| Are there used/mint balanced pre-amp with a few unblanced inputs under $2000?? Sunnyjim.....Did a quick lookhttp://www.audioconsultants.com/equipment-Ayre-K1xe--Silver-7521If it doesn't have remote, phono, you can get Ayre to install them. | |
| Are there used/mint balanced pre-amp with a few unblanced inputs under $2000?? Sunnyjim...if you can find an Ayre K1xe used, grab it. It's what you're looking for. ..may be more money than you want to spend, but its a great piece. | |
| Most favored hearing aid for audiophiles I've tried them, but they turn music into cheap plastic. Went round and round to try to get to a good place, but the audiologist said that although the electronics of the good ones go from 20 - 20,000 hz, proper miniature microphones haven't been... | |
| Can headphones ever be as good as high end stereo? I should emphasize the fact that top earphones need a top dedicated earphone amp...the results are stunning. Plugging earphones into jacks with afterthought headphone circuits just don't work nearly as well. | |
| Subwoofers.... one 10" or two 8"? The most effective use of subs are to cancel nodes in the room. By doing proper placement of 2, 3, 4, subs, you actually make the mids and highs cleaner and clearer. The result of proper subbing is not to hear the subs as their own speaker (pump... | |
| Anticables speaker wire have no plastic jacket/insulation? Stanwal...years ago anti's were magnet wire. Paul's top cables today are silver/high quality copper...a totally different animal. ..they work well in some system, not so well in other systems...like all other cable. | |
| What's the deal with idler turntables and do they have a place in modern HiFi? Theoretically, idler drives have better speed control because belts have a stretch component that varies the platter. In the old days I had a Rek0kut table with a Grado lab arm and his top of the line cartridge of the day....it was belt drive. | |
| Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp?? ..just want to mention that I am using a low output m/c with Ayre, and it is dead quiet. If I put my ear to the speaker, I hear nothing unless the stylus hits the groove. | |
| cable connector cleaner/contact enhancer Anyone use Kontak? | |
| Against everything that high end cables stand for ..another point about ClearDay...... Paul has been willing to send out to the interested party, a review set of cables without charge to hear if indeed ClearDay works well in the system. Even if you have no interest in cable, an offer to listen ... | |
| Audio research 100.2 any good ????? The early transistor ARC amps were dogs.....I wouldn't touch it. Grainy, no depth, no air, no good. The one you're speaking of may be different, but the one I know was not a good amp. | |
| McIntosh Tenorsaxjr.......why look for zebras in your kitchen. If you like your system just enjoy it. The fastest way to empty a bank account is to look for ever-better. ...and you'll never find it. | |
| What in the world is going on..... My point is that although I DO like the album....it sounds much poorer on viny, with my big megabuck system with speakers than with the mp3 version trough a Denon receiver via AirPlay, and then through a pair of wireless Sennhiser earphones. It r... | |
| What in the world is going on..... Oblgny....that's just the point.....Fremmer gave this record's sound, performance, and content a rave review....Simon is and has been one of my favorites. This recording just doesn't make it on MY system....and wondering why. (as an aside I was... | |
| Anticables speaker wire have no plastic jacket/insulation? ZeroBias....Picky, picky, picky....actually speaker cable differences are enormous...at least on MY system....actually transformative. |
