| Is there a good 5 disc CD player out there ??? California Audio Labs made the CL-10, which was a well-regarded CD changer.Honestly, though, for $4-5K I would buy a really nice DAC and hook it up to an inexpensive CD changer or a music server of some sort. That would provide much more flexibili... | |
| high end speakers? ... not sure what brands/model I apologize for not proofreading my initial post. I meant to say that "Your speakers are definitely ABOVE average in the grand scheme of things, as is your amp." You have a nice system that bests that of most people, and uses high-value components... | |
| high end speakers? ... not sure what brands/model Your speakers are definitely average in the grand scheme of things, as is your amp. What is it about the Paradigms that you aren't happy with? You can always get better sound if you spend a lot more money, but only you can decide where the balance... | |
| Computer Do Over Rbstenho, her files were on an external HD that was connected to the now-dead Dell, rather than on another Mac. That's why I suggested that she connect the external HD to the new Mac.Michael | |
| Computer Do Over Audiowoman,Congratulations on your iMac purchase. I love mine, and I'm sure you will, too.Hook up the external drive to the iMac using either a USB or a Firewire cable. It should show up as an icon on the desktop. Open it, and it will allow you to... | |
| What pre in the $500 pre owned market Consider Coda, McCormack TLC, Rotel.You might find a Marsh P2000t for that or a little more (disclaimer: I have mine for sale).For a little over $600, if you can stretch your budget, you could get a Musical Fidelity A3cr which would be a notch abo... | |
| Another "help me pick speakers" thread You mentioned the Totem Hawks and Forest as options. I disagree with these two, as they require significantly more power and don't work as well near walls. The one from Totem's line to choose from in your case are the Arro's, both in terms of posi... | |
| Do I need a good sound card to rip CDs? FYI, the stock iPods can't use FLAC. If you want a lossless format for the iPod, use Apple Lossless instead.Michael | |
| Computer Do Over I'm also partial to Macs, but in all fairness you can get it to work either way.I'd recommend the iMac over the mini, if you do choose a Mac, because I feel the iMac is the best bang for the buck in the lineup. You don't have to purchase an extra ... | |
| Moderate Priced Integrated Amp I think that you're looking into some good options. I'd recommend:Music Hall MamboNAD BEE seriesAudio Refinement CompleteMusical Fidelity A3cr or A3.2crOnkyo A-9555 (I haven't heard this one but it gets good reviews)Michael | |

| Phono Preamp from turntable to stereo AUX prob? Do you have a separate, external phono preamp or do you have a preamp that has a built-in phono stage? If the former, connect the turntable's output cable to the external phono preamp (there are 2 RCA plugs and one small spade -- the small spade s... | |
| Benchmark DAC1 vs CAL Sigma Craig, I purchased the Sylvania 5751 from Audiogon. But I often buy new tubes from thetubestore.com, and I've had great service from them.Michael | |
| Recommendations on Turntable for under $1k I second the KAB Technics. It's not generally regarded as an "audiophile" product, but the KAB-modified Technics offers a solid table that is compatible with a wide range of cartridges, and can further be upgraded by KAB if desired.I had a Project... | |
| Benchmark DAC1 vs CAL Sigma Craig,I also have a CAL DAC (an Alpha). I haven't heard the Benchmark but I can say that my Alpha sounded SO much better with Sylvania 5751 tubes. Have you tried a different tube in your Sigma? That might help to reduce your problem with it, as yo... |
