| Will it work? Copland preamp and Moon I-5 Int Amp Unless the manual for the Moon says that a set of the inputs bypasses the preamp section I would assume that they don't. You can call Moon and confirm. | |
| What does Uhqr mean concerning records? UHQRs do not always live up to the name. Listen or get recommendations before you buy. | |
| AR DS 450 efficiency at what sonic price? Some people love class D amplifiers others will only listen to tubes or class A amplifiers. As usual, you must listen and decide for yourself. I generally prefer the more inefficient amplifiers.On a side note, our so called leaders (both parties) ... | |
| Amps in the same class as Pass XA.5 series Thanks for the replies everyone. There is some diversity of opinion but as usual some strong opinions about Pass XA.5 amps. Class D amps are gaining some supporters too.Is there something fundamentally different about class A amps or can a class A... | |
| Amps in the same class as Pass XA.5 series Thanks for the reply Mechans. It's all subjective in this hobby isn't it? I don't get the oportunity to hear a wide variety of gear so I'd just like to get some names to consider. | |
| cd storage Here's exactly what you are looking for. Industrial strength, scalable, and you can put them on wheels. I recommend getting some better casters than Can Am offers or the Can-Am caddy though, because when these cabinets are full they are heavy.Also... | |
| Comments on Amphion Speakers, Please Thanks for the comments. I would like to use solid state electronics with the Amphions, something like a c-j 2250a or Audio Research 100.2. From the comments made I'm guessing that these combos would probably result in a lean rather than warm soun... | |
| Pass XA30.5 enough power for Wilson Sophia 2? Input impedance is low in the Pass XA.5 amps. That could be a factor. | |
| USB Cards to Replace Compact Discs? After waiting years for the high-res downloads that are always "coming real soon", I'll believe it when I hear it. That type of format would fine with me, though. | |

| What is Musicality? A musical system will cause your foot to tap and you to think only about how good the music sounds or to get lost in a pleasant reverie. If you are thinking about how detailed the sound is or how tight the bass is or how sharp the transient edges ... | |
| Robert Johnson's records mastered at wrong speed? Somebody needs to run this by Honeyboy Edwards. I believe he is one one of the last people around who played with Johnson. Talk about acoustic memory, this would be a new record. | |
| Is Esoteric SA-10 sonically as good as DV-50 or 60 I have not heard either digital player but folks often comment that Esoteric players are a little on the hifi side as opposed to the musical side of the spectrum. Other people object that those folks must be deaf, of courseI recommend the PS Audio... | |
| tube damper help Herbies makes good tube dampers. They can be effective in quieting microphonic tubes. | |
| Plinius SS or Cayin SET I have not heard either of those systems and don't think anyone could tell you which you would prefer. I'd say if you like to tinker with and tweak your system give the Cayin a try. If you want to be able to just turn it on and play music and be a... |
