| Most musical player or DAC? Robertbrown your reply is very zen. Perhaps I need to 'search' for the answer. Tvad -- I should clarify, if it means anything to you, that my amps are technically 8.02, which Jason @ Nuforce has said over the 8 "The .02 version added a) overheat p... | |
| rookie drunk move "Don't Drink and Wire". Should be a t-shirt sold on Audiogon | |
| Most musical player or DAC? I've had an older Onkyo carousel player from the early 90's, an Onkyo universal player, two Chinese tubed players (MHZS) before my present players.Interesting thought Tvad, I remember your comments on the Nuforce thread a while back. I've also had... | |
| Most musical player or DAC? I know. I'd consider spending more if I was really convinced that doing so would get significantly more performance. More times then not it doesn't IME unless you spend A LOT more. Case in point -- my +$3k Musical Fidelity player isn't significant... | |
| Most musical player or DAC? Thanks Ed. I have no doubt there are other threads on this topic but didn't find any with a browse or keyword search for 'musical'. The limited keyword search functionality on Agon makes it hard to find what you're looking for.Shindo Aurieges L pr... | |
| rookie drunk move system is a go. thankfully. i totally lucked out on that one. I put 2 jumpers on each speaker and wound bare wire around the posts. The thought of all the close calls I unknowingly took is shuddering. | |
| rookie drunk move ok ok ok, first off thanks all to 1. caring about my sobriety, 2. recommending booze alternates, 3. giving me sh*tdeserving of all (though it was quite a tasty unfiltered wheat, hence the desire to drink more instead of less). The cabling I was mo... | |
| Emotiva RSP-2 Preamp users. Goatwuss, i jumped into hi-fi with a couple (biamped) LPA-1's which was their first round offering @ 125W x 7 and the LMC-1 pre/pro. The amps were pretty good sounding, the value for the dollar is high for what you get. I still run the pre/pro fro... | |
| Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ??? these things are going like hotcakes here on the 'gon. i've seen 3 up and 3 down within the last 2 weeks (myself included). should get mine monday. looking forward to it. Rhing I'll hit you up if i want to take it to 11. | |
| "O Perfect Preamp, wherefore art thou?" bypassing cinema can be achieved by level matching speakers via connections from your processor to the Aux inputs and using that setting when you watch movies. | |
| NuForce Power Conditioner PS audio stuff has isolated outlets within one unit. | |
| Ultimate Cables You nailed it. Mind elaborating a bit on the sound? Compared to others? Do you find them 'the best of both worlds'? | |
| Most Rockingest Preamp south of $2k used It's not laid back. it's all there with realism and a sense of involvement unlike other pre's I've had. Vocals pop out of the center. The bass doesn't slam like the Metis I used to have, but it's not lacking. To me, nothing is lacking. Electric gu... | |
| Good budget alternative IC's with Shindo preamp Restock, thanks for making that point earlier. I was wondering the same thing-- general recommendations vs Shindo-specific. I've also gotten 2 direct emails from audiogon dealers smelling blood in the water wanting to sell me their cables. Ill cha... | |
| How do you break in a preamp Yep, follow unit instructions: Power on, play. I personally don't like sitting through the break-in process because it's harder to perceive the differences over time. I prefer to listen at the beginning and take note of initial reactions, let it p... |
