| Integrated amp with mc-phono. Densen B100 with optional MC phono card added would be under this budget. I own one (without the MC card) and I like it a lot. However I know from your posts you have a pretty nice system so I'm not sure if it would be up to your standards. Also t... | |
| $150 Transport anyone? I'm interested. However, I don't like throwing stuff away and value longevity / repairability (for environmental reasons more than economics). How much would it bump the cost to put a really good quality CD mechanism in there ? I like the philips ... | |
| SEPT 11? Being an aetheist/humanist I cannot pray. However I use my reflections of the tragic loss to try to constantly remind myself to be grateful for what I have and to strive to do whatever I can in life to make this world a better place for others. I ... | |
| Speakers for Rock I'm surprised noone mentioned that B&W CDM9s are a league higher than rotel separates. Rotel makes good stuff, but not in the same league as CDM9s.I'd be careful to make sure that you audition the speakers with the amp that you'll be driving t... | |
| little known musicians we should hear Paul Weller's solo albums (since 1990).I like a lot of Jam songs and some Style council, but his solo albums are really far and away his best material. Poignant lyrics, great melodies, and good musicianship.He's well known (revered) in the UK, but... | |
| Review: Audio Note DAC 3.1 Balanced DA converter thanks for the response. I'm moving back to England next year so I'll try to demo one when I'm there. I'll only be batting at the zero level due to exhorbitant house prices (here and there) and a 1 year old to look after.Sean | |
| Review: Audio Note DAC 3.1 Balanced DA converter I have read reviews of the Audio note DACs which say that, due to their high output impedance they may not work well with amplifiers with an input impedance less than 50k ohms. Since my integrated has a passive preamp with an input impedance of on... | |
| An upfront and intimate player HI Dennis, I have never heard this player, but I thought I'd mention it since it seems to be all the rage in the UK right now for precisely the sound you're asking for :Naim CD5. Apparently much better than previous Naim players, very dynamic and ... | |
| Queen any one ??? I have one remastered (Hollywood) copy of "News of the world" (my fav. album). However I have to say that my 15 yr old vinyl copy sounds better ... not necessarily higher fidelity, just better. Some of my music just doesn't sound right on CD (esp ... | |
| How old is too old ?.... 16yrs is really way too old. Go buy new ones immediately. There, that's what you wanted to hear.If I were you I'd listen to some new B&W and Kef reference (amongst others) and decide whether it's worth it. | |
| Speakers for Rock I once auditioned B&W DM603 and I thought they were fantastic rock speakers, but a little bit unrefined for classical. They would partner well with less expensive electronics such as NAD, Rotel, Creek, and would probably be a lot of fun. I bet... | |
| Do I need a subwoofer for my audio physic sparks? How big's the room ? What's the speakers' efficiency. 60w should be enough for small/medium rooms. A quality amp shouldn't be breaking up unless you're playing very bass heavy music very loud. Something may be broken.A subwoofer won't help in your... | |
| A question for ACI Titan LE2 Sub owners ? With any subwoofer the placement for best bass loading (most even response) may not coincide with the placement for best imaging from your monitor speakers, especially in a small room. Additionally the monitor speakers may not be at an optimum hei... | |
| Audio as a hobby Lots of cyclists. Me too. I give another vote for CroMo steel. Good old Reynolds 531 ... comfy, light, stiff enough, repairable, lasts for years.I think too many cyclists these days are carried away with gear. I always remember doing the time tria... | |
| What's better 100w class a or 200w class ab? I've always preferred the approach of 1) listen2) try to use the theory to explain the differencesrather than the other way around. If you do it in the other order then it's too easy to overlook something that might render your theory inapplicable... |
