| Simple Question. Simple Answer? dekay, carl is right - if yer gonna need a second set of cables for yer bi-amp set-up, yust get 'em now & double-up both ends at yer amplifier - ewe should notice an improvement. i tried this for one of my electrocompaniet amps when the other ... | |
| Bel Canto DAC vs. Perpetual Tech P3A? ok all ewe bel-canto lovers, i have no experience w/this, but bruce wenger, a local toob-roller & equipment mfr (czech out his www: http://www.bws-tube.com/), sez he has a mod for the bel-canto dac that puts it into the $4k+ performance catego... | |
| Best very small Speakers (at any price)? don't forget to check out the proac tablette 2000 signatures or the response 1sc. i tink the 1sc's are a li'l nicer, but also a li'l bigger. both much nicer than the totems, imho. doug | |
| Any Decent Sounding Multiple CD Players? my nad cd-changer retailed for $500 & i got it as a demo unit for $350. i a-b'd it in my system w/an alchemist nexus ($1700 single-cd player) & there was absolutely no difference. (cary & melos preamps, marchand x-over, meret re monito... | |
| Relief? The New Digital Players dekay, i can unnerstand yer feelings, not wanting to start over. but, if ya do, ya mite wanna try the gnu musical fidelity stuff. while i've not directly heard it, it *has* gotten outstanding press, especially at its price-point. and, ewe *are* fa... | |
| Relief? The New Digital Players hi dekay, i know there hsa been some contentiousness about this on another thread, but what preamp are ewe using? it's possible, that upgrading your preamp another $1500 instead of upgrading your cd-player another $1500, might give ewe an overall ... | |
| Aleph-3 Questions nelson pass sez that the aleph-3's input impedence is 23k-ohms, not 10k-ohms. he sez it's their balanced amps that have 10k-ohms impedence. so, using a preamp w/2k-2.4k-ohms seems it's right on the edge of what may or may not work. (mr pass *did* ... | |
| Which track do you demo to your friends? whatever they find in my selection of albums/cd's that interests 'em... | |
| Best way to clean vinyl ??? heres' another wote for washing w/soap-n-water. this, in combination w/a watts dust-bug, recently replaced w/a keith monks record-sweeper, has always worked yust fine for me. doug | |
| Top Ten Tube PreAmp of all time? this is kinda silly, really - who has compared even more than a *handful* of all these preamps? and, they will perform differently in in different systems. that said, i will totally ignore it, & cast my wote for the melos music director - simp... | |

| 3-D Imaging: How?? the room *is* the single most important piece of audio equipment, imho! ;~) in your case, it's *especially* important to get it right cuz 12x13 is on the small size. there *are* some speakers designed for nearfield listening, but i've no experienc... | |
| Aleph-3 Questions rogue audio doesn't put the output impedence spec in their 99 preamp manual. at least it wasn't in the manual that came w/*my* 99... which is why i tried crossing the 99's outputs w/differing resistors. as i previously said, a 2.2k-ohm resistor au... | |
| Preamp with deep soundstage suggestions here's my recent experience. i was using a linn kairn w/the latest slimline briliant power supply, & it was excellent in all areas, except depth. i'm using meret re monitors, biamped w/a pair of electrocompaniet amps; crossed-over at 60hz w/a ... | |
| 3-D Imaging: How?? i'd definitely recommend getting heavy fabric drapes for your window between the speakers. also, how far are ewe from the back wall? w/the speakers out 4.5' in a 12x13 room, i imagine yure pretty close - get some highly-absorbent sound treatment f... |
