| best used inexpensive cd only player If you have room for a top loader I see a Rega Planet 2000 for 350.00 listed. Veryy good sounding player I had one for about a year or so and it also makes a great transport should you decided to use an DAC later. Save the 150.00 andbuy some cable... | |
| Ayre AX7e MP vs ARC CD3 mk2 I have a C5xe-mp and an LS26 and have been very happy with the sound that I get. The dealer that I bought the ARC from also sold me the Ayre and he has stated that I would need to get into at least a CD7 to gain much. I also don't want give up SAC... | |
| Ayre vs Primare I have heard both but not together, however I echo jrw40's opinion of Ayre. I have a C5xe-mp and they also did the upgrade. In addition I have been to Ayre Hqrs and they are a great group of people. I think the fact that they do upgrade would lean... | |
| Help power pair of Infinity Kappa 9's please I had Kappa Sevens and as mentioned they are amp killers. The only amp that really seemed to power them and bring them to the best performance in my ownership period was a Mcintosh MC352. I would creit the autoformers as acting as a buffer to abso... | |
| Velodyne DD12 or DD15 My room is a little bigger than your and I do just fine with the DD12. You should really be happy with the DD series. Once you get it set up to the room it really is a nice tight little package. I had a Paradigm Reference Servo 15 before and this ... | |
| McIntosh MX132 - MX134 How relevent are they? I have owned both and from memory the b1ggest differnces that come to mind is as follows: (preface listed as advantages of 134 over 132)-Better processing chip the latest at the time expecially on pro logic-more extensive user interface for adjust... | |
| Lyra Delos or Transfiguration Axia or ? I am not familiar with the Transfiguration but had the Delos on my LP12 for a month or two. I loved it, I had had a Troika which I sold and the Lyra sound is much more open and detailed with out over analysis. I had originally thought of selling t... | |
| How to remove black rings left by rubber feet? Have you tried citrus wood cleaner or Liquid Gold wood polish* that has always worked for me. One thing you can do to prevent future marks is remove the rubber feet and wrap them in saran wrap tightly and re-install them. It won't affect bass, mid... | |
| McIntosh Preamp and Audio Research Amp I have an LS-26 triggering on my MC-402 I don't see why theMc wouldn't trigger on the ARC. If for some reason it doesn't you can add a PS Audio power srip between the two and utilize the trigger side of it. Kind of an expensive solution but I know... | |
| McIntosh 501's, Mcintosh 7000 I would think the C200 would send a much more detailed and open signal to the 500's. At which point did you change the IC's between the two? And have you tried others? And is all new gear and maybe just needs to break in? | |
| Linn Katan to Compliment Linn Ninka's I think the Katans are best suited as fars as voice matching goes to the Espeks. | |

| Can Interconnects be converted to speaker cables Yes it can be done, but is will sound terrible. Each strand or wire should match and that is not the way IC's are made.But in honesty the signal can be sent across most conductive material. You have only to lose and nothing to gain. | |
| Blu-ray vs HD digital? In my experience with Directv and a Sony BD player I say the BDP is clearly superior to the Directv HD DVR. You may get different results with the Apple product I have no experience there. | |
| HELP: Noise from new Pro-Ject Debut III Just a thought. If the cartridge it "too hot" it may be taking out the phono stage in the Yamaha. I seriously doubt that it is too hot though. Can you try a phono stage on a seperate input? Maybe Magnolia sells one I am sure they honor the traditi... |
