| Tech for CDP-101 repair Oh My God! That is a point of reference all right! Don't mean to be rude but the idea of listening to that thing brings back real bad memories! I got fired from a HiFi store for syaing what I thought of the sound of that thing when it came out. Ev... | |
| Whatever happened to Super A circuitry ? Aczel is a kook! | |
| Upgrading VTL 2.5 pre-amp to: CAT, BAT, or ARC? My bet is that even though all of the pre amps you mentioned are top shelf and sound great on their own merits, that statement you made about your VT 100 makes me think you would love the sound of an ARC pre with it. I have ARC with ARC and they j... | |
| Anyone ever repaired a smashed dome tweeter????? Unsound attended the Linda Lovelace school of HiFi repair, now if I could just get my wife to straighten out the bend to the left in the ol' Shunyata Anaconda vX that way? | |
| Old Sherwood tube tuner Albert is right that they sound good but the one I had years ago drifted like survivors of the titanic! | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 O.K., Albert, and the rest of you what do you think? "The Porter Port" Sort of derivative or hell, even appropriated, but it's to the point and will sound cool listed in my virtual system as well as sounding cool in my real system! | |
| Audio Research SP-11 MK2 Umbilical Cord Upgrade?? Soundude,Talk to Steve Huntley at GNS about it. He seems to know what the hell is going on. Also check out some of the reviews in the forum on the Wadia CD players he has upgraded for Agon members.They are all thrilled by what he does! I know for ... | |
| Audio Research SP-11 MK2 Umbilical Cord Upgrade?? Check the Great Nothern Sound web site. I think Steve does this sort of work. I think I have seen one other source for this but I'll be damned if I can remember it. | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 Giving of Thanks to you Albert! I can't wait to start "cooking" these frozen turkeys. I have made a couple of changes as of late and my system sounds better than ever. If these improve things further my ass will be glued to my listening couch for ... | |
| Vandersteen or Klipsch I agree with Sek, These are two very different flavors. Gthrush1 is also onto something with the ARC CA 50, a member told me the other day that his is going to go on the market soon and would be a great combo with your CD player and whichever of t... | |
| Opinions on ARC VS-110 amplifier Go to the ARC site and read the info about this amp for a start. I have not been able to hear it yet, but to answer you question on the biasing adjustment, it seems that they have made it much more convenient. You will be able to do it without rem... | |
| Anyone had Vandersteen 3's upgraded to 3A Sig? Davemon,The cross over for the 2wq's can be quite transparent providing that you DON'T; #1,use the switchable X-over box that comes with them. #2,use the wrong value fixed filter. #3,use the Vandersteen fixed filters(they cloud the sound in a bad ... | |
| Tonearm Cable Question Most tone dedicated "tone arm" cables have a DIN connector on on end, and RCA's on the other. Some tables have an RCA termination and can use any RCA to RCA cable. The thing to consider here is that a sheilded cable may be of some benifit between ... | |
| Vandy 2ce vs. 2ci They are great for all sorts of music, and I play lots of rock and blues too. They are quite natural and accurate which works for everything."Rock" speakers are a breed unto their own and I would stay away myself. I don't know anything about the P... | |
| Vandy 2ce vs. 2ci The 2Ci does not go quite as low as the Ce, the bass difference is subtle as are the other changes. The Sig is reported to be a much improved speaker using the tweeter from the old 3a( the 3a Sig uses the same tweeter as the 5)and upgraded Xover. ... |
