| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? From your description of the Linns is sounds like you listen to CDs. If you listen to LP, you may be dissapointed in comparison to other speakers (i was) that have more realistic dimensions to their sound, and a more extended frequency range. I ca... | |
| Rega Planet 2000 vs Classe CDP.3 Don't be silly. The .3 is very easy to find (w/ pictures!):http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl?dgtlplay&1031369617Your post is an ad in its entirety, not just the offer. You should copy and paste if and when you try to sell it, legitimately.... | |
| RB300 tonearm cable upgrade? Personally, if the cost is $200-300, I would trade for a better TT. The tonearm is already the best thing about Planar 3, and blah, blah, blah. But I am not clued in on the practical side of your potential upgrade, so I take my opinion for whateve... | |
| Cables 101 for a beginner Do the fatwyre library, Dennis, and the interconnect and speaker cables in one shot. When you get the chance to experiment you may come to find that there are more misnomers than rules of thumb. | |
| Is it too mismatched to pair Maggie 1.6 & NAD 370? I think Ake already knows the answer to his questions. But why not a pair of Maggies further down the model line? Even with your CDP, you are spinning your wheels some. | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? Tell me about my preconceptions. What is my reference? And tell me about the 'circumstances' under which I heard them. How were they set up? Because I am wondering how Blackie and I ended with the same conclusions under different, unkown-to-you 'c... | |
| Stereo or Home Theater? HT is the bastard sibling of stereo music. Personally, I don't find the DVD + rear projector to make for pleasant viewing, I am not in to film like I am in to music, and i just get bored watching movies at home. So I frequent the three great(one s... | |
| Rega Planet 2000 vs Classe CDP.3 What the hell is this? Digital in the anolog is not that big of a deal, but now and ad?! Faux Pas | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? At least regarding the current, new speakers my experience has been the same as Blackie's. I like the Ninkas, but they are closed in, darker, less detailed and more colored than the CDM-7se. I also found that 7se was superior to the Paradigm 100s ... | |
| Integrated Amp for Girlfriend? I am broken record on this int., but you can not go wrong with a used LFD Mistral, about $500. Very attractive and sweet sounding. | |
| Why Not Semi-Automatic Style Turntables? Probably for a similar reason that high-end cd changers are rare and many preamps are made w/out remotes. I wouldn't pay extra for a lift. I don't have a remote. | |
| How to keep housemates from using your rig? "This, so far, is my best idea..."No, the best was starting this thread. Your roomies don't need to turn it on to break it. Get it out until you get them out. | |
| Is the "red dot" the same as R or L? 'Left' and 'Right' only really matters for the source (output) and the speakers(input). Any in-between components just need an indicator on the jack so you can match the input signal to the output signal. For example, on my preamp, I switch the L/... | |
| turntable recommendation Marakanetz - how does the Scout sound? I have been curious, but too few seem to know.I am pleased with my NA Interspace and find it to be a good value, but i am saying this w/out really knowing your budget. | |
| SACD finally taking-off? non-classical listeners "Is the purchase of a dual SACD/DVD-A player foolish, or the only answer?"I don't think so. Someday the SACD catalog may be large enough to invest in an SACD player, but even with the Stones it is too puny for me. The current SACD players are not ... |
