| 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 ... | |
| advice or suggestions for beginner on cables Would it make sense for Pharsyd to buy less expensive cable for the rear speakers, so he could spend more for the fronts? I'd look in to some used Cardas Crosslink or Twinlink. | |
| Musical Fidelity A324 DAC as good as Tellig says? Don't let Tellig convince you that the grass is greener. He has a habit of convincing readers that the ordinary is extrordinary. The MF might be a improvement over the 23's DAC, but the 23 is really good alone and there are lots good upgrade optio... | |
| shielded cables & IC's or not? I agree with Bruiserwy. Don't let living in a large city stop you from getting unshielded. IME RFI has to be quite severe before shielded IC sounds better than unshielded. If I were in your shoes I'd just get used, unshielded IC. In the unlikely e... | |
| Keep my XA7ES, or get a DVP-S9000ES for CD play? No, I wouldn't change either. The 9000 is nice, but for CD, it really isn't that good. |
