| How can I add an amp to a receiver w/o amp outputs You could add a Creek OBH-10 passive remote volume control. Use the "tape out" on your receiver. | |
| Best Respighi Pines of Rome 4Yankx..Hmmmm....It is not good enough to be worth breaking the seal, then maybe it is not worth anything sealed??!! Just a thought. | |
| BC21 preamp problem You can try for Gilbert, but Angela usually responds to inquiries even if directed to Gilbert. It is probably a lot quicker starting with her. She is an electrical engineer by training, and will definitely discuss your problem with Gilbert. It is ... | |
| CD Players with Analogue Sound I won't disagree with anyone. I personally don't care for the Rega Planet. But to many, it is a low cost analogue sounding player. If there was only one right answer, everyone would have the same system at each price point.I'd rather give people o... | |
| CD Players with Analogue Sound With careful patience, plus trial and error; the right interconnect cable selection (for that particular player), can make most decent CD players sound pretty close to analogue.All three CD players I mentioned really are analogue sounding. Analogu... | |
| CD Players with Analogue Sound What is your budget? Since everyone is starting at the top, I'll start from the bottom. The cheapest is a used Rotel RCD-855; probably $100+. Then a used Cambridge Audio CD-4SE for +/-$200. Then, since you are transversing the planet, there is a u... | |

| Looking for a cheap sub... I would also hold out for a used Hsu. Unlikely to find a used REL for under $500. | |
| HELP Why no bass? Why bright? Regardless of the tweeters, etc, I assume there would still be no bass.Why are you running another integrated with a power amp?Have you considered getting a real preamp (preferrably, but not necessarily one with tubes)? A good preamp would probabl... | |
| What are the best cartridge matches for Linn LP12? I might be more concerned with matching the cartridge to the phono preamp (or vise versa). | |
| unico or YBA integre? I have complimented both YBA and Creek gear. They both have different strengths. I can actually image lots of situations where the Creek would be preferrable, and the same for the Integre. The Integre is a little slower/softer to my ears. Think of... | |
| unico or YBA integre? If my earlier post sounds like I don't like the Integre, my mistake. I like the Integre and the Integre DT. I will say that I don't think YBA makes new (non-DT) Integre's because their Audio Refinement Complete is fairly close in performance and c... | |
| Fedex Warning: $100 Limit Insurance on Ground I had a Fedex claim this summer that was paid promptly with no fuss. It was only for $65 (the repair costs). There was an apology letter with the check.A long time ago I also had a UPS claim that was promply paid in full. It was a package that was... | |
| New Mcintosh products at CES??? I sat in on the McIntosh speaker presentation. It certainly was not designed for audiophiles. It was designed for Home Theater dealers. The type of HT dealer who sells to those who have lots of cash to burn and know absolutely nothing about high e... |
