| Usher BE-20 inquiry You might have too small of a room for the 20's. The 10's might be a better fit. I have the new mini dancer 2's in a 27 x 13 ft room with great results. | |
| Usher CP-6311 Tube Amp Recommendation I sold my classe separates and went with the rogue Cronus magnum to power my usher cp-6381's and now my new usher mini dancer 2's. Plenty of power with the kt120 tubes. The 6381's were driven using the 8 ohm outputs and now I'm using the 4 ohm out... | |
| looking for musical Tube Integrated Amplifier I have had the same odyssey amps in the past and have used the usher cp-6381's up until 3 weeks ago (for sale now). I have been using a newer rogue Cronus magnum tube integrated amp with the kt120 tubes with great success. They powered the 6381's ... | |
| Help select integrated 2 channel amp under 1000 Check out the classe cap-150 for sale on agon now. I have owned many classe amps and preamps and they are very good. | |
| External drives Vegasears, not even close to being over kill. You don't need to use a raid 1 for a music setup when you only use 1tb disks. The reason is that 1tb is pretty small for a disk, tb2 or greater is about right. Also, using raid 1, it provides a means t... | |
| Amp for Usher BE-20 ? do you think a rogue magnum chronos would power these speakers? i have the 120 tubes rated at 100 watts. | |
| Why aren't there any used Jolida JD9 on the market I purchased a new modified version from jolida and it is much better than the stock unit. | |
| I-tunes download sample rate? I use max or xld and this produces a much better rip over straight iTunes. Also, I used to rip in 24 bit but lately using 32 bit. The files are larger but who cares, disk is cheap. I have 2000 CDs ripped using iTunes with audirvana plus. This extr... | |
| Dump Your 401K, Invest in records Our hobby pieces are not an investment. Most of these pieces drop in price the minute you buy them, and that goes for vinyl records. You might have a couple pressings that are classics but the other 99.99% will be worth .10 on the dollar. I still ... | |
| Separates w/internal phono vs Integrated + phono I just did this. Went from using a Classe cp-60 with internal phonoboard and ca-200 amp and went to a tube integrated with an external tube phono preamp. The internal phono card in the classe preamp was expensive and just so so compared to externa... | |
| Soundstring GEN 2 speaker cable.Anyone using them? i use all soundstring cables in my system. i just made some changes and have 2 pairs of soundstring 3ft IC's for sale: 1 pair with rca and 1 pair balanced. | |
| Do expensive cables/wires REALLY make a difference All cables will sound different, not necessarily better. If the cables don't have any impact then this isn't your weakest link. What the buyer has to decide is if the difference in sound worth the price. I have owned Porsches in the past and you w... | |

| Mac Mini 2011 with Lion or 2010 with Snow Leopard from what i hear is that the newer 2011 mac mini produces less jitter than prior models. if this is true, this is incentive alone to make the witch. also, you don't need to buy an external cd/dvd drive, you can use remote disk to share a device fr... | |
| iMac + what DAC to exceed my Rotel CD player? IMO, save your money and get a really good dac like the Wyred-4-sound dac1 or dac2. in the long run, you will actually be saving money. i did exactly what you are going, starting small then moving up. a nice cheaper dac is a cal sigma or alpha dac... |
