| CPI super platter vs. Classic aluminum platter I had a Super Platter on an Aries 1, and I never liked it. The Classic on the other hand; they will pry it from my cold dead hands....Love it. | |
| Former MHDT Havana Lovers: What did you move onto? I currently have the Wyred4Sound DAC 2, and it's very detailed and powerful, I think I liked the Havana better.I had the Bryston BDA-1 for about a year, and in my system that was the best DAC I have heard. It was just sublime. I think I may go bac... | |
| Magnepan 3.7's versus 20.1's? New Tympani, that would be awesome, I might actually open up the strong box for those. | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps You've made a great choice, don't waste money on a stupid expensive cord that takes electrons to the transformer of the unit. Look at Signal Cable if you think you need another cord. | |

| Martin logan CLS II Vs Magnepan 1.7 there's a reason they don't make the CLS anymore, and Maggies continue to make newer versions of the QR, now R, models.The Maggies are a much better speaker. | |
| Rolling Stone top 100 Guitarists - Howe/Van Halen I'm a huge Zeppelin fan, and not a very big Van Halen fan, but I don't agree Jimmy Page makes Eddie VH look like a child. I like Zeppelin much better, but I still think EVH is every bit as good as the GREAT Jimmy Page.My top 5 would be:1) Jimmy He... | |
| Maggie repair the standard repair is the 3m spray adhesive. But really, sending it back to Magnepan is the cure. They will fix it like new, and I was shocked at how cheap it was to have them fix my 3.6's when I had that problem.The shipping's not cheap, but the... | |
| Are CD players dead What's BluRay? Oh yeah, this decades version of the 8-track. | |
| Are CD players dead why will "CD's live another 50 yrs"? I understand vinyl, it's a niche media to hold analog, but you don't phyiscally need CD's to playback the inferior 44.1 files of CD's. You can get that crap downloaded. Or, you can get the better HiRez files, d... | |
| Are CD players dead Hey, I just had this thread a week ago!http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1316722795&openmine&zzMacdadtexas&4&5#MacdadtexasDead as a doornail, I say. With that said, I have seen some guys on here that still have mult... | |
| cooling mono amps I bought some little fans off of Amazon that are built to cool the power supply of computers. About $30 bucks and work great. I just attached them to the cages of my Rogue mono blocks. | |
| Yamaha PX-2 Cartridge Well, I bought a Shure V15 vxMR and have ordered a JICO replacement cartridge. Going for that early/mid 80's synergy sound. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I just got into another Japanese DD table you haven't mentioned the Yamaha PX-2, which seems a cross between an SP-10 MKII and a Bang and Olufsen 8002. It sounds great, but with the linear tracking arm, on top of the direct drive, it is the very d... | |
| Are Disc Players Dead? 4/5 is not a terrible overall rating. That was the original model, which I had, and it worked flawlessly. I currently have the newer 5 bay NS (network only) model, and it's even better. Software has improved, and though I have yet to lose a drive,... |
