| CD and/or LP collections. Is it about the music? Pmkalby,My vinyls and CD-s are shelved onto "groups" and I don't listen just to one record I listen to the whole "group" of them and the session might go for 6 hours. Not neccessarily I will do a critical listening but later at night I turn-off am... | |
| IC's gain dependent? 40000 Ohms are too extreame!!!But the audiable level difference to the tens of kOhms load might start in range of high tens of Ohms or low-hundreds Ohms depending on input impedance of amplifier or next component which still too much. Even digital... | |
| CD and/or LP collections. Is it about the music? Price of my music collection greatly exceeds the price of my system.It's not because some expencive pressings are present. I can say that I only have 1 MFSL copy of Led Zeppelin2 and mostly value records by its music. | |
| How to make your CD player/amp live longer ? It's realy a matter of either using it or not using.I saw the auction where Towncar from 1990 had only 7,000 original miles on it and were used not more than 4...500mi per year. | |
| Will digital amps make analog amps obsolete? Digital amp is another hifi-ish way to sell pro-grade amps for big kilobucks instead of couple-hundred dollars. | |
| OL Silver vs SME 309 I'm the owner of Michell and I use Incognito RB300. I opted for it since I already had RB300 unmodified from my previous TT. The sound is great but SME309 is more robust and adjustable. Very often precision matters more than rigidity. If I didn't ... | |
| Scratched discs - what do to? Ev,Just come by St Mark's pl. in NYC and you won't wonder anymore. | |
| paradigm studio 100V2 with Mcintosh tubes Rsbeck as God created all equal Watts are created equal as well.Load can vary power and that's what it all about.100Wpc is power at 1kHz freequency at 8Ohms. What will be the power to 22 Ohms? 3 Ohms? | |
| Scratched discs - what do to? Forgot to mention one more thing 'bout GamuT CD-1:I realy saw it in the demo room played abused(I mean realy abused caseless laying arround player and on the top as well) CDs with no compromise so I'm not sure if it has such design problems. | |
| Help to pick redbook player Karabiy.., Unico might not be enough for Paradigm at least I didn't feel it was conservatively rated. I'd prefere going with NAD C370 integrated and you're right,... prior upgrading CD-player. | |
| Tube Rolling on PSE HL1 hybrid line stage preamp I'd just in case asked if matching is required. Pretty odd but Sonic Frontiers does...Please note that 6922 often needs to be matched to itself as dual triode especially if used on output stages. | |
| Scratched discs - what do to? You haven't mentioned buying a better CD instead of the one you have. Maybe it'll be much cheaper.Living in NYC gives you that possibility greater than in any other city or town. Go to St Mark's Place where you might find a replacement for $2...3 ... | |
| CD playing Rituals My CD-rituals are extreamly identical to vinyls.Here are my ten CD-commendments:1. Wash hands preferably with soap(I love Oil of Olay or Irish Spring not sure if any audiophile grade exists on that issue).2. Keep CDs in jewel boxes or non-abrasive... | |
| paradigm studio 100V2 with Mcintosh tubes biamp is the best treatmemt for all complicated and tough loads. you might end-up with much less but clip-free power. you can useNAD C370 integrated used($400) as woofer amp(upto 600Hz) and preamp --> marchand crossover(tube or ss whichever you... | |
| weighting speakers and resistance loading???? Don't ever put send into the port. Speakers usually have a designated loading hole separated with the plane bellow the port. If such doesn't exist than don't bother.A resistance loading needed when speaker represents a tough load. Usually you conn... |
