| Best speakers for 2000-USED I second the Vandersteens, you could get the 2's (special edition) or the 3's (used). I have had Vandersteen 2Ce's for a very long time (about 7 yrs), and recently went speaker shopping, looking for something smaller, more precise and with better ... | |
| Aragon 8008bb, Krell 250a or Classe 201 Get the 8008BB, it is much better than the krell and cheaper. Listen and you will agree. | |
| Gryphon Callisto 2200 interesting, have been interested in Grypon for a long time and think it would be a good match. Good idea. | |
| Lambda - What is this feature on CD Players? Come on people! Lambda is the name given by Denon to their D/A converters, something about reducing zero crossing errors or something. I remember this from my low-end days. Here is a link that has a tiny bit of info on this topic. So its not a fea... | |
| Would You Pay to Listen? This is a good idea. Count me in. Especially if you get equipment options that can be set up for you in advance. I am also interested in music selection, a lot of you know a lot of nice sounding CD's in areas I am unfamiliar with and having those ... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? I've got a new girlfriend who could care less about this audio stuff, but we both make good money, and I'm so into it I can't help but explain every new component and theory behind their operation and prices do inevitably come up. I went 5 years w... | |
| Is Genesis out of business? Here is the prior discussion on this topic here at Audiogon.http://audiogo5.iserver.net/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&991781266&read&keyw&zzgenesis | |
| Is Genesis out of business? As usual, AlbertPorter is right on. This is the 2nd time in 8 months that I have seen this thread. Last time I saw it someone from Genesis (not Phil) posted saying that everything was fine. I never liked Genesis since I had to wait 14 hours in the... | |
| What do you think of Nakamichi in general ? I have a lot of experince with the Nak stuff. Had receiver, tape decks, and even the early MusicBank CD Player. I can tell you that the tape decks are incredible, best or near the best (with Revox and Tandberg). I still have an RX-505 and it makes... | |
| Best XM Radio Receiver sub 500 I have seen tuners at Crutchfield. www.crutchfield.com They have the sony and a pioneer, I think. I have listened to Alpine, Sony and Pioneer in demos from XM radio (the van showed up in my neighborhood) but all were through headphones and it was ... | |
| XM Digital Satellite Radio- What's the scoop? The XM radio van came to my neighborhood block party. They had headphones hooked up to what appeared to be an actual broadcasts on actual commercial receivers (sony and pioneer) and it did not sound as pathetic as the stuff I heard previously on t... | |
| Is it possible to remote on a tube amp There is a very expensive power conditioner that I have seen which gradually increases and decreases the AC power when turned on/off (its at audioadvisor.com). So if you are worried about a big voltage spike, this would take care of your concerns.... | |
| Any cheap but good speakers with bass? Under $500 is pretty tough. The only speaker I would recommend is the Infinity SM-??? I think its the SM-150, with a 12 or 15" woofer, mid and tweeter, and its like 93-95 db efficient. These cost more than $500 through ripoff sources like Crutchfi... | |
| I am Not hurting anything right ?? In response to your question, you are not hurting your speakers in the current setup, but you might be hurting your amplifier. Your amp sends out power over two cables to the + terminal, and the wire is shorted out when it gets there, its like con... | |
| Best Preamp w/ Headphone Jack Sonic Frontiers Line 2 preamp, avialable here and elsewhere for under $2K, has a great headphone preamp made by HeadRoom I believe. |
