| Looking to step up from Polk RTi A3. 1500 or under What equipment do you have ... do you plan to upgrade your other equipment ... what do you listen to ... are we talking vinyl or digital ... how loud do you listen ... what is important to you in sound ... how big is your listening room ... do yo... | |
| Second audio system in your house? 3 systems in a 2 bedroom apartment ... wrong person to ask. Go for the grand, second systems are the ones you can experiment with and have fun with.Rich | |
| The Beach Boys Two sayings come to mind ... the first is 'I guess you had to be there' and the second would be 'either you get it or you don't.' Leaving it at that though, would be dismissive and that would not be my intention.The comments that you have made ab... | |
| Just how great is Elvis Costello Hi pops;Granted these albums focus on the early, angry young man, but I still find EC's first three albums all from the late 70's to be his best ... 'My Aim is True', 'This Year's Model', and 'Armed Forces'. If you like these three albums, then "... | |
| Blue Ray Audio? I use a separate player for Blu-Ray Audio discs, a Panasonic BDT-500, and a separate player for SACDs, a SONY SCD 555ES.Feel pretty much the way mahler123 does about it.Rich | |
| Are Ohm-Walsh micros and 1000 series disrespected because of omni-directional design?? Hi SJ - It may just be that it is just plain difficult to find a dealer that handles Ohm speakers and to my memory, I have never seen a pair at one of the shows. And granted, I may be wrong on both counts. But for a speaker manufacturer that is ... | |
| Just how great is Elvis Costello I may kind of, sort of dissent here. Elvis Costello is pretty good, not sure about great. I own a lot of Elvis Costello music (19 of his first 21 albums ... did not go for Juliet Letters or il Sogno) and yet when I want to listen to EC, I alway... | |
| Rega, Pro-ject, Music Hall, NEED help Until the new Technics 1200 is released later this year, I would go with a Stanton ST150 at $600. Yes, I know it is a DJ table, but I have been using one happily in my main system for the last year. You will need to swap out the cartridge (go in... | |
| New Member Needs Help So here comes the big question ... what is your budget for replacing the preamp/ amp/ and player? If you are considering new, I believe that you are looking at 3 to 4k for an integrated and CD player from companies like Creek or Rega. If you lik... | |
| Prima luna Pro Logue intergrated amp.... Will it make my Martin Logan's sing? I have had the Prima Luna PL2 integrated and PL5 power amp for the last 10 years. These amps are truly wonderful ... great detail, musical, just a touch of warmth, easy to tube roll. But they do run out of steam. When I playback a movie (blu-ra... | |
| New Member Needs Help Nelson Pass did design the original 555. You may want to read through this thread ... url=http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/solid-state/5280-adcom-555ii-nelson-pass.html. With that said, I would be asking the question ... does it make sense to reha... | |
| New Member Needs Help Hi JPL,The equipment that you have is 25 or so years old. When I broke up with my wife in 1990, one of the first things that I did after I rented an apartment, was to purchase for myself a nearly identical system ... Adcom GTP 500 II preamp/ tune... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Two albums deep into Dylan's 'Biograph.' | |
| Integrating a new turntable into existing system and having sound quality problems... The Project Debut Carbon comes with an Ortofon Red cartridge. I am not sure which model Project phono box you purchased. If it is the Phono Box DC, is there any chance that you have the MC/ MM switch set to MC, should be MM? Rich | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad I take a much simpler view on this. Rap occupies the same place with our culture today, that rock did 45 years ago (I am 58 now). As I think to myself when I see most of what is around today (be it clothes, fashion, music, etc.) ... we had our t... |
