| Manufacturer Repaired Dropped Integrated Amplifier - Should I Be Concerned? I wouldn’t buy it. There may be cracks in one of the circuit boards that may eventually give problems. If you bought new, I would ask for a new one. If bought used, I would pass on it. | |
| Magico V3 You need to listen for yourself. Magic speakers aren’t chump change. | |
| Richard Kern modified Sony SCD-777 ES - what to replace it with There is a used Esoteric UX-1 which was a 14K universal player with the r to r ladder dac. The Music Room is selling for under $2300.00.i was thinking of getting for a spare as I have the UX-3 with the same dac. It blows away any Sony SCD777ES m... | |
| Has anyone gotten a good discount from dealer on new technics turntables? Doubtful you will get a discount on a new turntable that only goes for 1699.00. The margin is probably pretty slim on it. Why be such a cheapskate, it’s not like it’s that much money in the first place. If you were looking at the 4K model then may... | |
| Here, lies the answer Thank you. I just subscribed to her channel | |
| Need updated opinions on R2R vs Multibit delta sigma DACs My Esoteric SACD player uses the Burr Brown PCM1702 R to R dac and I would not trade it for the world. When I bought the player back in 2012, the owner Ralph at Spearit Sound (retired now), told me I had one of the 3 best dacs he ever heard. I ... | |
| Preferred Digital Music File Backup? I back up to a solid state drive on my computer which is only for music back up. I also have a USB hard drive I back up the music files on. I have 2 different back ups. I did this because I lost all my files once with no back up and spent the n... | |
| The Music Room @rikkitik...………………….I wish I had known that. I also bought a CJ solid state amp, the MF2550 and within the first 2 days decided it wasn't a good fit. I just assumed that you buy it you own it. I sold mine here at a 500.00 loss. Live and learn.... | |
| Has anyone gotten a good discount from dealer on new technics turntables? How much is the SL1200GR? | |
| Which to Upgrade first? My Amplifier or Speakers? The biggest difference will come from getting different speakers. This would enable you to see how the McIntosh drives the speakers. You already have an excellent amp, a newer McIntosh won’t sound that much better than what you have and probably n... | |
| XA5400ES owners - what are you using now? The 2 McIntosh you mentioned are discontinued items, the MCD600 is their latest. I never felt the XA5400ES was Sony's best player but it was their latest. I went from the Sony SCD777ES to an Esoteric UX-3. It will be my last SACD player (I hope). | |
| If you could use an excellent table FM radio for office, kitchen,,..etc. I have an old KLH which still sounds fantastic. | |
| Thinking of a used Hegel H160 integrated – thoughts and/or alternatives? I am willing to bet if you put the Accuphase up against the Hegel, the Accuphase would win. | |
| On the hunt for the "just right" turntable lamp-ideas, and where to find 'em? I bought one from Ikea which clips to the shelf on your rack. It is the perfect amount of light and has a very flexible stem. However, I found that the wall wort that comes with the lamp puts an incredible amount of hum through my system. Resu... | |
| Has anyone gotten a good discount from dealer on new technics turntables? Another member here got a discount on the Technics SL1200G from USA Tube Audio. I have never done business with them so I have no opinion. When I bought mine, I did not ask for a discount from Adirondack Audio as I traded in my VPI Prime and got... |
