| Audiophile novice needs your expert opinion You have got a ground loop. You can get a ground isolation transformer for Radio Shack for cheap or a better made but not necessarily more effective one from Mondial (called Magic) or from Audioadvisors (made by MIT). Our you can try a cheater plu... | |
| Original Packaging, you gotta have it. As I was walking out of my house to help the UPS guy with a TT, I watched in horror as the box, sealed with FRAGILE HANDLE WITH CARE tape (2" red letters) and hand marked "DO NOT TUMBLE) right next to the address, tumble it down the length of the ... | |
| What Headphones? Looking to upgrade.......... She of course, refers to my wife (see above). | |
| Original Packaging, you gotta have it. You think the audio boxes take up room, try the box from my Loewe 32" 16:9 TV! The key is to break the big boxes down, then tape like mad if you need to reship. Also keep the styrofoam. The TV was shipped from Colorado, I think by BAX. The shipper... | |
| What Headphones? Looking to upgrade.......... Well I just got a pair of the 600s and a headroom home amp. the dealer selling the 600s here on Agon will do you right. And the sound is awesome! After telling me she can't here any differences in any of my new gear, she listened for about 10 seco... | |
| FM antennae question Brian- Your solution makes sense but the real question is do you hear any noise on the stations you like to listen to? | |
| Is my dealer lying to me? I agree with your conclusion and Perfectimage. Wait until you have your speakers and then audition the CDP. And you might want to consider a used CAL ICONN or even a (shudder) CL-10 changer (used for about $7-800) which was Sphile Class B. | |

| 1700 on a whole system-could I have done better? It doesn't matter what we think, what do you think? | |
| at home has unplugged its network Sorry (pissed is more accurate, but still not quite correct, if you catch my drift) to report that CT @home has been off-line when I got back home on Sunday night. Lost out on a good buy on a MUSE Model 2 a a result. I can be reached at my tempora... | |
| Who R U? Hi there Frank. | |
| Should Speakers come first in a gradual upgrade? If you are happy with the overall sound quality of your speakers, I would go with a better source or DAC. As I have upgraded my source and electronics, my relatively modest speakers (Vandy 2ci) have sounded better and better. | |
| Best speakers for 2000-USED Danheather has nailed it. Vandys are the most forgiving of the bunch. You should be able to get 3As for about 1.5K leaving .5K for good, biwires. The 3Asigs will almost undoubtedly cost you more than $2K. | |
