| CD player or DAC ?? I second and third the recommendations for the CAL Icon Mk II. Also, check out the Ah New Tjoeb! CD player for $579 NEW from Upscale Audio. Both these 1-box players are dynamite for the money, and the Icon can be had for under $400 used on Audiogo... | |
| How Do You Clean Your CD's? I have never cleaned a CD, and i've been playing them now for 15 years. I've never cleaned a CD player either. | |
| Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list Sonny Rollins, Way Out West (XRCD is best, but any version sounds great); Rodney Crowell, Houston Kid; Guy Clark, Cold Dog Soup; Van Morrison, Astral Weeks; Bach, Solo Cello Suites, performed by anybody! | |
| Are Vienna Acoustics really this good I have owned the Beethoven's for about 6 months now and cannot be more pleased with the performance, not to mention the gorgeous, slim-line looks (I bought them in Rosewood). I liked them better than the Mahlers. I use them with a REL sub but when... | |
| SACD????? Hi, I own a SACD player (Marantz SA1) but mostly play regular CDs on it with GREAT satisfaction! Super musical, incredible detail, etc. The few SACDs I have don't sound all that much better, if any, to my ear. But I love the Marantz player because... | |
| Your Recommendations Please Christian McBride, Cedar Walton, and Herbie Hancock! The Hancock that is also out on SACD is superb. | |
| Help for girlfriend HT speaker system??? Gallo's are so small and unobtrusive that most anybody and any room can accept them. But I personally have always had great results with B&W's, as big or as small as you want to go. I use the Leisure Monitors for rears right now, and they soun... | |
| replacing Audio Research power chords Call Leonard at Audio Research (phone no. is on their website at audioresearch.com) and ask him. Probably no problem having someone do it for you, but some gear was built w/the integral power cord and ground essential to its operation and you scre... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC-1 MkII arrives soon Hi Ernie, since you've already tried a Harmonic Tech interconnect, buy one of the AC-11 powercords for approx $100. I'm using that on my EMC-1 and LOVE it! My EMC-1 is so pleasing as is that I don't think I will invest in the DAC upgrade, in case ... | |
| Best Mac tube FM tuner: MR67 or MR71?? I recently bought a MR67 on eBay for around $700 and think it sounds incredibly good; I have compared it to Meridian 208 (early 90's), Fanfare FT1A (6 mos old), MD 102 (1 yr old), Marantz 120 and 2110 (mid 70's), and Scott 350B (early 60's) and fi... | |
| Dogs who love music My dog literally howls/screams, whether in pain or ecstasy or empathy or trying to make her own music, I can't tell, whenever any recording w/harmonica comes on at home or in the car. Bob Dylan songs really KILL her, I am hoping she loves the soun... | |
| Spkr cables for ARC VT100MK2 I use Transparent Reference w/my ARC VT100 MKIII and Genesis 500's and think it a great match. However, I have recently changed all my Transparent Ref and Ultra XL interconnects for Ensemble Dynaflux and am seriously considering changing the speak... | |
| Who pays for busted stuff? Hi Jeff, I was recently in an identical situation. I bought a Nak Dragon here on Audiogon, it arrived in perfect cosmetic shape, no obvious damage to the box (like yours, mine was shipped in the original box w/original packing material), but when ... | |
| Which Rack Is Better? Everyone--check out the Sistrum rack by Starsound Technologies (email me for Robert's phone no. in Ohio). There are reviews available also. It is stunning looking and suspends all equipment on top of brass Audiopoints. The rack itself is carved me... | |
