| To Preamp Or Not To Preamp,That Is The Question I can agree with all that...I was told though, that a preamp makes the signal 'better'...not sure how it can do that.The next big question would be, why don't high end CDP mfgs make CDPs with vol controls like the 575 ? I have heard some of the $$... | |
| Tyler Acc Linnbrook Sigs Upgrade 2 Vandersteen 3's Wow...69 views, not a response...let me guess...I think the reason is the Vandys are not in the same league as the Tyler, from what I read. :) | |
| Tandberg TR-2080 Receiver screw s ? Yes he does repair Tandbergs. I called him and asked. | |
| Magnepan IIa AMP recommendations FYI, I have 1 of them apart and I'll need to rewire the tweets...someday :) | |
| 'Best' CDP for under $1000 ? Upgrade to GCD-575 Well, FYI, I bought an Nakamichi OMS7 and, WOW. What a diff...got them A/B'd on a 'low-end' Onkyo TX-890...I can't imagine how much better a CA 840c might sound... | |
| Vandersteen 2C, 2Ci, 2Ce, 2Ce-sig comparisons Now you sound like my wife ! Just kidding...yes, I need to do that, easier said than done :) Now, if I lived alone...I did though, swap some speakers and found the 2Ci's aren't as 'bright'/in your face/2nd row, as I 1st thought...it was all positi... | |
| Vandersteen 2C, 2Ci, 2Ce, 2Ce-sig comparisons I'm pretty sure I read all those already...I started to make a list or table of which version shad what drivers, what chnages were made,,, but I gave up. Each review is mostly tailored to that review only. I was hoping for a c/2C/2ci/2Ce/2Ce-sig/I... | |
| 'Best' CDP for under $1000 ? Upgrade to GCD-575 Well, I really like the 575's ability to go directly to an AMP, so I'm getting another. That doesn't mean I wouldn't buy a 840c (one sold recently between emails) or a TEAC, but just postpones things for a while... | |
| 'Best' CDP for under $1000 ? Upgrade to GCD-575 Hmmm...I have not seen a 750 4sale in a while...There IS a Emotiva ERC1 4sale locally for 280.I sort of cringe when I hear TEAC for some reason...What do you think of what's 4 sale here on AG for under $1k ? | |
| Magnepan IIa AMP recommendations Yes, I'm going to repair them, just not sure if it'll be in June or July. I hope it's only a broken wire as I've read about. | |
| 'Best' CDP for under $1000 ? Upgrade to GCD-575 I am unfamiliar with this method, do not know what -transport- only means...I do like the fact I can connect the Adcom directly to an amp. I also keep my TV separate from my 'real' 2 channel audio. | |
| Magnepan IIa AMP recommendations The reason they sounded so dull is that the tweets are dead. I originally thought it may have been the 30WPC 'test' amp I brought with me to test them b4 buying...sorry for the confusion...it's not the amp at all. | |
| Magnepan IIa AMP recommendations I'm going back upstairs but I suspect thew tweets are dead for some reason. Will pull the fuse and see what happens. | |
| Magnepan IIa AMP recommendations Yes. Is that what the fuses are for, tweets only ? | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I'm sure there are many other amps to keep, but this is the best looking unit I've ever seen, although the meters on my 504's are bigger ! |
