| Best Pre-amp for $500?? Just did a quick search on Fleabay looking for a CP35 and came across this... I've owned 2 Yaqin products, they were both quite good. This looks to be a steal and later you can roll tubes.... I'll point you to a couple DAC's under $100 if intere... | |
| Best Pre-amp for $500?? Digital inputs? as in Optical? USB? Coax? So, you are confirming the questions that you want an on board DAC? I can understand that. I would only comment that the quality level of a few of these preamps mentioned are far above anything that ... | |
| best integrated amp. this competes with the best of them... the best for one guy, another one, not so much, But very nice by anybody's standard. Coda CSIBhttp://coda-continuum.com/product/index.php | |
| Best Pre-amp for $500?? well, I answered your thread for a $400 preamp.... The suggestions here are similar... When you get to that $700ish price point, things change....At that price I would look at an Adcom GFP750 (Only this model in Adcom).... I would look for a Muse... | |
| Buying Without Audition Hi Larstusor, You're in a spot that plenty have been in...sometimes with the demand on family it is impossible to leave for a couple of days, so I understand that you can't go listen.... Your only other option is to shop and educate yourself as... | |
| Thorens TD 125 MK II with TP 16 tonearm - What's it worth? Hi hockey4496, when set up properly that Thorens is a fine table for the buck. I looked at the Craigslist ad. A headshell & belt will be around $100. Sitting for so many years, I would check it over carefully and getting perfect alignment on t... | |
| Would a Technics SL-1200 MK2 be an upgrade from a Denon DP-31L? Here you go: butyl tape.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/440-Butyl-Tape-Seal-RV-Windows-Ducting-Great-seal-for-many-applications-/272... | |
| Dunlavy SC-V questions Seems like a decent price for a pair in good shape, I'd have a hard time biting on something @ $4000 that looked rough...On the other hand, if the veneers are in good shape, re gluing isn't too tough. Good luck, Tim | |
| Be careful when dealing with Pyon Sound - John Park Even though I understand the attitudes of a few post that basically say "there's a sucker born every minute"..... overall, I believe that people should represent their products correctly in advertising. I haven't had it happen, but I can easily... | |
| Would a Technics SL-1200 MK2 be an upgrade from a Denon DP-31L? Hi hockey4496, sorry for the confusion, no, not on top, on the underside and you'll need to make sure that you have clearance for your platter to spin. You don't want the butyl to rub on anything and affect the speed of your platter by rubbing. | |
| What makes an expensive speaker expensive Hi gdhal, The Golden Ear, specifically the Triton line are a perfect example of this entire conversation.... To be fair to The Alta Statements, they appear by my feeble eyes to be Morel and Raal. The Morel Midrange and the Raal Tweeters alone... | |
| Would a Technics SL-1200 MK2 be an upgrade from a Denon DP-31L? Hi hockey4496, Not sure that I'll be a help here... I've seen raul chime in saying that your table is already better than a Technics 1200. I have no direct experience with your model. I have had A DP59 and a DP60L at my home for a few weeks e... | |
| Would a Technics SL-1200 MK2 be an upgrade from a Denon DP-31L? Thanks raymonda, that's all reasonable. I have owned 2 different KD600's with a Linn arm and an AT arm. It was nice sounding | |
| Would a Technics SL-1200 MK2 be an upgrade from a Denon DP-31L? Hi raymonda, I'm under the impression that hockey4496 is on a budget. What would you buy at $400 that significantly beats it. I agree that the arm in the 1200 is the weak link, but replace the arm cable, heat shrink the tube and add a decent mediu... | |
| Would a Technics SL-1200 MK2 be an upgrade from a Denon DP-31L? Well,I have got 2 cents worth. I've used and modded Technics 1200's. It does look like a DJ table, but dead stock, I prefer it over most entry level tables. The audio Technica mentioned, needs the phono pre removed at a minimum and really could u... |
