| Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic I was in a very similar position – I had a pair of Merlins at the time that I bought my Frankensteins and CSLS. I also went from a medium-small room to a large room.I’m not surprised about your experience with your Merlins. Mine were a pair of VSM... | |
| Can anyone suggest a speaker stand that looks as good as the Grand Prix amp stands? Ozzy,The reviewer's speakers were Audio Note AN/E SE's, so I assumed he was using the monitor stands. Tom | |
| Can anyone suggest a speaker stand that looks as good as the Grand Prix amp stands? $879 is less than I expected. The review I read from Dagogo was effusive about the sound, but there is one caveat: "When you first put your speakers on them, they can be a little wobbly, but after a few days they settle in and have no movement fr... | |
| Can anyone suggest a speaker stand that looks as good as the Grand Prix amp stands? Ozzy,I found this old link to Star Sound which shows what their speaker stands used to look like: http://www.starsoundtechnologies.com/OLDSITE/compactmonitorplaforms.HTMLThey show a "topless" model, with "long legs and spikes" which might be up y... | |
| Can anyone suggest a speaker stand that looks as good as the Grand Prix amp stands? Ozzy, I do not know what custom stands from Star Sound would cost or look like, but I feel it would be worth exploring. It looks like you own or have owned Star Sound products. If you like the Star Sound products that you have tried, and if you li... | |
| Converting LP to digital. Advice please... Lewm -I am in general agreement with your post. It is the convenience features of the Sweet Vinyl SC-2 that are appealing to me.I have around 2500 LP’s that I want to digitize. I have an Alesis Masterlink. It is nice for making the occasional reco... | |
| Converting LP to digital. Advice please... Technology marches on. I don't think the Tascam offers de-clicking, nor does it automatically split and name tracks. The Sweet Vinyl SC-2 seems to do it all. It seems very promising as an easy to use all-in-one solution. It is being beta tested an... | |
| What's your OTL tube amp experience and suggestion? The baby on the changing table analogy is a good one. I called my Joule Electra amp a labour of love, perhaps because I had to treat it like a baby. I really liked the sound, it was wonderful within my system, but I battled buzzing and humming whi... | |
| ZYX Ultimate with carbon fiber cantilevers -- listener reviews? Lewm -Doug Deacon's review did not say the Universe was "decidedly" better than the 4D. Instead, the essence of his post is that the 4D (also known as the Atmos) might be preferred by rockers, and the Universe preferred by classical music listener... | |
| How good is the Technics 1200 Mk2 with all the KAb upgrades? Hi Fluffers,I had the SL-1200MKII with the tonearm wiring, fluid damper, upgraded mat, and clamp upgrades. It was a nice turntable, not quite on par with a Sota Cosmos IV that I owned at the same time, but very similar sounding. I did not get the ... | |
| High Quality Universal Player?? milpai -It seems Oppo is playing this one close to the vest. I am eager to see the 205's specifications (and price). | |
| High Quality Universal Player?? jafant - I ripped all of my cd's onto a hard drive via my Mac Mini, and found that I liked the sound, and especially the convenience, of my file playback system well enough to sell the Sony. I still have SACD's and DVD-A discs which I have not fig... | |
| High Quality Universal Player?? Rwwear - With respect to the Oppo UDP-205, I am considering it, too. I actually bought the Pioneer for my living room, but I have been very impressed with it in my main audio system as a disc player. I am waiting to read owner impressions on the U... | |
| High Quality Universal Player?? The Pioneer does have two USB inputs, one in the front and one in the back, and one can access a server with the 88FD to play files from the server. I am not a Tidal subscriber, and I am not sure if one can get Tidal with the 88FD currently. I am ... | |
| High Quality Universal Player?? For those considering a universal player, the Pioneer Elite BDP-88F is a contender. I just got a refurbished one from Accessories for Less at 50% off msrp. They are sold out now, but the BDP-88F shows up for sale there from time to time. Initial i... |
