| Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio) as many know, a wif & a 9 & 5 year-old child tend to take up a lot of time! :>) *other* hobbies i have are cars - currently italian - mostly alfas, plus a pantera, cuz i cant afford a ferrari or lotus v-8. machine-wise, i also love my b... | |
| REGA-VPI JR- LINN- OR ? UNDER $800 hi musikdok,i recently replaced my sumiko premiere ft-3 tonearm w/something a bit more modern, but a steal at the price, imho - an origin-live modified rega rb-250 this mod replaces the internal wiring, and also does structural mods. there is also... | |
| "Sizzling" tweeters at high volume? the focal inverted titanium tweets should be a drop-in replacement - these tweets are what's in my meret re's, & i get no ringing, even at "head-banger" volume levels in a ~25x38 listening room... there was a cheap pair here f/s on audiogon la... | |
| More power "better" hi alun,i tink class-a amps *do* sound more powerful than comparably-rated non-class-a amps - prolly because they put out more current. the proacs would definitely like more power, tho what ya got should be sufficient in a smaller room. the least ... | |
| REGA-VPI JR- LINN- OR ? UNDER $800 musikdok is right that the oracle, w/its three springs, requires adjustment at initial set-up. but, it's not hard, & it stays adjusted once set-up. also, easy to check, w/a built-in bubble level on the suspended subchassis.one of the things or... | |

| Tinnitus anyone? subaruguru,dunno if it'll help yer tinnitus, but adding a humidifier to our hvac system made a great improvement to the air-quality in our house - more even temperatures, less sinus congestion, less dry throat, les static when touching the electro... | |
| Electrocompaniet A100 phil, if i could find an aw75dmb in singapore, i'd be happy to buy it! ;~) electro stuff seems to be more popular in europe & asia than the usa, so ewe should be able to find one if yer really innerested. i like electro stuff a lot...regards, ... | |
| B&W N804 System Upgrade - Cary CD? get a nice tubed pre - for the money, it's the most cost-effective way to get good digital sound. a great pre & a $500 cd player will beat a great cd player run straight-in, everyday, imho, even if the cd-player was designed to be run straight... | |
| Matching pre amp tubes? poulkirk, i paid less than $2k for a nice used tubed preamp. i can't think of anything solid-state anywhere near the price, even used, that would come close to it. the linn kairn solid-state pre i was using before - a wery nice pre for the price, ... | |
| Amplifiers for ProAcs proac recommends audio research ls-16 or ls-25 (w/a-r 100.2 amps). as both of these preamps allow a default pass-thru setting for a h-t processor to control all the speakers, i'd definitely do that... | |
| Speaker Suggestions?/Advice Needed. nomad, proac or dynaudio will give a far more detailed sound than the vandy's or meadowlarks (or even than the totems, imo) - i'd try that, as an alternative before ya commit... but, running yer cd's straight-in may make a truely detailed speaker ... | |
| Wanted: Exceptional preamp w/remote for $2k used, the melos ma-333 or music director is really nice - remote operates only the balance & volume, tho...regarding the creek remote add-on, several years ago, i called audio-advisor ready to order one to go w/my electrocompaniet ec-1... | |
| REGA-VPI JR- LINN- OR ? UNDER $800 wait for an oracle. i got my perfect-condition mk-l for $850, & this included a decent grace tonearm, & shipping from canada to maryland. of course, i now have ~$2k into it w/gnu tonearm, power-supply, & mk-v upgrades... ;~) but, ya do... | |
| Rock and Roll Snobbery ben, this *one* cd, by a reknowned rock legend, is the only one i know about that seems to fit the model of what's being released to appeal to the *gen-x* crowd. not much new pop-music interests me, so i can't say i know one way or the other, whet... |
