| Dumb Head Phone Question I own a lesser model of Bravo but can attest even the Bravo V2 (also a one tube design) sounds unbelievably good, even in comparison to my SinglPower Extreme! And they cost about $80- honestly its good.If you want what the Head-Fi community is exc... | |
| CM1's ALL AROUND? Yes- Get floor standers for the mains speakers and you room acoustically is still large. | |
| Bad experience with PurePower of Canada Taters, Do you mean they had a bad reputation before this post? I never knew about that.I am curious if we as a community with this special interest can form our own feedback rating system for positive and negative experiences. I do not doubt Hoop... | |
| Fern & Roby Cast Iron Turntable? I am unsure what the material is on top of the bronze platter. If it is the bronze itself it has innumerable fissures, cracks and pockets, which I would think is hard to balance. A very massive plinth of iron which they indicate is damped, isn't h... | |
| Where can I find vifa m11mh-09-08 midrange drivers They may be specialized for you speakers. Does Vifa have a web site that can guide you to the right source. I know for my Focal Electra tweeters I had to go through the distributor. | |
| Dumb Head Phone Question I own the HD 700s by Sennheiser and like them very much. I also own AKG 7XXs and K701s in the past. They all sound very good using dedicated headphone amps. They aren't terrible using built in amps, like the from Oppo or other gear they just sound... | |
| a first integrated amp to build a system around Without sounding scolding I also agree that system building starts with speakers. They are really definitive in the way your system will sound. If I had to choose the non speaker parts I recommend buying the Music Hall gear. I bought my first "hig... | |
| PrimaLuna ProLogue Integrated - Help Needed That's not your amp it's your heart beating when the music is turned up.BTW does this happen with all sources? | |
| Which model Tannoy for my audio room If you are talking about the old prestige line I think it is called. I think you should speak with the US distributor. Limiting factors might be cost as well as room size and amps. | |
| Thoughts on Overlord 12AX7-HD / ECC803S-HD tubes This is obvious silly nonsense testing the saying that one is born every minute. Honestly it is ridiculous, surprised he had the blanks to list them. I have seen more legit offerings from this guy. Also my search turned up another Ebay ID Lord-HD ... | |
| Audio Rack Opinions DIY with maple shelves and brass rods. Search for examples, most are like Mapleshade Audios Racks Stands etc. | |
| Good, basic receiver for $500 or so? The class D argument can be a long winded one but usually ends up as-If properly implemented for specific applications class D amps are very good efficient and useful.Personally most don't do the trick for me. | |
| VAC Signature 2a Preamp Question I think you have told us. I hear what I think is tube rush! There may be a bad tube in the phono circuit, which BTW can also make humming or other baseline noise. Check your tone arm wires and check the tubes. You can get very quiet tubes from Jim... | |
| Best Integrated, period. How do you buy a Vitus sia-025 or anything from them quite frankly? I went to their website and there is no US distributor or dealer.I also have a pet peeve with companies that don't list the price. I understand they are expensive, but it would be... | |
| oppo 105d mod or look for a new cd player ? At ZD 542I am unfortunately deeply aware of the DAC as a critical piece of gear to the new(er) generation of audiophiles. I am active on Head-Fi where I would venture a guess that the vast majority use computer servers and the audio component of c... |
