| using ipod as source and very low output Tvad,Do you have the volume on the iPod turned all the way up? Is the music on the iPod encoded using the Apple lossless encoder? | |
| DAC's for the money? I have had an A3 24 for a year and a half now (I use it with a CAL Delta transport). I really like, and would definately buy it again. It's hard to go wrong at the current used price. | |
| Snell Sub 550?? Any experience? I have had a Snell Sub 550 for about ten years, and added a second one a couple of years ago. One thing to keep in mind is that the subwoofer is passive, so you need a separate amp and crossover. The performance is okay. It's a sealed box design, ... | |
| Help I need a new cartridge and stylus Listener57,I purchased a Shure V15VxMR from Jack's Music Factory two weeks ago. It was $199 including shipping. I ordered it on a Saturday and received it the following Thursday. It came in a sealed box and works fine. It seemed too good to be tru... | |
| Moving on after Audio Research LS2 Audio Research used to offer a remote control upgrade for the LS2. If you like your LS2 and want to keep it, give them a call and see if they still offer this upgrade. If I remember correctly, it used to cost around $700. | |
| Anyone have experience with ElectroHarmonix tubes? I retubed my ARC LS-15 with four EH 6922's (gold version). I'm a little surprised, but they sound much better than the Sovteks and JAN Phillips tubes that I had used previously. | |
| Dish satelite vs Cable quality? I switched from digital cable to the Dish Network about a year ago. The picture quality is about the same, maybe slightly better. I have not tried the high definition programming. With the Dish Network, you have to add a second satellite dish (and... | |
| Goldring 1042 or Rega Exact Dougdecan - Thanks for the response. Upgrading my turntable is not so much a funding issue as it is the fact that I have a wife. For the most part, I try to keep my audio purchases under the radar anymore (i.e., few hundred dollars here or there).... | |
| Goldring 1042 or Rega Exact Bombaywalla - thanks for the response. I have a Rega RB300 tonearm on my Planar 3. My Planar 3 is stock and about four years old. | |
| Vandersteen VCC-1 I had, until about six months ago, a pair of Vandersteen 2 CE's and a VCC-1. I was and still am a big Vandersteen fan. However, I was never very impressed with the VCC-1. Dialogue seemed to be glued to the speaker and the presentation seemed rathe... | |
| Why is balance in my pre inaccurate at low levels? Your preamp probably functions as designed. My Counterpoint preamp behaves similarly at low volumes. Here's some info from the FAQ section at the Alta Vista Audio web site regarding this "feature" of volume pots (and high gain tube preamps).Q: Whe... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" Seether's latest CD "Disclaimer". If I remember correctly, I purchased it at Target. | |
| ++++StereoPhile Class A components+++++ Zaikesman - sorry for the delay in responding to your post. I was merely responding to how I use Stereophile's recommended components list. There are other factors that influence my buying decisions, but I do use Stereophile's recommended componen... | |
| ++++StereoPhile Class A components+++++ Stereophile's rating system is helpful in shortening your list of equipment to audition. I have noticed (along with everyone else) some class rating "expansion". A few (okay, maybe it is several) of the Class A rated items would have been Class B ... | |
| Need help choosing new speakers Nice system. Have you thought about adding a second subwoofer? I have a pair of B&W CDM 1NT's I run with two Snell subwoofers. I mainly listen to rock music and I think the setup sounds great. You might want to play with the crossover setting ... |
