| Improve your ear with these. 834p I've heard that Thorsten's EAR 834P Modification Guide is one of the best. | |
| Which Mundorf for my tubes? Paul, I put Dynamicaps in my Alon's (going to the tweeter) and love the sound. It was a huge improvement over the stock Solens. I'd like to try a pair of Mundorfs Silver/Oil. -Mark | |
| Which Mundorf for my tubes? Dpac996, what was the brand of caps in your BAT before you upgraded to Mundorf's? | |
| Affordable Power Cords Hi Rick, I would love to get a Power 3. I'm in the market for power cords right now. Many thanks, Mark | |
| Looking for a Reasonably Priced Power Conditioner I've been happy with a PS Audio Quintet. It eliminated a slight buzz in my system and lowered the noise floor to utter silence. The Duet shares the same design but has 4 receptacles rather than 10. For $200 used, you can't go wrong. -Mark | |
| New Oppo DV-980H or used Denon DVD-2910? Here's a hearty recommendation for a Denon 2910 or 3910. This same question was asked about a week ago. Browse through the forums. | |
| Rega upgrades/tweeks Williewonka, did you do Twl's strange tonearm tweak? If so, any thoughts? Also, you might be interested to hear how Charlieboy built a 275 lb. isolation box for his TT using maple, sand and granite: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vevol&am... | |
| Best universal player under 1k used? The Denon 3910 is hard to beat for $450 used. With HDMI, DVI, S-video and component video out, it's more flexible than other units. The video is simply stunning and audio is on par with other players in the sub 1000 category. Here's a worthwhile r... | |
| Rega upgrades/tweeks Williewonka, I had the same skepticism about Michell's Tecnoweight. It's amazing that a counterweight can do so much. Before you splurge on a Tecno-arm, check out this $5 mod to your RB250: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1032024... | |
| Help Bookshelf recommendations $1000 should get you some excellent monitors. Alon Petite, Nola Rascal, Totem Model 1, Green Mountain Audio Europa, Spendor S3/5se... to name a few. Cleaneduphippy is right to ask what the rest of your system looks like. Tubes? SS? btw, Alon IV's ... | |
| Is there a budget preamp that stands out? A Bellari VP-129 for less than $200 would add a nice tube warmth and match well with your high output Shure. | |
| phono stage recommendations for garrard zero 100 Avrij, before you take the plunge, you should seriously consider a Bellari VP-129. I've owned several inexpensive SS phono pre's: NAD, Parasound, Musical Fidelity X-LPS. The tube-based Bellari sounded best in my opinion. It's hard to beat for less... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? I drive a Nimbus 2007. | |
| What equipment or event thrust you into the hobby? It was 1979 and I was still in high school. My best friend's dad had a pair of Snell Type A's that were off limits to us. When he was out of town, we snuck in and played Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here. Those were profound audiophile ... | |
| Phono stage for Benz Wood H2 The Wright WPP200c has variable gain control (up to 60 db) without using a step-up. It works equally well with MM as it does with LOMC. The gain control allows you to use it as a stand-alone preamp connecting directly to your amp. It's modest pric... |
