| Funniest agon screen names One of my favorites is "Heyitsmedusty." I don't know why, it just hits me. Glad mine isn't that long though. | |
| System too harsh Help Musicnoise, I like the way you think except I would put source at #3. Of course this holds true only after you have decided SS or tube for amplification. | |
| DBX decoder software I recently sold a dbx 222 which could be used to decode the dbx encoded lps. It could also encode/decode for tape, which is what I used it for. Pretty sure it was the least expensive unit to do what you want. Of course the output is analog.They ar... | |
| Polk Audio Speakers The LSi series is available at the local Fry's Electronics. If you have a Fry's check them out but be advised they won't be auditioned in optimum conditions. | |
| REVIEW: Oppo DV980H I'll give you 20 bucks for the Oppo.But seriously, I purchased a 980H a few months ago to use as a cheap transport with a Bel Canto Dac2. It served its purpose there, but I agree it's nothing special as a stand alone player. Haven't used it for vi... | |
| Which is for me, floorstanding, or books w subs? In your price range a pair of Polk Audio speakers such as these is what I'd look at. Not these specifically but in the ball park. Oh yea, no affiliation with the seller I just think Polk speakers are good for what you want. | |
| Anyone else miss audiophile nervosa? I've been hanging out here since 01 and have made countless upgrades over the years. Right now I'm at a place similar to Chadnliz; my system is ideal for the small room it's in. When I sit down to listen I am extremely happy with where the music t... | |
| Remotes: Who needs 'em? It's pervasive no doubt. Look at the auto industry. The other day I listened to a piece on NPR about the high price of gas. They were profiling a family with five children living in Ohio. The father of the children drove a Ford Excursion while his... | |
| what are"fun" speakers? On a whim I bought a pair of Usher S-520s with the bright yellow finish (fantastic finish). You better believe they got attention from anyone entering my listening room. They were fun to listen to and also fun to look at. When I sold them I listed... | |
| Suggestions on an integrated w/ digital inputs? There is a Primare CD21 listed on Agon now. That could solve your problem if you are happy with the Arcam. As to the original question though, I'm a bit confused. You say you want to stay with your cdp's dac, well using the digital input on an int... | |
| How many of us look under the hood?? I remove the cover of nearly every piece I own; mainly to check the parts/build quality. Sometimes to mod with better connectors or wiring. | |
| Remotes: Who needs 'em? I sold the wonderful sounding Portal Panache because it lacked remote. The Panache was beautifully simple; volume, balance and source switch. On/off, volume and mute are all I want but I do want them.You do seem a tad angry though. | |
| I got around $2000 to play with.... I'm not a fan of the Music Hall cdp you're looking at. I thought it was bright/brittle, but I am in a minority here. I much preferred the warm/smooth sound of the NAD C-541i. I owned them both at the same time. As for new speakers in your price ra... | |
| Where to put my Shakti stone? Ya gotta admit, the way the question is worded it just begs for it. | |
| Where to put my Shakti stone? I'm wondering how many replies have been nixed by the moderator. I'm sure my immediate response would've been. |
