| Is there a decent used transport for under $300? thanks for the insights timrhu and dla405j. i think for the amount of money i'm willing to spend it seems a used transport only unit would be my best bet, i can always update the dac later. of course, i'm happy to entertain any claims to the contr... | |
| Is there a decent used transport for under $300? oh yeah, another question about the CAL transports: do they play ripped cdrs? | |
| Is there a decent used transport for under $300? thanks again, i did a quick search for the oppo and got some mixed reviews, as well as some confusion about which model is best for audio only and to be used as a transport only. it seems a dedicated transport would make more sense than a player w... | |
| Is there a decent used transport for under $300? thanks for the responses...these are players not transports so are you saying these players should sound/perform better than my cheap dac cheap transport combo idea? I wouldn't be surprised, though I did read that the Sony 9000es and sony players ... | |
| Are modern speakers better than old speakers? interesting...depending on how one measures, which is a BIG, multifaceted issue, many technologically-based commodities, cars, athletes, etc., are "better," at least with most more-or-less objective measurements (a term itself at issue), so it wou... | |
| Best sub/sat for 600.00 or under? the best speakers i have heard in that price range are the ones i own: tekton design single driver, crossover-less fostex 6 inchers @ $350/pair. i don't own a sub but tekton makes a 10 inch sub for $350 and an 8 incher for $300. these are all hand... | |
| What is the best used sub-$500 DAC? Thanks for all the responses. i'm usng a trends audio class t (TA 10.1) amplifier and a pair of tekton design 6 inch fostex full range speakers and plan to replace the amp with something low powered and single-ended. what about the venerable CAL S... | |
| bypassing a crossover in a two-way wow, that is a darn good idea, i will definitely do that.thanks for the suggestion, i can't wait to try it | |
| bypassing a crossover in a two-way eldartfordit is the same single driver used in the (subsequent)crossoverless design, it is full range to 10kh and the crossover was removed in the later model so it could be directly wired, though the SUPER tweeter was retained with a capacitor. t... | |
| bypassing a crossover in a two-way 240zracer, i'll email the manufacturer with your info and see what he says...the main driver should be flat to 10,000 Hz ...thanks! | |
| bypassing a crossover in a two-way it sounds like 240zracer and gregm are saying the same thing, which finally occured to me at lunch today...at least they seem to be saying the same thing (tweeter + goes to cap and other end of cap to + binding post, then negative tweet wire strai... | |
| bypassing a crossover in a two-way thanks for your help...do i have this right? i connect the main driver directly to the binding post. in addition, i put the capacitor inbetween the positive binding post and the positive wire of the tweeter. if so, what happens to the negative twe... | |
| cheapest decent low powered integrated w/ sub out thank you both so much because that opens up so many more amps as options and just simplifies things generally...i imagine this is also more or less the case even if one is using a single driver crossover-less main speaker? (i'm not in search of s... | |
| how to tell if a TAD 803 is 2005 2 way version? Paul Grzybek e-mailed me that most crossover-less TADs have two cut outs in the grill frame (which mine do not), but then the person who sold them to me said he got them from Paul in 2006 when the crossover-less design was first produced, then Pau... | |
| how to tell if a TAD 803 is 2005 2 way version? well said music doc, you are correct, i overstated my criticism as i am a writer and particularly sensitive to how words come across anonomously, like you said "on a screen devoid of intonation or intention." well said indeed.in my humble defense,... |
