| budget component in high-end system? I see a lot of Sony Playstations being used as CDPs in fairly high end systems. | |
| Lost in the loudspeaker wilderness... aquabahn, I admire your taste in music, very eclectic and similar to mine! :) I had a similar dilemma when I was shopping for speakers and after many years of wandering in the wilderness I found a great solution - the Gershman Avant Garde. They ha... | |
| You favourite There's a ton of stuff out there, but starting with Mali there is: Toumani Diabate is a kora player, absolutely beautiful music. His Djelika album is a great starting point. Also one of the biggest selling CDs and most famous groups from Mali was ... | |
| Cayin CD 50T , or something else? there was a previous thread on this topic. Everyone, including myself love this CDP. I've ordered a new AWV tube and can't wait to try it out because its already very nice with the stock tube.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&11686... | |
| What's wrong with my ProJect 9.1? Loading settings? do you mean on the Slee phono stage? none that are located externally at least. The cart is relatively new, maybe 200 hrs. I've set the anti-skate to the middle (of 3 possible settings) | |
| Ortofon 2M Black- Graham 1.5/Rega/Origin Silver I'm thinking of putting a 2M Black on a Project 9.1 which has a tonearm mass of 8.5g. Is this a good match?Also, I'm a newbie at this, so could someone please explain how resonant frequency is calculated and its significance? | |
| Cayin CD50-T Anybody audition or own this? Now I'm really interested in rolling some tubes for this CDP. Does anyone know where I can get some AWV 12au7 tubes, they seem to be rare? Are the ECC82 compatible? | |
| Cayin CD50-T Anybody audition or own this? I absolutely love this CDP, for the price its simply unbelievable. I'm embarrased to say that it outclasses my analog setup (Project 9.1, Slee Era Gold Mk V, Dyna 10X5). I'm using the stock tubes and can't imagine it improving by much, but look fo... | |
| Is the magic in shindo or verity? Cerrot, just curious as to what model Shindo gear you heard to make you go "Wow!". | |
| used koetsu Hi Byron, I recently looked into re-tipping my Onyx and it was about $2K, but it comes back in a nice wooden box!! :)Apparently when they "re-tip" it, the only thing that's original is the case, everything else is replaced so its essentially a new... | |
| How does Shindo compare to... I heard the AN Quest, but wasn't impressed by it, went for a Shindo Montille instead. | |
| Is the magic in shindo or verity? RChau I recently bought an Aurieges L. Would I be able to order a Shindo phono-stage for it, or am I over simplifying? You're right about the Shindo magic, its intoxicating, I'm now looking for an amp to match with it and hope to assemble an all S... | |
| leave power on? I've heard that one should never leave tube amps on 24/7 because its a fire hazard, almost like leaving an iron on. My tube amps definitely sound better after at least 30 minutes of warm up though. | |
| Devore Super 8 speakers with WHAT cable? Orjazzm I've responded to that ad selling the A23 cables for $450 twice, but with no response. I think its a stale ad and/or the seller's dissapeared. | |
| What is under $5k speaker with best bass slam? The Gershman Avant Gardes with their itty bitty 8" woofers go down to a respectable 27Hz and have good control and slam. They're quite impressive for their size. |
