| Seeking Great Cool Runnin' SS Amp... Speaking of cool running amps, I haven't seen anyone mention the PS Audio HCA-2. Like the Evo 2 this is a digital amp (Class D) that runs very cool. I noticed a previous thread where some comparisons were made between these two amps, and the few w... | |
| Seeking Great Cool Runnin' SS Amp... I should mention that my budget is around $1500 to $2500, with the lower end preferred but justified departures accepted! Anyone who knows the amps listed here and can provide some comparitive feedback... it would be much appreciated. | |
| Sony DVP-S9000ES or Meridian 586 DVD/CD One thing to consider, if I'm not mistaken, is that the DVP-S900ES will not play back CDR's. This is from indirect information, but I believe it is correct. Someone correct me if I'm wrong... | |
| Are CD clubs a good deal? Has anyone had experience with the Musical Heritage Society? I just got an offer for all Beethoven's 9 symphonies, Berlin Philharmonic/von Karajan, for 99 cents each, no further buying requirements. | |
| Are CD clubs a good deal? I plan on enrolling in BMG, but the last time I went online to make my selections I was really dissapointed with the interface. It was very poorly organized for exploring. I'll have to check to see if it's improved at all. | |
| Best mid-size speaker, cost no object Fmpnd - I agree with you that sonic impressions are generally subjective and often relative to budgetary and other constraints. I hope I didn't come across too absolutest - these were simply my impressions. My impressions were also not consistent ... | |
| Best mid-size speaker, cost no object I have to say that from what I heard at CES, the Avalon Diamond beat out the Kharma Midi-Grand Ceramique and the Vandersteen 5 hands down. I say this without referring to the electronics driving them or those that you have. I found the Kharma to h... | |
| Best sounding room at CES 2003 I loved the Lamm SET amplifier => Wilson Watt Puppy System 7 speakers. The Watt Puppies didn't sound nearly as good on any other amp: VTL, Lamm A/B - but they sure sounded sweet, refined, and kept total composure throughout the dynamic spectrum... | |
| Where are you? Do you know what your FM is doing? Sdcampbell - are you on a hill or in a valley? I used to live in Port Townsend, and there was quite a good array of radio stations available there by the water, including CBC (Canadian) and Bellingham. Any chance of receiving these in Seattle? | |
| VPI 16.5 v 17.0 I just ordered a 16.5. Sorry to tweak this thread with a related question, but: regarding cleaning fluids for either the 16.5 or the 17, I've heard some say that they use the Disc Doctor cleaning fluids and brushes, and then remove fluids with the... | |
| Nakamichi deck service I reiterrate Johnny's experience. Steven is a good guy who knows Naks well and does good work. I'm very satisfied with what he did for me. | |
| Well, What's the Verdict on the Cary 308T I just wanted to clear up the problem I was having with the tray. This isn't a problem common to all CD-308's. On mine, the front plate on the tray (semi-transparent blue plate to match the LED display) was mis-aligned by about a millimeter. The p... | |
| how old is too old when buying speakers? I just recently bought some Tukans used. Great speakers for the cost! Could use a sub though. Anyhow, in terms of upgrades, I spoke with Linn and the only upgrade has been the protective cover on the tweeter. They told me that this was purely aest... | |
| CES - Which Days? I'll email the cell phone list out to all who add to it. Albert, where are you??? | |
| CES - Which Days? Ed - could explain a little more about the T.H.E. show - what it's focus is, etc.?Also, as a means of hooking up, I'd be happy to compile a list of names and cell phone numbers of those attending, so we can make arrangements on the fly as needed. ... |
