| Advice requested: CDP/DAC or Amp? I would second Aball's opinion. The CD player you have is actually pretty good. I would go with an amp or preamp. Or, like I did when I departed from my Rotel equipment, go for an integrated. I used a Rotel RB1080 and RC1090 (I think it's 1090?). ... | |
| Tice Solo vs Chang Lightspeed 6400 unfortunately, I have to say the same thing about the Chang. I haven't heard the Tice, but the Chang improved the sound at a reasonble price without killing the detail. So, no help at all but... | |
| Has digital come close to or beat up analog yet ? Has digital come close to or beat up analog yet ? NOHow do you get a smoother analog wave with straight lines? | |
| The most emotional amp out there? It's gotta be a tube amp. | |
| How Much Time do You Surf on Audiogon? Lugnut - if that were only true ;) | |
| Which headphones are comfortable? Sennheiser and tubes are a good substitute for sleeping pills. I'm kidding (sort of) I have Senn 600 - and Grado RS-1. I have tube amp with Senns (ASL MGhead) and RA-1 for Grado. I read all the hype about the Senns and they sound great for classic... | |
| Question for classical lovers When you clap your hands in your room does it give off a harsh glaring high pitched echo? just checking. I agree as good as SACD is - there is something about the high frequency of it that can be harsh even on a good recording. I also heard my dea... | |
| Do you protect your hearing? I wear earplugs when using the vacuum cleaner, record cleaning machine, etc. I am definately more contious of it, because I want to be able to hear as much as I can as I get older. It is because of my audio hobby. | |
| How does Totem do it ??? Yep an awesome speaker! I like the sound. It has synery with tubes as well. | |
| Q. on cheap good line contioning Be careful of the Monster HTS2000. It will sound better at first, then you'll realize that all your CD's LP's sound the same. It actually glosses over the detail. The Chang Lightspeed is about the least expensive audio conditioner/surge protector ... | |
| Which is more important - Interconnects or PCs? Too shay gunbei | |
| Too much bass Are you sure it's not the room? You have all solid equipment, and your amp should be able to handle those speakers I would guess. | |
| Best phono-pre for mc-systems below $ 1.500,00 ? ear 834p will be tough to beat | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? henryhk, I agree. Steve Vai has some songs that are great, and he can play anything at any speed. But he chooses to play off the wall stuff with sound effects to the point where it just gets silly. Another one that has talent on Vai's scale is Fra... | |
| Need a CD player to match I think you'd do fine with Rega, music hall, Jolida, Rotel. They are all good for price as well as others, but these seem to be the most popular ones at the price. You'd have to listen to see which sound you like. |
