| RCA Out To AES/EBU In To DAC Wrong pinout. You need a RCA to AES/EBU digital cable. | |
| Insignia 6.5" Two Way Out of curiosity I bought a pair. With the 5% Father's Day discount and $25 in Reward Certicates I got them for $20 out the door. For grins I put them in my main system ($50k at retail) and they sound pretty good at moderate levels. The appearance... | |
| Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective The term that riles be the most is "blows away". Talk about hyperbole. Most of the top components are simply too good be be "blown away". Regards,Wendell | |
| Watt Puppy 8 vs. Zu Definition I heard the 8s at HE2006 this month. They sounded good but didn't really disappear. For some reason Wilson didn't acoutically treat the room except for behind the speakers. The Sophia IIs in the Brooks Berdan room were, in my opinion, much better ... | |
| is a rsl a rogers speaker? No. Rogersound Labs was a Southern California based speaker manufacturer that manufactured pretty good mid-fi speakers. They then got into equipment sales, expanded too fast, took on too much debt and went under. They were not related to Rogers. | |
| EAR 834P or Cary PH302 I've owned both and both are excellent. I recommend the Cary. | |
| Belles 400 & GR8 Information Contact David Belles at Power Modules. You can get contact info from the manufacturer's list here at Audiogon. | |
| Phono preamps The new Parasound Zphono retails for $150 and is better than the original PPH-100 plus you can switch between MM and MC with the push of a button instead of opening it up and moving jumpers. It's the best cheap phono stage I've heard. | |
| Cayin A88 sells in one day "If it beats the JOR you will be sure to hear about it."It will because you've already decided, based on numerous previous posts, that Cayin is the Holy Grail. You seem to be fixated on them. Enjoy. | |
| just setting up for the FIRST time... Get the speakers out into the room. Don't position them on either side of the entertainment center. Those speakers don't produce low bass under any condition but that's not really important. They can still sound quite musical.Good luck,Wendell | |
| Using a phonstage to by pass a preamp ? Sure, if it has a volume control built in or you have level controls on the amp. | |
| AudioQuest OptiLInk Pro 2 question Very few components have ST connections. You can't use theAT&T cable without them. Buy a good quality Toslink cable. | |
| Can I get some Love for Thiel CS 2.2s? A good tube amp (Music Reference for example) with, at least, 100 watts, is a good match. Thiels detail and be a bit bright and can be tamed with the right amp without sacrificing that detail. | |
| Where to sell 78RPM records? I have to agree. Classical and opera 78s have little if any value. On the other hand, jazz, rock and blues can be worth good money. | |
| help with a lush 50 watt+ amp AES SixPacs. 50 watts Triode, zero feedback. |
