| Modern day female jazz recommendations Sorry about the above response....Bubl'e obviously isn't female. | |
| Buble's interesting comments on recording I have never been into big band stuff until I picked up a Michael Bubl'e CD about a month ago and was blown away. I went straight out and bought everything of his I could find and have been impressed with every single one. Present day Frank Sinatr... | |
| Modern day female jazz recommendations I don't know if you would call this jazz, some Bossa Nova in there and lots of big band but the guy is brilliant - Michael Bubl'e. Was never into this type of music until I heard one of his CDs, now I have them all......in the past month!!Frank Si... | |
| stereo amp vs monoblocks, any advantages? Hi Minori - thanks for some brilliant input! I will definitely be using this advice as a reference when I finally get to hooking up monoblocks. I am using a Pass Labs X250.5 with a Parasound JC2 preamp with Magnepan 1.6QRs and the sound is great. ... | |
| Backlit remote for Bryston BCD1 Yep, I just touch it and "hey presto" it lights up like my Xmas tree....pretty cool!Merry Xmas Al and to all the other fellow Audiogoners who continue to answer my silly questions...very much appreciated!!Thomas | |
| Backlit remote for Bryston BCD1 Hi Almarg, I called the company and figured it out. Hold down the "code" key and type in 792 and this will activate the motion sensor. They don't ship with this activated as it might run the batteries down. | |
| Backlit remote for Bryston BCD1 Thanks Al - the batteries should be ok as I use the remote with no problems. Funny you should say yours is not motion sensitive also. The brochure and manual make no mention that it is motion sensitive, it was only after reading the Stereophile re... | |
| Backlit remote for Bryston BCD1 Thanks guys, looks like you are having a little more luck than me though. I put mine in complete darkness and nothing. The reviewer in Stereophile said "my friends are amazed when they come in and pick up the remote how it lights up". | |
| stereo amp vs monoblocks, any advantages? Thanks Daviakine. Question - what do you mean by crosstalk? | |
| stereo amp vs monoblocks, any advantages? Thanks guys. Kojiki - are you sure about the twice better cable bit? My dealer told me the best length cable to have was 14 ft, but then again the 14ft length was all he had in stock (hehe). I hate the idea of my gear sitting between my speakers, ... | |
| stereo amp vs monoblocks, any advantages? Thanks guys - I still am not seeing that much of an advantage though. That is, on the flexibility of amp placement (I guess you mean you can have them off to the sides), but you would still be stuck because of the interconnects unless you bought l... | |
| Ia a good amp more important than a good DAC? Thanks for the continued input guys, this site is great and I am loving being able to gather all the good info, juggle it around and finally make decisions.Yes, this room treatment thing has me wondering how many people out there that have good sy... | |
| Jumpers and attenuators on Magnepans....... Sorry guys, what I referred to as attenuators are actually reisistors - can these be upgraded? | |
| Jumpers and attenuators on Magnepans....... Hi Lak,I am using a Pass Labs 250.5, so double that into 4 ohms | |
| Ia a good amp more important than a good DAC? Well guys, I have experimented a bit since posting the question that has created a good little debate and this is my take so far. Today I swapped out the Cambridge 840 c (CD player) that costs around $1,400 for one twice the price, a Bryston BCD1.... |
