| Need help choosing a monitor You can't go wrong with the Talon Khite. Another excellent monitor is the B&W Nautilus 805. Either pair should make you happy, but expect a long break-in period with both.Good luck! | |
| Sim Moon cd player Opninons Get an Electrocompaniet 24/192 player. That's the way to go for an all in one player. | |
| Do video processors really work on rear proj. tv's If you want to improve the quality of non-HD, try a better DVD player with true progressive output. $3300.00 for a $5000.00 set is probably overkill. However, Runco is making scalers that cost less, and I have seen marginal improvement with some o... | |
| Basis 1400/benz/rb250/300 I've got the Basis 1400 with RB300 and a Benz Micro ACE low output. Life is beautiful! I love listening to my vinyl. I'm using an Electrocompaniet Phono stage, and it drives the low output Benz ACE exceptionally well. Total blackness in the backro... | |
| Two systems? Why? Tubegroover................Like yourself, I love two channel. When I want to listen to music, I go to my two channel system. Fortunately, in my home, I have enough space so that I can have a dedicated music room set up quite nicely, and a dedicate... | |
| Songs & Artists NEVER HEARD on the RADIO? I rarely ever hear Badfinger anymore. Emmit Rhodes is forgotten. Bob Seger now lives in your local Kareoke bar. Ritchie Blackmore's new band, "Blackmore's Night" is another. Here's a guy who contributed so much to FM in the 70's. Now he's performi... | |
| Khorus owners...which speaker cables? I'm driving a pair of Peregrines with an Electrocompaniet AW250 DMB. Between them is a pair of Stealth Silver Triple Wrapped. The results have been excellent. This was my first time with silver and was expecting a drop in lower frequency performan... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck and Space Arm- what cartridge I don't know what phono preamp you've got, but the Benz Micro ACE low output is excellent! I love mine. I tried a few others and when I hooked up the Benz and took her for a drive, I never looked back. I also used to own the table/arm you're using... | |
| Progressive DVD? I totally agree with the above post. If DVD-A is not important, save some bucks on a Pioneer Elite DV-37. They're coming down in price and what a picture! I love mine. It's built pretty damn well too. Kind of in the PD-65 vein. | |
| Best Budget SCD-777ES DAC? Get a Perpetual Technologies P3A on A-Gon. You should be able to get one for under a grand. | |
| Audiophiles - Your Favorite Food?? For great Italian food in South Jersey, Giamirello's on Haddon Avenue next to the town of Haddonfield is Northern and Southern Italian food par excellence! Not cheap, but then neither was the new Turntable, Tonearm, Cartridge and Phono preamp I pu... | |
| Cd Player shootout ; which is the best of the best Hey Tekunda,Remember to run balanced out of the CD player into the preamp. If cost is no object, get something nice from Nordost. Or better yet, a pair of EC's own balanced cables. If cost is an object, you would certainly do well to get a pair ro... | |
| How hard is it to admit you bought bad gear? It is not in any way difficult for me to admit I bought a piece of crap. BUT.................it is hard to say what brand because I don't like putting down a specific product just because it didn't work in my system. I have to admit that 95% of my... | |
| Cd Player shootout ; which is the best of the best The Electrocompaniet is my favorite player regardless of cost. I would liken it's build quality to a Rolls Royce- Adequate! Meaning anything less................etc.As far as sound quality, I am extremely impressed. Even a vinyl lover has got to r... |
