| Review DB Audiolabs Tranquility DAC I've only had a Tranquility for about a month, i bought an open box dac from db audio during a recent audiocircle sale. Even though this is my 1st dac (recovering vinyl junkie) i'm blown away at the performance. I really didn't think this is how i... | |

| Walls, ceilings, floors -- neighbors and sound i went through this a few years back when i bought a condo...if you like it loud, first you must acoustically treat your room. This may sound strange, but by adding the $250 Room Tunes kit from MGA, i can listen at quite loud volumes however very ... | |
| Speltz Anti-cable needs break-in period? I've had the anti-cables for 2 years now, just luv 'em. In all the threads i've participated re: paul's wonder wire, i've never ran across a person who preferred to twist them. Even Mr. Speltz sais to lay them so they aren't touching one another.O... | |
| Basic Room Tuning for Dummies I just bought a set of RoomTunes for $200 from michael green audio...i'm blown away at the improvement. Never tried a panel system, RoomTunes looks WAY better, and for $200 its a bargain. Another poster stated speaker position is key, and it is in... | |
| Acoustic TReatments - What, How much, & Where? if your budget is an issue (it is for me) definitely go and buy the $200 RoomTunes kit from michael green audio. WAY better looking than panels and easier to figure out. Once all your corners are treated, look into a few bass traps, and you are do... | |
| Anti-cables vs CC89259 Try a length of the bulk cable with unterminated ends...I've been using the Anti-cables for 2 yrs now and love them, they replaced cryo'd Belden CAT5 wire from takefiveaudio.com and simply blew them away. I have a 10' pair that cost me $44...you r... | |
| recommendation for best low cost rca interconnect I gotta recomend Paul Speltz's anti-IC's made with Eichmann Bullet Plugs and WTB silver solder...for $140 you won't find a faster, clearer and more musical sounding IC.I use mine in between CI vpc-2 passive pre and Muse Model 100 amp...can't wait ... | |
| LP to CD transfer question...what is best? Thanks for your responses, I am definitely gonna look into getting a master disk recorder like the alesis or maybe a cheaper one from tascam or hhb. | |
| Tube Playback for Apple iPod... Definitely check out the Musical Fidelity X-10v3 tube output buffer to put a definitive end to this thread. Tube playback for ipod is easy, cheap & necessary. Hooked up in between your ipod and your preamp it makes ipod sound like a multi thou... | |
| Best $500 cartridge? Dynavector DV-20XH? Thanks for your response...i'll definitely get ahold of them. Any issues with surface noise being an issue with the 20XH? the only time i've heard it the vinyl being played was really poor and all i could hear was fuzz. | |
| Pro-Ject Xpression & Debut Modifictions....read Unfortuneately, Marigo's site sais nothing about their tonearm specific kit...the dots are way difft than sorbathane dots though...hard and not soft. You can buy them with a a 30 day guarantee from www.musicdirect.com for $50 and check out audio a... | |
| Pro-Ject Xpression & Debut Modifictions....read Plug & play...is there such a thing?! VinylRowe thanks for your response. I totally forgot to say that I use the Speedbox, but just the regular $100 one, and that i think it is necessary. One weird little tweak to the Speedbox or any other tt ... | |
| Help Need tone ctrl on a reference integrated Thanks Satch! I looked all over MF's site but couldn't find anything current...its a bit strange that the only distributor in N. America (listed on the site anyway) wasn't familiar with this, but then again it may be an old product...I will try an... | |
| Help Need tone ctrl on a reference integrated Rgcards, can I use one of my other integrated amps as the equalizer/tone control you recomend using? I'd have the tape 2 out on the Albarry going into the main-in on my '80 Marantz 1122 dc (fully restored) then a cable from the pre-out on the mara... |
