| Law of Diminishing Returns - CD/SACD Players The point of diminishing returns is about $19.95. That would get you the cheapest portable or close-out throw away CD/DVP player from a big box store.Past that, it is a matter of value, which is subjective. Some folks would possibly consider a goo... | |
| Top Notch affordable? speakers for 30 watt Amp With a quality 30 watt tube amp, I would also recommend Reference 3A. The DeCapos are a very good sounding speaker. I have the non-"i" version and find them to be a very nice sounding speaker. The non-"i" version tend to take just a little sparkle... | |
| Digital Cable Help You might want to list the rest of your system. Do you use a separate pre-amp and amp or an integrated amp? Does it allow more that one soure, i.e. does it have multiple RCA inputs.If your system allows more than one input, you will not have to sw... | |
| JSE infinite slope Ken,Thanks, I must have seen one of the more expensive models like the 2s. They seemed pretty pricey at the time.TIC | |
| JSE infinite slope Lanchile,Consider yourself fortunate! You found a good speaker at a great price. Now go enjoy them!BTW, in current dollars, your 20 year old speakers were probably much more expensive than your friend's B&Ws. I think some of the JSE speakers c... | |
| Anyone else evolve beyond tubes? If tubes are bad and produce distortion, why would you want them at the front of the audio chain? I've always been a believer in GIGO.So sending the distorted signal all the way through the audio chain and amplifying the distorted signal is "your ... | |
| CD sound quality Bonvoyage, Are you saying the vocals sound a littled recessed or are you saying it sounds like it is broken. how bad is the problem? If you are talking a little bit recessed, a different player may help. If you are saying it sounds like it is brok... | |
| Why does my ARCAM say "over"? I think Audiofankj has it right. I'm guessing that the CDs that are giving you trouble are multi-format types, possibly dual-disc. Your CD player is trying to read TOC on the disc and can't read it. Your player is smart enough to know that there i... | |
| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? Jaybo, where do you live now? Skyline Chili is available in the canned chili section at a lot of regional grocery stores. If you can't get it where you live, let me know. I'll send you a few.Enjoy,TIC | |
| Recommend Speakers For Yamamoto I'm with Microjack on this one. I was under the impression that you already owned the Yamamoto amp and were looking for speakers to match. Since that is not the case, personally I would recommend a different approach. I've heard several 45 based a... | |
| Recommend Speakers For Yamamoto You are going to need a high efficiency speaker with a low powered SET amp. I don't know about the B&W or JM Labs speakers, but I don't think they are going to be efficient enough to work with a 45 SET amp. It is going to depend on your room s... | |
| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? Jaybo,Cincinnati is like that town in the movie "Citty Chitty Bang Bang". In the town in Vulgaria, children were forbidden by the dutchess. They were there, in hiding, but you didn't see them out on the streets!There are lots of audiophiles in Cin... | |
| Whats going on with Cary Audio's website Tboooe,Are you using a high speed connection, i.e. cable modem? Do you have a router/wireless access point? If so, unplug the cable modem and router. Plug them back in and try again. Sometimes the routing table stored in the device gets messed up ... | |
| Zu Druid IV - the real deal? Drubin,I have absolutely had that experience. Get a new component, call my buddy telling him it is the greatest value ever, sell the new component 2 weeks later!This is absolutely not a commentary on Zu. I've never heard any of their products (but... | |
| Best Bike to ride before a good listening session The one Floyd Landis jumped on in the middle of today's epic TDF stage. It must have been magic because he really "pulled on out of his, uhh, hat" today!BTW, for anyone that cares about bicycle racing, what Floyd did today is nearly unimaginable!E... |
