| Can any CDP with coaxial out used as transport? Yup, as long as you have a digital or coaxial output, it can work as a transport. | |
| Keeping Drivers Healthy Some people say you can wipe them with Armor All. Others say that the material can actually become "addicted" to it if you use it too much and actually break down the driver material. In your case, I would almost be tempted to pick up a small can ... | |
| Meadowlark Swift vs. Soliloquy vs. Concertinos I've had almost the identical setup. I got rid of the Meadowlarks cause I couldn't make them sound the way everyone said they should. I much prefered the B&W CDM 1 NT with my audio refinement. Especially for vocals and acoustics. In fact, I'm ... | |
| Plinius 8200 MkII -- best integrated ss amp? The 383 is my pick. Overpriced? Not in my book. Setup and matched correctly, I personally love it. Part of the draw for the 383 is the features it offers. No integrated on the market can compete with its features. I also believe the sound quality ... | |
| How did you hear about Audiogon? Yup, same for me, I was just cruising the web. I did a general search for "high end audio" and came up with this site. I've learned a lot since I've been here. If I remember correctly Audiogon used to be a dealer in Ann Arbor, MI under a different... | |
| Cleaning & polishing speakers & gear Being a woodworker, I typically cringe at hearing everything that people put on their woodwork. If the correct finish is applied, there should be no need for a polish, and in fact, that can break down the finish. A good way (for me) to get rid of ... | |
| What changes would make 60v2's sign A nice integrated would really make a difference. Anthem products seem to do well with paradigm in my experience. The INT 2 is available usually for around 600-700 dollars. Depending on how much you want to spend, you could look at things like a l... | |
| Monitor selection Of the ones you have listed, I've owned the B&W and also the PSB's. B&W's are first rate. Especially when you have the positioning just perfect. The PSB's in my opinion, are terrible. Again, just my opinion. I've heard the Linn, but have n... | |
| Home brew vinyl & stylus cleaning fluids? Rcreations, are you talking about like 600 grit sand paper or even higher, like 1000 grit? Thanks. | |
| Pathos Classic One, new version, any good? I owned the 70 wpc version for some time. I was not impressed. I sold it and went back to my cheaper audio refinement. I agree the Theils could use more power. I wouldn't call the remote full featured, but they did add a source selector on it. I d... | |
| Vienna Acoustics Mozarts are rated 6 Ohms ? ? ? There isn't really too much concern here I don't think. A majority of speakers rarely have a steady impedance. 6 is probably a fairly accurate average or median. Mathematically, if you want to know what your amp puts out at six ohms, you can calcu... | |
| Allison Krauss fans, try this one. I too saw them in a small arena. My favorite band ever. If you just bought the new album. You're missing out. Their first album: "Nickel Creek" is leaps and bounds above the album titled "This Side". | |
| Suggestions for small bookshelf speakers? You can't go wrong with the audio refinement complete powering a pair of B&W CDM 1 NT's. Sound fantastic. Used, that combo can usually be had for about 1350. Leaves money left over for cables, music, etc... | |
| Need help with Speaker selection. Starter System. If you aren't glued to the idea of floorstanding, the Revel M20 is a serious one to consider. I've had 603 and the Revel in my room, and currently own the M20's. The B&W's are okay, but I couldn't get them to sound that great in my room. There... | |
| My 2ch front end. first quality system If you're happy, there is no sense in worrying about what others think. |
