| B&W DM601 S3 versus paradigm and acoustic energy I listened to both and I thought the Triangle Titus ES beat the DM601 S3 very handily. A bit more expensive but worth it. Livelier, much better imaging; more music, no matter what kind.I don't know the AE or Paradigm you mention. Have owned the AE... | |
| What is "polite" sound? Thinking about the question, thank you, I associate "polite" with speed or the lack of it. That connects to three factors: PRaT, dynamics and HF extension. Ouch, what a dismal fate, to be lacking in all of these! The word "polite" is... polite, of... | |

| Linn -- one generation ago I'm aware that my suggestion above is far from a 'pure' Linn system. However I hope it takes advantage of what I see as Linn's two great strengths, as well as keeping to the Linn source-first approach. The two great strengths I mean are their stan... | |
| What song is your fav.Emmylou cut??? That's "Boulder to Birmingham" (CO to AL):I would walk all the wayFrom Boulder to BirminghamIf I thought I could see,I could see your face.and it's my fave too. | |
| Linn -- one generation ago Here's heresy: if I were thinking of setting up a Linn system with older gear today I wouldn't use a Linn player unless it were an Ikemi. I would build an active biamped system using amps made by someone else, preferably tubed, with a pair of Keil... | |
| Bookshelf speakers $2500 or less If they are really for a bookshelf, then the North Kitty Kat Revelator. "Near-wall specific reference monitor." Wish I could have a pair!http://www.northcreekmusic.com/Kitty/Kitty_Kat_Info.htmhttp://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&11718... | |
| Shanling CDT 100 - considering adding a DAC If you want to try a DAC, the Apogee DA-1000E will work with either your Denon or your T100. IMHO it is extremely good sonic value, as good as or better than anything else at its ~$600 price. Note that it has a BNC connector for S/PDIF input, and ... | |
| Shanling CDT 100 - considering adding a DAC For a while I ran my T100 with an Apogee DA-1000E-20. To my ears it was a considerable improvement in terms of immediacy, liveliness, speed and detail.(Of course that begged the question of the transport's contribution to the sound. I discovered t... | |
| Tubes and forced air cooling ... My Shanling tube monos are on the bottom shelf of my 5-shelf rack. Their ceiling is the next shelf up, about 2 inches from the tops of the output tubes. That was too close for me so I removed the second shelf. The amps now have 10 inches of cleara... | |
| Need help with bookshelf speaker choices. . . I run a pair of Triangle Titus ES with an Audio Space tube integrated in a small, rather lively room. The combination is a great success. The amp puts out 16 watts in triode mode, the Tituses are rated 91 dB. I never need to turn the volume up hig... | |

| Recommendation for a new cd player?? I'm using a JAS Audio Musik 1.2 player with my tube integrated. It's a tubed CDP with a 12AX7 in the output stage. Very lively-sounding, lots of detail and good across the spectrum. Nice remote. Price is under your budget. | |
| Most Effective Tweaks AC caps on the line, as Bigkidz sez. Isolation transformers for digital sources and preamps (and amps if you can find & pay for a big one). Isolation footers. | |
| Stupid question on Power Cords? If you are worried about a Chinese made cord, what does that say about the rest of the player?It doesn't say anything about the rest of the player.It says something about the owner's concerns. After reading the OP carefully, it seems to me he has ... |
