| Melos MA333 Reference upgrade worthwhile from MAR i can't say whether or not this upgrade is worthwhile, but at some point, it is something i will have done to my music-director. what i'd *really* like is for m.a.r. to come out w/a more reliable version of the photentiometer - an amazingly transp... | |
| Recommended phono preamps? i tried the phonomena & was completely underwhelmed - the fono-stage built into my old linn kairn pre was far more musical, while just as detailed & transparent. it had me thinking about a used linto. while i was looking, a couple folks sa... | |
| Is my dealer lying to me? aiwa, huh? i was looking at the possibility of a cheap transport upgrade - after this cheap di/o i got made such an improvement, why not take it to the next level? ;~) doug s. | |
| Anyone familiar with ART DI/O...? brian, whsn i shorted the analog inputs, the tube warmth light stopped working, which is what happens when ya remove the a-to-d chip. i figured the chip can't be getting much signal if the whole circuit is shorted out. this, removing the tube, usi... | |
| Anyone familiar with ART DI/O...? brianw, i shorted out the a-to-d in my di/o by inserting 1/4' fone plug to rca adapters into the analog inputs, & running a wire across the rca inputs...doug s. | |
| Anyone familiar with ART DI/O...? mods i did to my di/o include:schottky diodes, socket for u1 op-amp, w/lt1365cn installed, bypass output caps, change digital input resistor to 75 ohm from 100 ohm. i didn't do the rca jacks, because one of the 1st asylum di/o modders said this ha... | |
| Anyone familiar with ART DI/O...? yup, i'm one of the asylum crazies w/a modded di/o... ;~) straight outta the box, it took my humble 5-disc nad changer to a level of sound that couldn't be matched in my rig by an $1800 alchemist nexus, or a $3k resolution audio cd-50. w/cheap eas... | |
| Will Bel Canto DAC-1 improve EAD CD-1000? not as much as replacing your preamp w/a tubed unit! ;~) if ya still insist on getting a dac, i suggest the ~$130 art di/o, & then spend ~$100 tweaking it. i know of one person who is selling his belcanto dac cuz of the di/o, & several fo... | |
| Is my dealer lying to me? a lot of folks are ditching their pricy outboard dacs in favor of a cheap ~$130 art di/o, w/cheap (~$100) mods. see the audio asylum's digital forum for a nauseating plethora of praise for this dinky thing... ;~) in *my* system, which *is* pretty ... | |
| Best city between these two? kal, you took the words right outta my mouth! ;~) seriously, i couldn't tolerate either city because i can't stand hot humid weather. lots in both places. if i were forced to choose, i'd go for atlanta because its geography is a *lot* more interes... | |
| Subwoofer ratings by Widescreen Review mag i saw this, & was disappointed that vmps was not included. my retail $699 vmps larger sub (a bit more $$$ for their options, which i highly recommend), are so much better than what i've heard at even four times the price... w/vmps you need you... | |
| LP Cleaning Question i yust use mild dish soap, a sponge & luke-warm water. dry w/a soft towel. a zero-stat *does* help keep static down during play. so does a humidifier built-in to the hvac system, to keep humidity at ~40% in the dry winter months. also, a watts... | |
| My system has just received the ultimate insult does this mean i have to sell my prized melos music-director? a boom-box system sounds better? ;~) i'm w/ljgj - i tink she's tryin' to break up w/ya. either that, or she has a great sense of humor, & is pulling yer leg, cuz she thinks it's a h... | |
| Cheap Stuff That Keeps Up? plato, this is funny - i presently am the happy owner of an o-l rb250 & a modified di/o, & i used to use a z-man for cd, but that went away when i got a tubed preamp. :>) gotta disagree about the subs, tho - vmps has true world-class su... | |
| Recommend a good value X-over w/stereo low end marchandelec.com not cheap, but not *too* expensive, compared to the bryston, & at least as good.re: paradigm x30, why not get two, these are cheap, no? or, if you're at all into diy, go here, & brew your own excellent x-overs for a verita... |
