| $1300 used amp to effortlessly drive VR4JR You can get a new Dussun V8i from highend palace for $1600. Should do the job. | |
| Bill Evans The Village Vanguard Sessions I second Weim Boy's call on the 3 disc set that recently came out of the whole Vilage Vanguard Sessions. This set encompaases both of the albums known as Live at the Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debby (maybe a few other tracks as well. What is a... | |
| What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers? VR4-JR's were the first speaker that really got me out of my Maggies. My living room is my listening room and Maggies are just not a possibility. I'm not sure I could go back to them after having the JR's because I have really gotten used to the r... | |
| Anyone into GOMEZ? Liquid Skin: great album. | |
| Waltz for Debby-Bill Evans Trio Great thread! Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but in the last twelve months the Complete Bill Evans Trio Live at Village Vanguard Sessions were released in a 3 disc set - newly remastered. This encomapsses Live at the Village Vanguaged and W... | |
| Speaker recomendations please I can unflinchingly recommend the Von schweikert VR-2 in your price range. It has a great bottom end but is really a great all around speaker. It is in your price range new (slightly discounted) and definitely used. | |
| Sound Quality or Convenience? Interesting Boa2: Converting my front end to a digial music server (hard drive and laptop) has definitely changed the way I listen and changed my system. I'm getting less and less fussy and am currently assembling what is probably the least expens... | |
| Not wasting my time on new Digital D edwards makes an interesting and compelling argument. I wonder what do you think the minimum number of channels is to do digital justice?I too have been very dissatisfied lately with some pretty expensive digital equipment. Currently I am listen... | |
| any words of wisdom for usb noise problems? I have used the Waveterminal for almost two years now. It a a great device but I am sure one f its short comings is that it draws its power from the PC via the USB cable. I have spent a lot of time listening to it as a DAC and it is phenomenally g... | |
| Optimizing my CD Source - what to do? I think you made a good decision. Unless you've got money to burn, I just don't think its worth spending more than 2K on a digital front end these days if your plans are to upgrade within the next 12-15 months. The pace of change is too great (may... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Guidocorona: I am certainly not one to get into the technical aspects of these things -- I am just not qualified -- Charles Altmann, the designer, has a whole page on the site devoted to vibration that would be worth reading if you are interested.... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Another DAC to add to the Reference list going here: The Altmann Attraction DAC. Link below:http://www.mother-of-tone.com/attraction.htmProbably the most well balanced, organic presentation of redbook I have heard. | |
| Von scheikert VR4jr what are you using ? I agree with Jgiacalo on the break-in, base loading, and biwiring issues. I have used a few differnt amps with my JR's which I have had for 1.5 years now. I have used a Pass X250.5, a Forte 4A, a McIntosh 6900 integrated, and am currently using a ... | |
| Please recommend CD player w/volume under $5500 I don't doubt that some CD driect to amp systems can sound great, but in my experience I have always preferred a quality preamp in the chain. | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM Has anyone else spent time listening to the U24 as a D/A converter? I have taken USB out of my laptop into the U24 and then ran left and right RCA's out of the U24 into my preamp. This little box has no right sounding as good as it does given how ... |
