| s video cable Cables equipped with RCA-type connectors can be either better or worse than S-video cables. The triple set of RCAs in a component video cable will give the best picture, if your player or receiver can use it. The single RCA connector of a composit... | |
| Linn Classik All-in-one box solutions For a 2-box solution, I agree on the Classik with an LK85. Also consider the other way around: a Genki with a Majik.One-box solutions are pretty much limited to Linn, NAD and Arcam at the moment. OTOH the Magnum Dynalab MD-208 has no CD player, bu... | |
| best amp / amps to drive totem mani-2's I heard that C-J demo and I agree it was very convincing. I went to Audioville and heard the same thing there and it was just as good. I've heard Bryston with the Mani-2s as well and it was OK but the big solid-state winner was SimAudio. A marriag... | |
| Great music but poor recording recommendations. Sting's collection, what was it called, the goldy-yellow cover, a double LP. Wretched recording and wonderful songs. | |
| Other than the SOUND, what do you love the most? My Shanling SP-80s at night. Amber tube glow, green LED display, blue power indicator, all reflecting off gold, stainless steel and champagne anodizing... sound like overkill but when the room is dark it's very cool.My Klyne SK-5A's circuit layout... | |
| Most musical S.S. Amp under 2k used ? It's not actually unusual, but my goodness you have a long list. I haven't heard any of them, although I have heard other gear by most of those same manufacturers. My wild guess is you haven't heard most or all of these units either.The thing is t... | |
| A simple question from the new guy .... What I find interesting about the better vinyl playback gear is that it seems to minimize the importance to the music of those pops and ticks. They may be there, but they don't bug me.Some TT systems seem to exaggerate surface noise. Perhaps this ... | |
| NAD 314 vs. C320BEE Quangle, I agree with Kotta that the Rotel 855 is an excellent player for the money. Mine was not as smooth in the midrange as my Cambridge CD4 but it had cleaner highs and more bass.Both these players should cost around $100 used. They are both g... | |
| NAD 314 vs. C320BEE Move up in class means that you may have to spend money, unfortunately. NAD gear is in a class which is built to a certain price level. This is not bad; it is a challenge to a designer and sometimes the solution is very elegant indeed, but the lim... | |
| NAD 314 vs. C320BEE We have 320BEEs as bedroom amps. They are a good deal and sound nice when warmed up but they do not have the resolution of a better solid-state unit. You'll use your money more wisely if you follow Kotta's advice and move up in class when you want... | |
| Digital music sales to outpace CD sales You're a truly generous man Plato, but since these CD-only units are going to get scarcer and scarcer, I believe my T1 will have collectible status shortly :o) | |
| Digital music sales to outpace CD sales You might see the emergence of "audiophile" download sites, which offer higher resolution downloads--at higher resolution prices, of course. But if they happen, they will be even less significant in the mareketplace than audiophile labels are toda... | |
| Opinion on Turntable & Transport / DAC. Given a well-made recording either digital or analog, a CD system can sound as satisfying as an analog system. In my humble experience though, a CD system cannot sound better. |
