| Stan Warren / Dan Wright Modifications I have a Stan Warren modified Pioneer. Well worth the money spent IMO (in my opinion). Never had a problem with it. It seems these things usually break right away, so if you have a good history with yours already, you are hopefully safe. Stan give... | |
| Adding pre-amp to an integrated amp? I agree with LAK. I doubt they are double processing the sound. Some integrated's also have an additional pre-out so you can add a second amp and Bi-amp using an integrated. NAD, Cambridge Audio, and Rotel's for example. | |
| Stan Warren mod Aiwa xc37m CD transport Ehider: You are using a MSB Link DAC?? Or something else? | |
| Stan Warren mod Aiwa xc37m CD transport How much for Stan's MOD to the Aiwa? I think I read it is a Duoptic interconnect (whatever that is?)? If a MSB Link DAC is the right way to go with the Aiwa, do you know how much Stan's Mod is for the Link DAC? I could call, but I don't wish to bo... | |
| i want to buy a new system Let's see...New and decent will be tough. Much easier to do if used. 2 Pairs of B&W 302s or the new 303 ($500 new, $350 used). B&W CC3 center ($180n/$130u) HSU VTF-2 subwoofer ($50O new, $400 used). Onkyo HT Receiver ($300 to $500 dependin... | |
| Are Tuners - Audiophile quality The biggest problem it the strong 99.8 rap station bleeding into your 99.4 jazz or classical station, not TV 6 or 7 bleed in. I have never lived in an area with either channel (anyone?). The better tuners reject the false signals. For folks living... | |
| Are Tuners - Audiophile quality SDCampbell: The FM frequency band is between TV channels 6 and 7. So any good VHF antenna should work whether also for TV or just FM. The fact that some FM only roof antennas cost more means we are all probably getting ripped off. | |
| Are Tuners - Audiophile quality As far as David Rich, It does not matter to me to much how it looks inside as long as it sounds good. I would not spend the extra money to get neatly made solder joints under a case I will never open if it sounds the same. A good example is the Cr... | |
| Can $15,000 Sound As Good As $75,000? $15K sounds better to me. There is still $60K in the bank! | |
| Bookshelf Speakers I have not compared the two myself. I have 2 pairs of 302s I use for movies in a surround setup with the CC3 center. I have read the new 303 has slightly smoother treble with the new tweeter, which results in a slightly more refined sound. The old... | |
| Are Tuners - Audiophile quality Hey Dcaudio. I live in Charles County, Maryland 40 miles southeast of you. I have two extra Onkyo Integra Tuners if you want to give it a try sometime (a T4017 and T407). | |
| Bookshelf Speakers B&W 302 or the new 303. $250 brand new list price; some dealers may discount 10%. $150 to $175 used for the 302. Not much else comes close for so little money. | |
| Disappointed in SACD player Tweeter's sales people have always been totally clueless, so do not let their stupidity stop you. | |
| Are Tuners - Audiophile quality If you are not sure you want to sink some major $$$ at first, and want a hint of audiophile quality. Find a used Onkyo "Integra". The mid 80s models sell on eBay from $50 to $100. (from low to high: T4017, T4057, T4087); the early 1990 models from... | |
| best ss preamp w/ remote used under 1000 If probably won't go much under $1000, it might go slightly over $1000, however you can get the Conrad Johnson PFR. Stereophile Class A. |
