| Budget CD Player Cambridge CD6 has XLRs. All their products have RCA and BNC. | |
| Use of Balance Control feature A lot of preamps with a balance defeat switch or as in some Conrad Johnson equipment the balance is out of the circuit in the center position. I find that some Vinyl LPs are not in balance do to the pressing or even the recording itself. So it is ... | |
| Which Line Conditioner? I have to agree that if you can get a dedicated line, go for it. I do not think you should then skip the power conditioner. If your neighbor who gets his power before you do has power tools for a hobby, the dedicated line will give the electrical ... | |
| XLRs vs RCAs For it to work at its best you should have it XLR all the way from the source to preamp to power amp. | |
| Which Line Conditioner? PS: Vansevers has single or mulitple conditioners. Tuned and filtered for digital and analog sources. Mike Vansevers was once a Pro Audio guy skeptic who once though power conditioners and interconnets were a joke until he actually sat down one da... | |
| Which Line Conditioner? Well, if the power from the main box is not perfect and it probably is not, the above suggestion won't help at all. Check out the the Vansevers power conditioners at www.vansevers.com One of the best at their price points in my humble opinion. If ... | |
| Speakers with Rotel amp Check out B&W CDM-1 or other B&W Models | |
| MIT or MITH? Please Please stop the talk of the cheap parts inside something. Under that logic, the cost of the raw material in a Lexus or Mercedes is not much different than a Chevy, so the Lexus or Mercedes must be a rip off. | |
| TUBE or SS? I agree with the Tube Pre/Solid State Power comments. Also the Sonic Frontier/Anthem Tube Preamps are more solid state like with the best of the tube positives. | |
| Good Speaker Match for AMC Int. Amp B&W DM601 or DM602. Used, even consider the DM600 or DM620 which came before the 601/602. Only difference is the Kevlar woofer on the 601/602. | |
| Is this paradigm speaker too expensive? A lot of audio stuff has a higher price in the US than the rest of the world. I think they know we have the bucks and will pay. | |
| TO upgrade or NOT, that is the question! PS: The best deal in a integrated amp is a used Cambridge Audio A3i. Comes with a great MM phono stage so you can play records too. Can be had for around $300 used. AudioAdvisor has a couple demos for sale. Also check the web site of Hawthorne Ste... | |
| TO upgrade or NOT, that is the question! If you just want a receiver and just listen to music definitely keep your old Onkyo Receiver. It was made for playing music and since yours was the top of the line no current receiver except for maybe the top NAD or Rotel 950 will beat it. New rec... | |
| Budget phono stage- advice appreciated Try the Rotel RQ-970. Handles both MM and MC Cartridges. Got a good review in Stereophile a while back. Retail list is $200. I've seen it used from $100 to $140 I used to have one and was very pleased for the money spent. Sorry for you, but I sold... |
