| international buyer, I have never had a problem, buying or selling to Singapore, HK, Germany, Italy, Australia and Canada. Without excellent Audiogon feedback that you can verify, I would only do Western Union or wait for a money order or cashiers check to clear. Gues... | |
| How Good Can Digital Get? Not a rant at all Newbee, and I think we need to change your moniker to "He who speaks wisely". Well saind. | |
| Psonic Onyx,Mitsu Diamond DLP or Pion Elite Plasma The new Mitsubishi DLPs are very good, but best PQ I have seen so far is Fujitsu plasma. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Is there a tape monitor switch? If so, try setting it in the other direction. | |
| SS 80 to 125 wpc -- NAD, Adcom, B&K, AVA, McC ? DNA 0.5 for sure, with a built in upgrade path via SMcAudio. It was more than enough for 2cis. If you ever add a Vandy sub, it'll leave you with even more grunt for the music over 80 hz, which is all it would be driving. B&K and Adcom not in s... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I have not heard any of the Cary's except for a 2A3i (integrated) which I own and it has actually driven my Merlins pretty nicely. The 805 has a great rep. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Your room is a bit small, so I am thinking monitors or small footprint full range speakers. For the latter, maybe VR 4jrs or Vandy 2ce sigs and a 2WQ sub. Used, either of those would keep you well under budget. At $3.5k for a tube amp, you could g... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I'm not familiar with your amp, but the speakers are definately not up to the level of your pre and source electronics. | |
| Have anyone seen these speakers? Or system? OMFG. ROTFLMAO. Actually, I think that's what my wife thinks my gear looks like. | |
| Amp Help for an amature Boy is this thread a contrast from some of the recent wars. Just the thing to lighten up a long day. thanks. | |
| Early 80's - late 70's best audio products Well, I will second the NYAL MOscode, specifically the 300 power amp, which I paired with a Yamaha C2a pre, which was also a real giant killer full function pre w/full tape dubbing, 2 phono inputs, including an mc step-up, switchable cart loading,... | |
| Subwoofer Hookup for Newbie Passive out would be the way to go. I am assumming you are using it for 2 channel only. If your sub has a cross-over, you would want to set it to filter out the higher frequencies that your main speakers can handle. | |
| Selecting Monitors for the First Time I agree with Labtec, but I will tell you that I went from a pair of DNA 0.5 A+ and a pair of 2Ws, to Merlin VSM-MMs + BAM. You can certainly pick those up used in your price range and Bobby may even know of a used pair that's available. I went tub... | |
| R&B version of "Franky & Johnny" Thanks, Sonof. | |
| R&B version of "Franky & Johnny" Sonof- If you can find the SACD hybrid, please post. BTW, how do the old master tapes sound transfered to hi-rez? |
