| Will a RCA to RCA adapter hurt the sound? Would it be plausible to sell the two pairs of shorter cables and purchase one pair of the length you need? | |
| Upgrade Linn LP 12 or buy new table I am in similar situation, though not with a LP12 or at your budget. I am with those who have encouraged you to refurbish your table, with possibly minor upgrades and listening to it for a while to get a sonic ‘feel' for it again. Your table would... | |
| $800 to spend on speakers, $1500 on whole system Congrats on your Peachtree! If you can’t home demo speakers you might take the Peach to dealers for speaker audition. | |
| Refurbish a Dynaco St70 Yakbob, yea, won by a nose! And thanks. | |
| When I have seen people listing their systems lately I just realized that my last post was my 2nd here with basically the same message. This being my third, I think it is time for me to go listen to some music. I often tell my friends that I can be quite self effacing, however in their company that... | |
| best bookshelf speakers for < $2000? Yea, the room is so much a component of a system. The room can dictate speakers which in turn dictate an amp. Not to forget ones personal tastes in the synergys. | |
| Opinions Needed! It seems to me that Golden Ear need to do something about the impedance issue with the powered bass portion of this speaker such that it is more friendly towards tube amplification. Based on what I read, and what I heard at one time in a dealershi... | |
| Building a system from scratch (other than speakers) You need to talk to your dealer re the tick. This should not occur. After all you seemed to have purchased an entire system from Wilson so should be accommodated. As one who has both computer based and disc based digital front ends, I understand t... | |
| what pre-amps to try I am thinking that the Classe is SS, not tubed. I believe that mizike is heading in the right direction mating a tube pre to a SS amp. | |
| Best budget DAC I agree with edincleve, and remember that the built in DAC likely doesn’t require its own power supply, analog output stage, and housing that the $300 stand alone DAC does. What percentage of cost of a stand alone DAC in dedicated to the D to A co... | |
| Placement of DAC I should have added that I have my Disc player on top of my Bryston DAC, and use the vibrapods as jbond suggested. | |
| Refurbish a Dynaco St70 As an update, I was distracted from this however finally got around to boxing my ST-70 to be sent to Ralph. It will go out this week. I will keep all informed as this project progresses. May try to find a PAS-3 thereafter. Oregonpapa, maybe I need... | |
| what pre-amps to try I agree that the UV-1 is likely another fine candidate, I failed to mention that as I have never owned or heard one. The LS1 also used 6SN7 tubes. Also FWIW both are made in the US. And as I consider this, the UV-1 is far less expensive I believ... | |
| suggestions on upgrading my system I believe the weak link might be the phono/preamp stage in your integrated. Obviously different ways to attack this. Maybe getting a outboard phonostage 1st. Also can the amp be separated from the pre in the HK? | |
| Mogami Speaker cable question The canare is so inexpensive I would try it 1st and compare anything else I might try to it. Not withstanding the offer by maplegrovemusic which was very generous. |
