| Adding an equalizer Warner is right about the Tact. I am looking into getting one but have to "dial in" my new speakers, pre-amp, and cables before doing so. May be doing this backward but I want to get the best from them in the room now and then later check out the ... | |
| Shania Twain Best of... WOW I have always Sorry, but Shania's music always sounds way over produced, unspontaneous, and sometimes more than a little forced - just the opposite of Allison's stuff. I think an executive from Twain's record label said it best a few months ago: "We've got a gr... | |
| Help me pick what I need, Plzzzzzz You might want to try a TV website but then again, maybe someone here can help out! | |
| Supratek ?? I sold my turntable 6-7 years ago as it only got in the way of trying to enjoy CDs. At the time 20 and 24/96 remasterings were just coming out and the future of digital looked quite bright. Problem was that every time I played a good record on the... | |
| Adding an equalizer Properly designed equalizers such as RIVES, Accuphase, Z-Systems, etc. can help correct room/speaker problems. Most high end designers of amps/pre-amps like to keep circuits as simple as possible thus the lack of tone controls and this has been go... | |
| Push pull 300B amplifiers I've had no experience with Canary amps but a friend whose ears I trust has - he says they are very well made and quite musical. Also have had no experience with P/P 300B amps since I'm quite happy with my 300B SET at this point. However, at $200.... | |
| The Doors on Vinyl or CD I actually quite like the rather new remastered redbook CDs. | |
| Tube magic in solid state? Gregadd - STOP SHOUTING! | |
| questions about tubes - to experts I presume you're talking about 300B tubes? If so, I know nothing about EHs as have always used Western Electric. But I'm considering getting some Sophias just for fun - maybe the new Princesses. | |
| ProAc Tablette 50 vs Linn Katan As an owner and lover of ProAc Response 2.5s, I have to say every iteration of the Tablette I've heard has been unlistenable - hard and etched. I've heard them from the first model in 1984 through the Sig series. They literally drove my wife from ... | |
| Merlin VSM vs. Gallo Reference 2 or 3 Check the various threads here for lots of discussions about the VSMs in all the different iterations. Also check Stereophile website as they did a review a couple years ago of the latest version. | |
| Placette Passive Owners... Howie - I had tried a number of tube and SS pre-amps over the years (from $2,500.00 to $8,500.00) and found the Placette most musically satisfying in my system. However, the Joule-Electra was recommened by a few people and I bought one sight/sound... | |
| DAC for my HHB Burnit Kimber (Illuminati) D60 digital cable is quite nice. Don't know anything about suggested proper lengths, though. | |
| "The Law of Diminishing Returns"??? It's also what you like to hear in music and what you buy. You may find a $1,000.00 DAC that produces wonderful music but I can't think of an amp at the price which will do the same. Same for pre-amp and speakers. However, there is no "break-off" ... | |
| Rectifier tubes? I may try the Sophia version just for fun but am still using the RCA which sounded just fine last night. I will use it until finding someone for testing and always have the other two for replacements. Why can't new tubes be made like the old ones?... |
