| Whats on your turntable tonight? Vega- Listened to that last night; good choice. Also found my copy of Cowboy Junkies Trinity Sessions. Its awesome. Ronstadt/Harris/Parton Trio. Listened to a few rock albums from '69-75. Must have had the AM radio mix disease. Sounded way better ... | |
| Do preamps make good headphone amps? the short answer is; some do and some don't. Another pre known as having a (very) good hp amp is the Melos SHA Gold. But in most cases, a dedicated hp amp is better than the phone jack on most pres. Many have loop out so you just interest between ... | |
| Anyone hear Dynaudio subwoofers Thanks Bigbucks. Which speakers? Can the internal crossover be bypassed to use an outboard bass management unit? HOw big is your room? | |
| Merlin VSM-mm's a good value at $3000 used? Shadorne- can you translate the speaker designer talk into english for us peons. I think that you really have something there and I would like to understand it. | |
| Anyone else experiencing the rude highend retailer This remote control and this chair. This remote control, this chair and .... It is a great movie. | |
| What speaker to buy to start over. Not sure that any Vandy is really a rock speaker, but i never heard the 5 series (owned 2s and 3Asigs/2Ws). If the latter did not float your boat, then the 5s probably would not either. 17 x 25 is a good size room, $7k is a good size budget. If yo... | |

| Yahoo transaction? Western Union? Or just scam 1. Run from this transaction.2. Report "seller" aka "phisher" to Audiogon management. | |
| BEHOLD - digital gear from Germany At 100k, its not surprising that no-one has a real world opinion. I'm told the pre sounds great with those WAVAC 350K monoblocks, driving the top of line VSA speakers. What's 1/2 million USD, when you can have "incredible density/solidity of the i... | |
| Muralmans' amps reviewed Ultra Audio. ????????? | |
| Merlin VSM-mm's a good value at $3000 used? To answer the basic question, is, IMO, yes. They are a good value at $3K. I own a pair I bought new and would have loved to have found a pair of MMs for that price. They do mate as well with the entire spectrum of electronics as the Vandersteens a... | |
| iPod volume versus laptop volume Sorry fo rany confusion in my post. It should NOT be hooked up to phono. However, if by losing volume, you mean that for a specific rotation of volume knob, the sound is less for the ipod than for the cdp, that is not unusual and not necessarily a... | |
| 2 inputs into single sub - possible? See response to other similar thread above. There are some brands of subs that can be set up for HT and stereo, like REL. | |
| How do I use a sub with a tube pre for music only? You would probably need a sub that can be set up for two different types/levels of input, like the REL subs. Typically you would pull the stereo signal from your pre from a second set of line outs, and the LFE signal from the LFE out of your pre/p... | |
| iPod volume versus laptop volume AS long as its not connected to a phono input, then it should not matter which one. Note that there is considerable variability in the output voltage of CDPs and yours may be "hot", putting out more voltage and thus apparent high volume. |
