| Which artists do you just not get? I've tried and tried, but I just can't get into most of Dave Mathews Band. I wanted to like it because so many people think it is the greatest. I don't get it!I REALLY don't get the whole Metallica thing! The last few things I heard from Metallica... | |
| DAC attack ? Wheeler,I have been following your recent threads, so I know you are really excited about Audio at this moment. You have purchased an expensive (and well reviewed) DAC and don't think it is a good value vs your old DVD player. Knowing this, here i... | |
| hifi as investment? I always consider the "deal" when purchasing used equipment. I certainly don't plan to make money if I later sell the piece of equipment, however, I do intend to cut my potential loses on each piece.My plan is to always buy "desirable" components ... | |
| EFE Speakers T22 Check At www.AudioAsylum.com. Pete Whitley posted several times about this speaker. BTW, he really liked it!!Also, Ed Frias (the owner/designer) Seems like a really great guy. Enjoy,TIC | |
| CD player with volume control I've owned both the Cary CD-308 and Theta Miles(balanced version) and both have sounded great via built in volume control.The Cary sells for about $1500 new or $1000-1100 used and the Theta sell for $800-$1200 used. BTW, the Theta balanced version... | |
| Sony DVP7700 not producing DTS output. Each time you watch a DTS encoded movie, you must go into the DVD (movies) menu and select DTS. Otherwise, the Sony will use the default format (DD). This setup is in the movie's setup menu, not the player's setup.BTW, this is true of every DVD pl... | |
| CD player Vs Pre-amp Gary,I use a Cary CD-308 connected directly to my amps. I think it sounds great. I recently borrowed a highly praised $4000 tube pre-amp from a friend for a comparision. With the pre-amp in the circuit, I got slightly better dynamics, but the cost... | |
| component, s-video and composite newbie Ivanj,Cable TV is notorious for causing ground loop issues. You likely need to isolate the cable TV input from your system. There are a couple of manufacturers that make isolation devices for this purpose. Mondial makes one and I think RadioShack ... | |

| Anyone have problems with Arcam digital gear I previously owned an Arcam Alpha 9 CD player. I sold it via AudiogoN when I decided to buy a CD player with a built in volume control.A couple of months after I sold the unit (BTW, I bought it used via AudiogoN), the new owner posted a question o... | |
| Best small speaker I gotta agree with Jim. The Reference 3A MM De Capo or De Capo(i) are great small speakers. I find them to be very involving with great detail and musicality. Additionally, they have the best bass performance of any small speaker that I've ever he... | |
| How's the analog volume control on the Opus 21? Hey Fred,I too am interested in the Opus 21. I currently run my Cary CD-308 direct to amps and would do the same with the RA.Question: What is the ETA for new Opus 21. RA website states "Out of stock" call to order. Have you talked to the RA folks... | |
| Whats the deal with these antique sound labs av-8s Hey Ben,TIC here again. I had a pair of the ASL Wave 8s. They didn't really do it for me. That said, for $200 or less used, I would still try a pair if you had speakers that are about 92db eff. or more. Heck, for $200 you can try them and resell t... | |
| Suggestions for toslink cable? OK guys, I'm gonna let you in on a secret. The Wireworld and the Sound Professionals cables are the ones that get all the press at AudioAsylum. There is a review of both as mentioned in a previous post.However, there is a guy on e-Bay that sells t... | |
| CDP with volume control I have owned a Theta Miles (balanced version-twice as many DAC chips as RCA only version) and the Cary Audio CD-308. I ran both directly into a plethora of amplifiers. Both worked great.Currently I have the Cary CD-308 running directly into a pair... |
