| Speakers for a Classe CA-201 If your room can handle it I would recommend you look into a pair of Maggies, i.e., 1.6, 2.7 or 3. I am vary familar with Maggie, Classe, and Adcom match. This is a good system match. The subwoofer you have may or may not be a good match. For full... | |
| Best CDR ? No offence taken. That thread is a good reference regarding that debate. | |
| Best CDR ? HHB is an English company that has been making pro-audio for some time. They use a pioneer drive. They make some of the best stuff and the suggestions given are right on the money! However, if you can't swing for it buy a professional unit from Ma... | |
| Please help cartridge problem Try going through old issues of Audio. Their October issues is where they listed and cataloged componets. I would begin in the early 80's, however, you may need to go back further. As stated above, I do believe Benz and Empire crossed paths along ... | |
| cartridge for well tempered classic I own a WTRP and have had success with Benz. The silver and gold are a great bargan and can be had for around $250 and the glider improves on it, albeit, for more money. However, part of a recommendations is weighted towards the pre-amp, too. Mayb... | |
| Preamps I also own a #5 MKII. I would agree with the aboves posting. And, it does go well with Classe' amps. I have used it with a 70 and currently use it with a CA101. | |
| Turntables...Pro-Ject 2.0 Ditto to the above. Also, you should look into VPI HW 19 JR with any of the arm combos, i.e., AQ PT-6, RB 300, ect. These are available via the internet and you can upgrade when you have the funds. However, if good sounds and turnkey is your desir... | |
| upgrading from Spica TC60's to ?? I would caution the Maggie recommendation, you may not have enough room, but if you can get an at home audition go for it. Hell, if you can get an at home audition try any speaker. Your concern about not wanting to be disappointed is well made. Th... | |
| Bryston vs. McCormack As a late response, ditto! Tubes are great but I can't afford to retube either. The McCormick and the AL3a is a great combination and a poor man's answer to enveloping tube sound. I don't own this set up, however a freind does, and has for some ti... | |
| upgrading from Spica TC60's to ?? I owned a pair of TC-50s, circa 1990. These are nice speakers. The 60's came out in and around 95 or 96, they are also nice speakers. I would like to make a recomendation, however, I was wondering if you could list all you equipment and room demen... | |
| CDRs sound better than original!!! The Tascam is a pro unit. I have also read this, although I have not experienced this. I only burn from mastered DATs. I should try it to see if I hear a difference. The theory I have come across is that the pits on the CDR are more clearly define... | |
| Canare digiflex cbls- Which end is which I make and use this cable as a digital interconnect and I have found that by using the writing on the cable you should be able to read it going from your source to your DA. In other words it should look like this:------------------- Source>Cana... | |
| Fostex 2001 VS Magnepan MG3 HELP! P.S. You can find a better deal if you shop around on the Maggies. They are usually sold for $750. | |
| Fostex 2001 VS Magnepan MG3 HELP! You don't say whether it is the MG3 or MG3A. You would be surprised as how low the Maggies go. The reach down to 40 Hertz, which for the most part is all you may need. I am not familar with the Fostex. Are they still in production, can they be upd... | |
| CD recorder Marantz or Pioneer Garfish, there was no need for the apology. I can see how you might have mistaken my tone. In the past I have added my thoughts about this topic on like threads, however, to little avail. It appears that a few voices from the far can not compete w... |
