| Outdoor FM Antennas Used Indoors (Urban) dunno about antenna perf-specialties' "in-tenna", but i got one of their aps-13's on the roof, & it gives great reception in an otherwise completely unlistenable environment. doug | |
| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? imho, a $2k-$4k digital rig will be only marginally better (if at all) than a $500 digital rig, if run thru an excellent preamp. my | |
| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? onhwy61, yure correct - ya don't have to be blind to do blind testing. while i have heard differences between amps, pre's, cables, etc., for reviewing purposes, when lotsa times, there's really a lot of hair-splitting, it would be helpful if there... | |
| Great Sounding New Releases not surprising that the greatful dead cd sounds great - that band was more concerned w/audiophile-type sound quality at their shows than any other band before or since, *period*. no one else has even come close. the g-d even got writen up in s'phi... | |
| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? david99 is rite, the rega tables are excellent - especially for the money. *but*, i got an old oracle, updated to mk-v specs, for the same money as a new p-25. of course, i later spent some more on it for an origin-live modified rega tonearm &... | |
| Need help finding a subwoofer that is... i tried the rel stratus - typical one-note-thump is what i heard. i like a pair of vmps larger subs w/a quality outboard x-over, like the marchand xm-9 deluxe version, & a pair of beefy decent solid-state amps. my entire setup - subs/x-over (b... | |
| Bel Canto DAC 1 Upgrade bruce wenger of http://www.bws-tube.com sez he has a bel-canto mod that will blow away anything up to $4k. dunno anything more about it. but, he also makes some really cool tube-gear... doug | |

| Best Subwoofer(s) for SF Guarneri Homage alexc, get a passive sub - or better still - two (i like my vmps') & an active outboard crossover. i like my marchand xm-9, which is 24db/octave slope, & has a volume control for the x-over setpoint, as well as for low & high pass. x-o... | |
| do tubes rock ?? try a melos music director or ma333 preamp - the gain outta this thing is amazing - my amps, while never lacking for power before, drive my speakers w/a lot more authority w/this nice tube preamp. outstanding dynamics. doug | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? toobgroover - that dsp-1 was the 1st ambient-surround set-up i heard, & i wanted it *bad*!!! a few years later, s'phile reviewed the jvc-unit i now have, & they said it was in another league from *all* the processors awailable at the time,... | |
