| Best Integrated Amplifier Made at the USA Check out the Ayre AX-7e. Even with the price increase, this integrated is still a bargain. | |
| Best alternative CDs of 2007 This has been a good thread, as it's guided some music purcahses of mine:Rilo Kiley "Under the Black Light" - This release is what it is: brilliantly executed alterna-pop. In that context, I cannot fault a single track. Iron & Wine "The Shephe... | |
| A Newbie's First Week Impressions -- Vinyl Rules P.S. Do you guys have any recommendations for record cleaning and ways to reduce static? I've already got a humidifer running...Back to your original question...Go get yourself a pint of Disc Doctor Miracle Record cleaner ($25.00) and Size A wet s... | |
| Green Mountain Audio Eos I just learned from Roy that GMA will be sending the first shipment of the Eos line out next week! Also, Roy will be sending a pair of Eos II to a reviewer in a couple of weeks or so (after full break-in). I'm not going to steal Roy's (or the pub... | |
| Designer Hall of Fame This thread would be much more interesting if you had to say exactly why this designer should be included in this list. And saying, "...becasue they have made (IMHO) great amps for years..." shouldn't count. | |
| Looking for the "better sub" I would rather use (2) $1000 subs than (1) $2000 sub. | |
| Best Speakers to match Ayre V-1xe and K-1xe You may want to consider a speaker design that compliments Ayre's design philosophies:Conventional designs use negative feedback to compare the output signal to the input signal, which introduces time-domain errors and other artifacts. In contrast... | |
| Denon DL 103 vs DL 103R Grimace,Some phono stages aren't designed to provide sufficient gain for a moving coil (MC) cartridge (or they may be able provide sufficient gain, but it pushes the phono stage to the uppper end of its limits). A step-up transformer (SUT) can hel... | |
| Music for toddlers and parents? Laurie BerknerAlthough, my 5 year old is really into Ryan Adams as well. About a year or so ago, I was out driving with him and I popped in Ryan Adam's "Gold". I can hear him singing along to "New York, New York". I didn't even know he knew the so... | |
| Best protractor for aligning to cantilever So who can etch something (and drill a hole in) a piece of glass mirror for us? Let's make a 12" round mirror and use the space to really make something useful. :) | |
| Best protractor for aligning to cantilever If you're trying to sight down the centerline of an alignment grid, having two images makes it possible to get precisely lined up. The printed line and its reflection are either directly on top of each other or they're not. This degree of precisio... | |
| Best protractor for aligning to cantilever Here are my issues with the Turntable Basics protractor:1) The Turntable Basics protractor is made from a 3mm thick piece of Plexiglas with the mirrored surface on the underside. The silk-screening is on the top of the Plexiglas. This 3mm gap betw... | |
| On the Fence with Analog Vs. Digital. Need Help Do not think you need to spend a small fortune to get into vinyl. Sure, I have (probably) $8k+ sunk into my analog front end, I didn't start out that way. My first table was a Music Hall MMF-5, a Hunt brush, and a couple of bottles of Last.My reco... | |
| Best protractor for aligning to cantilever If you're using a Grado with a plastic body, I suspect (but I could be wrong) that you'd rather not drop the coin required for a WallyTractor.Basic cartridge alignment isn't rocket science...it's actually 7th or 8th grade geometry. If you have a s... | |
| Obscure companies making excellent speakers? Another one for the list...while I've not heard any of Danny's work, I'm in love with the looks of the GR Research OB-7. I would be interested in hearing a pair that has been tweeked by Response Audio and with cabnets built by Custom Concepts. |
