| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD "I still think Parvi on RCA may be your best bet.".....if u mean Jarvi, I would agree for Crazee01 to start with that. | |
| Surge protection, have you tried? Very very nice. I have Blue Circle BC86's for filtering and a Furman for power surges. So, to get back on topic, if u live in an area with lightening strikes or unstable line voltage, I would say u need some protection. Audio Advisor sells the Fur... | |
| Surge protection, have you tried? Psag...What pwr cond, do u have and what components are running thru it? | |
| Surge protection, have you tried? I use a FURMAN SS-6B PRO SURGE SUPPRESSOR, the kind of power strip a band will use on stage. Made of steel, won't melt like some of those plastic strips you are referring to. I don't notice any audible difference between using the strip or the amp... | |
| Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD The Barenboim/Staatskapelle Berlin cycle has outstanding sonics, but slower, sensitive, and powerful ala Furtwängler. Large orchestra with violins split left and right, double bass on the left. Recorded 1999 on Warner. Similar to the Gardiner is ... | |
| RCA interconnects for tube amp setup under $100. Agree w/ Newbee. Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 Low Capacitance Audio Cable.Best bang for the buck... $35. Check out their website. | |
| NEED AUDIOQUEST TYPE 8 OR CV-8, PLEASE HELP. I see that Audio Advisor has Type 8 for sale. Or worst case scenario, buy the bulk cable and have them terminated. | |
| power conditioner/power cable On the subject of power strips, don't use the plastic strips being sold to plug your computer or accessories into. Use a professional pwr strip made of steel like guitarists use on stage. Furman makes one with heavy gauge PC. | |
| Amps - New vs. Used I think a used amp is a good value; maybe less than 10 years old and you probably would not need any repairs.Audiogon is much better than Ebay to buy an amp. Buying electronics on Ebay is a gamble; never know how many times the item has been flipped. | |
| Newbie needs advice "On the needledoctor website I read a lot of good reviews about the Denon DP300F. Is this any good? I'm asking because with my connections I can get one for about $260 brand new. Any comments?"That's a very good price to get u into the world of vi... | |
| PSB Image t6 or Imagine T? No sub and rotel amp Just curious, what type of music do u listen to? Vinyl thru PSBs makes for some nice sound. I lived with my Synchrony Two's for a while and then added a sub later on. Manitunc is spot-on with his assessment. | |
| Power amp /pre amp matching FYI Winoguy17,for future use...47,500/600 = 79.1 | |
| Newbie needs advice TTs dont need to be expensive or complicated if you are new to vinyl.google Needle Doctor to see all the possibilities. I suggest staying away from vintage, since you may need to spend $ to get them up to spec. I recommend a "plug and play" TT. Al... | |
| What should I be auditioning? You didn't say what amp will be powering the system or the size of the room. But in your price range is the Totem Dreamcatcher (monitor, $1200) and Totem Arro (fullrange, about $1700). Both feature remarkable soundstaging, non-fatiguing. But you w... | |
| Do amps degrade over time? "If it sounds good, leave it be. If you have the upgrade bug, shop for something new."Yes. I'll add if you like the "Sunfire sound" then keep it.Also, since your amp is 15 years old, it was built in USA. |
