How good is the Ayre DX-5 Universal as a CD player To these ears, the Ayre is quite wonderful. Just as an aside...did you know you can't blutooth flac files...just doesn't have the bandwidth. | |
VPI Classic---replacing stock feet: my experience I have a Superscoutmaster/rim drive, and the addition of Bearpaws was a MAJOR step up. Increased ease, low bass, clean and clear mids, and sweet highs, increased depth and focus. I've heard the same when used on all VPI tables. Why YOU are getting... | |
Can I connect my iPhone to my Ayre integrated amp I sometimes listen to my I-Pod through the upgraded Bose radio in the car...although the sound is there, it's not as good as the Satellite, or CD. | |
Triangle Titus 202 or Triangle Comete ES? I only heard Triangle speakers once...it was their top of the line skinny, real tall speaker. Again this is the only model I have ever heard, and was severely disappointed in them. I don't know if it was the setup (a dealer near Princeton, NJ), or... | |

Tonearm Choice:SME or Rega? Rega arms do not have the best bearings. They are relatively soft SME has knife edge bearings...a better choice. | |
VPI Tonearm connector wire and record tracking The VPI arm's wire exits from the front of the unipivot bearing housing and thus has a built in side thrust compensation factor even without the twist of the cable. As the arm travels across the record, the loop is condensed so the natual spring o... | |
Room Treatment for Corners - Recommendations? As a matter of fact, I did AB artificial and real plants, and real won every time. I suppose if the fakes are heavy and absorptive, they can work... In my experiments, artificials did nothing. Draperies...even thin and light ones work very well. M... | |
Dartzeel CTH-8550. RCA vs Xlr Jtinn...enlighten me.... | |
Wilson Audio paint problems In spite of all those pro Wilson people, I've heard of these problems many times...too many for a product that professes to be perfection. | |
O.K. I'm Old/no Techie....how do I I heartily agree with the Mac Mini. Notebooks have LOTS of noise (primarily from the monitor) which screw up the sound. No depth, air...all confused...true of all notebooks. | |
Dartzeel CTH-8550. RCA vs Xlr Jtinn...only if the circuit is a poor design | |
VPI Tonearm connector wire and record tracking I agree completely with Bifwynne. As for MY setup, I do use a bit of anti-skate with the mechanical gizmo. I found the wire twisting technique not for me, since the springiness of the wire diminishes over time. Cartridge setup is a huge pain in th... | |
VPI Tonearm connector wire and record tracking I have both the 9 incher and the 10.5i, and haven't found the wire to negatively influence the sound on either arm. I supposed the best possible connection is no connection at all (bluetooth?), but I am very satisfied with the sound I get from my ... | |
Oppo analog question Yes...that's true of my Panasonic BluRay as well. Without HDMI, the sound is disappointing. Dialogue is squashed and difficult to understand no matter how loudly the volume control is increased. I either have to get an HDMI input, or learn to lip ... |
