| Insurance Very worthwhile thread. Thanks to everyone for your comments thus far. | |
| Any opinions re UK forums Vs. Audiogon? I should add, if you check out the threads above you will have to do a little slogging to find the gold. As in any online forum it has to be found amidst the grit and the pyrite. But some posts here are absolutely hilarious, and some brilliantly p... | |
| Any opinions re UK forums Vs. Audiogon? For a good idea of why is worthwhile to check out pinkfishmedia.net as well as Audiogon, check the following links. Of course it is not strictly audio, but some wonderful posts.http://www.pinkfishmedia.net/forum/showthread.php?t=21380http://www.pi... | |
| CD player modifications If no one gives you a response here, try the DIY forums of both the pinkfishmedia.net and head-fi.org sites. I'm sure there is something fun and very worthwhile you can try, I am unfortunately not the man to guide you. I feel proud if I plug in my... | |
| linn5103/EAD Ovation/Krell5.1 "...plus the automated mic setup is the bomb!!!"Accent, you should know that if you are thinking about a 5103, in contrast to Cytocycle's statement about the EAD, the 5103's setup is gruesome, and should be attempted only by a masochist or a Linn ... | |
| linn5103/EAD Ovation/Krell5.1 The AV 5103 is simply the best by far of these three if you are going to use it as a two-channel preamp. As for home theater, I can't comment. It is possible that the Krell and the EAD may have some newer video processing features than the AV 5103... | |
| The best mid priced Grado In your opinion? Grado what? They make cartridges, headphones, headphone amps, etc. | |
| linn artikulat vs espek Very interesting, thanks for the response. I am going to be auditioning some active Espeks in a couple of configurations. First with a Chakra 6100 driving them, and second with two Chakra 2200's combined with a C2100. I was unaware you could use a... | |
| Interconnect upgrade eminent? If you are basically happy, keep your current system cables. Then use the money saved to buy a Zu Mobius replacement cable for your HD 650's. If you are into headphones, this is a cable that truly makes a big difference. | |
| Late Night Listening When Wife Wants Music OFF Wow, a little too broadly stated for me to address in much detail. Give a price range and people can be a bit more helpful. But if absolute silence for your partner is required, in the low to moderate price range I would recommend an ipod with Ety... | |
| Any opinions re UK forums Vs. Audiogon? But Simon, Linn is great. :) At least it is far more to my liking than almost all other gear I've heard so far in the same price bracket. That is of course my taste, and as they say, there is no accounting for it. But seriously, I don't think the ... | |
| Adjusting Linn Keltiks Bite the bullet and call a pro. You need to have a good Linn dealer do the speaker placement for you. You have great speakers, give them a chance to shine. | |
| Which Vivaldi Four Seasons CD to buy??? I'm not so sure about Chesky and classical music. Always think performance quality first, then recording quality a decided second. If you can get them both together then it is gold, but Chesky simply can't afford to record the best classical music... | |
| Unusually good power cord for the money? If I may ask, do you already have dedicated lines? If so, fine, worry about a power cord so long as you don't spend too much (I like French_fries' advice). But if you don't have dedicated lines, don't even think about doing anything else related t... | |
| Is anyone willing to entertain the idea "Not surprisingly, I find the differences in cables and interconnects are more subtle. For that reason, along with others, I am not likely ever to be a promising victim for the wire bandits."Just to clarify: there ARE some cable differences I can ... |
