| 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. | |
| Audiophile Changer: Cool or Hopeless Compromise? cw, i am using a retail $500 nad 5-disc cd-changer w/excellent results feeding an art di/o dac that i've done some mods to. i have ~$225 into the dac, & will still be under $300 when i'm finished. the sound is noticeably better than the highly... | |
| SVS or Velodyne retail price on vmps' top-line sub is $700. compare the specs of the vmps larger subwoofer on spl, frequency response, & distortion to that of *any* sub, including rel's top-line $3k model. re: the stratus, i would prefer *no* sub, to the stra... | |
| SVS or Velodyne i heard a rel in my house (strata?) 1-note boom, veiled electronics. i wouldn't trade my two vmps larger subs, marchand xm-9 x-over & 2 adcom gfa555 amps for a pair of rel's top-line subs. my sub's system cost was <$2.4k, btw...ymmv, doug s. | |
| SVS or Velodyne vmps - no x-over, no amplification. you get to choose your own, it will be far higher quality, far more flexible, & the total cost of the set-up will be a fraction of anything sonically equivalent.doug s. | |
| Musical Fidelity and Electrocompaniet power amp i love my electro aw60ftt's, presently used in a vertically bi-amped set-up. completely trouble-free. they replaced an aw75 & an aw100 which i was using horizontally bi-amped. the aw75 i bought new, & it was also trouble-free. the aw100 wa... | |
| Cdr's to play in Res cd 50? i've burned cd's for my brother-in-law's r/a cd-50 & he plays 'em w/no problems. sorry, no ideas why yours doesn't work...perhaps you could try a different cd-burner?doug s. | |
| Comparing amps... the magnum-dynalab receiver has a sim audio amp-n-pre in it; perhaps you want to get feedback regarding these... my brother-in-law has an md208 driving a pair of proac 1/5's that's very nice, but personally, i'd get separates, cuz i think you can ... | |
| Melos MA333 Reference upgrade worthwhile from MAR dra, the alps *was* the "upgrade" for the old photentiometer. while still a nice pot, it doesn't sound as good as the photentiometer, but it's reliable. m.a.r. is considering developing a newer, more reliable version of the photentiometer, but it ... | |
| Is there a better deal than the AT OC-9 at 200? i guess needle-dr raised the price of the ortofon mc25-fl, since i got mine, at $225. still, i tink it's a great deal, even at $250. needle-dr recommended it to me over the at oc-9, when i was trying to choose... but, i haven't heard the oc-9, so ... | |
| How do you improve bass response in a null? hi ken, as each of these subs has different amplification & crossover electronics, i'm not sure what the best solution would be, for you to run a stereo pair. i suggest you try to match up the two subs that have the most similar cross-over poi... | |
| Which cable will reduce harshness of CD player? i know there's a lot of "cable controversy". i agree that cabling can have a sonic impact on a system. however, i also agree w/those who say cabling should not be used to try & correct any perceived system deficiencies. get equipment that soun... | |
| How do you improve bass response in a null? run a pair of subs in stereo. easier to get a more natural low-frequency soundstage, & easier to set up to avoid room nodes, imo. added benefit is much cleaner sound, due to much less distortion for the same spl. especially important if you're... | |
| Which cable will reduce harshness of CD player? ase z-man will do the same thing as a musical fidelity x-10. this was the only way i could tolerate cd... until i got a tubed preamp! ;~) killer cd upgrade, for less than the cost of the i/c's you're considering, is the art di/o adc/dac. check the... |
