| Does your system sound better than most demo's? When i hear a demo system that really impresses me I pay as much attention to how it is set up and how the room was tuned as I do to the equipment. This is from one who enjoys the 'study' of sound pressure flow within an audio space as electron fl... | |
| Recommend an Entry Level Turntable I believe you would be happy with either the Pro-ject debut carbon or the Rega RP-1. Both highly regarded at the price point. After a couple years a new cartridge makes for an easy upgrade. Turntables last a long time, I have had mine near 30 year... | |
| Why use DAC w/ server equipped w/ one already? Given your situation, I agree with RW. Purchase the disk player since that seems to be your priority. Both players you mention allow access to the internal DAC. Should you wish at a later date to also use server, you can use the player as a DAC. I... | |
| Does your system sound better than most demo's? Though I have long hoped to attend an audio show, I have not yet had this experience. It seems to me however that it is difficult to set up a high end system in a fashion that best displays its sonic worth under show constraints. I have heard many... | |
| Tone Controls can be so nice. Nonoise, nice OP and follow-up. Thanks for sharing.Dreadhead, thanks.Holiday cheers to all! | |
| Tone Controls can be so nice. I stand by my opinion regarding playback, tone control use by others, and my choice. Never intended a 'jab'. Dreadhead, water off my back. | |
| rookie audiophile upgrading speakers I agree with Lowrider. However, even with this information, due to the subjectivity inherent is making a speaker choice, it is difficult for one to recommend a speaker system that will best suit another. When auditioning speakers, take your amp to... | |
| Tone Controls can be so nice. Ones room alone prohibits playback identical to that intended by producer/engineer. There is no reason to discount the use of tone controls to those who find benefit from there use. My current pre lacks tone controls, and when I had them in my sys... | |
| Bored with my B&W Zepplin Air I would not be concerned about single driver speakers. They can be most cohesive and likely error by rolling off frequency extremes, at least those meant for desktop use. Given your post, this should not be a problem, possibly a benefit. Find spea... | |
| Looking for integrated amp with phono for starter Things to ask your friend: What is budget for turntable as budget for amp is broad.As asked previously, what are the speakers?Any desire to go tubes? | |
| What is the missing element? I also wold have purchased Steve's products however can't afford them at this moment. I purchased a used audiopilleo2 with purepower and am happy. Haven't had it in my system long enough to provide a great deal of feedback beyond that. Can say tha... | |
| How does relative humidity affect our music? Dryer air is more dense than moist air because diatomic N and O is replaced by H2O which is lighter. Truncation of sound as it travels through air is frequency dependent with higher frequencies more greatly attenuated. THe more dense the air, the ... | |
| Your Favorite AC Outlets Al, great response! With minor edits for specificity your response would be appropriate in a number of threads in this forum. | |
| B&K preamps Pro 5, CS 117 verses Hafler DH 110 Owned a Pro-10 from 1985-2010. Sold it here on AG for $225 when it was time for a new system. Never a problem and sounded great with MM/LOMC capability. | |
| Size matters- recommend small system or component I believe in the NAD D3020 recommendation. A friend of mine ordered one and I will get a chance to hear it. Reviews are positive, for what that is worth. A small footprint all in one box (DAC and integrated amp). A disk player or server would be r... |
