| What makes a $20,000 cd player cost 20,000? collusion? | |
| upgrading CD player results I would agree with you, Richmon. In my system, people have to sit and listen for an hour before they hear a difference in my hifi player versus a midfi player versus a lowfi player (Ah! Njoe Tjoeb vs RCD-1072 vs Technics). The differences are very... | |
| Rega Spacers for RB700, 900, and 1,000 Did you try Music Direct?Music Direct - Rega | |
| Moving to separates You don't necessarily need separates. For tubes, you could get, say, a self biasing Primaluna integrated. It now comes with a mm phono board option ($160). Or a Cayin. | |
| What stole your attention from HiFi? I'm "breaking in" :-) a giant schnauzer pup. This has put my audio hobby on hold. | |
| Our we Lazy? I haven't heard a solid state amp for around $1k price range that sounds as good as a tube amp (tube rolling not include in $). | |
| Tube rolling on PrimaLuna P2 Yes sir, I sure did and I like them a lot. Highly recommended. I also put in some Amperex 7316s and this gave a more energetic feel to the music. You can't go wrong, really. I liked this amp with the stock tubes for that matter. With the Mullards ... | |
| Is SACD a dead format? Jayctoy, I don't have experience with more expensive players but I have a Pioneer 563. It is hard to tell a difference between this player and my Njoe Tjoeb. | |
| Is SACD a dead format? I noticed the Bill Evans sacds must no longer be in production. They are approx $28 on Amazon. I can not find them anywhere in the brick and mortar stores, most importantly, my local cd/record shop that always has everything. | |
| Thorens TF295 mkIII That helps. Thanks. | |
| Thorens TF295 mkIII blah! Its a TD295 methinks! not TF! | |
| PrimaLuna ProLogue One versus Two About $180 for each pair. I got the Platinum Grade from Upscale on the Mullards - that jacks up the price quite a bit. Amperex 7316s seem hard to find. Good thing is both these tubes are supposed to last forever. | |
| PrimaLuna ProLogue One versus Two Well, here are my short comments on tube rolling so far. I have tried the Mullard CV4004 and the Amperex 7316. Both very expensive tubes. I'll probably keep them but I figured I could sell them if I don't like them (but, I do like them, oh yes). F... | |
| Integrated Tube Around $1000 Why would anyone compare a 100wpc tube amp that cost $3,500 three years ago (Music Ref) to one that's 35 wpc and costs $1,000 (Primaluna)? Sure, the prof reviews say the Primaluna is comparable to amps in that price range but it all comes down to ... | |
| Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim) anyone remember those station wagons with the wood siding? ridiculous.I would say I dislike in most cases although the wood remote from Unico is pretty cool. I have an open mind though. |
