| CD transports or players What do you think about ripping the cd collection and using a hard drive and streamer device to feed the DAC? There have been so many advances in this method, and some great products available. I believe the consensus is that a hard drive based ... | |
| what is the problem with too much tracking force? Cleeds, what is your advice? 1.76 exactly? What would you expect the issues may be with 1.95 of force as the table is at now versus the proper 1.76? | |
| what is the problem with too much tracking force? czarivey,Thanks for that. In fact I called my dealer to chat, and told him I watched Michael Freemmer's setup dvd, and that I want to learn this on my own. He told me that while Fremmer certainly knows his vinyl, my dealer does not agree with hi... | |
| South Fl. CDP Repairs/Mods Larry at Hollywood Sound has a workshop and does general repairs and the like. He's a nice guy, and seems quite capable. I do not know his limitations, but I am of the opinion that he can do this repair and would tell you if he couldn't. Tell hi... | |
| BEST AMPS FOR WILSON SASHA I am not a Sasha owner, but I do have Wilsons. I think the Cary is risky. I love tubes, but I think the 200 watts of pure class A in the Pass amp will be a better driver to the Sasha. I would be worried about lack of power with the Cary.i have ... | |
| BEST AMPS FOR WILSON SASHA My good friend has ARC VM220 tube mono amps for his Sasha 2's and speaks very highly of the combo. | |
| DENON APO 1500 And I agree with Paraneer :-)In fact, a cursory search for 2nd hand speakers at the $500 price point does show more promise than I had originally expected. Especially if you are willing to choose a speaker that is a bit on the older side, or has ... | |
| DENON APO 1500 With an amp of 150 watts and a speaker of 90db of sensativity, you should be able to get fairly good volume out of them. I'm not convinced a $500 speaker on the used market will be the way to go unless you just plain don't like the Polk speaker t... | |
| DENON APO 1500 Well, there is not a lot of info to go on here. While the amplifier that you have makes a difference, the larger considerations in choosing a speaker are your room, your taste in music, and your budget.please answer these questions and I'll give ... | |
| Dali Euphonia vs Wilson Sophia 1 Freight shipping can be quite reasonable, especially if one has the crates... | |
| Dali Euphonia vs Wilson Sophia 1 By the way, this may be a touch north of your budget, but there is a pair of Wilson Watt Puppy 7s for sale on audiogon. They were originally asking $7k, but now it is down to $6200 I believe. I heard this model speaker recently and was very, very... | |
| Dali Euphonia vs Wilson Sophia 1 I don't know about the Dali's, but I recently bought some Wilson audio Sophia 2's and I adore them! I also purchased them on the second hand market, with out a proper audition. Mine however were factory recertified and they looked as if they we... | |
| Peachtree Nova 65SE versus Cambridge Audio Topaz SR20 You're welcome, I'm glad to help! Streaming doesn't necessarily imply wireless. Streaming simply means moving the data off the hard drive or Internet to a device such as a DAC and then playing via the audio system. So in my system I have my CD... | |
| Peachtree Nova 65SE versus Cambridge Audio Topaz SR20 Well, two things to consider. One is the source for the music as the iPod and the other being the more powerful amp. 95 watts with 92 dB sensativity speakers is plenty of power. I play my 89 dB speakers with a 100 watt amp and I can rock out pr... | |
| Peachtree Nova 65SE versus Cambridge Audio Topaz SR20 My vote is for the Peachtree. I have owned product from both brands, and they are both nicely made, but I feel that the Nova will be a little higher end than the Cambridge in this case. The tube preamp stage is a nice touch. The DAC in the Nova... |
