| jumper pins for xlrs I disagree. There will be a sonic penalty. That is why the manufacturer includes jumpers, not only so you have something to lose and fret over! ;^) Make certain your amp should have them before using them. You can make them out of solid core coppe... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? e-An audio friend and I are going to a used record store tomorrow. Maybe I'll luck out and find one, or both. | |
| Sooloos Apple Itouch apt? Nice pun! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Hey e- I'll second the congrats on your new job. My sister was out of work for a year too (pharmacist)Also my Sphere "Flight Path" CEE-DEE (LOL) came. It sounds great. Bet the vinyl is superdee-dooperdee.SRV-Live At Montreux 1982 & 1985 (Disc ... | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC without the transport Me. It's an incredible DAC. Have mine hooked up to my computer via USB (Cardas Clear). It's the 2nd best digital I've heard. 1st was it with the PWT. It sounds much better than my MF Tri Vista SACD player, even when it was playing SACD's. Better b... | |
| Vintage upgrade "about the mat material, Elizabeth. One question, though: how does one go about cutting a near perfect circle?"Put it on a wood cutting board, place a record on it, cut around it with an x-acto. Mark the center hole and cut it out. | |
| Analog dilemma You may make the 12 foot stretch, but you'd be better off with a decent phono stage pushing the signal that far. You can get a pretty good one in your price range for sure. | |
| Entry Level Turntable? (most)People that prefer analog like it because it sounds better. You might be able to get a used Music Hall, Rega, or Pro-ject with a cartridge for $300. Make sure your Integra has a phono input or you'll need to get a phono stage too. | |
| How much better will a preamp be over a processor Do you want the highs smooth and natural sounding, or rolled off? Good SS gear does not roll off the highs (IMHO) but instead retains the natural sound of the highs. I absolutely relish the way cymbals sound on my kit. | |
| Should I do this now or wait... The Edge 10.1 NL I replaced my X-600's with sounds much more liquid, has better bass, runs waaaaay cooler (heat was the reason I sold my Pass monos) and is optimized for single-ended operation. Maybe a better fit? FWIW. | |
| Should I do this now or wait... Running the X-600's single ended seems like a shame to me. What makes them so special (and expensive) is how well the parts are matched to optimize their sound. Single ended 600's is wasting your $. I don't think you'll have issues(well maybe hum)... | |
| Denon DVD 2900 5900 etc Audio VS Oppo 83SE Audio Ralphx-What mods did you get? How did they improve the sound? You say they are very close in sound quality, but do you have a preference?Thanks-Steve | |
| Denon DVD 2900 5900 etc Audio VS Oppo 83SE Audio Pdn-I replaced my Tri Vista with a PS Audio Perfectwave DAC. IMO it easily performs better than the MF, even though it does not play SACD audio. The PS does play hi-rez, but not SACD, and I do not believe it does DVD-A either. I do not have the PS... | |
| How much better will a preamp be over a processor "What type of improvements should I expect by going to a dedicated two channel preamp over my current Denon processor."You should expect a HUGE differance. A great pre can really make a system."Can a higher end Processor like the Denon, Anthem, or... | |
