| How do you "downgrade"? That was well put. I also believe that we get caught up in the stuff and lose sight of the music. | |
| How good are VMPS RM-40? I own a pair - in short a great speaker and believe me I have owned many. Quad 989, Martin Logan, Legacy Whispers, Eggleston Andras, Wilson Watt/Puppy and Witts. Go to Harmonicdiscord.com and find the VMPS site - it will give you many more testimo... | |
| Decent CD Players In this price range you have seen that it is hard to find a great player without mods. Believe it or not a friend has the Adcom single disc player that I find to be extremely fast and natural sounding - it is solidly built and gives my Electrocomp... | |
| In the last 20-30 years, what has changed most... Preamps have more moving parts so they tend to get more wear and tear . Designs for the most part are probably of a more simple and straightforward basis in preamps. Less is more kind of thinking. Gone are tone controls , phono options, contour bu... | |
| Capability to Search for Local Used Equipment Check with the autotrader.com people - they seem to have a database that does this. | |
| Buying Dealer Demos It really depends on how old they are when you buy them and if as above was stated the abuse it received from someone playing around with it other than perhaps the dealer. Time not usage is what deters a speakers performance in the way of foam rot... | |
| McIntosh C2200 Tube Preamp with Krell? First of all the Mac 6200 is an integrated amp so why would a 2200 be hooked to it unless only the amp part was used? Maybe you are thinking of the 602 amp. The 2200 is the new version tube preamp and not to be mistaken with the original 22 or the... | |
| Best high end multi-disc player as transport? Check the sight greatnorthernsound.com for mods. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? 1. a. Cadillac Seville SLS (2000) b. Cadillac Allante Convertible (1993)2. ?3. Acura NSX | |
| Good phono amp, low noise, not too expencive? I have a Musical Fidelity mono block setup for sale with a separate power supply unit to lower the noise floor. It can handle mm or mc cartridges. I am selling the entire setup for 500 including shipping. Excellent to like new condition. I have it... | |
| Suggestions For Phono Preamp.... The EAR 834P - most have a volume control so no preamp needed - sells used for 650-850 - new for 1000 - 1200. | |
| Best high end multi-disc player as transport? I use a Sony 5 disc DVD changer as one of my transports to a Kora Hermes tube DAC with 24/192 upsampling - I also have an Electrocompaniet ECM player as a transport hooked to the Kora . It sounds really great and is really hard to distinguish from... | |
| The Soundlabs must go-any thoughts on substitutes? The VMPS RM 40's ( still tall but not wide) or the Eggleston Andras beautiful but heavy design. I own both. | |
| Best USED Transport for under 2,000 I agree with the two above in your range - the Pioneer S95 is also a great transport which can be gotten on this site for 995(new) even though discontinued. I owned a 777ES - didn't like anything about it. | |
| Which Martin Logan Speakers should I buy? In that size room the Ascents would probably be plenty - I own the Odysseys and my room is 20x18x12 foot ceilings - the Odyssey is a better sounding speaker in the bottom end though if you want to spend the extra money - be careful if someone is s... |
