| what preamp to acompany my conrad johnson mv55? Shahens, if you can stretch (isn't that always the way!) go for a premier 14, can be had for around 2,000 or maybe less on the used market, the pv10 is also a giant killer but not in the premier line at CJ - good luck! | |
| All in the Family What about the Osmonds, and the Partridge Family - the Brady Bunch recorded some pretty good stuff also :-) | |
| How much should I spend on cd transport Transports make a huge difference - I found out when my Meridian 200 was sent in for repair and I sustituted a Rotel 855. The meridian is much more refined, smoother - a digital cable is also extremely important. My transport also reacts to power ... | |
| Noise From New Tubes Try switching the tubes in the sockets, this has worked for me in the past - the pv10 is a little noisy anyway but not excessively so... | |
| Lower gain in left channel. Some music is recorded that way, you'll notice a difference on some recordings from song to song... | |
| Why buy older digital gear? I still have a Meridian 263 bitstream dac and it sounds "less digital" than alot of newer technology I've heard. | |
| I'm still working to love digital, are you? I have mixed emotions about digi and analog - I've been into digital for so long that I've accepted its flaws and relished it's strengths. A great digi pressing whether from AAD or DDD is excellent on a great system. A lousy transfer sounds lousy.... | |
| Which speaker cables??? Hi Sohatas - I have those very MIT cables, they are not currently in my system but I swapped them in last night just for the heck of it. I have several sets of cables from various manufacturers laying around and every once in a while I do that - b... | |
| Classe CA200 vs CA 100? Brett - I'm driving 3.6's with a ca200 and wondered the same about a ca400. If I remember right the "UHC" ultra high current technology started in the 200 and went up the line - your owner's manual will probably tell you if you have it or not. Unl... | |
| Turntable help Please Zaikesman - dude, you got my albums? | |
| Turntable help Please Good eye Gumbydammit - plus I can't find my freakin Albums, besides I've been at this long enough that I would dive in full body if I go analog - why would I cheat myself with mid-fi analog when I've had excellent playback with digital. probably h... | |
| Turntable help Please Thanks everyone - great advice. Right now I'm searching for 90% of my old albums - they might have been lost in a move 4 years ago - I'm gonna be pissed! | |
| Taming bright Thiels Tim, I'm glad you're learning something - I was once young and thought I knew everything, now that I'm older I realize I don't know S#@T. But I do know bourbon and I hope you took my earlier advice and upgraded to Jim Beam Black from Evan Williams... | |
| Taming bright Thiels Wow Hug, sounds like you've tried almost everything. I have 3.6's and they are bright only when the recording is. I'm using fairly warm electronics; Meridian digital, cj 14 with mullard tubes (warm and full), and classe amp - but using all silver ... | |
| A search for great cables for electrostatics Yeah Bama, I like the MI-2's myself, not with electrostats but with Thiels - a great match for my system...you a bama fan? |
