| Separates vs. Integrated Except for the cost, I don't understand the 'no interconnect' as a plus for integrated amps. Is there nothing connecting the sections within a one-chassis? And there are those who rewire the inside of thier components with wire from ICs. Its an in... | |
| MM or MC cartridge..... No, aside from the victim, Mark, who has a lot on his mind, I thought the rant was cool. I just meant that you could stand to have a bank of standard answers saved on your computer. The 'you fooled me' refers "we"'s prolific posting. All my best p... | |
| Are your used items selling? "Stay with reputible gear with good reviews and most will want to try it to."True, but I have found those positive reviews to be good for only so long. The Mk II Effect is more powerful. | |
| MM or MC cartridge..... "Sorry to be a little rough on you, but some of us that answer in depth, can't be writing dissertations 6 times a day."You fooled me. But, save-copy-paste might be worth considering. | |
| Are your used items selling? I am have been selling a number of items lately. My TT sold in within 15 minutes. Cables, phono pre, and cleaner within a day. My CDP is having a tougher time, 2 weeks now. It is tough to say what causes the discrepancies. Stereophile et al. buzz ... | |
| Nottingham Space Deck Table...... I had the Interspace with DV20x and Ol-250. The three worked very well together, objectively and sonically. | |
| Dedicated Audio Room Plans.... Try the Cardas website for some dimensions, and don't forget to allocate space for the mini-fridge. Congratulations on your new house. | |
| single disc sacd player for 300 used Better sound than the Planet for $300? I would suggest stealing maybe a 9000es. It is probably a step up from the Rega. I hate to be one of those people who suggest what they have for sale, but RCD-971 is quite adept to metal music. Good bass, a l... | |
| Where are you at on the curve?... "To me there is a BIG difference between a large soundstage and recreating the soundstage of the venue"I heard that. With the better systems I have heard, I am not conscious of any soundstage boundary. But I digress. | |
| high-end vs. ultra high-end amplifiers I am just taking a stab at this, but I think Boulder et al. targets a different (sub)market than the big boys, which affects their respective product goals. Similar to what has already been said, the big boys cater more to the casual enthusiast, e... | |
| Going SACD or analog? iloxi, let us know what you decide. | |
| Where are you at on the curve?... UNDER CONSTRUCTION: I am keeping my speakers and gutting everything else. I hope that will move me up the curve, but I won't be near the top until I start my career, i.e. getting paid. | |
| Going SACD or analog? There is no doubt in my mind that a TT rig will sound better at your price point. There is also a ton more records out there than SACDs. The downside to a TT is that its more of a pain in the ass, and a larger investment in time, money and attenti... | |
| link between speaker and floor I don't know what you mean by best, but spikes + discs have worked well for me. | |
| Effective length of Well Tempered Classic? I believe it is the same as the Rega arms, 239mm. |
