| Tubed pre-amp for solid state amp? I've used the CJ PV-12L mated to a CJ SS Amp. Wonderful pre-amp. One of CJ's best kept secrets. It did not get a lot of press. Although I'm currently not using a pre-amp, I do miss the CJ. New, the line stage retailed for $1800. I'm sure that you ... | |
| Amps for Dynaudio Contour 1.3 SE If the 4B-ST is the price point you want to be at, here are three more suggestions: The Blue Circle BC-22, The McCormack DNA-125, and the Belles Hot Rod 150A. | |
| Opinion Conrad Johnson Solid state Amps I owned a MF2300. It is a very powerful, load tolerant amp. The sound is smooth and lush without being syrupy. The pace of the amp was effortless, but just a tad slow. Overall, a wonderful amp. | |
| Recommend CD Player with Volume Control Carl. I wasn't hiding the fact that I own a CD-50 just to be disagreeable with you. You don't merit that kind of attention. My point was, again, that we (music lovers/audiophiles) are never going to hear and enjoy the same things, in music, no mat... | |
| Recommend CD Player with Volume Control It's obvious that you, Carl, are missing the point that I'm trying to make. This is why. I own, and enjoy tremendously, a CD-50! You were so blinded by the fact that I raised the notion of individuality and personal preferences, that it never ente... | |
| Recommend CD Player with Volume Control Carl, read my post again. Of course you will hear SIMILAR things. Just as Ejlif clarified (after you forced him to) that he heard similar things from the CD-50 that you did, it's obvious that he did not hear the SAME things. Your raving passion ao... | |
| Recommend CD Player with Volume Control Remember this guys, just as identical systems would sound very different in different rooms, no two sets of ears will hear the same thing, even if those systems were set up in the same room. There are just too many variables; likes, dislikes, age,... | |
| Goertz cables- any feedback? I'm using the Micro-Purl interconnect. Very good cable for the money. It replaced a Transparent Ultra XL that cost 5x more! No regrets. | |
| Pwer Cord For BAT Pre-Amp and Muse CD? Try the Delta Audio Labs power cords. You will not be disappointed. | |
| Where to buy lead shot Target has a new product out called "heavy metal". According to Target, it's a "carbon/pearlite metal, acoustic damping filler". It's used to fill speaker and component stands. I'm not sure of the cost, but you can find it on their web site: www.t... | |
| UPS COD, Prepare to WAIT Yes, it can take up to 10 days, after delivery, to receive your check if you use UPS. With FED EX, you must first open an account with them to ship COD. It takes two days to establish an account with FED EX. If speed is your main concern, and your... | |
| YBA Audiorefinement/Musical Fidelity A3 I purchased the MF A300 from Audio Advisor. I really enjoyed the sound of it. I just could not get Audio Advisor to send me an invoice/receipt after three weeks of asking. Amp was nice, customer service was poor. I sent it back. | |
| RESOLUTION AUDIO CD50 + WADIA 860x If you have not made a decision yet, don't! IMHO the CD-50 is a better player. However, the new CD55 will be out in a month or so. Michael Nadolny of Resolution Audio states that the following changes have been made: New mechanism with improved re... | |
| Amplifier Suggestions? Take a look at the Belles Hot Rod 150A for $1495. A super amp at a super price. Or, the Blue Circle Audio BC-22. It falls within your budget at $2150. | |
| Mapleshade Recordings Mapleshade recordings are great. I prefer them over most of the XRCD recordings. They sound more natural, IMHO. The King/Bluiett Trio recording "Makin' Whoopie" is the best of the best. This tribute to the great Nat King Cole Trio is stunning. Tra... |
