| Need Audiophile Headphone Rig to Replace Sen HD590 Dave- Have you ever heard the AKG K1000s (I have a pair that needs repair, so I am familiar with their sound) and if so, can you compare them to teh 701s? | |
| Joule Electra LA150 MkII or Lamm LL2 Deluxe? I have heard an LL2 in a system I know a bit about and had a Joule 100 mk2 in my system. IMO, the Joule is superior. I can't give you a critical description but I know that it did not come off well vs the lower priced Aesthetix line stage, or 2 ot... | |
| Is there a decent used transport for under $300? Those are players, but they are often used as transports via digital outputs due to low price, build quality, and in the case of the pioneer/elite units, stable platter mechanism. You are not going to find too many transport only units at that pri... | |
| Is there a decent used transport for under $300? I'd go with a SONY 7000 or a Pioneer/Elite w/stable platter. Should be available for around 2-300. | |
| Need Audiophile Headphone Rig to Replace Sen HD590 I'm not sure you would find that much difference btwn the two Senns. | |
| Horizontal bi-amping for 3a Signatures Vertical bi-amping works just fine and there are some considerations that make it appropriate. For example, If you already have one good amp and can get a match at a good price. | |
| Shelby Lynne There is also Shelby Lynne- Epic Recordings, which is a compilation of material from the early 90s. And I can't recommend Tift Merritt Bramble Rose highly enough, particularly the last track "When I Cross Over" which is one of my all-time favorites. | |
| Triangle speakers and bass response Just listened to the Antal ESW this weekend. Very tight, tuneful bass. Very easy to follow bass lines in rock music. I was impressed overall at their price point. Good imaging, too. | |
| Can anyone recomend any great bono/conga albums I am going to hit you with an unusual recommendation. Try Eddie From Ohio. Very unusual in that the group is musically driven by vocals and percussion; including bongos, conga, tabla, etc. Musical style is folk/bluegrass/singer songwriter. Outstan... | |
| How do you move a 650lbs Rack on Hardwood... After reading the various options, I vote for the masonite as the cheapest and safest solution. K.I.S.S. | |
| Spades with NAD c320bee? HELP I think that this has been addressed before; try searching the forums. IIRC, this has to do with EU safety issues and the only solutions are either to have the cables reterminated (preferably by Cardas) with bananas, or use a spade to banana adapt... | |
| How do you move a 650lbs Rack on Hardwood... HOw about a 1/2" sheet of corian or other hard synthetic, or even a sheet of 1/2" plywood? | |
| An alternative to powered sub woes? If you have two very specific room node peaks and no significant valleys, you might try reading up on the Rives Parc bass equalizer. It will allow you to precisely attenuate those peaks; its eq is parametric and fully adjustable, IIRC. They even h... | |
| Which movie would you most like to see in HD Maybe Terrance Malick's Days of Heaven. One of the most visually stunning flicks ever. Terrific score, too. Sounds like a good one for HD transfer with a newly remastered soundtrack now that I think of it. | |
| How often do you folks vacuum clean your albums? Tom- Lets see if we can get the guy with the scanning EM to take pix of a record before and after playing to see if that's true. |
