| Rotel rc 995 That's a pretty under-rated pre-amp. I don't know how much you're really going to be able to improve over it for $500. | |
| Sub? Can't Decide There is a Linn Akurate 221 8" sub on A'gon right now for $995. The retail on this is $3750. I have one in my living room and it is a fantastic sub for both music and movies. It's perfect for a moderate size room -- not big enough for a big room. ... | |
| Anyone know what these funky vintage speaker are? So - how do they sound? | |
| Processor DACs Steve - are you commenting on the Mac Mini as a source or the Wadia as a USB converter? | |
| Processor DACs I finally got around to bringing my Wadia 121 home from the office and hooking it up to my home system. The goal was to compare the internal DACs on my Anthem AVM-50v with a quality stand-alone DAC like the Wadia. As mentioned above, the main diff... | |
| 500 Greatest Albums of all Times As far as I'm concerned, this is about as useful as asking my 80-year-old father to name his 500 favorite rock records (and, just to be clear, he's not a rock fan). | |
| DAC QUESTION FOR DUMMY As between those two choices, I'm confident the Oppo 95 will sound better than the DacMagic. In fact, IMHO, my Oppo 93 even sounds better than the Dac Magic+ I auditioned. I'm sure you will be happy with the Oppo, but based on reviews, you might c... | |
| Budget USB cable? I haven't done much in the way of brand comparisons, but I can tell you that my Pangaea pure silver USB cable (their more expensive variety) sounds MUCH better than the crappy USB cable that came with my DAC. $50 for 0.5 meters. $99 for 1 meter. | |
| MARTIN LOGAN TRIPLES THEIR PANEL REPLACEMENT "Just to survive the buisness climate that this current President has created."1. Let's leave the politics out of this audio forum2. Are you completely unaware that the economic catastrophe that almost completely shut down the U.S. banking system,... | |
| In re: MOG, and Anne Briggs Just wanted to chime in that I subscribed to MOG last week and have been really enjoying it. There is no question that the sound quality is significantly better than Pandora One, and the ability to choose to play whole albums and pick specific son... | |
| Dolby "ATMOS" surround sound..... 64 channels? This is starting to sound like the old Steve Martin bit:"I bought a Stereo! Wow! With two speakers!But then I heard the quad with the four speakers and I was like, this is it, so I got rid of the stereo and got the quad.Im listening ... | |
| Best beer Mission Brewery (from San Diego) Blonde Ale has become my recent go-to, everyday beer. Nice flavor, good body, but goes down smoothly. Also tried some Magic Hat #9 (from Vermont) and Brooklyn Summer Ale while I was in NY, as well as Bronx Brewery ... | |
| Best recorded rock song ? I'd also add Phish's later studio albums, beginning with Farmhouse and Billy Breathes. I like their older music better, but these albums sound superb. I think they built there own studio in a barn in Vermont. Well, maybe it's not a barn, but that ... | |
| Best songs played by non-author artists... The term you are looking for is "cover song." There is already a massive thread on this forum about the best rock covers. | |
| Power amp + CDP: is that enough? I think there is a lot of misinformation being spread around about digital volume controls. They are not all created equally. I personally think my Wadia 121 DAC with volume control sounds better direct to the amp, for example, and many others agr... |
