| Help me with this choice Paradigm, JM Lab, Sonus I own JM Labs speakers, though I have never been a fan of the Electra 906 specifically. I am not at all surprised you preferred the Paradigms. The signature series stuff I have heard has been impressive. If it weren't for the (in the case of the S... | |
| Linn LP 12 Problem....... "I can hear the peanut gallery now, shouting 'Horrors, NO!'"I honestly don't know who would care to object to your solution. It is not as though Linn has a proposed solution of their own for fixing the board - as far as I know they haven't support... | |
| Linn Unidisk vs Meridian G91/98 vs Marantz DV9500 "have liked what I've read about the Linn's flexibility but fear it may be outperformed sonically and in video by the Meridian or even equalled by the Marantz at around only 40% of the cost."I am not sure which Unidisk you are talking about - SC, ... | |
| CD player in the $2,500 to $5,000 range "Yes, I ... have owned over 35 sources in the past 2 years. These are my personal favorites."711smilin:If you are so inclined, and haven't done so elsewhere, would you please list the 35 plus sources you have owned in the past two years, and if yo... | |
| CD player in the $2,500 to $5,000 range Audition a Linn Ikemi as well as an Esoteric DV 50 (a universal player). The Esoteric is a little out of your price range new, but on demo it should fall below 5k. Very different sounds, both excellent players. I love the Ikemi on redbook, and the... | |
| Is my wireless setup as good as a decent CD Player Well, if you like it, then it is good enough. As to whether it is as good as a particular CD player is something you can only answer by doing the straight A/B comparison with the CD player you have in mind.Actually, I would first check out an A/B ... | |
| Can i do better for $700 than Grado RS-1? Robm321:I actually have owned two pair of HD 650's so far, as well as a pair of HD 580's, and I am quite familiar with their line. I am less familiar with Grado, but I have heard several of their cans (but only as high in the line as the SR 325) w... | |
| Sonus Faber V's Sonus Faber Given your room size, I think it is becomes a very straight forward choice - Guarneris and REL. I envy you - it will be a very nice combination. | |
| Beware of Sony and Rootkits If youre a little guy whose computer has already been corrupted by Sonys malfeasance, it is a hollow victory to say the least. | |
| Can i do better for $700 than Grado RS-1? Too much to spend on this headphone, unless you know you like it better than the Sennheiser HD 650, which can be had new on ebay for around $300 (list $499). For what it is worth, most people (by a fairly wide margin) who are into headphones prefe... | |
| Sonus Faber V's Sonus Faber Interesting, I would say just the opposite of Branimir, but I have not done the specific A/B comparison. It may largely depend on your music preferences and certainly on room size. You will get more bass out of the Cremonas in a larger room than o... | |
| what's wrong Arcam FMJ cd33? Having heard this player, I don't think there is anything wrong with it at all. I have yet to hear anything I like better in its price range, though I readily admit digital source preferences are quite individual. But rob music of its life? No way... | |
| Linn LP 12 Problem....... One more thing, talk to your dealer about the Lingo upgrade. If you are buying used you will need the kit that attatches to the table - new power button, etc. I am not sure how all this works on the used market because I bought mine on demo. If yo... | |
| Linn LP 12 Problem....... First question is, do you have the Cirkus bearing upgrade in your table? If not, I'm not sure you want to spend the money for a Lingo, but others may differ. I have seen the Lingo go for from $550 to $1200 used depending on type (half size Lingo I... | |
| Linn LP 12 Problem....... They don't make Valhalla power suplies any more, and haven't for around 10 years. Please don't buy a replacement Valhalla at $500 to $700. I am sure they can be had for around half to a third of this. In fact if you are having trouble finding one ... |
