| When I have seen people listing their systems lately I think what the storeowner was saying was that computer audio and music servers are taking over for the standalone CD/SACD player--I know that one of my dealers in NJ only used a computer for digital demonstrations. However, there are dinosaurs ... | |
| Infinity Irs Betas vs Legacy Focus Se Cz, I think we as a nation are too stubborn for that, as I believe there has been a movement afoot for years to do just what you're talking about and it still hasn't happened. I would probably have some problems, since I play a LOT of golf (about... | |
| Infinity Irs Betas vs Legacy Focus Se Unless, of course, you meant 15 by 18 meters! | |
| Infinity Irs Betas vs Legacy Focus Se Can't speak to the Legacys, but there is no way I would put IRS Betas in a room that small. They need a LOT of room to reach their full potential. The other thing to keep in mind about the Betas is that you may have trouble getting replacement dr... | |
| Standard output voltage for RCA line-outs DAC/CD/Streamers, etc? I was under the impression that most CD players and DACs had a 2V output, though there was no standard. Your Chord does sound high. If you're running it directly into an amp, you might consider using some kind of passive attenuator between the D... | |
| In Memory of Glenn Frey...Favorite Eagles song? +1 on Lying Eyes. I'd go with Desperado as a second choice, but I prefer Linda Ronstadt's cover to the original. | |
| Suspensions on turntable...really effective? Basis uses a combination spring and fluid damped suspension in my table and I believe most of their line. AJ Conti (the man behind the company) has many technical papers about his products on his website, including the suspension system he uses--... | |
| DAC vs. Preamp Unless your DAC/CD player has a volume control, you'd need a preamp or passive line stage to adjust the volume to listen at least to CDs. As for the question of using a preamp or going direct into your amp with your source, there are a lot of thr... | |
| Do you remember when Audiogon was just a bulletin board classified ad site? Heck, I can't even remember when I joined here. | |
| How bad is the damage to my speakers? You may have just prematurely broken in your speakers, as over time the woofers tend to become less stiff. Because it happens over time you generally might not notice the change. True damage you might expect from this event would have been a blow... | |
| Do you remember when Audiogon was just a bulletin board classified ad site? I don't recall just having listings on this site, but I didn't use a computer for a long time either. Back in those days, Albert (albertporter), Norm (tbg), I and a lot of others used the Audiomart publication that predated Audiogon. Not nearly a... | |
| Suspensions on turntable...really effective? I'm not quite sure that I fully understand your question, but I will say that a good suspension will definitely isolate a turntable from footfalls and other vibrations. A stunt I use to prove it to non-believers is to hit the suspension of my Bas... | |
| Overfilled sillicon on a basis vector tonearm Keep trying Basis, by email and phone. It's a fairly small operation, and it might have been difficult to get them over the holidays, and also with CES. | |
| Largest audiophile club in the world with over 1500 members I wonder what audio club you're referring to? | |
| How to best ship big & heavy speakers internationally? One thing I found with shipping internationally is that some buyers might want you to declare a lower value on an item in order to lessen a customs charge. Problem with that is that you won't be able to insure past the declared value, and if the ... |
