| CAN SOMEONE HELP If you want something loud and cheap, just use a pro amp. You can get them at any music store. | |
| Can I use my SSP's DAC instead of external DAC with Mac Mini? " Mesch - operating under the "fewer devices and connections is better" premise - straight cable is fewest # of points to introduce possibility of degradation. Not being cheap, being careful."That's only true up to a certain point. Your system isn... | |
| These three cables, what would you choose? I used to be a Mirage dealer. Do you have the first gen M1's with the soft tweeters or the second gen with the aluminum tweeters? That's important because there's a big difference between the two.Assuming this system is going to be used for stereo... | |
| Magneplanar Listening Comparison 1.7 vs. 3.7 Speakers I have. Save yourself a headache and get a pair of Vandersteen Model 2's. Setup properly, and matched with the right electronics, you'll have a much better sounding system. | |
| Which pre should I choose? " buy and old counterpoint SA-2000 and change a few of the caps and resistors and your in business."I don't know about that one. Preamps have improved a lot since those things were in production. At 25+ years old its probably classified as vintage... | |
| NEED ADVISE ON AN AMPLIFIER TRANSACTION " Ahh, but Sean did make a mistake, he agreed to sell to a buyer in South America. I have shipped many items all over the world, but I have never shipped electronics or speakers out of North America. I'll ship cables, cords, fuses, outlets, phono ... | |
| Which pre should I choose? You really should listen to it first. The preamp is the most important piece to get right. If you don't care and just want to take a chance; BAT, CJ, Rowland, Sutherland, Pass, make preamps that might work for you. | |
| NEED ADVISE ON AN AMPLIFIER TRANSACTION " I have to disagree with the above two responses. According to Audiogon policy, the buyer's money should be refunded before the amp is returned."It's easy to do the right thing when it's not your money. If it was AG's money at risk, do you think ... | |
| Robert Lee recommends Triode Corp, but... Used BAT VK-55 or similar, ARC VT-100, VAC PA series, used CJ. | |
| Wadia 850 repair? Suggested replacement? I didn't realize you were joking, but I don't get the part about 16 year old technology. (actually its more than 16 years. something like 18-20. I had my 850 in 1997.) Here's a list of features that the Wadia has over the Oppo.-Transport. There's ... | |
| Can I use my SSP's DAC instead of external DAC with Mac Mini? Get a mini jack to toslink adaptor. They're cheap and you should have no problem finding one at a place like Radio Shack or a music store. You'll also need a toslink cable if you don't already have one. Then all you need to do is run the toslink c... | |

| Tube integrateds and Electrostatic Speakers " Any one out there experienced with Martin Logan or other electrostatics and tube amps? Am currently driving my ML Summit Xs with 185watts of SS power."Tubes are no problem. I drove my SL-3's with my VAC 30/30 (32 watts/ch). You don't need someth... | |
| Wadia 850 repair? Suggested replacement? " I'll bet you thousands,of dough-nuts, that the Oppo,in such a set, Blows away the old Wadia--even though it was great--way back then."I'll take that bet. A Wadia 850 will make a 105 or 203 sound defective on Redbook. And even though its old, the... | |
| Balanced interconnect for Hegel H200 " Prefer the clarity of the Columbias although these took some time for the bass to come in. Am curious about the AQ Colorados. "I have both. Not a big difference between the 2. |
