| Is there a monitor speakers with just one driver? Hey, I thought you were going on a financial diet w/no more upgrades for 2 years! | |
| First results: Valhalla---Ensemble. Sugarbrie: I thought the weeks-long break-in period resulted in greater detail and dynamics, maybe because the background got blacker, more silent! The dynamics increased because the softer sounds were more audible, increasing the range of sounds ... | |
| How about the older CAL CD players? Correction: Lakefrontroad's thread is on other kinds of CD players. It's another guy's thread on the Delta transport. Anyway, it's informative. | |
| Boulder 1060 - Amp for Life ?? When I bought a Goldmund Mimesis 29 for $13,000 new, from my dealer, I could only justify the expenditure because I convinced myself, after weeks of mulling and listening and trying to foresee the future, that it would be the last amp I'd ever own... | |
| First results: Valhalla---Ensemble. I have been using Ensemble products for about a year now, and YES they take 100 hrs or more to break in! I thought they sounded very good when I first got them, but after about 6 weeks, and after 3 months in the case of the Isolink power transform... | |
| What is a good online retailer for XRCD's, etc. Music Direct at amusicdirect.com | |
| How long did you wait for your next upgrade? Hi Marakanetz (keep thinking it's Marrakesh, any relation?),I once went about 2 1/2 years without touching anything. This was with my B&W Matrix 801s, British Fidelity A-3 amp (looked and heated like a black brick oven, pure class A and more t... | |
| CD Scratch Repair Kits I bought a kit on this site for $20 or so called "CD Wipeout" that completely repaired an XRCD disc that was skipping on the last track. Under the light I could see a small mark on the outside of the disc. I followed the instructions on the Wipeou... | |
| HT - Which processor Acurus 125x5 (available for about $800 in ads on this site) and Acurus Act 3 (available for under $900) have been providing great sound, great user-friendliness, great controls, and great flexibility for me! I paid several hundred dollars more for... | |
| REL strata III vs Spendor Sub 3, which to use with S3/5? I agree completely w/Sugarbrie--the REL's are the most musical subs on the market. They are by far the best for 2 channel audio. For HT, you can get away with a lot less than a REL. I have not heard the Spendor subs, but their speakers, floorstand... | |
| DH labs Cables/Interconnects Hi I've been using both the BL-1 Series II and Air Matrix interconnects for several months now in various parts of 3 different systems, side by side with my other "boutique" and much more expensive cables and think they perform very, very well--es... | |
| Which HT Receiver would you buy? I'll just throw in my 2 cents here and say that after owning two HT receivers (an Adcom set of power amps and Pro Logic processor, replaced by a high end Pioneer Elite receiver), I bought the Acurus 125x5 (available now for $800 or less, on Audigo... | |
| What would you do differently? Hi Dave, thanks for the offer for my hand, but as Justlisten pointed out, I'd better stay single so there's never any occasion for dividing up the property! As far as listening to the 1SC's on all the different amps, I've only owned them since I'v... | |
| Help i'm lost... what cd player to buy ?? Jinn, stay away from the SACD route. Unless you spend megabucks, and are willing to listen to the same 10 or 15 discs all the time, it is not worth it. Get as good a CD player as you can afford, if you're looking for new then I second the Cambridg... | |
| Isolation accessories for heavy amp? I use a Sound Anchor stand w/Audiopoints on the stand and between my ARC VT100 MkIII and the stand. On my ARC CA-50, I use Black Diamond Racing Cones screwed into the Black Diamond pucks underneath, sitting on a Salamander Synergy stand. On my Acu... |
