| whats a good older hdcd cd player? The Linn Ikemi is a great sounding redbook and HDCD player and I see them fairly frequently here on AG | |
| Rega P25-best upgrade Amondrool is right with the technoweight. I owned a P25 for a few years and added just about every tweek that I could get for the table. Some helped and some went the other direction. But the one investment that I can say stood out as most obvious... | |
| Buying used vs. New I guess it all comes down to personnal economics. We take chances on buying here on AudioGon but I have so far(knocking on wood)been lucky. I would love to buy new all the time but then I would be increasing the time line of getting what I want. I... | |
| What happened to the AM/FM tuner??? A few moreMcintoshDenonmarantzRotelIt all depends on what you want to spend.I see them listed here on AG on occassion as wellWhat do you want to spend?The Marantz ST17 is a few years old but if you can findone it is a great tuner. | |
| Difference w/ Ayre Amps The other difference is twice the output devices 32 vs 16. | |
| Top two channel pre w/HT passthrough XLR best I am in the very same process and have condidered the Mcintosh C2300 and if $$ permitted the C500 and also the Audio Research LS26 and if money is there the Ref 3. I have a McIntosh Pre/Pro and Amps now but have all but decided on the LS26 as soon... | |
| Thin record and thin sound? I think Johnnyb53 hit the nail on the head. There mut be a market for someone to offer different thickness mats for different VTA requirements. I have an LP12 as well and do not want to even think about changing a setting on my Ekos. | |
| Digital processor I think if you can find a Paradigm X-30 Crossover that was sold as a compliment to the ist generation Servo-15, that might meet your needs. It has been years since I owned one, but I am hoping an Audiogon'r might have a clear memory of it's full f... | |
| How good or bad is a Mac C-39 phono stage? I owned a C39 long ago and had a rega p25 with a grado cart and found it be muting. I think I used it for one payperiod and when an bought a creek. | |
| the cheapest amp to drive watt/puppy 7 I realize that these are not cheap, but to make a point on driving Wilson speakers. I have heard the Maxx's driven by Art Audio PX25 amps delivering 6 watts per and they soundedfantastic. When I was listening I didn't realize that the Art Audio am... | |
| New Re-Issue Vinyl: Surface Noise, Ticks, Pops.... My experience as well in a lesser volume I really only remember returning one or two with the exception of I went through about 4 copies of Wish Your Were Here that all had bad lead-in grooves. But these 180-200gram pressings all seem to have prob... | |
| Which multichannel amp to buy Have you considered just adding a 2 channel for the fronts or do you feel you need more power for all 5 channels. Since you have 5.1 and a 7 channel amp have you bi-amped?If you are looking for more power consider a McIntosh 205 or a Ayre amp as w... | |
| LP Sound Quality Mikekavigne raises a good point I have mine set on Aurious and that solved a few problems. | |
| LP Sound Quality As a LP12 owner I can say the investment of having the table re-set up. I am sure that even if packed in all Linn boxing that it gets out of adjustment. That cartridge that came with the table may have some wear that is causing that distortion in ... | |
| Power Conditioners I really can't answer your question. However I can tell you I have Panamax, Monster, Ps Audio, Richard Gray and have settled on the Running Springs. I was able to doa week long in home demo and when I took it back I came home and realized my syste... |
