| What will replace a Wadia 830 Remote? If that doesn't work, try the forums on remotecentral.com. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Mrmb- You're in for a real treat with the phono stage, and for me the icing was the ability to change cart loading on-the-fly! Let the tube-rolling begin!! Although not until break-in is finished. | |
| Trelja's new tube amplifiers - Granite 860.1 Very interesting. My Merlins are scheduled to arrive w/in 10 days and I will be running them with a Supratek Chardonnay and the Berning ZH-270. I was hoping this would get me off the amp-go-round. Audiophila nervosa strikes again! | |
| Single box or upgrade w/DAC? Others have reported that the EMC-1 makes a good transport. OTOH, there is the clock synch/jitter issue when you go to a two box (which then might easily become a 3 box) solution. Ozfly is correct that you can get pretty good bang for your buck wi... | |
| Trelja's new tube amplifiers - Granite 860.1 Joe- Congrats on your amps and the pleasure they so obviously bring you. Please let us know how the Granites sound with the Merlins and offer any thoughts on the contrast to the amp he is presently using. | |
| 5U4 vs 5V4 Thanks, Jea48. | |
| What early 70's rock bands had violins? Seatrain- sort of bluegrass meets R&R. | |
| Sennheiser HD 650 or HD 600? Hey Matt- Run a search at Head-fi.org and you will get enough info about this to make your head spin. IMO, if you are a beginner, get the 600s and use the extra $ to buy a better source or headphone amp (which you will need with the Senns). | |
| BI AMPING - TUBE + SS - Likelihood is that the "nominal" 8 ohm load has lots of variation from driver to driver, and even at various frequencies within each driver's range, so even if the amps were identical, which they are not, horizontal bi-aamping would still require ... | |
| What does I don't even want to think about what Nixon did with the Alpaca. | |
| Best Plasma sony,pioneer.Panasonic ? I've never seen the Runco,but the Fujitsus are noticeably better than the Pannys and Elites, IMO. Exertfluffer's warning about the problems with artifacts, etc on processed SDTV signals is a real valid one. | |
| AMP-Preamp Combo for Vandersteen 2CE's Rushtons choices are all good and it is true that these speakers mate will with even some pretty high end stuff like he listed. Considering cost factors, I had pretty good luck with McCormack DNA 0.5s and 1.0s which you can have modified to truly ... | |
| Who u gots da most uv??? Hmm. By memory, Dylan, Dead, Emmy Lou Harris, Clapton, N. Young. Probably about 10-15 each. | |
| You should try this. Thanks for the heads-up. Sounds like something to look for. | |
| Looking for an acoustic guitar recording.. Leo Kottke and Tony Rice come to mind immediately. Maybe the Three Pickers work by Doc Watson (guitar), Ricky Skaggs (andolin) and Earl Scruggs (banjo). Or for guitar derivative (dobro), anything by Jerry Douglas. This is more in the bluegrass or ... |
