| The Shortest Time you kept a new piece for ?? Come to think of it, I did purchase a Magnum Dynalab MD-208 ''Class A'' Recommended component. It apparently had a super tuner AND a top notch electronics amp by Sim Audio. Turns out this ''Class A'' item had the lower economy Celeste parts from S... | |
| Best Values and worst values in SS and tube amps ? In this audio world of $ 2,000.00 interconnects, $ 4,000 cartriges, and $ 10,000 room treatment equipment, not counting the expensive tweaking toys, this is an expensive hobby, and the opportunity for spending money in a less-than-wise manner abou... | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. This ones easy. In order of priority:1. A bottle of Murine to clean your ears 2. Speakers! Which sound better? A ordinary speaker driven by a Mark Levinson? or an EXTRAORDINARY speaker driven by a NAD 3020 and a good source? | |
| Which SS amps sound like a tube amp? You must ABSOLUTELY give a listen to amplification by Electrocompaniet, the ''tubiest'' solid state in my opinion ! Even if it means not getting up there in the 200 watts range! | |
| Best Values and worst values in SS and tube amps ? Just for the record, I don't think Aronov are bad amplifiers. It's just that in my humble opinion they are not as good value as others. On the value ladder, it's just that the top rungs dot not belong to the Aronov. My personnal experience with th... | |
| Best Values and worst values in SS and tube amps ? OK, some explanations from the Thread initiator!!!I guess I am being somewhat critized here for my immensely personnal biases. Fair enough. This thread is intended for the Audiogoner with the following profile. And in my book this means (again, hi... | |
| Is $18,000 enough for a high end HT? Try this...don't laugh now.$ 200.00 JVC H/T receiver.$ 500.0 Wharfedale Diamond speakers all around.$ 1,000 Epson 30 projector$ 8.00 A screen-size part of a wall painted in ceiling bright white paint.A 100.00 Panasonic DVD$ 50.00 worth of cables, ... | |
| Transport Recommendations Please. No question that the S7700 should outclass the Rega as a transport, because of the superiority of the DVD tacking and the copper-clad tank-like build. Not even close.cheers! | |
| What's the best preamp for under 1000 I think a used Sonic Frontiers Line 1 is a good choice. It is not as transparent as the Placette (but almost) BUT, you get ALL the features one could possibly want in this price range and more. A cool, round aluminium remote. H/T loop, phase inver... | |
| Sonic Frontiers pre Line 2 :off or stand by I used to own a Line 1. Sonic Frontiers tech dept advice: Leave it on standby at all times! | |
| +++Magnum Dynalab MD-208 Reciever+++ I had this receiver once for a week on loan by the dealer. Very much disapointed. It's amp section is the ''economy line'' Celeste from Sim Audio, the same found in the Celeste 5080 integrated ( now ''rebadged'' Moon I-3, shame on you SIM, as it d... | |
| Need inexpensive power line conditioner guidance. Try some pug-in Quiet-Lines. Inexpensive and a real ear-opener. | |
| Sony DVP9000es Audio Settings To Flemke: Where have you found bad review? I have found many great ones, most of them in fact, where are the bad ones? | |
| Help please pre-tuner as a stand-alone tuner ??? Thanks for the help. Connecting the pre-out to the line in of the tube integrated yields lesser quality sonics than the tape out jacks on this same pre-amp. Sure, the pre-amps remote can be used to control the integrated, but it's not worth it son... | |
| Help please pre-tuner as a stand-alone tuner ??? Thanks for your help guys, it's a puzzling question. The idea of having at least the on-off feature through the pre-amp is nice BUT...as for the integrated plugged in to the pre-amp , seems I would just be routing the power through unnecessary sta... |
