| CD-player for $1100 - Can I do any better? Clio09, I have read through many of the related threads here, on AA, and on AudioCircle. It also comes in handy that I am very knowledgable already about generic PC based media servers, networking, ripping, codecs, and all the other stuff that com... | |
| Transport replacement costs - Proceed Thanks for the suggestion, Dne. I've been scratching my head on this one. I am seriously considering putting all my music (either uncompressed or with lossless compression) on to my PC and using something like a Squeezebox in place of my transport... | |
| CD-player for $1100 - Can I do any better? Racerxnet, I am considering this very move. In my setup the Squeezebox makes the most sense. Do you have any firsthand experience with how this sounds compared to a very good transport? | |
| Transport replacement costs - Proceed Update: if it's the same United Radio in Syracuse then they just told me they do not do repair work on Proceed gear. Oh well. | |
| Transport replacement costs - Proceed "Let me know how it works out with United Radio"United RADIO. Duh. They're in East Syracuse, if my Yahoo'ing got me there correctly. They don't show either Madrigal or Proceed as brands they do repair on, but I'll give them a call.Justlisten, SF i... | |
| Transport replacement costs - Proceed Rwwear, is that United Audio Visual on W42nd? | |
| Transport replacement costs - Proceed Justlisten, wow, where are you located? I guess I have to point out that Harman said this is the NTE, and the cost to replace just the transport could be quite a bit less. I just don't feel happy about not even getting a ballpark from them. I mean... | |
| Transport replacement costs - Proceed Rwwear, I did not know about United Radio. I guess the only reason I went straight to Harman is that I could be assured of getting genuine replacement parts, if needed. I could give them a call tomorrow. Thanks for this info. | |
| Vol. Control, TKD Or Dact For Counterpoint Pre ? Thanks all. I guess one of the tricks is figuring the right taper. One of my fellow philes has a Quicksilver preamp that has dual mono 40-something position detented volume controls, making it very easy to have fine gradations between steps. | |
| Vol. Control, TKD Or Dact For Counterpoint Pre ? Does anyone know how either this onehttp://digitalanaloguediy.com/attenuator.htmlor the ones built up with either Holco or Vishays on a Shallco or Elma stepped rotary switch compare?Or does the quality of the switch itself not come into much play? | |
| Signal Cable -- High End Generic? One more thing: do you have a web address for MAS? | |
| Signal Cable -- High End Generic? Mt10425, can you give me your thoughts on what the MAS cables offer in terms of sound? | |
| My experience with long ICs "Used to have this issue with Counterpoint Preamp"S23, are you saying that you had your amplifier blow up like mine did? | |
| My experience with long ICs Hmm, that's another note about a potential ground issue. I am taking this seriously, programmergeek, but my quetion is then why does this not happen with the shorter ICs? | |
| My experience with long ICs rch10, I know this is long but it's been done. In fact, back in the early 90s when I was experimenting with building interconnects and speaker cable, I built an 18 foot pair of ICs using a Belden twinaxial cable in a single ended shield design. Wo... |
