| Finding the ultimate universal player Check out reviews of the Arcam DV 139, The Sony DVP 9100ES and the Integra high end universal. and Esoteric DV 50 and 60. All were top of the class 2 or 3 years ago. | |
| CDP with minimal controls on front panel The Lector 0.6t twin tube cd player has only two buttons.One for open/close and one for play. That's it. There is one power switch. Everything else you need is found on the remote, so yes you need to keep track of the remote or program a universal... | |
| CD-Receiver Recommendations Check out Aura Note also. They make a very nice all in one. | |
| Trusted tubemeisters Vintage tube services, and Brent Jesse gets my vote also. | |
| Belles 350A vs McCormack DNA-225 for Usher BE-718 Let us know what you think of the Belles after you have a chance to let it settle into your system. I think you will find it similar to the McCormack. Either way you made the right choice. They are both excellent choices. Good luck! | |
| Would you pay to listen? No. WHY?... I have listened to $100k systems and maybe more. They sound good to excellent. Some I thought they were just putting expensive stuff together in a room for that WOW factor. (A lot of sizzle but no steak!) It is not even remotely necess... | |
| Emotiva LMC/UMC upgrade - better audio? Stick with the LMC-1. It was designed and built to be an over achiever. You will need to spend three or four times to get the quality and features included in this pre/amp/processor. plus you get a 50 watt amp and HDMI to boot. Use good quality ca... | |
| Art Dudley Listening - Stereophile Dec '09 Nordost Ditto^ It all starts with the PC and proper AC grounding and distribution. None of your componets will work without power. It starts the whole process of exciting electrons. Spend your money on PC and distribution, the fewer filters the better. Yo... | |
| Belles 350A vs McCormack DNA-225 for Usher BE-718 I have owned McCormack for the last eight years. I would highly recommend them above many others. I have used them with Dynaudio, Vienna Acoustics, Mirage, Volent and TAD. Read the reviews they are true. The McCormack traits are: Fast, Detailed, N... | |
| How to test used / ex-demo speakers? You could try a test CD with test tones and frequency sweeps to get the drivers and tweeters activated in a short period of time. Plus you can control the tracks listened to and how often and at what sound level, repeat etc. Most music is less dyn... | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? Absolutely, Especially if they like music. There is also a good chance she likes to dance. Hopefully she and you have rhythm, and a good sense of the beat.(Not all people do). If she does like music she may have never experienced what her favorite... | |
| Vacuum tube exercise equip at the gym? Do you experience lush highs but still suffer from a flabby base when working out? ;} | |
| HD Tracks--clock with sundial? No it is not the norm. Usually takes a minute or two if you have broadband or DSL service. Dial up service may take quite awhile depending on connection speed. You may try direct connection to your modem if you are using a wi fi router. Keep us po... | |
| CDPs That Have Volume Control +Variable Output Less is better only if the quality of the components used and the skill of the designer are superior to the one who designed the pre amp. Pre amps are designed specifically to handle the low level input signals from your source components and deli... | |
