| Something More Efficient than Revel Studios? Check out Coincident speakers. | |
| Does anybody read Q magazine? Many of the British mags are much much better than the American music mags. I don't even bother reading any of the big American music mags anymore. CMJ was the last decent one, but they lost it about two or three years ago. I recommend checking ou... | |
| What system to match Merlin TSMM's? I highly highly highly recommend talking to Bobby at Merlin. Tell him about your tastes, your listening habits, etc. He's heard all sorts of equipment with his speakers and he could probably give you several tube and SS choices in your price range... | |
| Big Difference With New Source? This is kinda off topic, but I completely agree with Sean as far as the EVS Millenium DAC 2 goes. Like Sean, I was also suffering from a buzz problem. I assumed it was the DAC, but I really didn't want to part with mine. After nearly a year of fru... | |
| Review: Sound Dynamics RTS-3 Monitor Nice review, Highendman!Hey Joe b...the Cardas placement info can be found on their site (www.cardas.com). It's a ratio of speaker distance from rear wall, side walls, each other, and listener. Try using it if you have the space...it works great w... | |
| BMG CD's ARE worse Hi Cdc...Any album had to be remastered before it was put on CD, because it had to be transferred from analog to digital (at least once). There's no way that album was digitally remastered in 1976. Both versions could have used the original master... | |
| Anybody considerered Merlins? I own the Merlin VSM-Ms (upgraded from the SE version last year) and I love them. All speakers and tastes are different, but I would highly recommend considering them if they're in your price range. They are basically floorstanding monitors with b... | |
| Big Difference With New Source? Hi Ptm...I do think CD players sound different enough to make the upgrade worthwhile, but the differences are much much more noticeable when the rest of your system is upgraded. I'm not familiar with most of your components, so I can't comment on ... | |
| Why is my amp distorting? Was it extremely hot or humid when it happened?? I've had a few days where I seemed to get some overheating issues, but I think it may have been my DAC distorting...not my amp. | |
| Compatibility: Burning DVD to CD I can't bet my life on it, but no...I really don't think you can. My Sony CDRW33 has 24/96 a/d - d/a converters, but it is only capable of converting 32kHz and 48kHZ digital signals to 44.1kHz...not 96kHz. At least that's what the manual says...I ... | |
| The Hives:Real Deal or just a tease??? Yeah...it's definitely a trend. Trends seem to come and go pretty quick these days, so it will eventually end. These are all bands of 20-somethings who discovered the music that some of us grew up with (or maybe even some of your kids). I enjoy th... | |
| Suggestion for Amp to 2 ohm loads? I'm not familiar with many amps in that category, but I have a rebuilt Counterpoint NP100 and the designer (Mike Elliott at AltaVistaAudio.com) makes the claim that his amps can drive a 2 ohm load all day long without wimping out. My amp is 100wpc... | |
| Review: Counterpoint SA-100 Tube amp I had my SA100 upgraded to the NP100 (Premium Gold version with two 6SN7 tubes) a little over a year ago and I couldn't be happier. Compared to Drv's Basic upgrade, the Premium Gold upgrade is basically a complete rebuild of the amplifier. All of ... | |
| JPS Labs power cables I use their Power AC (amp), Analog AC(preamp), and Digital (DAC) and I noticed improvements in all three spots. I've never read any complaints about their cords and they're usually readily available used. I didn't compare them to any other brands,... | |
| Is bagend a reputable company BagEnd is located in a suburb of Chicago, and a couple of my favorite local Chicago clubs used BagEnd speakers for their PA systems. I always thought the sound was excellent. One of them (Schuba's) switched to ElectroVoice a few years ago and I do... |
