| Benchmark DAC-1 on a Sony DVP S9000ES?? Thanks for the link Bigkidz! | |
| Another sign SACD is dying jactoy, no offense taken at all. arkprof, I don't think it will gain wider appeal. This is it, audiophiles only, but it isn't going away. New titles are coming out. You can still get SACDs just like you can get the abandoned HDCD. If it were to di... | |
| Audio Aero Prima 24/192 Mk II cd player...... Vertigo. I can't answer your question, but I have to say that my Sony XA777ES with superclock II mod is the only non tubed CD player in my price range that I'll listen to. I keep trying to replace it with a tubed output CD player, but everytime I ... | |
| With all your knowlege you have gained over time, I would keep my VS VR4jr and VPI Scout with Dynavector karat. I would however get all JPS lab cabling and ICs. I would pretty much go all tube this time around. Investing money is always a better idea since you can buy a bigger stereo later. But l... | |
| Audiophiles... Why Men? Any woman here? Women are shopping for cloths that rival some of the most expensive audio gear - specifically purses and shoes - I think the rest of the wardrobe would be like cables and power cords. | |
| Integrated amp shutting down You can't do wrong with the ASL AQ1001DT. It has the tube sound, but also has the better characterstics of SS - and that's with the stock tubes. | |
| what would be a good mat for a VPI SCOUT JWM9 Wow. That's a lot to ask of a $50 mat. Anyone else experience this? | |
| what would be a good mat for a VPI SCOUT JWM9 I actually tried a mat because I had one from my other TT and agree with above it made the sound worse. | |
| Looking for a new speaker: VR 4 Jr vs. Hps 938 I would definately not purchase until you listen to the jr. You will no doubt have good synergy with the BAT. I am driving with a 50wpc tube amp. It is enough, but softens the bass a little. You could always get a SS amp to drive the bass later if... | |
| Rotel RCD 991 or 1072? I've heard that the 991 has synergy with a rotel amp or preamp. I heard it was better than the 1070. I hear the 1072 is much improved, but haven't been able to compare either. I am was very happy with the 1070 when I had it. Rotel is great at thei... | |
| Tube Integrated Amps There are many others that are great out there. The usually cost more. But the two you mentioned are up with the best in their respective price range. I love them too. I went from seperates solid state to a tube integrated and I don't want to upgr... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? "08-25-05: Henryhkthere are simply too many....so let's turn this around. Who is the most over-rated? To start out a bit controversially...for me one is Steve Vai. Great technique, no soul nor character. It ain't music to me. Don't get me wrong I ... | |
| Klipschorn: Still relevant?? "You didn't raise my blood pressure. I just thought the implication in your post was not well thought out."I can't argue with that, a lot of what I do isn't thought out. Old isn't bad if you enjoy them. I listen to LPs. They are better than all th... | |
| Von Schweikert VRS/1 subwoofer - thoughts? Bignerd100 makes a good point. Subs are very very difficult to integrate and the budget ones can ruin a refined sound, so make sure it's worth it to you. Listen first. I know someone that would have to change the level on the sub for each LP becau... | |
| Your insight on a CDP purchase It's hard to beat a great player that has been modded for the money compared with a stock player. I'm not saying it's always the case, but buying something just to be done with it will cause you to have buyer remorse a few months down the road and... |
