| Single ended vs. XLR Connection Advise Needed I've got to admit that Bear spells things the right way.Having two sets of output circuitry is rather irrational for high fidelity reproduction since a)they both have a common ground b)the air acts in this case like a load too and there certainly ... | |
| Phono Amp Recommendations I've got far more reasonable choice(s) than Black Cube.1. You can get Monolithic demo for $359...399. It doesn't have as large gain as Black Cube but it definitely more resolving and wormer sounding unit. Better imaging as well. It's suitable to t... | |
| wattage difference between SS and Tube Don't be too serious buying Jolida since you can easily get dissapointed. Research Counterpoint amps or VTL(ST 80 in my mind). There will be better investment for SS amp with the same price as Jolida. | |
| The weakest link? ...Krell KSL might be a solution in your case or Pass X.02. | |
| Single ended vs. XLR Connection Advise Needed If your equipment have both outs/ins XLR and RCA more-likely it's not balanced. The true-balanced equipment has only balanced outs and that where it makse the point and sence. There has to be an output transformer present that separates positive a... | |
| wattage difference between SS and Tube Tube 50W "screams" more pleasant than SS 50W. On the lower volume levels they will sound absolutely the same in terms of loudness. The low (10x less than transistor's) output resistance of the tube allowes to draw the maximum current onto the spea... | |
| I'm still working to love digital, are you? Well to avoid such "digital stunt-racing" I've got some analogue and somehow manage to be less active in digital terms -- useless!!! | |
| Is there an end.......ever? Tim, try to manage your music and keep only valuable ones. Sell the ones you haven't listen or not listening anymore.Among 1000 CDs I'm sure you'll find such that you won't need anymore if you come and think logically on that issue.I roll-over eve... | |
| Music to die to How can you die to a pop music? I'm joking, but for real if you can get Jeff Berlin "Pump It" you'll know that there is part of truth in that joke. I also recommend Don "Sugar Cane" Harris "Got the Blues". He's got a blend of Jimi Hendrix and Orne... | |
| Is it worth it? BE CAREFUL! If you don't know their authentity than don't buy and spend more to buy real. | |
| Why buy older digital gear? ...and because some brands still do old tech producing finest CD players such as BAT, Burmester, Cary. | |
| Cheap Spades what kind of binding posts you have? i use no connectors(spades or bannanas) at all threading through just bare wires with some solder on them to prevent oxiding. | |
| New Analog system. where to start? "...easily smokes" since it has no limit on flexibility to change things arround including tonearms. My theorem states than there is no better Rega deck than Basis. | |
| New Analog system. where to start? Higher end Regas such as Rega 9 and Rega 25 can easily "factored out" and changed for better table with cheaper RB300 arm giving much better result.The above suggestion for HW19 is reasonable. I will add Basis 1400 with Basis RB300 arm. That combo... |
