Help finding used SS with unity gain, $1K - $1.5K
Well, I'm trying to integrate my 2 channel high end gear so that I can use it in the same room as my MC rig. I had posted some other threads about this, but the bottom line is that I am now living in a house that does not allow me to support these... 
Help finding used SS with unity gain, $1K - $1.5K
Thanks for your input, John. My experience in listening to preamps is not recent. I've had mine for over 12 years, and back then I did compare it to Classe, Bryston, Rowland, and others. Back then I found the Classe preamps to be a bit warmer and ... 
Audiogon and the Hi-Fi Mags
Well, my thoughts are much like many of the others here. I've been heavily into high end for close to 30 years. In that time I've subscribed and let lapse my subscriptions to TAS, Stereophile, Fi (remember them?), Audio, What HiFi?, and others mor... 
EAD lovers: tell me about the $10K TM Sig Classic
Thanks for that info Michael. I wound up getting a used EAD Encore for a great price here on AgoN, and sent it in to Boelen Electronics (the place where many of the original EAD guys now call home). They are upgrading it to a Signature 8 - which h... 
Anyone heard the Onkyo sp 1000 yet?
Yes, I think in Lanny's case he did not have an opportunity to listen to both at the same time. But I did momentarily forget that he had at least a chance to hear both in some fashion.It's a strong case for the Onkyo. As I still have a dedicated 2... 
Anyone heard the Onkyo sp 1000 yet?
Ears, one other thing: I can't find any reference in HCC that they ever reviewed the DV9500. 
Anyone heard the Onkyo sp 1000 yet?
Well, I can't answer that, but for me it's a matter of reviewing all the published material, but more importatntly hearing from real users and then listening for myself. That takes a little time for me, anyway.I don't put much stock in published r... 
Tinnitus - do you have ringing in the ears?
Thanks for all this info, Larry. 
Anyone heard the Onkyo sp 1000 yet?
Ears, is the the February or March issue of HTC? 
Tinnitus - do you have ringing in the ears?
Larrman, can you tell us about any faciilties that specialize in this problem? I'm in the Philadelphia area, and I've been to two ENTs so far, with no real insight being given on what to do. 
Tinnitus - do you have ringing in the ears?
I've done a bit more research and have come across some info indicating that tinnitus could be caused by certain kinds of head trauma. It got me thinking. In mid November my wife and I went to the Philadelphia Kimmel Center to hear some jazz. As I... 
what speakers for 4k or less new or used
Shahinian Obelisks. If you have nothing against a polyradial design they are the cat's meow in this price range. Midrange to soothe the soul, and very fine bass and high end extension to boot. 
Tinnitus - do you have ringing in the ears?
Chuck, I just seem to have developed a case of tinnitus myself. Been to the ENT. No blockage or fluid; hearing test result was "perfect" in their words. They put me on Flonase, as I also have bad sinus congestion. In your use of H2O2 is it stright... 
Onkyo DV-SP1000 Universal Player
I shot him a note.I don't mean to suggest a RAM'ed 4960 will not sound good (or even great). Additional searching shows me they have quite a fine reputation for this kind of work, as do many of the modders often mentioned here on AgoN. But I go ba... 
Onkyo DV-SP1000 Universal Player
Lanny, I looked at RAM's website. They seem to have it all covered, but one thing I did not see (and didn't expect to) was any mention of DAC replacement. I'm of the feeling that along with all these great analog and PS mods, the digital section h...
