| Entry Rega,NAD,Project,MusicHall Catridge question Twl..what would be the next level of cartridges above the ones mentioned that would be a significant upgrade...would $100 be enough? Also, at this price point...what are the advantages/disadvantages of MC vs MM...thanks... | |
| Want to get excited about SACD again?? The irony of all of this is that the best digital audio is found in dvd players...combo players "hi-enders" seem to discredit...and the majority of individuals who purchase hi-rez players rarely have a system good enough to take full advantage of ... | |
| sony dvp-ns500v- how's the sound on redbook cd's? ALso...I wouldnt bother spending $350 to modify a $200 player...save your scratch...as there will be a plethora of universal players featuring SACD/DVD-A in the next year...such as the Philips 963sa...which is $400.. | |
| sony dvp-ns500v- how's the sound on redbook cd's? On redbook surprisingly good...in a recent review it was compared very favorably to the Rega Planet...part of the reason they have received negative marks is their awesome SACD capabilities...it makes you not want to play redbood...and despite som... | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? B&W's success lies in their aggressive marketing tactics...a large number of studios use their monitors...but then again...Mcdonald's is the worlds largest restaurant chain...too many equate "bigger with better"...the majority of their sales i... | |
| Quad makes Electrostats, why now box speakers?? They sound more like Spendors than budget midfi Wharfdales...afterall...SPendor designed the original 10L...but the new Quads are not as rolled off.. offer much more bass...and keep that signature "open midrange" hi end Brit monitors are known for... | |
| Why Linear Tracking never took off? So I assume affordable Linear Tracking models from the 80s, such as Technics SL-10,Yamaha px-2,etc,are good in "theory"...but bad in "practice?"...are there any affordable models that come to mind...maybe the revox b791? | |
| Speakers to pair with Arcam A65 plus under $600? By this time the Meadowlark Kestrals are long gone...and quite a steal at $695...new in this range I would audition Triangle Titus,Paradigm Studio 20,Krix Equinox,Dynaudio 42,and Energy C-3...good luck! | |
| Best efficient speaker for the money. I would check out higher end Triangle speakers...which often suprass 90-92db sensitivity...and are a good match for SETs....they are very revealing though... | |
| Want to get excited about SACD again?? SACd is already failing commerically...which is why they are pushing it as a multi-channel format to the HT crowd...this really is the only chance it has to move beyond a higher end "fringe" format...and with a very limited catalog...multiple play... | |
| Speakers 2K- 3K range used or new Dynaudio floorstanders are always a good bet...check out their Audience line...clean bass...sweet treble...and a very "open" midrange...Meadlowlark Shearwater is another one in that range... | |
| 2000$ - 7y old speakers - Better speakers today ? Most speaker advancements have been at the entry level...with the rebirth of the simple 2-way...it is now possible to get a reference quality pair of monitors for 500-$600...such as the Triangle Titus, Paradigm 20,Krix Equinox,Dynaudio 42,etc...wh... | |
| Quad makes Electrostats, why now box speakers?? Under new Chinese ownership...Wharfdale is their "Sister" company...and in a sense...the new Quads are top of the line Wharfdales...since they are built in the same factory...but they offer tremendous value for the money...the new 11/12Ls are easi... | |
| Quad makes Electrostats, why now box speakers?? Because the market for their hi-end electrostats is very small...and in Britain...you have to make a very good small monitor to survive...hence the acclaim of the Quad 11L...and the Quad 12L which I will soon own.. | |
| What prevents DIY speakers to become the ultimate? Although tempting,I passed on DIY kits...it is hard to justify spending $500-600 on a pair of DIY monitors when you can buy a very good pair of used monitors for that kind of cash...such as the SPendor 3/5,QUad 11L,etc...and be certain of the outc... |
