| what preamp for Tenor 150Hps or 300Hp ? am very new to this high-end spectrum Why are you starting out at such a pricey level? Most work their way up, but you are looking at some pretty expensive gear right off the bat.Regards, | |
| Review: Audiomod Modified: EMM Labs Phillips SACD 1000 Transport Excellent review. I'm glad to see you were not deterred by something that happened a little while back in this area. Regards, | |
| Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe? Because it is my intention to mechanically couple my speakers, components, and rack to the flooring system! You are lucky enough to live in a cul-de-sac, and hence feel that vibration through the earth due to passing traffic is not an issue. You a... | |
| cowboy junkies I bought the new Junkies this morning at Fry's. If you have one of these stores in your area, you may want to take advantage of the special. I haven't played it yet - I'm listening to "Everclear" on SACD - it's pretty damn good.Regards, | |
| Have you heard the new Zanden digital gear? At T.H.E. Show in Las Vegas in January I heard the Zanden transport and the Zanden DAC in the Audiopax room and I was most impressed. I went back to that room three times for some extended listens. I can't think of any Redbook system I liked more.... | |
| Eric Clapton covers Robert Johnson just spent a small fortune on brand new DCC CD Queen's Day at the RacesAre you sure? The only Queen on DCC I know of is "A Night At the Opera" GZS-1144. I have all the Gold DCCs.I like the Eric Clapton CD - but I'm not ecstatic about it.Regards, | |

| Adding a Base to Floorstanding Speakers Tpsonic, what do these "audio platforms" do?Regards, | |
| What needs to go? You could test the CD player directly into the amp. Play something very soft that builds up slowly - like your best CD of "Bolero" - and get ready with the stop button. At least you will get an idea of what the preamp is doing, plus you are omitti... | |
| Are You Happy With 2 Channel SACD? I bought a Sony XA777ES a couple of years ago as an upgrade to my year-old Sony 333ES. I was so uninterested in the multichannel capabilities of the new player that when Ric Schultz was about to do his magic on it and he told me that it would not ... | |
| Worlds’ Best High End Loudspeaker Competition/Demo Nice report. All credit to "Stereoplay" for taking the trouble to organize something like this, and good marks to those manufacturers/distributors who did not shy away from the shootout. As you say, we are unlikely to see a similar competition her... | |
| Sophia Electric 845 - Any heard it? Coincident Victory's. The efficiency of them is 97db with a nominal ohm load of 14 not dipping below 10ohmsI've read a few reports indicating that the efficiency of Coincidents is a little overstated. No biggie. I own Super Eclipse IIs.Regards, | |
| EMM Labs on Bad Redbook The Infamously Awful Sounding CDMike,I wouldn't mind if you could list a couple of seriously bad sounding CDs you have. It would be fun to try some of those nasties in my system - I'm sure I could find a copy at the used CD store. Unless, of cours... | |
| $1130 system for a musician, please : As a musician you would be thrilled with the sound of the Jean Marie Reynaud Twin Mk IIIs loudspeakers at around $800 new. Maybe a second hand Arcam Alpha 10 (the preamp section is of lesser quality than the power amp section, but you can use a ou... |
