Serius -- Quality Sound? I have listened to XM in my son's Mazda Protege "listening room" and when simply listening casually, and with routine car background noise, better than AM by a mile, and as enjoyable as any FM in the car that I have heard. The immense variety of m... | |
| Experience with Caig's ProGold G5? I had the same positive experience with ProGold. During the process of spraying so many metal connectors, I accidentally sprayed some on my hand; now even my own singing in the shower sounds better :>) I have seen the ad for SilClear by Maplesh... |
