| Amp On or Off? Bravo to Elizabeth for clarity.There is compromise available. I have a Rowland which goes into standby when the 'Mute" button is pressed. In this position it stays on but only uses as much juice as a 100 watt light bulb. Surely other manufacturers... | |
| 'newer' Integrated Vs. 'older' Separates You haven't stated your budget in terms that I could readily interpret but my immediate impression is that your search is awfully narrow. There are many other remote control preamps and integrateds to choose from. Why are you limiting yourself to ... | |
| FM Reception question, please Ryan,I'm in the Grand Valley of western Colorado. We have a dozen or so stations in the valley and high mountains preventing reception of anything farther away than 20 miles. Terrain in the valley is very flat. Perhaps my circumstances are too unu... | |
| Goldmund Studio-still one of the best? If you can get a new WT Reference for that price (arm included)do not hesitate. It does everthing you're looking for very well though I cannot say if it is "cutting edge" in any category. I have used one of these for 8 years with no problems and w... | |
| Back to the audio future, going backwards I'm sure you're right,Crp. I'm trying to get this audio needle out of my arm. Wanna buy my subs? | |
| FM Reception question, please Fact is, by replacing my MD Silver Ribbon (indoors) with a Fanfare whip on the peak of my roof (outdoors, I increased the signal strength reading on my Accuphase T-101 tuner from 2 to 5 (pegged the meter).There is nothing theoretical about this. I... | |
| Back to the audio future, going backwards I replaced monoblocks, preamp and outboard phono stage and all their cables with a Rowland Concentra integrated. No dropoff in performance and a very pleased wife. Then I sold digital transport and DAC and DVD player and bought a better DVD which ... | |
| FM Reception question, please Two facts. When I worked in retail audio we sold Terk antennas. Because our store offered an unconditional return option, approximately half of the Terks came back.I also contacted C.Crane but I bought the Fanfare whip antenna and mounted it on th... | |
| How should I handle this? You should demand a full and immediate refund and, if there is any hesitation on the part of the dealer, you should tell us his name so that we can all avoid him. This forum will only remain safe for us to use if we ruthlessly purge those who atte... | |
| boyfriend is getting on my way Roxbury,Before you jump the fence and start slobbering all over me I have one more question. Are you a female? | |
| boyfriend is getting on my way Does this guy live with you? Is he vested in the system or just a kibbitzer? While it's true that this stuff does not all sound the same, there would be arguments about superiority even if it did.If you are happy with your system, leave well enoug... | |
| Vote for best US made solid state amp Jeff Rowland spares no expense and compromises nothing. There are no reviews. There is no advertising budget. His philosophy is that his products are appropriate for those, and those only, who can appreciate them. If you think there is another com... | |
| Cult Classics for Young Future Audiophile My 10 year old has a Yamaha digital piano and lessons. Part of my deal with him was a sound system to play the piano through. He has a Reference Line 3000 passive preamp, NHT Pro M-00 and S-00 (satellites and sub) which are self-powered, a Mitsubi... | |
| Top Ten Speakers of All Time? Goldmund Dialogues. These obscure speakers were offered briefly in the 80s in this country and were light years beyond any other dynamic at the time. I'm out of touch now so I can't speak to how well they hold up to modern achievers but here's the... | |
