| NAIM Alternatives-from people who have switched. Only briefly heard an old nait, but I own a Densen b-100. Many in the UK have replaced Naim pre-power with Densen 200/300 and prefer the result. The only US dealer is in NY state, unfortunately. The densen has naim timing but better imaging and tr... | |
| Best Small Speakers Spendor s3/5 sound nice on the wall. That said wall mounting (or very close proximity to the rear wall) is such a sub-optimum position for imaging I would not spend more than $500 for wall mount speakers myself.I'd remove any rear-ported monitors ... | |
| Redbook: only 1/4 of the master tape??? Here's a really good papaer from Meridianhttp://www.meridian-audio.com/w_paper/Coding2.PDFThe summary is that redbook CD can produce very good quality sound when done properly (with correct dithering in particular). The problem is not redbook CD, ... | |
| Europeans vs. the U.S.A. As a brit living in the US I have noticed that US audiophiles seem much more obsessive-compulsive than the UK ones ... obsessed with obtaining perfection. On the other hand many brits will happily buy a complete system at the demo if it sounds "re... | |
| Review: Rega Planar 2 Turntable I'm afraid I don't get out much these days ... I haven't heard anything beyond mine and a friend's system in the last couple of years ! | |
| Review: Rega Planar 2 Turntable Have you ever compared the dl-110 with the dl-160. Many in my home country (UK) claim it's 95% as good for much less money. | |
| Any reccomendations for a CD burner? Dmitry ... I think you get two different audiences. If the poster wanted to archive LPs to CDs with optimum sound quality then maybe a multi-thousand dollar ADC is required, or the alesis. However if they just want to listen to LPs on a discman, i... | |
| Very cheap rega p2/p3 tweak Sorry for not reading carefully enough .... and for having "acryllic platter" on the brain. It's a hot topic at present, though I'm not convinced it's worth the money.I have read of at least one person who has housed the motor in a separate asseml... | |
| Very cheap rega p2/p3 tweak "The motor being stuck to the bottom of the table does seem to be the weakest link. But dampening around it seems less effective than finding a way to separate the motor from the plinth"Agreed ... but separating the motor is a lot more work. Perha... | |
| Review: Rega Planar 2 Turntable Check out this tweak. It worked wonders on my planar 3.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1088461138&read&3&4&Great review .. I'm interested in trying the Dl160 when my Linn K9 dies. I used to use a Rega Super Bias, ... | |
| Any reccomendations for a CD burner? Another interesting option for the PC route is the M-audio Transit. This is an A/D convertor in with a USB interface for only $100. It performs up to 24/96 conversion and acts as an A/D or a D/A.That said I would imagine a standalone to be much si... | |
| Very cheap rega p2/p3 tweak Just to refresh the post, since I posted it later yesterday afternoon, and it has already slipped off the 12 hr activity. | |
| Audio's Most Enduring Products. Rega Planar 3.Spica Angelus ... wish they were still in business.Just sneaking in, built in 1995 my Densen B100 would cost a lot of money to upgrade. It's a shame Densen have such a low profile in the US. | |
| TV's... what does the typical audiophile have? 27" Magnavox. It mainly shows Teletubbies, Wiggles, and Sesame Street for our daughter. For some inexplicable reason it automatically turns off whenever a Barney tape is loaded in the VCR :-) | |
| Changing to less expensive gear. "The implication is that more expensive gear does not provide better sound".I think this is not the implication. Rather, I think that the implication is that wise choice is more important than a large wallet, and that more expensive is not necessa... |
