| Electrostats Shootout at 4000 Corral you may be making a big mistake if you fail to check out the vmps rm-40 ribbon loudspeakers. as said before, they have been compared favorably to speakers costing more than three times their price. specifically the m-l prodigy & soundlab a1. a... | |
| Electrostats Shootout at 4000 Corral these retail for $4600 ($3800 if ya can install the drivers yourself). they're hybrid ribbons, w/carbon-fibre woofers. they just won best sound of show at the recent ces. many folks have compared then favorably w/the ultra-spendy soundlabs, & ... | |
| Looking for an amp for my Proac 1.5's. proac usa recommends the tubed arc preamps (ls-16, ls-25), w/a solid-state arc 100.2 amp... a cheap amp fix would be to send your adcom to stan warren, whose mods are supposed to turn these into killer amps. but, definitely get a tubed preamp, eve... | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog ken,don't let psychic fool ya - dint he mention that he just ordered a trough to further tweek his 1200? ;~)ya, i *am* a bit obsessed w/the di/o - after 20 years of digital, i can *finally* enjoy the music, much in the same way i enjoy my analog r... | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog psychic, have yer buddy mikey try a modded art di/o. at $200-$350, depending on who does the mods, he shouldn't have to wait for something used... may not get him all the way there, but it will likely get him a lot closer... ;~)doug s. | |
| vmps, art d/io, & boldercables.com steve, there seems to be a trade-off w/the toob in the circuit - you're correct that it draws power from the p/s, but it also reduces elec'l leakage (i'm sure this isn't the correct technical term!) from the adc side into the dac. best bet is to t... | |
| Two quick questions about VMPS will, i only had experience w/the rel strata - cheap by rel standards, but still more expensive than the spendiest vmps. i'd rather have *no* sub in a music system, that that one... i don't do h-t at all, & vmps is my choice for a music-only s... | |
| vmps, art d/io, & boldercables.com joe, you're correct that the tube warmth adjustment led's don't work w/o the tube. but, as the tube is in the adc circuit, these lights are meaningless when used as a dac only... folks have thought a possible reason why the unit may sound better w... | |
| vmps, art d/io, & boldercables.com sorry joe, i have no problems here... what is it doing? you may also want to go to the yahoo site set up for diomods; lotsa technically-oriented folk there, who may be able to help...doug s. | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog jimbo3 - *thank* you!!! ;~) perhaps pbb's point to waxcylinder (those cylinders sound *much* better tha 12" vinyl, doncha know?) is: *don't bother* to get into analog. the main argument *against* analog, (which doesen't hold much water for me and ... | |
| GRASS ANYONE? david, lotsa good stuff here. "will the circle be unbroken" & "old & in the way" are definitely vinyl classics. and ya ya *gotta* get that skip-hop-wobble one - it's a killer. jerry douglas is on it, btw - not bela fleck. also, another gre... | |
| Warm, smooth cd with good bass under 1700 used ok hi scott, i know ya already made a purchase, but i think ya need to spend another $350... ;~) i own an alchemist nexus, & have compared it to the resolution audio cd50 - it's like tryin' to split hairs to find differences between 'em... *but*... | |
| Two quick questions about VMPS do a search for vmps on the a-gon forums search page... i've posted once or twice about my high regard for their subs. ;~) i think you'll have to spend 3 times or more retail, to put together a subwoofer system that will come close to a system bas... | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog pbb, my simple-to-set-up analog rig cost me yust under $2k, cartridge included. platter is a couple pounds, motor tucked snugly underneath, driven by a simple $2 belt from mcm electronics. it will provide a more musical experience than any digital... | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog js - go w/the lowest possible output your fono-stage can support - this will generally give the best sound, but there *are* nice-sounding hi-output cartridges... how's *that* for advice? ;~) enjoy, doug s. |
