| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? vinyl *isn't* as convenient as cd, but, when i'm doing serious listening, changing a record every 15-20 minutes is not really a big deal - it's actually a bit of a break to stretch, etc. and, ya, i *do* have to treat my records w/special care, unl... | |
| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? myoussif, definitely do the vinyl thing - it will be better'n your cd's & it's here now. i can't argue w/cardinal's recommendation of the linn - it *will* beat your cd's, but so will a rega planar3/sumiko blu-point/creek fono-stage, imho... ;~... | |
| Best Integrated amp 'around' $1000??? i thought my linn kairn preamp was really nice - unbelievably detailed & accurate, great soundstage width & height, but little depth. so, i went for a tubed preamp. still, i think their integrated is good sound for money - all the linn stu... | |
| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? *definitely* take the plunge! if you can live with buying used, a $2k vinyl set-up will sound better than *any* current cd set-up at *any* price, imho. also, for best cd sound, don't spend mega-bucks on a cd player - invest it into a preamp instea... | |
| Any, good portable CD players? what *i* wanna know is: are there any good cd players of *any* kind? ;~) | |
| Long Live 2 Channel audio......??? i don't know *anything* about surround for home theatre - movies don't interest me, so it's not an issue. but, i feel i have the best of both worlds regarding 2-channel & surround-sound for audio. i have a jvc xpa-1010 surround-sound processor... | |
| Sonic Frontiers, what is going on?? i wondered about this also - perhaps a blunt email to sonic-frontiers asking *them* about it? regards, doug | |
| Best Pre-Amp with Phono Stage i agree w/many of the comments on this list, tho i also suggest trying the cary slp98, & the melos music director. electrocompaniet & pentagon also make excellent fono-stages that can be used w/line-stage preamps. (i'm sure there are other... | |
| Active subwoofer or means of better bass hi drgammel, curtis' rega planar 3 is a turntable, curtis dint tell us what his main speakers are... ;~) regarding dbx, i respect their electronix, but i still feel better-quality would be obtained from a good dedicated x-over & a separate amp... | |
| How much $$ in a TT to equal a midfi CDP i think if you buy used, a $2k rig, complete w/turntable, arm, cartridge, & fono-stage, will smoke *any* digital set-up. sure, digital has less background noise - but also less music. one person's opinion. doug | |
| DIY planar drivers check out newform research - they have full-range speakers *very* competitively priced, or you can buy yust their ribbons for your own bottom-end. check out the reviews of their r645's on audioreview. - these are ~$2250, delivered... doug | |
| Active subwoofer or means of better bass get a pair of vmps subs - the larger, if ya have the room. cross them over w/a marchand xm9 24db/octave active x-over. power the subs w/a good used solid-state amp, like an adcom gfa555/parasound/aragon/rotel/etc. a good active x-over (db systems ... | |
| Talon Loudspeakers read closer, carl - i was poking fun at our buddy phill, commenting on how productive name calling is: NOT!!! ;~) perhaps jon v *did* get it wrong, but i've heard from others that these drivers are one & the same... regards, doug | |
| Give the Oracle an 'arm... hi khrys, i was gonna get the oracle turbo p/s, but from what i've read about the origin-live power supply, i gotta believe it's at least the equal of the oracle-turbo, & at less than 1/5 the price. check out origin-live'w www, & reviews o... | |
| Record Cleaners-Which Work-Which Don't i get good results hand-washing my records w/mild dish soap & luke-warm water. during play, i used to use a watts dust-bug, recently replaced w/a n.o.s. keith monks record sweeper, which has a ground-lead to remove static. i also use a milty z... |
