| REL G2 or JL Audio F112 ..thoughts for 2 channel Garebear,Regarding your assumption: Not necessarily! The Rel has a separate .1 LFE input that you can connect directly to an AV system for for HT and still use the high level connection for music. There are also separate volume controls for these ... | |
| Selling dispute. Please comment. Rrog:I must take exception to the points you make in your post. First, you state that "... the first thing that may enter the buyer's mind is, what else is the seller lying about." In order for a lie to occur there must be a misrepresentation of t... | |
| Best $1,500-ish New or Used Floorstander - I have seen three or four ads in the past two years for Aerial 10T's for around $1700. In my estimation the 10T's are as good as any (and better than most!) speakers mentioned in this thread! | |
| Good speakers under 10K. The Joseph Pulsars are indeed very good but will sound best when paired with a good Subwoofer. Two others (used) to consider in your price range are Thiel 3.7's and Verity Audio Parsifals. For an absolute screaming bargain you can pick up a well m... | |
| Need your recommendations for amazing recordings I'm glad someone mentioned Eva Cassidy. You might also try Anne Hampton Calloway's "Blues in the Night". A little farther out but very good female vocalist is Dave's True Story. I recommend there "Sex Without Bodies" and "Unauthorized". | |
| Has anyone had this problem with their Anthem CD-1 I recently sold my CD-1 after 13 years of highly reliable use. During that time the only problem I had was with burned CD's. Some brands (e.g. Blue face HP CDR 52x 700MB data,) would not play at all after being properly burned. My experience with ... | |
| Alt Country/Folk, American roots I "second" the Tom Russell nomination! You may also like James McMurtry and Delbert McClinton. If you lean just a little to the Country side give Billy Joe Shaver and Ray Wylie Hubbard a listen. | |
| Wadia 121 Dedoding Computer? I heard the Wadia 121 last night at my local dealers computer audio presentation. All of the equipment was high end except for the DAC's (Rockport Miras, Electrocompaniet Nemo amps, Electro pre, and top of the line Transparent cableing all around.... | |
| Any way to reduce pre-amp noise floor? I called CJ today. They said the issue was most likely caused by the noisy Electroharmonics 6922 (stock) tube. They recommended a Telefunken as a replacement. As long as I'm tube rolling, what else would make sense? I think I'll start another thre... | |
| Any way to reduce pre-amp noise floor? Thanks again to all who have responded. (Sonic Beauty, reostat is not the culprit!) Although I plan to give CJ a call to get their take on the noise, for now, I'm going on the assumption that the noise is of the "normal, naturally occurring" varie... | |
| Any way to reduce pre-amp noise floor? Thanks to all of you who have responded. Here is some more information to address your questions and comments. (1) I am running a Balanced Power Technology (BPT) CPC power conditioner with H-20 filtering. (2) All of my power cords have been upgrad... | |
| Advice re: Entry level CD Player I think used is the way to go to optimize your cost/performance ratio. Probably lots to choose from in your price range. Although these are older models, here are three that I can highly recommend: (1) Anthem CD-1 ($1700 MSRP, tubed output stage, ... | |
| 2012 Discoveries Bizango1,That's very interesting! My latest copy of Stereophile (February) has a total of 59 record reviews. I'll just bet you that some audiophile in your neighborhood intercepted your magazine and ripped out this year's "Records To Die For" sect... | |
| guitar solos where less is more At 9 minutes and 11 seconds Stevie Ray Vaughn's Tin Pan Alley (Couldn't Stand the Weather CD) is the most awe inspiring slow-smouldering guitar solo you have ever heard! Too bad he did not employ this technique more often.I went to an Electrocompa... | |
| Oppo Nuforce BDP-93NE I see that a new player has entered into the the Oppo 95 modding fray! Audiogon user name "Ricevs" has two levels of mods for $300 and $500 that are described in his link under the Oppo for sale classifieds. His approach is interesting in that it ... |
