| What cables would you recommend? I don't what your goals are, but I'd wait to see how the preamp affects the sound before comtemplating cables. As a less mature addition, I prefer a more detailed oriented, less colorful IC between the CDP and a tube Pre. | |
| A to D to SACD to A: A Natural Progression? You could chunk the jewel boxes and just store the discs in those case-logic type books. | |
| How much to spend on analog to get a decent sytem? Yeah, I'd say th P25 is the lowest of what Could be comparable to those CDPs, while the Spacedeck is better than those CDPs.-also coming from a 0101 world. I would like to hear from an analog-is-life-itself jackass, though. (That might stop them). | |
| Classe owners...Please help with speaker selection Hales and B&W. | |
| Tube Preamp and SS Amps - How? Well, there's that the ouput impedence of the pre should be 100 times less than the input of the amp thing. Rule of thumb stuff, so they say. Its not uncommon to run in to an impedence mismatch between a tube pre and a solid amp, so set your calcu... | |
| Name three of yours the most favourite drummers I 'nominate'-Akai MPC2000XL-Chris Vrenna-Chris KinzyThree different personalities, but all are little gems. When do we decide who gets the Drummy? | |
| The Worst Speaker you have ever heard. At least Al can pronounce the word "nuclear"..."We had a laugh about that in Org Chemistry class...nerds.With a frequency response like the Rocky Mountains, the worst speaker of all time are Bose 501s. Direct/reflecting can't help either, which re... | |
| Review: Rega Planar-25 Turntable I really dig the Rega TT styling (where's my martini?). Since the recent price drop on the P25, its more on par with its performance/price - compared to the Nottingham Interspace, anyways. The Regas are damn cool, though. | |
| upgrade question... This unit's performance is outstanding for it's retail price of $1500."Pleaselet us know what ~$1500 players you compared to the Sony and detail the comparisons."This unit should easily be at least sonically equal, if not superior, to those units ... | |
| DJ vs. Audiophiles Adding to Twl's post, DJ carts more often have spherical styili, which ist nicht so gut for the boom-boom, shaka-shaka we philes so deserve. | |
| What happened to the Hales Design group? Woodman, your system is so much like mine, its a little freaky. Do you by chance know a source for the grill cloth or drivers?BTW - what happened to Hales is detailed on the Stereophile site, I believe. Basically, what Woodman said. \ | |
| Compiling info for Audiogon FAQ's I would like the FAQ to be based on concrete facts rather than popularity (if everyone thinks it is, then its true?). The FAQ could be divided in to two sections: one on terms and basic, undisputed technicals and facts, and one section of links to... | |
| Tube amp / SS pre or SS amp / Tube pre? There is not a prevailing opinion on SS-Tube combinations. I seen a fair share discussion on this, and what combination prevails is the opposite of what prevailed before. Cases can be made for any combo, but the best combo at the ultimate price, i... | |
| Cary slp 88 with McCormack dna 125? Check the output and input impedences...-Jade4u | |
| Pro or hi-fi amp, which one would you choose? Interesting posts, Sean. Thanks. |
