| How to soundproof my turntable? what about just an isolation platform?? Gingko??? | |
| Parasound JC 1 or Musical Fidelity KW 550? I had the Mac 501's in my system, and the Pass 350 and didn't like either of them nearly as well as the JC1's. The Mac sounded muddy and slow, and the Pass seemed way too bright. It could just be the other equipement and my speakers (Magnepan 3.6r... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? 2007 Supercharged (Whipple HO, twin screw) Mustang GT Convt, very highly modified. Long tube headers, guages, Borla Exhaust, Wilwood 6 Piston 14" brakes, lots of stereo gear. Just like audio gear, I like stuff that can be tweaked. Very fun, and no... | |
| Pre-Amp Help Teajay, right now I am not changing anything out, but thanks for the info. In fact, I don't anticipate changing out the Cary SLP98p in the foreseeable future. It's my favorite piece of gear. | |
| I Tunes Backup I bought a Drobo and Drobo Share which is basically infinite storage with self-contained back up. I have pathed my iTunes there, and it currently has 4TB drives in it. That gives me 3.2 TB of storage, and backs it all up. If any of the drives fail... | |
| Pre-Amp Help I have a Cary SLP98P F1 from Kevin at Upscale Audio and it is STELLAR. Running into (same as yours)Cary 500mb to my Maggies. I don't think you need that much juice for the beautiful and talented Paradigms, tube amps might be just incredible with t... | |
| When did Musical Fidelity start making stuff in... I thought all of the Cary Audio gear was still made in North Carolina?? Is that not the case? | |
| Parasound JC 1 or Musical Fidelity KW 550? JC-1's, I have never heard the MFidelity's but the JC-1's are simply fantastic. | |
| What planer speaker to start with? Budget 2k If you have $2k you need to look at Maggie 1.6qr's as stated above, or a very good condition, in fact with your budget you could send them back to Magnepan, of Maggie IIIa's. Both great speakers, but both need a lot of power, the more the better. | |
| Spectron III or MF Superchargers + tube amp? The MF Superchargers plus tube!! Why?? Because I don't know of anyone else who has done it, and I want to know how it sounds because it intrigues me with my set up. Good luck!!! | |
| Newbie Analog High Expectations?? Excellent call!! Sounds exactly like what I did, and I am hooked. I have cleaned a ton of albums with my VPI, but I keep going back to buy new re-issues, they seem much better to me. Some of my used purchases have been great, but I now only go to ... | |
| Newbie Analog High Expectations?? ahh, if you are certified gear head, you need to get an old Garrard or AR table and modify it yourself. Go to soundofthewood.com and look around, you will get hooked. You are have the perfect background to become a vinyl-phile. | |
| Newbie Analog High Expectations?? I grew up with vinyl but had not listened to it in years. I liked SACD's quite a bit and since inferior downloaded music killed all disks and I went to the server-DAC set up, I only recently bought a new turntable, and.... Huge difference. To be h... | |
| Remote not in line with seating position Just spend $80 and get a Xantech IR repeater system, very simple | |
