| What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009? My vote for #1 is a tie between MBL room. Much smaller display that past years and they picked a great ensemble to present. Balance of the tie was the Audio Research Ref 5 with the Wilson Sashas. Third I would say the Naim and Wilson Duettes produ... | |
| Double Albums/CDs, curse or blessing? Fleetwood mac "Tusk", All double live albums, Seger, Supertramp, Skynyrd etc, Pink Flyd "meddle" are few that come to mind. | |
| What was your most engaging audio experiance I think for me it was a local audio store, long since gone, Soundtronix. I was looking for a all in one system due to limited budget. Up till then most of my listening was done on a Zenith console with Alegro speaker system.So the salesman knowing... | |
| Best interconnects for Velodyne DD series I have DD12 and am using an XLO VDO ER-2 with single input and "Y" on the output since the DD12 has R and L inputs.I don't belive that this cable is made any more but I am sure you can find a comparable if not better in their product line. They ca... | |
| How much does CD player affect overall sound? A CDP can make a world of difference to the sound of your system. I have been through a few CDPs since I bought my first years ago. Each one brought a new diminsion to the sound. More information, better presentation, better overall performance. h... | |
| Is difference between B&W 802D & 800D worth price? Shhhhhh. Leave the 801's in place and let the wife get used to the look. And if all else fails, tell her they "they make her B#tt look small"! Just kidding, don't get mad. Get her to spend some time in front of them and put on her favorite music.G... | |

| Mcintosh C220 vs CJ ET-2 Onemug has good advice. Listen to the equipment not the dealer. I used to go to a local dealer and no matter what I mentioned, if he carried it, it was perfect for what my needs were. If he didn't carry it I got the stories. I used to carry it but... | |
| pre-Cirkus LP12 or ClearAudio Performance CMB I guess the best way for me to describe my comments is. I felt after listening to the VPI and the ClearAudio as well as Rega was that the LP12 was warmer and seemed to have a more "natural" timbre. The VPI and CA sound good don't get me wrong on t... | |
| So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets? In case you don't want to search the archives or maybe looking for new members comments. I will answer with that I am not a huge Beatles fan and have very few of their titles till now. I am glad I waited as so far I think these are the best soundi... | |
| Vandersteen Model 7: has anyone heard? These will be on display the RMAF through Audio Alternative. Not sure if they will be using Ayre or Audio Research for electronics. But I am wanting to hear them. | |
| McIntosh preamp C504 output noise& 8207; Could be a power supply taking a digger. Also before you send it off to a repair shop try plugging it in to a differnt outlet. Also try reversing the polarity on the plug since it doesn't have a 3 prong plug. And one other thing you may try is run... | |
| pre-Cirkus LP12 or ClearAudio Performance CMB I'd get the LP12. you mention wanting to keep it. The LP12 allows you many upgrades and as mentioned by headsnappin, once it is set up "correctly" it is good for years of service. I have had my LP12 for a couple of years now and after a spell of t... | |
| where to find blank disks for denon dcr-w1500 I still see tham at best Buy,and you can buy them online as well. I have that same Denon and use the TDK or Sony and get great results. If you want higher quality Music Direct sells a MFSL blank but it is not cheap. | |
| What is tube rolling? My understanding is that you try different tubes in one component. Such a Sovtek, Western Electric, etc. seeking the best sound or the individual sound qualities that each tube brings. Or maybe rock sounds better with one and classical with anothe... |
