| problem with rega planet I've had my original Planet for 12 years or something like that now. Never a problem of any kind, ever. | |
| Best integrated for rock music under $1,500? No Veroman, you didn't say that about the Nait 51; Chandler2 did. You did say that sub integration *need* not be a nightmare, which I agree with. But at the same time I think that in the OP's likely price range, it would likely be one, and that he... | |
| Best integrated for rock music under $1,500? Veroman and Chandler2,He wants to spend no more than 1500 on the amp. I assume he'd be pairing with speakers in that category as well. Maybe for large large $$ you can get a well integrated sub/monitor setup. But in that price range, I doubt it. I... | |
| Best integrated for rock music under $1,500? Naim Nait 5i. Don't hesitate. And don't go subwoofer. Get full range. Subs can be a nightmare to integrate properly. | |
| One's trash is someone else's treasure I think it rather self-righteous and mean spirited of the many of you who are trying to make him feel bad about his good fortune. Ageist too. I see no indication in the OP that the gent was in any way unable to look out for himself. If it had been... | |
| Top turntables? What Patrickamory said. Beg Jean Nantais to build you a Lenco -- even the cosmetics are getting superb now. Then marvel. | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hey Jean, Just exactly what do you mean by:"But, my own Mr. Red is also overweight and oversized, and I cannot hear any appreciable difference between it and the "regular/classic" size"?I though the giant giant plinth Lenco's were supposed to be y... | |
| Want something more forgiving than Vandy 3a sigs Sounds to me like Sherod has a good idea. What I've heard from Vandersteens has never been the least bit shrill or unnatural in the treble. And if you already have them at -3db and still find them harsh, your HF hearing must be highly sensitive. B... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hi all,The Green Giant Lenco -- no longer so giant, in comparison to later designs -- that Jean built me, is, with its modest compliment of SMEIII/Shure M97EraIVHE and AT1005mkII/Denon DL103, FANTASTIC. Just fabulous, and every one I play it for f... | |
| Best Chicago area HIFI shop? ProMusica is indeed a Linn/Naim shop. But the gear they sold me and advised me to get has, almost without exception, given me great pleasure and satisfaction. And they have been very good to me over the years, despite the fact that I have abused t... | |
| Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Hey Jean,The stock Lenco has a sprung suspension which you wisely recommend defeating. I know first hand that the Lenco is no great shakes with the suspension engaged. Now the Lenco is quite susceptible to foot-fall without a massive plinth, so it... | |
| The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones Um, Beatles. Duh. (IMHO) | |
| Analog experiment I don't think 40 second intervals are even close to long enough to acclimate your ears to what you are hearing, and allow you to appreciate the differences that matter. Your strategy was extremely artificial, and your head cannot have been into th... | |
| Best rock song of all times Hate to disagree there, Launche, but BoRhap is silly, disjoint, soulless, flash crap. IMHO, of course. "Good Times, Bad Times" is pretty good, though. So is "Hungry Freaks" (FZ). | |
| int amp for naim cd5x When I heard a Nait5i with a mere CD5i and some Vandersteens 2A's, I was mightily impressed. If I'd had the $ and wasn't so much more into vinyl, I'd have gotten that combo. |
