| CD player wanted $500-$1000 Cambridge Audio 640C Ver.2. Excellent all the way around. Good luck! | |
| cambridge audio 640c v2 annoying click? The click is normal. Compared to the clatter that many modern high-speed CD-ROM drives used in the competion, count yourself fortunate. I'll take a click any day if it comes with the excellent sound the 640C creates. | |
| Audiophile multi-channel amp? Try a Theta Dreadnaught or Intrepid. Great sound and build quality. Good luck! | |
| What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers? Vandersteen 3A or 2CE Signatures have many of the virtues of the Magnepan in an esy to use package. The Linkwitz Orion is also an excellent alternative if dipole operation is desired. If only a true planar magnetic will do, the Eminent Technology ... | |
| I need help for processor selection Be careful not to invest too much in anything that doesn't offer a path to upgrade. The new lossless Dolby and DTS codecs are just around the corner and you'll most likely need HDMI inputs to derive the most benefit from these new formats. Multich... | |
| gemstone owners, any problems thus far? The Gemstone Blue Diamond is a nice unit that I had and returned for a variety of reasons. The journey ended with a Theta Dreadnaught (200 watt modules), and I haven't had an itch to switch to any other multichannel amp I've heard. A second-hand T... | |
| Which digital cable to use with a Benchmark DAC-1 Try a Canare 75 ohm cable from Markertek. Inexpensive and as good or better than anything else out there. Good luck! | |
| an upgrade from HSU-VTF-3 MKII.. Keep the Hsu and try a Velodyne SMS-1 bass manager. Once you experience truly linear bass response, there is no going back. | |
| Best 10K Speaker Magnepan MG-3.6, Linkwitz Orion, and Vandersteen 3A Signature should also be considered. Good luck! | |
| Vol. Control, TKD Or Dact For Counterpoint Pre ? Consider Goldpoint as well. | |
| Regarding Magnepan MMG speakers The MG-12 doesn't go substantially lower than the MMG, but it images somewhat better and sounds just a hint more refined. If the cost differential is small, I'd probably choose the MG-12. Either way they should sound great and match with your ampl... | |
| Regarding Magnepan MMG speakers The MMG really needs to be 3-4'from the wall behind for good performance. An option could be to move the speakers out for critical listening and place them closer to the wall when not in use or for background music. A subwoofer will be necessary f... | |
| Please recommend components for newbie with $1K Magnepan MMG and NAD C352. Add a quality subwoofer to round out the system when more funds are available. This should be a very musical system for minimal outlay and will retain value well should you wish to upgrade. Good luck! | |
| Help me pick a digital cable Try a Canare digital coaxial cable from Markertek. They are inexpensive, very well made, and sound as good as anything that I have heard. | |
| Is this ludicrous or not? The idea of spending $37,500 on any amplifier is insane. There are quite a few manufacturers producing great amplifiers and other components at a small fraction of this price, and there is no reason to spend more in the vast majority of cases. Goo... |
