| Tube or SS DAC/Player with Tube Preamp? Tubes can have VERY different sounds to them. As such, they do offer slightly greater versatility in terms of being able to alter tonal / spatial characteristics much easier than you can with SS gear. Then again, if your not into "tweaking" i.e. t... | |
| Help - my new Classe CAM350s have blown up... Are your speakers with the same cables & preamp working correctly with another amp at this point in time ??? Sean> | |
| Long run speaker interconnects. While i hate to be the bearer of bad news, there are NO speaker cables made that will suit your needs and not result in signal degradation is some form. With that in mind, you need speaker cables that have the following traits:1) Heavy gauge wire ... | |
| New All in One or Just a DAC? Sugar, not to change the subject but what DVD did you have Stan modify for you ? I am looking to do something very similar. In terms of a secondary system, i would stick to the best "one box" that you can get or have modified. You might want to wa... | |
| Best used 5 channels amp. for both music and movies Making lists like this is "fine" IF the rest of the system is taken into consideration. You can list the strong and weak points of each product and then compare these notes with the various aspects of your system. Knowing from others' comments tha... | |
| Conduct on Audiogon Mac, thanks for your well worded and thoughtful post on the subject. Hopefully, Audiogon will take note of your thoughts ( that i think MOST members agree with ) and try to work it into the program. I'm glad that others still feel that this site I... | |
| I've only used homemade cables.But Im ready for an upgrade Other than consistency of construction, "mass produced" cables have NO inherent superiority over "homebrew" cables. With careful selection of parts, proper design and solid construction, it is VERY possible that your "backwoods" attempt at cable b... | |
| Forte Model 7 Opinions I too was looking at these but am not sure that they have enough "oomph" to power the speakers that i had in mind for them. Having owned a Forte 1A ( 40 wpc / 70 wpc Class A ), a Forte 4A ( 50 wpc / 100 wpc Class A ) and still owning two of the mo... | |
| Room Tunes Justarack JR, any info? If this is the one that i think it is, Justlisten snagged it for a REALLY good price. In terms of the stability, i see NO problem with these or other threaded rod racks so long as they are properly assembled. This means making sure that the rack i... | |
| Conduct on Audiogon Mac, i have to applaud your response. While i agree with you in principle, Audiogon has to draw the line somewhere as to what constitutes a "deal" or "transaction". Otherwise, i could post negative feedback about you for literally ANYTHING and it ... | |
| Conduct on Audiogon You'll find out that it takes all kinds to make the world go round. His "10 minutes to respond" is QUITE ridiculous to say the least. Chances are, you'll come out better in the long run by NOT dealing with "Mr Impatient". When things "just didn't ... | |
| Which monoblocks for bi-amping? I just saw a pair of Monarchy Deluxe's for sale with the guy asking $900 for the pair ( GREAT price for the Deluxe's ). These do 100 @ 8 and 200 @ 4, sound very warm and smooth and would probably compliment your SF amps. Can't remember which site ... | |
| Insurance On Equipment I'll soon find out what is involved in specifically covering all of my "gear". I'm in the process of documenting ( via video tape ) and itemizing all of my major belongings for insurance purposes. Once this is done and i have itemized everything, ... | |
| Buy a DAC or buy an SACD player? I'll try to even out the count here. So far, it looks like MSB is winning : )Honestly though, i would go for a REASONABLY priced DAC at this point in time. With that in mind, i prefer the CAL Alpha or Sigma over the MSB's. While it is a matter of ... | |
| Sound proofing listening room You have to look at the room / system as a "whole". Don't jump into anything as you may end up wasting your money or having to re-do it later.If your floor beams / joists are exposed ( unfinished with no ceiling ), THICK fiberglass insulation is y... |
