| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Is that not how this thread started?? Yes it is. We’ve got 10 pages of posts accumulated over almost two months. Do we need to start over again, or have our positions on that been pretty well aired? I don’t want to stifle debate, though. Feel free... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Any specifics on what turntables, cd players and amps were used, which specific recordings? Those details could affect the outcome pretty significantly and I’d hate to have to throw away my cd player and solid state amp.I can understand that if th... | |
| Is there an actual difference between AB and A/AB ? Are you saying that amps like Pass Labs do not operate in class A up to a certain wattage or are you just saying that those amps should be called AB not A/AB? | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD chadsort, Whatever happened with your turntable? Did you get it sorted out, move up the chain, give up on it, or what? | |
| Problem with Esoteric service jnovak, From your first post it sounds like you're leaving the player on at all times. If you are, try shutting it off and unplugging it for a minute. It's worth a try. | |
| Pro v Audiophile - Science v Snake Oil? As the years have rolled by I increasingly find myself asking whether by reading domestic audio magazines and the like, I was on the wrong road all along. cd318, IMHO, you have not been on the wrong road all along. The philosophy behind audiophil... | |
| Pro v Audiophile - Science v Snake Oil? Pro gear is used to record music. If you thank that the pros are making good sounding recordings, go with the pro stuff. If you think recordings need a little help to sound good, check out audiophile gear. | |

| How much are these tubes worth? The price I quoted above was for the pair of Teles. Look them up on ebay there are plenty for sale there. | |
| How much are these tubes worth? Telefunken 12AX7 that test new are probably worth $125 and up, depending on the cosmetic condition, how closely matched the triodes are (2 triodes per tube), how much over new they test, etc. If they test below new, the price drops rapidly. | |
| What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker? Thank you again everyone. Don't worry, I'm not going to try to replace parts in the crossover. I'm not saying that those who suggested that are wrong, it's just that I don't have the skills required.I am trying the simplest, least expensive so... | |
| Pass - Auralic - TAD System - Thoughts / Changes ? How do you like the sound you have now? Do voices sound natural? What changes would you like to hear? More bass? Smoother sound? | |
| What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker? Thank you everyone for sharing your ideas and experiences. There's a lot to try in your suggestions and I'm sure something will work. For fellow Evolution One owners, yes they are really good speakers. I'm looking forward to getting them soundi... | |
| What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker? Thanks everyone for your replies. They are varied as one would expect.My room is far from ideal, but I don’t think it’s having a major impact on this problem. The listening area is carpeted and has a fabric sofa and chair and the house has an open... | |
