| I would like to hear from ex-Linnophiles hi emil,while i woodn't consider myself a linnie, or an ex-linnie, i *did* own a kairn preamp for several years. it was really nice - great ergonomics, detailed, accurate, transparent, wide & high soundstage, dynamic - but not enuff depth. i w... | |
| The best Cdp that have volume control carl, please don't misunderstand me - i'm not picking on ewe or yer cd-player - my comments about a cd-player sounding better run thru a good (tubed) preamp apply to *all* cd-players - yers yust happens to be one of 'em. of course, i'm not so obst... | |
| Martin Logan Aerius with subwoofer ????? i would try a pair of vmps' subs - as large as yer room will take, & be sure ya get all the awailable options. use marchand's deluxe version of their xm-9 crossover; its flexibility in plugging in different x-over points, 24db/octave slopes, s... | |
| Oracle Delphi Power supply hi stella design,i replaced the power supply on my oracle w/origin-live's dc power supply, & i'm very happy. it wasn't so straight-forward adapting it to fit the 'table, but it wasn't *too* bad, and origin-live's email support was wery good &a... | |
| The best Cdp that have volume control there's a resolution audio cd50 that's yust been listed for $1650 on audiogon, if anyone's interested. it *is* a nice sounding unit, regardless of whether or not *i* think it's not worth it spending that much money on a cd-player... ;~) and carl,... | |
| The best Cdp that have volume control i'm sorry carl, your argument yust duzzent hold water - yew wood have to try a cd player thru a quality preamp in order to determine whether or not it improves the sound - at least for *one* evening... and, i'm not interested in winning any browni... | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword cornfedboy, the alfa digest is actually quite a civilized mailing list - sure, ruffled feathers once in a while, but never anything like that which takes place here. the pantera-digest is actually a bit worse than the alfa-digest, but still doesn'... | |
| Pre-amp or Pre-pro,, which one to get ? rockvirgo, ewe are correct, but the preamps w/the processor-default function allows the processor's controls to operate the main 2-channel speakers. a bit more conwenient, i'd think.doug | |
| The best Cdp that have volume control take it easy, carl. my opinion, & that of my brother-in-law, are as equally informed as yours - to our ears - which is what's important, imho. our systems are *also* "splendid", in "correctly treated rooms". who cares if you have listened to r... | |
| Frequency Spectrum Analyzer Software hi abstract7, re: using equalizers on a hi-res system, i'm only talking about not using these *cheapie* equalizers. but, the pink-noise generators are useful for adjusting your current bass eq, &/or x-over adjustments. this is very useful for ... | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword my 164, w/~165k miles on the clock, has prolly been the worst, maintenance-wise, but it's still not bad. and, the only non-normal-wear failures have usually been parts that have *bosch* written on 'em. the gtwe6, w/150k, has been amazingly trouble... | |
| The best Cdp that have volume control richards is right - listen & decide for yourself. my brother-in-law also auditioned the cd55 & found it no better than the cd50, if anything, the cd50 was a bit smoother, he said. i haven't heard the cd55, so i have no personal experience.... | |
| Frequency Spectrum Analyzer Software i have a cheap adc equalizer/spectrum analyzer - it includes a 10-band equalizer, pink noise generator, and microphone. it has been helpful for tuning/placement of my system, which includes an active crossover & subwoofer system. i think i pai... | |
| Pre-amp or Pre-pro,, which one to get ? there's lotsa 2-channel preamps that have pass-thru for surround, which defaults the pre's controls to your processor when yure partaking of that dreadful movie-watching biz... ;~) when doing what ya *should* be doing, which is listening to music,... | |
| Thanks for advice on smooth amp! a cheap fix would be to use a z-man ase tubed buffer-stage. this was the only way i could listen to cd's on my system, prior to getting a tubed preamp. (musical fidelity also made a similar product). these show up on the used market for ~$100. i'm... |
