Who R U?
hey dave99, i always loved bluegrass, but never country. then i heard lyle lovett was country, & i have all his albums - does that make me a country fan? ;~) and, re: rogue - i am *not* a rogue basher. i've just heard better, is all... ;~)reg... 
subwoofer comparision
i tried a rel stratus in a big room - one-note-thump. my brother-in-law tried it in a small room (he'd actually purchased it) w/a pair of proac response 1.5's. the soundstage collapsed, & the details were hidden. he sold it after a week after ... 
the rogue audio 99 vs the audible illusions
sorry, no ai info here, but i found the cary slp-98 to be more neutral, more dynamic, & w/better bass extension than a magnum-version of the rogue 99, in my system. (if you're interested in my systems' specifics, see it on audio asylum). but, ... 
VMPS line of speakers
audionet, while i agree that the vmps' don't have the outstanding finish of a proac, piega, or sonus faber, i've seen 'em, even their older pre-ribbon models, & i think *utilitarian* comes to mind - definitely not someting banged out in a base... 
Any audio gifts for Christmas?
slingshot, you definitely got the best present on *this* list! enjoy the music! :>)doug s., i tink my 6-yr old & 10-yr old are finally done knocking over my speakers, & they *love* the toons! :>) 
Any audio gifts for Christmas?
hey david99 - someone up & *gave* ya a tuna? pretty cool. i've also received a *lot* of nice vinyl gratis, from an a-phile & a-gon member - ain't the internet grand? :>)that gft1-a is a real sleeper - it will take a big step to signific... 
Any audio gifts for Christmas?
hi sean,yup, the p-car is lotsa fun. my car-buying habits compare a *lot* to my stereo-buying habits - champagne taste, beer budget! :>) the pantera is the only mid-engined italian exotic i'll likely ever be able to afford. that pedestrian clev... 
Which CD Player /DAC From The Following...
if your present cd-player has digital coax out, i'd get an art di/o for $130 shipped, then spend ~$140 on it to have it tweaked. check the threads on the a-gon forum & on the audio asylum digital forum. this is an outstanding piece - combined ... 
Linn Classik versus Linn Majik
i can't help you regarding the sonics here, but i *can* say i'd be hesitant to buy any amp/pre/tuner that had a cd-player built-in. the rate of advancement is just so great w/digital that the piece will be obsolete in no time - you'll want to eith... 
Any audio gifts for Christmas?
santa got me a new msd electronic ignition for the de tomaso pantera... oops - sorry, wrong kind of music! ;~) seriously, we also got about ten new cd's w/great sounds to throw at the art di/o dac that has totally transformed my digital world.doug s. 
VMPS line of speakers
bioman, i suggest you go to harmonicdiscord.com, a discussion forum where vmps has its own thread for folks interested in the product. brian is very responsive there also...i believe the 52" ribbons are sourced from bohlendeer-graebener, but i'm n... 
Audiophile Changer: Cool or Hopeless Compromise?
cw, any jukebox cd-player w/digital outputs can *still* be used w/an art di/o dac; i still recommend this. search di/o or dio on a-gon and audio asylum's digital forum for more info about it...doug s. 
Phono Stage Question
the two posts above are correct: fono-stage goes into a line input. but the gold aero db45 may very well not have enuff gain, either. 45db is getting borderline for lo-output mc's... you could get a mc step-up transformer for yer klimo's fono-stag... 
Value of Black Widow?
search ebay - both current & completed auctions. they usually go for >$200. elgordo, yer buddy got more $200+ stuff he wants to give away? ;~) doug s. 
Audiophile Changer: Cool or Hopeless Compromise?
aiwa seems like it may be a good mate to my "serious engineering anomaly" art di/o. :>) anyone know if it offers coax digital output, or can be modded by stan warren to do so?thanks, doug s.
