| Benchmark DAC-1 Get The Most Out Of Your DAC-1 Yingtonggao:Is there a separate jumper(s) for the headphone gain? I see in the owner's manual there is: p2 Input source select jumper, jp7 coaxial input impedence jumper, p5 p6 p7 p8 xlr output attenuation jumpers.Again, I don't see any mention of... | |
| CD player vibration from CD's I'm not so sure the problem is discs that are a bit off-centered. I once had a Yamaha S1500 player that would do this vibrating on occasion. But when I bought a Pioneer DV-79AVi the same discs played perfectly.My opinion: a design flaw in the Yama... | |
| Best Digital RCA cable under $100 new or used? Termination is paramount! More important than wire type, really. 75 ohm Canare connectors are the truest. So, I would go with Signal Cable. | |
| tube choice for Audible Illusions L1 Get some choice EH6922. Try "The Tubeman". He has cyro'd tightly matched triode pairs available. | |
| Switched or Unswitched outlets--please Puerto: I think you have it backwards. "Unswitched" means on all the time. At least that was what was meant back in the days of AC outlets on the rear panel of pre-amps and intergrated amplifiers. | |
| Lp's you'd like to see remastered Thanks for the info, guys! I must pick-up a remastered "Moondance" cd. | |

| best solid state preamp from Audio Research? You don't see many SP-7 preamps for sale....and for good reason. A real vintage sleeper! | |

To get the most out of a stock unit, I recommend using a "warm" sounding interconnect like the Monster M1000 or M950. Use "footers" to isolate the unit and to raise i... | |
| Anybody have some experience with Bedini amps? Has anyone been in touch recently with John and Gary? Is that it? Is Bedini gone for good?I, for one, would be interested in a in a new 100 or 150 w/ch. amp and would put down a deposit in a flash! If Misters Bedini are reading this: How about it,... | |
| Great Blu-ray or DVD player for CD Transport Go with a Pioneer. I've used the DV-79AVi for over three years with heavy duty use without a problem. Another option is to find a used Denon DCD-1650AR cd player. It is great as a transport. Built like a battleship. Stereophile's Sam Tellig used i... | |
| great headphone amplification in vintage gear? Old Fisher 400 tube receiver. Headphone output is terrific! | |
| Big haul at local record show "Julie is Her Name" was recorded in mono. There was a sequel a few years later called, I think, "Julie is Her Name, Vol.II which was recorded in real stereo. | |
| SACD - Pioneer Elite any good? Cambridge Audio? What are the AIR studios enhancements? | |
| any early 80's alt/soft punk fans out there? Remember Lene Lovich? Before she went disco/dance? Saw her at the long gone Meadowbrook in Cedar Grove, NJ back in the early 80's.Graham Parker: "Shooting Out Sparks". Wow!Joe Jackson: "Look Sharp!" I think definitive.Great "New Wave" club in down... |
