| How to connect my Cell Phone to my DAC?!?! try playing youtube or pandora on your phone thru the smsl and see if it works. if so, try uninstalling and reinstalling spotify. | |
| What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased? Rega RS6 Von Schweikert VR1 | |
| Ali Baba i'd surmise that almost all of the deeply-discounted western-branded gear on ali is counterfeit, in the sense of not being authorized by or sold for the account of the brand. however, broadly speaking you find three types of counterfeit products-... | |
| Midfi Integrated amp w/ phone stage recommendation of all the ones mentioned, for a vinyl-oriented system i would second the buy-british recs--rega brio, music hall, creek--they're optimized for small apartment systems. lotsa deals on used. | |
| Recommendation for Headphones under $250 the Philips SHP9500 cost around $75, sound very true-to-source and are very comfortable--highly rated by the headfi community | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? keith richard, "crosseyed heart"--he doesn’t overexert himself on the songwriting (the album sounds like it took him about an hour to write and record), but he’s become one of the great non-singers, with a real patina to his voice the feelies, "t... | |
| Need suggestions on efficient book shelf speakers for a Pass Labs XA3.5 i've head the pass with dynaudio and it was an excellent match | |
| Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito i don't doubt that the digitally-tweaked vinyl sounds better, and i would argue that mofi doesn't deserve the death penalty. bottom line, though, is that if, as alleged, mofi intentionally misled those analog purists who paid a superpremium for th... | |
| Has anyone had on of these CD players? How good are they? i've also had good experience with 90's era sony es cdps (i still use a 79es and used to have the 777es, which i never should have sold); even if the lasers (or more typically the belts) go bad, you can find replacements on ebay and the repairs ar... | |
| Current Universal Players cambridge audio makes a well-regarded oppo-based bdp which does dvda and sacd (not sure about hdcd). personally, i'd cheap out and go used--a lot of these overbuilt older lexicon/meridian/denon players can be had for pennies on the dollar. | |
| Bob Seger live albums +10 live bullet, which flat out rawks. nine tonight isn't bad but gets dragged down by all the aor ballads. | |
| Connect speakers to my new Denon AVR-x4700H Receiver or to my Outlaw 7125 7-Channel Amp my experience is that most mass market avrs benefit from an external amp, which generally has more oomph than the internal amps in the avr. per russ69 i would compare both ways, but i'd be surprised if you didn't like the outlaw better. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @reubent i can't get past the scene in "shaun of the dead" where they hurl "second coming" at the zombies. my pick for the week: andrew hill, "judgment"--not the flashiest or the most innovative, but in his own understated way he might be the bes... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? frankie miller, high life-- overlooked white soul belter who clearly influenced rod stewart and bob seger, though i think he's a better singer than either. does pretty well with the songwriting, too. elvis costello, the delivery man--for my money... | |
| kyocera Receiver R 861 i use the 861 in a basement system and never noticed it running hot. it's a quality piece--enjoy it. |
