| Burlington, VT - Any interest in starting a club? I think that's a great idea, but this thread seems to have fizzled out. What if I were to start a yahoo group? Would there be some interest? | |
| which amp should i get another marsh, aragon, eAR Try 2 A200s. They actually sound a bit better than the 400. | |
| Marsh P2000T or C-J PV14L2 Pre? Get the Marsh P2000T, or even (gasp!) the SS model, either the P2000 or P2000B. The SS versions are as good as or better than any tube preamp I've heard. Yes, they are very very good.If you get the P2000T, it will require some modification in orde... | |
| Orientation of tweeter/mid felt on Snell C/V? Steven,The felt should be oriented so that the more open portion of the tweeter faces inward. Snell applied the felt the opposite way on early production models, then switched to the orientation I described. This helps to prevent early reflections... | |
| Are Rotel amps and preamps any good? I don't think they can be beaten unless you spend a bit more. I prefer Rotal to Adcom and Anthem for many pieces. Not the most transparent, but solid performers. | |
| Audiogon "SACD's TO DIE FOR" list Alison Krauss - Foget About It. Stunning! | |
| High energy dance music recommendations? Jamiroquai, Everything But The Girl, and MANY dance compilations.... | |
| Is 24/192 all hype? "On top of that, you now have to worry about impedance matching between the transport and the DAC. "Sean, what is the rule of thumb for impedance matching between transport and DAC?I've never considered this. Only thought it was an issua with anal... | |
| 5/6 channel amp with laidback,soft, smooth trebble Myryad MA500. I believe there might still be one on ebay. Very nice amp. And no, it's not my auction! :) | |
| Biggest "Bang for the Buck" in an AES/EBU cable I no longer use a DAC, but I have a Cardas AES/EBU cable that is about as good as it gets. | |
| Used preamps under $500 better than Audiolab 8000C The RC-1090 sounded identical in my system to the RC-1070. I don't use balanced connections. But the 1070 seemed like a better choice to me - it has no digital display circuitry to add noise to the signal. And the circuitry is more simple. The 107... | |
| Used preamps under $500 better than Audiolab 8000C Yes indeed. The Rotel RC-1070 is a superb choice. It meets all of your criteria (including remote) and is 450-500 new. It is an amazing overachiever. I'd buy new for the 3 yr warranty. I'm using this after having owned an SF Line 1 SE, and a Rowla... | |
| Someone please explain the logic of upgrades It's a matter of striking a price/performance ratio that makes sense. If your preamp cost twice what it did, you might not have bought it. Volume of sales is very important. And these changes might improve the sound a bit. But I doubt they'll take... | |
| taming studio 100's Ray,I've modded crossovers in 2 pairs of Studio 100s, and a pair of Studio 40v2s. I've done this with about 50 pairs of speakers, so I don't remember the actual component values. But it's not too tough if you're comfortable with soldering. | |
| What multi disc CD ?? The Sony 2000 and 555 (both new models) are nice. The 555 does DVD, the 2000 is CD only. |
