| What's the best Phono preamp under $1000?? Many people look down upon the small Clearaudio Basic. But is a real bargain. The Bluenote phono 1 and 2 are also very good. | |
| Symphonic Line RG 14 Edition Integrated Amp Sorry for highjacking this topic a bit.There is a chanse I can buy a 2nd hand RG9 mk?? for a good price. The drawback is I cannot listen to it. My current amp is a modded Rotel RC980 pre and a Rotel RB1070. I know the Symphonic Line is a better am... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? 1) Peugeot 106GTi (170.000km on the counter)2) Toyata Corolla (my mothers car atm)3) Audi R8 or Koenigsegg CCX | |
| Symphonic Line RG 14 Edition Integrated Amp If I remeber correctly the difference between the RG14 and RG14 is the phono stage, the RG14 doen't have one I think. I would prefer the one without the phono stage since most TT lovers will buy a separate phono pre.I have been on the lookout for ... | |
| Owners of speakers by obscure companies chime in Zu speakers are hardly known outside the US I think. I have been to some hifi shows in the Netherlands and I am acitive on some Dutch forums but no one even mentioned Zu. | |
| Impulse speakers I have no idea if it is the same company. Keith Marshall made transmission line speakers in the 80's/90's but the switched to regular front ported sytems. He now has 2 models the Spirit 2 and Spirit 3. I was thinking of maybe trading in my Aria SE... | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? For me it would be my transport/DAC combo. It is a CEC TL51x with a Wadia 12 DAC. It may not be the worlds best and not the most expensive. But I think for me it is the best I will ever be able to afford. | |
| Stereo Sound cart rankings Hmmmm no mention of Jan allaerts. This list fails. | |
| EQ before Preamp? [quite]I agree that capacitors in the signal path can affect sound quality.[/quote]I am no engineer but wouldn't it be best if there are no capacitors in the signal path. At least my 'cheap' Rotel pre amp doesn't have have any. | |
| EQ before Preamp? @EldartfordThat is not entirely true I think. Most pro gear is even more expensive then some audiophile brands up to a certain point. A lot of pro gear has to sound good and be able to take a beating. That is why you almost never see real pro's us... | |
| EQ before Preamp? The best place for an EQ would be after the digital out from a CD tranport. I think the Behringer 2496 EQ has a onboard DAC?. I know some people who use that kind of gear together with a mic. to apply some room correction. The correct way of doing... | |
| AES/EBU cables- VD Masters vs Au24s I think spending a lot of money on digital cable is a bit of a waist. A Apogee Wyde Eye or Pure Note vanguard should be good enough for any system. | |
| Top ten tube preamps Prima Luna, prologue 3 is the best one I know. It doesn't have to much of a tuby sound and is normally priced and is well build. |
