| Small, tube-friendly speaker suggestions needed Why not the Spendor S3/5 since you mnetioned them already?Otherwise, I would second the Merlin TSM or alternatively suggest the Green Mountain Audio (GMA) Europa. Both should be driven by a 30 Watt amp without problems. I listened to the Callisto ... | |
| PC based system, questions and clarifications... While I like the SB I do not like it’s interface... small>I am glad I am not alone - I was considering using the Squeezebox as well, but could not stand the interface (either the web-based one or the little display). One of the main reasons I w... | |
| How to tunr FLAC into Apple Lossless All tags are correct and accounted forTags that you created with EAC may sometimes differ from the itunes ones. Itunes usually has less typos and more artist/composer information. | |
| Radiohead's new business model: Now the sad truth is that it was a publicity stunt designed to extract more money from their fans.Not if they paid 0$ for the download and now some might do this actually....You are free to vote with your wallet. Vote 0$ if you feel that any amoun... | |
| Radiohead's new business model: I just had a chance to listen to it as well - I actually like this already as much as Kid A. Wide range of songs with some really outstanding ones:15 Steps (great opener with explosive beats)All I need (agree - very much in Kid A style)House of Cards | |
| Is there such a thing as audiophile parametric eq? Rives, your last explanation does make sense. Of course, I don't have nearly the experience you do with respect to measuring different rooms and corrections ;). Shadorne, thanks for your response - good points as well. So far I have not really gon... | |
| Radiohead's new business model: AND? What is the verdict on the new album? | |
| Is there such a thing as audiophile parametric eq? Rives, thanks for your comments. I will try to research some of the white papers. Your results for the averaging are very surprising indeed - not what I would have expected from a physics perspective.Thanks very much! | |
| PHONO-Hagerman's Cornet or Wright Sound WPP200C The Denon is very low output and would require an additional step-up to increase the gain before the Wright preamp. The Lundahl step-up can be found at K&K ($335 assembled). Alternatively, you can buy the WMT100 step-up by George Wright which ... | |
| Radiohead's new business model: Interesting that it will be available on vinyl in a complete set with CD and download:DISCBOXPrice is a bit steep at 40 Pounds... | |
| PHONO-Hagerman's Cornet or Wright Sound WPP200C I have no experience with the MMII as well, but doubt that you will find much better than the Denon DL103R for the money. The Wright, Lundahl transformers, and Denon DL103R are a great match. | |
| PHONO-Hagerman's Cornet or Wright Sound WPP200C The low output Benz I tried was of course half the output of yours at 0.4mV. Also, for some reason I preferred matching output impedances through different step-up ratios rather than through resistors. Never tried the medium Benz Ace though. | |
| PHONO-Hagerman's Cornet or Wright Sound WPP200C Tvad, yes I meant low output MC. By they way, even with the Medium Ace I woould try a step-up, maybe a 1:5 ratio. Even the low output Benz had enough gain with the Wright, but sounded somewhat anemic. Inserting a step-up helped tremendously. Worth... | |
| PHONO-Hagerman's Cornet or Wright Sound WPP200C In an attempt to simplify my system (too many single small pieces standing around), I am trying out the JLTI phono (made by ALLAN Wright) at twice the price. On first listen it is very close to the (George) Wright WPP200c in terms of texture and d... | |
| Is there such a thing as audiophile parametric eq? Rives, interesting comment about the analog equalization - I usually read about the negative impact of the phaseshifts in analog EQ. I didn't know the phaseshift would be the same as the one imparted by the room. Do you have a good reference (even... |
