| what next cdp dac? Own an Arcam FMj23 and like it a lot. But I'm currently auditioning an Exemplar-modded Oppo 95 and I'm very impressed. Don't rule out a used modded Oppo. I see that EVS and Modwright also mod Oppos. | |
| Streaming music comparisons and quality Currently streaming music from HP desktop and Apple Time Capsule HD/router in a remote room of the house to a Zardoz server (hot rodded Apple Express from France) wired to my system in downstairs listening room. Use Apple Touch as my remote to sel... | |
| Which cartridge do you use with the vpi classic? Bifwynne et al - I own the Classic 1 and using a Benz Micro Glider that I took off my old SOTA Sapphire. If I had no cartridge, what would you recommend for someone on a limited budget (retired on a pension with a wife who collects jewelry like I ... | |
| VPI Classic 3 And a follow-on question - for the money, is it that much better than the Classic 1? | |
| Has CD playback evolved in the last 5 years? Will have an opportunity in a couple weeks to audition a new Exemplar modded Oppo. But within the last year I've gone to wireless streaming of my 800 plus cd library and find it very convenient. Therefore, the bar is set very high for the Exemplar... | |
| Best one-chasis CD/SACD player under $15 000? Gfroman - before you purchased your Modwright, did you compare with the Exemplar modded Oppo95? | |
| Arcam FMJ 23 vs modded Oppo Auditioning the Exemplar should tell me what I need to know. I was sharing with my local dealer how I was blown away by a Wadia 850 that I auditioned from his store a number of years ago. But financially it was just out of reach and I couldn't buy... | |
| Arcam FMJ 23 vs modded Oppo ChazroLocal dealer claims an Exemplar modded Oppo will impress me. I just learned he has a used modded 95 coming into his store that I plan to audition. I'll have a comparison for you then. I agree that the Arcam is a nice player but I have the up... | |
| Record Clamps, which one and why? Captain winters - I understand the added features with the Classic 3 that the Classic 1 does not have, but was there any improvement in sound to justify the extra cost? | |
| Record Clamps, which one and why? Own the Classic 1 and bought a heavy brass TT Weight clamp that looks great on the Classic along with brass Eden Sound bearpaw feet, but I'm back to using the stock VPI clamp. First, the TT weight created an audible chatter that I can only attribu... | |
| Sirius radio quality vs redbook cd player Just returned from an errand in the car and focused on the quality of the SiriusXM and have to say it was pretty good. I don't think it would be fair to place all the blame on the signal. Surely, the car audio system has to be partly responsible. ... | |
| Sirius radio quality vs redbook cd player Have had SiriusXM since I bought my car earlier this year. I've never noticed the inferior sound; but that might be because I'm always singing along with the music in the car. My expectations for quality sound in the car were never high. Whereas w... | |
| Sirius radio quality vs redbook cd player Bummer. I was hoping I'd hear nothing but glowing praises of SiriusXM. My system is currently down while I hunt for a new amp; but I was looking forward to taking advantage of SiriusXM's wide selection of music when it was up and running again. Wi... | |
| Using protective discs under brass footers Needfreestuff -I too have bearpaws from Edensound - under my VPI. But, not sure I want permanent holes pressed into my nice maple platforms; so, I currently have discs under the bearpaws. But I've not had a chance to see what my new Steve Blinn ra... | |
| Sub Integration Question / Recommendation Xti16 Need to ask - where did your REL finally end up in the room? And did the placement make a significant difference? I've not played with my REL which I set initially in the corner and it's stayed there; so, I'm curious. When I get my amp back ... |
