| Personal amp evolution First 'real' amp was a Rotel RA 820. Then came a Mission Cyrus One, a NAD 317 with an Rotel RQ970 phono-pre, then came a self built Class A power amp/Musical Fidelity X-Pre, X-LPS and X-PSU combination. Then the Musical Fidelity's changed into an ... | |
| B&O Beovox M70's - Any experience? In die B&O's worden Vifa en Seas-units gebruikt. Da's goed spul!Enne.... als we als die mensen hier moeten wegjagen zijn we nog wel even bezig! :) | |
| B&O Beovox M70's - Any experience? Zuid-Afrika? Die 100's zijn nogal zeldzaam, maar de 70 schijnt niet mis te zijn. Succes! | |
| Tweaks and upgrades that aren't gimmicks More music, whether lp's, cd's, sacd's, whatever, will make any system better. | |
| B&O Beovox M70's - Any experience? I do know the M100, the bigger brother. Great, but with a few simple tweaks it gets better. I'm not a big believer, but change the bellwire inside. And update the filtercomponents, especially the capacitors, which, after 30 years, might not be per... | |
| Blown Threshold S/300 Stasis II I own the S/300 and it's one of the finest pieces of equipment I've heard. Sure there will be better amps, but this one's a keeper. | |
| Does anyone know of the Sphinx Project 16 The 16 is great sounding but also breaks down (and expensive) a lot. If you got a good'un, it's magic. If you got a faulty one, it will keep on breaking down. So it's a risk since the 16 is no longer being made. There is, however, a US distributor... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? My favorite so far is a pair of Tannoy's Dual Concentric speakers, a DIY project. This comprises some hefty 15" DC unit, a Tannoy supertweeter and some extensive outboard filters in a huge cabinet. Sound is absoluty amazing, closest thing to a liv... | |
| MY BEST DEAL @Jardo: start eating. A friend gave me a Thorens TD160B with an SME series IIIS arm for free! Only the tip of the Shure M95ED cartridge was broken. But I had a Ortofon MC15 Super II cartridge laying around that came in handy...... Let me know how ... | |
| Has anyone had good experiences with trading? I did it once, or actually, didn't. I wanted to swap amps: a NAD 317 (mine) for a Marantz PM78. We agreed to try them for the weekend, and since the Marantz couldn't handle my speakers the deal was off. Still a positive experience though, as it ga... | |
| Aragon 24K preamp Yep, found what I was looking for. Thnx Ghostrider. | |
| Focal or Blaupunkt Blaupunkt was a daughtercompany of Philips, and here in Europe is hardly available anymore due to reliabilityproblems. Focal is a well-respected speakercompany, which has done some innovative research, turning into very good-sounding speakers. So.... | |
| The Single Piece That Started Today's HIGH END ? I'd say somewhere in the 50's with the introduction of the Quad ESL 57's. Next thing to really rock the hifi-world was the introduction of the Philips CD100 in '81 ('82?). The Meridian remake (MCD100) showed that CD wasn't as perfect as everybody ... | |
| Sony 808ES Integrated The ES-series from Sony, except for their tuners maybe, are excellent value. Well built, good looking and great performance IMHO. I owned a CDP-X559ES, which was built like a tank and sounded great, considering the age. It also played every disc I... | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? I thought I read somewhere in one of Audioari1's postings that this clock 'could alter time'. Nice. If I could make any kind of device that could alter time and reproduce this unit with some kind of massproduction unit, I wouldn't bother with audi... |
