| Review: Spectral DMA-50 Amplifier I have owned spectral amps DMA 50, 80, and 90; pres 6, 10, and 12. I was not as impressed with the pres as the amps. Personally I do not like MIT cables. I liked PAD Collossus much more. but I liked Gabriel, Jade and I liked my own (gold plated si... | |
| Wife stepping on speaker wire We're talkingabout a creature that doesn't mind putting up the lid, but resents putting down the seat. I put my cables under a rug, and after time they made a groove in the carpet beneath it. that isn't seen, so not resented, and technically it wa... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Our friend has listened to Master Tapes through State of the Art systems. Okay, then I guess that is where he auditioned the playback systems of which he spoke, except for the CD player, right? Right!? Or is there a difference between End All and ... | |
| B&W 804 Nautilus vs 804s vs Vandersteen 2C II I would submit that the 804's are closer to the Vander 3's. I think the B&W would be a little livelier. The Vander 3's might have a slight bit more bass, but unless that was the only focus, I'd do the B&W's. | |
| odyssey amp's how do they compare to others Staying with the question "could we tell if it was covered with a box?" In a blind test, I say "yes". Most amps have an effect, or way of handling sound. Forget the talk of "all things being neutral" as we can assume that the rest of the system, a... | |
| Threshold, Parasound, Pass Labs or Nakamichi? If you find yourself unable to get the stasis gear, though Pas, and Nak have served me quite well; I'd also say to look at dual mono (same box or two box) AAragon (8008 or Palladium) amps.It also depends what Pas you like. The Alephs I've owned ar... | |
| Alright ? Who brought the bandeon to the jazz gig? Not a sound that I will stand. Each their own likes, least favorite instrument. I will listen to 5 minutes more of a bag pipe than any accordian other than old Weird Al. | |
| Audio Aero Capitol or Cary 303.300? tube output sections on the original question, thanks for asking. | |
| Audio Aero Capitol or Cary 303.300? Any idea how the 303/300, or CDP1 would sound as a transport compared to my Krell 280CD? ?Detail?Anyone compared? | |
| Audio Aero Capitol or Cary 303.300? Okay, the Jolita might not be a hidden gem. Thank you for that. i guess he's in the 2k-3k range. Had you heard the Cary 303/300 when you bought your Capitol? Or hadn't it come out yet, or wasn't it at that audition location? I'm getting the impres... | |
| mixing and matching..... I can't think of one pwer cord that sounds good in every place in my system. I don't have a perfect system, what is that? Something is going to sound better than something else. I.C.'s are fewer. Try the fuses, and go one level deeper, they're great. | |
| My brother dips a toe back into rock music Okay, he may have heard of some of these; but going on...Moody Blues, He probably needs Peter Gabriel and Tull, Steely Dan.Dont forget Dave Matthews, Midnight Oil, (Blue Sky Mining) R.E.M. Epodimous and Out of Time. Wouldn't he want Kate Bush, Dre... | |
| Chime in.What's the Best Cassette Recorder ever ? Nakamichi Dragon, as well as the CR7A in the modern grouping. DBX does often like higher levels. But even speaking to a gent from Dolby Labs in the 80's the reason that many didn't like nr is that they were recording at lower levels and killing th... | |
| Help I need to locate a part Hi Folks,I will take strongly the advice to keep away from fet-rolling :(My experience with Spectral was under the following conditions:"Hi, I have a DMA 50, I love it. But my teck tells me that it needs a motorola part that can no longer be found... | |
