| Rega Jupiter owners, What are you using for Tweaks The only explanation I have for this is that some pretty serious vibrations must be getting to the player. Is your equipment on well isolated stands or is it on an "entertainment center"? | |
| Rega Jupiter owners, What are you using for Tweaks Great question and something I've been curious about as well. I am a big believer in Vibrapods but it made NO difference on my Jupiter 2000. So, those squashy feet on the Jupiter are definitely doing something right! That said, I have to believe t... | |
| What to look for in a sub? My recommendation is the ACI Force subwoofer. An outstanding little sub, with compact dimensions, that is flat to 20Hz, +-3db. Its performance is identical to the giant-killing Titan II LE (also from ACI) except for slightly lower output. Pricing ... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3CD Dekay, thanks for your detailed response. I was just now on another thread (best cd player) where one of the posters indicated he was getting good results from the Sony DVD/SACD player which I currently have - I was going to return it because I th... | |
| The best CD Player for the money I bought the Sony DVP9000ES a week ago and my initial impressions were very unfavorable - lean and sterile with very little low-end oomph. In fact I had decided to return it before I got on this thread! Kkirkpa's experience seems to suggest that I... | |
| High Efficiency 2 way floorstanding or B Soliloquy makes highly efficient speakers - in fact they are explicitly designed for SETs - the 5.3 is available on Audiogon for around $1300. Silverline Audio would also be a good choice. | |
| Bel Canto DAC vs. Perpetual Tech P3A? In response to Tubegroover's comments, I would like to add the following. I recently sent my P3-A bach to Perp Tech to fix a documented problem with the Crystal chip set. I bring this up because the tonal characteristic (which was amazingly smooth... | |
| Bel Canto DAC vs. Perpetual Tech P3A? www.hometheaterhifi.com has a review comparing the 2 DACS - WITHOUT the P1-A. You may want to check it out. I use the P3-A and I am simply astounded by it. I think the P3-A and the Bel Canto have very different tonal characteristics (neither is be... | |
| Best beadroom speaker under $350 (NHT?) The NHT superones are great, particularly if you replace ypur acurus with the Jolida. With the solid state Acurus, I would go with the Acoustic Energy Aegis 1 - it is an absolutely INCREDIBLE speaker, particulary when you consider its price - 300 ... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music What a GREAT thread - I can't believe I only just stumbled upon it. Some things that come to mind - 1) American Tune by Simon & Garfunkel - almost always leaves me all choked up. 2) Diamonds and Rust by Joan Baez - which is the most beautiful ... | |
| Sunfire True Sub Jr. VS. M&K VX-100 Thanks to all of you for your input. Compact size is really the key in my case. Montoya, I saw your ad for the MX 70B - unfortunately, its about 20 inches high and that's too tall for my space. I am now also considering the Gallo Acoustics MPS 150... | |
| Best integrated with pre/main out/$650 I am with Patriot - the NAD 317 is as good as any amp upto $2000. I think the Happy Medium (happymedium.com) sells 'em for around $600 - right around your budget. BTW it is twice as expensive as the NAD C340 suggested by Doctorjest and if you know... | |
| Best female vocals on CD Audiogon is the only place that I have contributed to any discussion and I must say that I am glad I did. I usually avoid chat groups because of the personal and often vituperative attacks that are so charecteristic of them. This particular thread... | |
| Best female vocals on CD First, let me admit that my previous post was a bit over the top - I wrote it as I was listening to Billie on my headphones and was struck (as always) by how "different" DK is from . Now clearly, "different" is not the same thing as worse, and I c... | |
| Best female vocals on CD I agree with Rayhall. I find it painful to listen to Krall's "interpretations" of standards. Just listen to Billie Holiday sing All or Nothing At All- and then listen to Krall's version on Love Scenes - it makes me want to gag. Her cds ARE well re... |
