| SPeakers 90% of your sound Dburdick, change "assuming you had good electronics" to "assuming you had a good source" and I'm with you all the way. Speakers should certainly be upgraded. It's a step in reaching balance. But IMO they should not be upgraded before all the upstr... | |
| SPeakers 90% of your sound Jafox, your point about preamps is well taken. My own Klyne was a surprise. Not too many people seem to know about it, it was hard to find and hear, yet it was several times better than a best-buy Copland tube preamp in my system. In other words, ... | |
| SPeakers 90% of your sound I'm a source sort of guy, but then, I own a Linn LP12 Lingo.Nothing downstream can remove distortion or put back information that was never there in the first place. I've upgraded sources and electronics a few times, but speakers only once. Never ... | |
| Digital cable recommendation I compared equivalent-priced Ensemble and Transparent digital cables to the Wireworld Gold Starlight III and found the Wireworld to be the most detailed and musical. | |
| Jeff gets goosebumps from a Shanling, thanks Toby Hi guys.What Toby says is this : the two players are specialized to do different jobs. The CD-T100 is built to play Red Book CD's. It will do this beautifully. This is its purpose. The CD-T100 won't play SACD'S at all.The T200 will play SACD's bea... | |
| will a receiver upgrade make a enough difference My experience is that _any_ speaker, except perhaps one that's broken already, will let you hear an improvement in upstream equipment.To try this out, maybe you could take your speakers in to a store which sells really good stuff--like maybe an Au... | |
| source disappointment As a Linn Sondek owner I can sympathize with your search for the best possible source. My own opinion is different from Hdm's--I think there is a lot to gain from looking high up the scale. Higher than Arcam. I would compare both your players with... | |
| What is Resistance and Capacitance in TT's? To quote the manual for my Klyne SK-5A preamp, "The effect of loading a cartridge with a relatively low value of input resistance is to provide some dynamic electrical damping of the moving coil generating assembly. In general, a higher input resi... | |
| Solid state amp ultimate stop... Haven't heard Pass... best I've heard is Simaudio, their Dynaudio setup with the Moon Rock monoblocs, or more realistically, the Moon W-5 stereo power amp. | |
| I'm trying Shanling SP-80 monoblocs at home... It seemed natural to try the amps, since I already had the player. Besides the matching looks, though, they are technically interesting because they seem to have won a tradeoff. They use an output tube which is held to be very good-sounding but do... | |
| I'm trying Shanling SP-80 monoblocs at home... Thanks for providing the link, Albert. Wish I'd thought of that !Toby | |
| Amphion Speakers?? Need opinions about them For whatever it's worth: from having heard Amphion floorstanding two or 21/2-ways at the Montreal show two years ago, I would agree that they were on the analytical side. They were nevertheless quite involving. | |
| What's up with the analog "echo" phenomenon? Thanks for the info, Imin2U. It makes sense that studios would be aware of the print-through phenomenon, and do something about it.It also makes sense that some would be careless, either in storage or on the lathe. I have a certain number of discs... | |
| +++Magnum Dynalab MD-208 Reciever+++ I haven't heard a 208 but I have heard the SimAudio amp which is in it. I've heard lots of NADs, I even own one, but my own main amp is a Sim and that's the one I like to listen to. In my view there is no comparison between NAD and SimAudio for sm... | |
| Best CD player under $500 used? I like Sugarbrie's suggestion for a used CD6 and a power cord upgrade. The CD4-CD4a-CD6 series was good value for the money.I also like the Shanling CD-S100 / Music Hall CD25 player. You can get it new for under $500 and it will sound better than ... |
