| Can headphones ever be as good as high end stereo? Bfin3,So that this thread doesn't end on a negative note, just try a few high quality phones and you'll learn what many of us already know, i.e. that headphones can give you state of the art sound at a fraction of the price of speakers. A pair of ... | |
| Correct method of hooking up Sonus Faber speakers? I used to use two separate runs of Tara Labs Space and Time speaker cables without jumpers. I have switched to using the jumpers with a single run of heavy Tara Labs RSC Prime Bi-Wire cables. I don't remember reading the SF recommendation of using... | |
| NEED A RECOMMENDATION FOR NEW CD/SACD PLAYER Sid,I completely agree with your comment. I still own a Mac MX-130 preamp and I just bought a tube Mac 275 MkVI. I still believe in their amps and preamps, but their other products are a different story. Buyers beware!! | |
| When I turn it up, it turns down Take the advice you see above. This just happened to me with a Music Hall Maven that I use in a room just for TV sound. I was planning to give it to Goodwill, but just for fun I plugged it back in, and guess what? It worked fine! | |

| Can headphones ever be as good as high end stereo? Bfin3, your problem with your spouse is not unique. For that reason I have been listening to Stax phones for more than twenty years, starting with Lambda Pros driven by an SRM1/Mk2, and now the Lambda Signatures/SRMT1S tube driver. At a recent aud... | |
| California Audio Show 2014 I liked the large room with all of the headphone demos. Maybe that's because I'm in the market for new phones. I liked all of the Audeze models, the Fostex 900s, and the Stax 007 and 009 models. The driver units were impressive, particularly the b... | |
| Anyone into cassettes? Stevecham,Go see Willy Hermann for your Dragon. Nobody does it better! Just my opinion. | |
| Your favourite recording label? Sheffield Direct-to-Disc and early Mobile Fidelity. | |
| Is it worth refurbishing my tube Marantz? When your Marantz pieces come back from L&M, put them up on an auction on Audiogon or Ebay. I'm sure you'll be very pleased at the response. Don't worry, you'll recover your $500! | |
