| Forsell Statement Who and what are they? Could be the best transport ever made. I believe the CD rides on a cushion of air. A friend of mine had one for awhile. And yes, it is massive. An incredible piece of equipment.http://www.ultimate-sonics.com/Forsell.htm | |
| What is the best transport for Audio Logic DAC? I'm using the CEC TL-1X. I think many others think it's a good match. | |
| New Snells vs Old Snells I spoke to the tech guy at Snell a few months ago. He hasB Minors, as I do. He said he didn't see any reason to get something new in the line.I've heard that the Coincident Total Eclipse might be the way to go, if you like the Snell B's, though I'... | |
| Snell type B:any upgrades? These ARE great speakers. I am not the original owner, but have owned them for about two years. I upgraded the binding posts, only because the crappy plastic ones they use had become stripped. When I had them changed out, I saw that the internal w... | |
| Very best in world music - recommendations? "Talking Timbuktu," Ry Cooder and Ali Farka Toure. Great music and excellent sonics. Coincidentally, I was just listening to it, when I took a break to check audiogon and caught your thread. | |
| Best cartridge under $450? No Grados please Dynavector 10x5, no doubt. An incredible value. I can't believe anything touches it at the price, or even higher. | |
| Comments of recommendations on Xmas music My favorite is still The Chipmunks. | |
| Suggested speakers to take the place of Dunlavy If you're looking for something that sounds similar to the Dunlavy's, try and audition Snell or Coincident speakers.All of the speakers recommended by others are excellent, but I think these two sound more like the Dunlavy's. | |
| How important is the driver tube in a tubed amp? Yes, the driver tube can make a significant difference. | |
| What seperates "hi-fi" from "mid-fi" in cdp's? True, Marco, BUT . . . I'm really using it as a transport and running it through a DAC and, with wires and iso devices, it costs about 3x the player, used. No doubt you can get a real nice player in the mid-fi range, but it's also true the more yo... | |
| What seperates "hi-fi" from "mid-fi" in cdp's? $$$$$$$ | |
| Preamp with remote under $1000 If you're patient, you can pick up a VTL 2.5 for about $750, used. Incredible bang for the buck. | |
| what to do before you get the vpi record cleaner? Another simple option is Orbitrac. I think it's sold by Music Direct (amusicdirect.com) | |
| what to do before you get the vpi record cleaner? I have a VPI and Disc Doctor stuff. The Disc Doctor stuff works just as good, maybe even better than the VPI. Twl is right -- the only real difference is drying. With Disc Doctor, you let them dry in a dish rack (really! ask the Disc Doctor himsel... | |
