| Critique my system... Go "borrow" a few DACS and use that instead of the internal DAC in the NAD unit and hear the difference. Same for other components and cables. Try them out in your system before you purchase. But, since you asked, my order would be:1. Audition var... | |
| Class A or AB amp for JBL S4700 speakers I have trouble believing that dealers won't let you take home high end equipment to audition in your system. If it is in the shop it is demonstration equipment anyway. They take your credit card information and only charge to it if you don't retur... | |
| Tube in Preamp or Power amp? Depends on your system (speakers) and the type of sound you desire. But, I can tell you that there are some pretty darn good tube and solid state pre-amps out there, so simply stating that a tube pre-amp is best is, well, not quite accurate. same ... | |
| Is a high priced Line Conditioner needed I installed three dedicated lines with hot, neutral and ground for each dedicated line. My noise floor dropped dramatically, the sound is wonderful. low level electronics were originally all connected to Monster HTPS 7000 signature conditioner. Ea... | |
| Song With Best Beginning Street Life by the Jazz Crusaders. listen to the opening. wow! | |
| Digital recordings on Vinyl I like Elizabeth's response. Also, remember that some new recordings are not available in analog format. So, sometimes the only alternative is digital (read cd) purchase. I avoid downloading compressed digital recordings. So, my opinion is to have... | |
| Linda Ronstadt can't sing anymore. Someone to lay down beside me and long long time are two of my all time favorite songs and her voice was amazing. I'm glad that we at least have the memories and her music. I wish her the very bestenjoy | |
| Explain Digital Basics to an Analog person You need the following:1. CD/DVD/Blue Ray player that plays the types of CDs that you want to play. you can use it as a CD players or as a transport only. A CD player reads the digital information off the discs and also converts that digital infor... | |
| Heads Up: ARC is introducing the new SP-20 in Fall Oh, I don't know Tonywinsc, go the a really high end appliance dealer and check out what the prices are for the very best. They aren't close to the stuff sold by Best Buy. Find the short list of the very best TVs made. You will be surprised at the... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State I have to vary slightly from the others. The ML 23.5 and 20.6 are still to this day, two of the very best amps I have heard. I have heard others from Mark Levinson after the company was sold and I wasn't greatly impressed. Howevedr, the two mentio... | |
| Heads Up: ARC is introducing the new SP-20 in Fall Taters: Thanks for the input, but there is really no way can you buy a Rolex for full retail and sell it immediately afterwards for the same price. Every store has large mark ups on price. some more so than others. Also, Rolex's aren't as collecti... | |
| Speaker Impedance: Resistance and Phase Question The phase angle is zero at resonance. That is when the capacitive load and the inductive load components cancel each other out at a specific frequency and you are left with only a resistive load.enjoy | |
| Heads Up: ARC is introducing the new SP-20 in Fall It is always interesting to me when people complain about the prices of components. Most times, they don't know too much about how things are designed (R&D), components are procurred, or construction. Not to mention the company's overhead. How... | |
| Speaker Impedance: Resistance and Phase Question Just one clarification. The voltage is fixed with zero phase angle. It is the current that either lags or leads the voltage. Depending on whether there exits a capacitive, inductive or combination of the two load.enjoy | |
| Tubes vs Solid State I guess those of us that like and appreciate both tube and solid state electronics must not be welcome here. So Nelson Pass, Dan D'Augustino, Mark levinson and the thousand of other really good electronics designers (read solid state) designs must... |
