| iTunes error messages during rip My guess would be that the transport mechanism in your computer is malfunctioning, or simply ultra-sensitive.First I would try giving the CDs a thorough cleaning, even if they look ok. If the transport is exteremely sensitive, this might help. If ... | |
| Great tube DAC's with volume control? So are there no others? :( | |
| Listening Chairs Personally, I would avoid using a chair especially made for HT. I'd rather put my money toward build quality than toward gold-plated cup holders! | |
| Your budget - $20K - best system for a small room Here's my suggestion, but keep in mid it's coming from a newbie!This assumes you've got a fairly small room, not more than 15x20 or so.Speakers: JM Lab Micro UtopiaCDP: Audio Aero Capitole (with preamp section)Amps: Electrocompaniet AW220 monobloc... | |
| Krell KAV-280cd owners in the SF Bay Area? Hi there,Thanks very much for the info! | |
| Best Player or DAC: ceiling $3k I put my vote in for the Resolution Opus 21 as well. I've heard it quite a bit over the last month or so, and geez, it sounds great! It's the best thing I've heard under $10,000. But give the Electrocompaniet EMC-1up a fair shot too. It's also a g... | |
| Warmest solid-state integrated for under $2k I know this isn't relevant to the topic anymore, but... I did the audition today and Silverline won over Joseph. The sound was warmer, the soundstage was bigger. The detail was a bit better on the Josephs. I was razzed pretty hardcore by the sales... | |
| Warmest solid-state integrated for under $2k Great, Howard. I actually have a rehearsal with the Walnut Creek Opera at 8, so I'm going to have to jet right after the audition, unless the choice is so easy that I get done early. We'll see. I have time reserved until closing at 6:30. Anyway, I... | |
| Warmest solid-state integrated for under $2k On Wednesday July 6th, 4:15pm, at Music Lover's Audio in Berkeley, the shootout begins! I tentatively purchased a demo model Silverline SR-15 from Silent Lucidity in San Francisco (best dealer in the world, IMHO), and I'm bringing it to Music Love... | |
| Warmest solid-state integrated for under $2k Hi Harrold,Well, here's the deal. Yesterday, I heard the Joseph Audio monitors again, and I really loved them. I realized that I can buy them new for not much more than I was planning on spending on a used speaker, and I'd really like to start bui... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Well, there's always the JM Utopia Be. Perfect speaker, but who wants perfection? Perfection is cold. The best purveyor of music is the Sonus Faber Amati Homage. Oh. My. Gosh. Give me this. Anyone have a pair they want to give me for $5,000? :) | |
| Best in depth of soundstaging and ease for 2k? Do you know of anywhere I might be able to hear a pair of the Sehrings? I'm very intrigued, but I need to hear them before making any decisions. I'm in the San Francisco area. | |
| Best in depth of soundstaging and ease for 2k? Thanks for the contuining advice everyone. Today, I heard the JM Lab Electra 926 and the Silverline Sonatina Mk II from a dealer in San Francisco. I liked the JM Lab, but I LOVED the Silverline. It's not as fast, accurate, or detailed as the JM La... | |
| Is this rude? Friends,Thank you all again for your input. I want to rephrase my first question, because I think I misrepresented the issue by using the word "pretend". My fault.1. I would absolutely never ask anyone to set up a system for me, let alone uncrate ... | |
| Best in depth of soundstaging and ease for 2k? To Boa2,Thank you so much for your advice, I really appreciate it (same goes for everyone else). I see that there's someone selling the Silverline Sonata II's for about $1700. It seems like that might be a better way to go than the SR-17s (no one ... |
