| question for nautilus 801 owners Unless you are willing to swap out your Bryston amps in favor of something like the Classe Omega (i.e., something smoother), I suggest you try a full rewiring with Cardas Cross interconnects and speaker cables. While it may not be the answer, Cros... | |
| Rowland --- older amps vs the newer models? Of Rowland's current amps, the 201/501 use the ICE amplification circuit and are primarily aimed at home theater and entry-level two channel. At $4k and $7k retail per monoblock pair, they are budget components by traditional Rowland standards. Th... | |
| Best speakers 2,500 can buy. There are many if you are willing to buy used. Both of the following are detailed, high-resolution and musical, but (i) Vienna Acoustics Beethoven are more toward the musical side, and (ii) Revel F-30 (not the newer F32) are more toward the detail... | |
| Has anyone received the Spectral CDP 4000 yet I know it exists and is not just another promised product: I was in Innovative in Manhattan the day their demo arrived in the first week of August (I watched a tech remove it from its shipping container and hook it up -- it does exist). | |
| Avid Acutus Forgive me for not addressing your specific question, but for whatever it's worth, one of my dealers, Sound by Singer, is very enthusiastic about the Avid tables. Given that they have had a 30/2 in the floor for about as long as I can remember, an... | |
| Are the Revel Salons powered successfully by ...? I have Salons. The 335 or 33H are both more than fine on the speaker as a general rule. A high-current 100 watt solid-state amp will drive them without a problem. That said, since you listen to orchestral, you of course need all the power you can ... | |
| Django Reinhardt. The one CD compilation Django Reinherdt Verve Jazz Masters 38 is a good start. Yeah, most recordings of him are not so hot. | |
| Music for Riding a Storm Out? I am going to try to explain this as best I can: posting a thread about what songs to listen to while riding out a hurricane expresses a childish, flippant attitude about a subject that could not be more serious, and is disrespectful of the people... | |
| Music for Riding a Storm Out? Jea48: I was outraged at first, but am now quite amused by this thread. Keep it coming. | |
| Music for Riding a Storm Out? No, you can rest assured that I would not be posting threads about what music to listen to during a hurricane. While you still have power, you may want to google the term "natural selection" (or have your "PhD [sic] wife" explain it to you). | |
| Music for Riding a Storm Out? I don't know what's worse, that someone would post such a thread or that the moderator would let something this idiotic through. | |
| tube amp info Quoting from the "TIPS & ADVICE" section of the owner's manual to my VAC Rennaisance 140/140 Mk. III tube amps: "How long should tubes last? It has long been known in professional circles (and probably now forgotten) that a [small signal] tube... | |
| tube amp info Assuming you have a high quality, revealing system, I vehemently disagree with the above posts. All of your equipment except the tube amps should be left on 24/7 and powered down only if there is an electrical storm (in which event everything has ... | |
| Jeff Rowland Phono Stage I've been running the Cadence in my main system for almost five years.I ran it with the A/C power supply for the first two years, and the last two+ years with the battery power supply that it shares with the Coherence II line stage that I also use... | |
| What do you have under your Black Diamomd Racing I have my The Source Shelf sitting on four sorbathane discs, which separate it from the custom MDF component stand the Shelf sits on. I actually found the most benefit from sorbathane underneath my turntable motor's feet, which isolates the motor ... |
