| CD/DVD Modding : Pros & Cons. IMO: If you keep pieces for a long time like I do then mods make more sense. If you're an audiophile who changes equipment frequently then I think modding might not make much sense since you might find what you're looking for with your next acquis... | |
| What current China import sounds like a CJ?? First off, my entire system is American, not because of some jingoistic ideal but because I honestly believe that the US builds the best audio equipment. Never planned it out, just turned out that way. That being said however, there is excellent e... | |
| Are you at this point?? Don't think it will happen but who knows? | |
| What do you know about Musicjapan? Forgot to mention Jpophelp in Canada. | |
| What do you know about Musicjapan? Sorry I can't help with Music Japan as I have never ordered from them. I have, however, ordered many times from Mundo and used from Tokyo Music. I have also ordered from CD Japan. I can recommend Ray Mizutani at Mundo, about 10 transactions all ve... | |
| Compare Large Advent? I believe I paid $250 (new) for my first pair of large walnut Advents and I must add, they had a lifetime guarantee so all the drivers I blew were replaced free. | |
| Meldau/Metheny: Thoughts? Dgarretson,I agree that "The Way Up" is an excellent effort. Almost seems that Metheny wants to write a symphony. I do wish he would forget the synclavier (I think that's what it's called). I always find it distracting on recordings although it wa... | |
| What wall outlet to purchase? I'll second the Krell man on these,I like the double cryo'd Oyaide outlets, the red ones (there are 3 to choose from). Purchased mine from Audio Excellence AZ. You can purchase these elsewhere but I don't think they will be cryo'd. Alan can guide ... | |
| Why Palladium in cables, wiring, etc. . .? Zaikesman,Your post makes sense. Ultimately it's how the cable sounds not how it "should" sound. Just read the reviews of Silversmith Audio Palladium series cables. Seems Palladium can indeed sound superb. Don't know why, don't really care. | |
| Dunlavy 4 or 8 ohms for Audio Research VT-100 amp? Andy,I could be wrong but I believe the Dunlavy is 6 ohms (nominal). So where does that leave you? I think Zargon has the correct answer. | |
| Compare Large Advent? Back in the day I played 4 stacked large walnut Advents powered by an SAE amp and pre-amp, Thorens TD125 with Shure SMEIII tonearm and Stanton 681EEE cartridge. I had 2 problems:1. Blew many woofer surrounds (very weak) and a few teweeters2. Could... | |
| Any experience with "Torus Power"? Made by Piltron and distributed by Bryston. Read one favorable review but may be too new for feedback here. I know Piltron and Bryston make quality products so was interested in these PLCs. | |
| Did 6moons post the BelCanto DAC3 review? It's up. I just read it. | |
| Who makes custom sized BB & granite slabs? Perfectionist,Please let us know how it goes with Timbernation. I'm also interested in a maple BB, probably 3" thick for my amp stand. He's probably out for the holidays. | |
| Best digital cable to audition? I don't want to open a can of worms here, it's been opened many times before. But I've tried many digital cables, all over the board as far as price, and they all sounded different. I'm not able to offer an explanation for these differences but I ... |
