| Opting for no CDP -- only to regret it? I just use digital out off my DVD player and send it to my DAC for the times I just want to pop in a CD. Most of the time I play it off my computer, ripping it first. | |
| Tightening RCA Interconnect ends Do you mean that the sleeves are loose when slipped over the RCA jacks on the amp/preamp? This has happened to me with expensive interconnects, but my solution is the same as with cheap ones: a needle-nose pliers and gently increasing inward press... | |
| I've strayed.... You don't mention what speakers you have. Any reason?Anyhow, try to be sure there is a significant difference between each speaker and the front and side walls. The same distance will give an unsmooth bass response. A difference of 40% is recommen... | |
| FM Radio is dead ....R.I.P At what point do you think FM radio will be replaced by internet in cars? I imagine that is a long way off. I wonder how much more energy is required for all the data centers required to send each individual listener their own personal music strea... | |
| Exemplar vs Modwright Oppo 95 Mods? Oh, and the comparison was blind, and a show of hands was made before discussing. | |
| Exemplar vs Modwright Oppo 95 Mods? Sorry. Misread the thread. This was stock against Exemplar. In doing the statistics, I had just assumed that the 33% that couldn't hear the difference just didn't have good hearing, but that is not fair. No difference could be as valid a conclusio... | |
| Exemplar vs Modwright Oppo 95 Mods? A comparison was performed at the Pacific Northwest Audio Society meeting. Among those who could hear the difference (around 2/3), I would say about 2/3 preferred the stock unit in the club's system. | |
| Need help with an amp for the Gallo 3.1s I also tried a variety of amps and felt that the bass amp was a necessary improvement. | |
| Your gonna like this.... Regarding piracy - someone should set up a website for musicians for people to pay voluntary royalties - something like paypal - anonymous contributions. It wouldn't take much for the artist to get their share - then you have "radio" with royaltie... | |
| Logitech Transporter with 2 stereos Just get a logitech touch and if you feel that you need it, add an external DAC. | |
| Minimus 7 I have the Xover modification kits, bought on ebay. Just haven't taken the time to do it yet. Glad to hear they sound good, Peter | |
| Speaker suggestions at around $30k Ditto on the TAD. I've heard them at many shows, and most all the time I am left fantasizing about having them! | |
| alternative to maggies? I wonder if you got some plastic mesh (google on "Deer Fencing"), about 1"-square, and put it on the front side of your Maggies, PLUS got the scratching post mentioned above, whether that would do the trick. Rub some cat nip on the post. The deer ... | |
| Any "Deadhead" audiophiles out there to help For reference, may want to check out the new Parasound JC-2 Bypass preamplifier with HT passthrough. | |
| Any "Deadhead" audiophiles out there to help I'm thinking something like this:FOR 2CH MUSIC LISTENING: Oppo goes to 2ch DAC ($500) into either preamp or integrated amp with HT bypass. The unit should have a spare set of variable outputs. That way, if you want to embellish the 2ch recordings ... |
