| Pioneer Elite DV-09 as a Transport... I used my DV-05 as a transport for awhile. Fortunately, it's one of those things where you won't know its limitations unless you compare it to something else. If you add the jitter reducer, you will probably notice an improvement. If you switch to... | |
| Balanced or RCA? For that length either is fine. Balanced sounds much better between my amp and preamp. | |
| Lost in Speaker Cable Land - $350 Budget I believe Luminous Audio also has wire in that price range. | |
| Adding a DAC to a cdp Before buying, you might want to think about selling the Rega and buying a better one box player instead of the DAC. The new dac and digital cable could easily cost $500-$1500 for the models you mentioned (used or new). It's worth considering that... | |
| Best DAC for under $500 I second the EVS if you can find one. No matter the brand, you'll be better off buying used in that price range (or have a cheap one modified, like Jeffga suggests). | |
| Budget Phono Preamp? I think www.amusicdirect.com sells the clearaudio and there are often black cubes for sale here, but not usually that cheap. Grado makes one in that price range too, but I have no idea how it sounds. | |
| speaker selector Hi mscott62...the selector that I was refering to in the other thread was made by Niles Audio and does have the impedence protection mentioned above (I believe they have models with and without). I got one for my aunt who wanted to hook up three p... | |
| Best midranges... The Scanspeak drivers seem to be pretty popular with some manufacturers...Merlin being one. | |
| Benz Micro Ruby 2 Impedance Adjustment My preamp has plug-in resistor slots to change the load. The Benz US distributor recommended 900 to me. I bought some cheap resistors, tried the full range, and settled on 1000 (if I remember correctly). When I found one I liked, I bought a good V... | |
| 2 Channel SS Preamp Suggestions If you can deal with four line inputs I HIGHLY recommend a used Pass Labs Aleph P preamp (usually sold between $1000 and $2000 depending on age and remote). They sold for $4000 new, are built like tanks, and they sound amazing. I doubt the ones yo... | |
| Diana Krall - ENGAGED Elvis was married to Cait(sp?) O'Riordan from the Pogues. I never heard that they were divorced, but who knows?? | |
| Help with selecting Replacement Cartridge You'd have to ask a Linn person about the weight, but I use a Ruby 2 with my LP12 and Ekos and I think it sounds great. I do have issues with my anti-skate, but I think my problem is that the Ekos' adjustment knob is not calibrated correctly on my... | |
| Kodak DC-280 Can't take pictures of black amps I think Lugnut is correct...if the camera doesn't have macro mode, you might need to be 2-3 feet away for it to focus. If it has macro mode, turn it on and see how close you can get.Is there a focus lock? If so, you might also want to try focusing... | |
| Looking for DAC with certain features. I don't know if Cary would add an additonal input to a 308T for you, but it's worth asking (though the customizing would raise the price).My advice is to find a player with a good output stage and don't worry if it's tube or SS. A compromised tube... | |
| Does the Pioneer Dv-563a have Burr Brown DAC? ...the particular model of Burr Brown chip may vary, depending on the cost of the player (that's just a guess). |
