| New CDP or new DAC? I vote for new DAC.Having to repair well over a hundred CD players, all but a very few came down to the tray/laser assembly. Considering what I hear the street price for those who engage in that kind of repair today, I don't want to invest a large... | |
| Help. JSE Infinite Slope speakers????? If memory serves me correctly, the Model 1.2 slotted below the 1.8. There may have been one model between them at some point, which could be what you have.As you said, it's a shame you can't post photos here. But, can you describe the shape, pleas... | |
| Stereophile vs. Sports Illustrated Marty, your (typically hilarious) post reminded me of a Valentine's Day tradition of a DJ at a local radio station here. Back to back, he'd play "Momma's Got a Squeebox", followed by "Pictures of Lily" - for those of you who have Valentines as wel... | |
| Amps that are "forward" Stanwal's suggestion regarding the room will not be eclipsed. More than ANY other component, the sound of the room will be what you hear when it's all said and done.Ditto for what Tomcy6 said. I'll add that talking about an amplifier without the p... | |
| Any Fried A/6 Owners? My advice is to be judicious regarding Fried loudspeakers. There is a lot of misinformation out there.I have a pair of Fried A/6, and though it took me a long while to cotton to them, now believe they are at least on par with anything available ne... | |
| How many tube watts for Vandersteen 2's? Banquo363, a 20' X 35' requires something serious to pressurize the room the way some require. You did use the word, moderate, so I would say it comes down to how much of a headbanger you are.I agree with Paul's comments regarding the RM10, and he... | |
| How many tube watts for Vandersteen 2's? Believe it or not, the best I've heard Vandersteen 2s (and I've heard them a lot) was with a 35 watt Music Reference RM10 at John Rutan's Audio Connection, when he and I were hanging out with one of his salesmen one afternoon several years ago.Tha... | |
| Hi efficient speaker, bass problems Duke, "Come to think of it, for many years the most natural-sounding bass I'd ever heard was from an IMF transmission line."So many folks who have been fortunate enough to be around Bud Fried's various designs echo the same thing. The corollary is... | |
| Do you do AV at your church or other group events? I'd also like to express my appreciation for being involved - THANK YOU!In keeping with everything else we do, our church has a more than modest A/V system, in both the church itself and the parish hall we meet in after Mass. While we don't have s... | |
| Speaker appearance verses musicality. Shadorne, "My guess is that, for the most part, appearance is at least 50% of the buyer's decision. This hobby is not purely about sound quality."It's obviously still very early in the year, but in my opinion, this will win the "Audiogon Understat... | |
| Preamp modifications - who would you use? Actually, I also agree with Grant. Didn't know the component that was under discussion - my fault. There are a certain level of components that should be left as they were designed and implemented. | |
| Preamp modifications - who would you use? I've met Kyle, he seems like a nice guy.But, knowing the man well and hearing his work through various people I know, I can wholeheartedly recommend Bob Backert of RHB Sound Designs, in the Philadelphia, PA area. | |
| Speaker cable made in USA? Some good suggestions here, thank you!Cardas has been mentioned as well. It came as a surprise to me that all of their cables are made in the USA, from American copper. Based solely on that, they have my recommendation. | |
| Who are these crazy people? We have met the enemy, and he is us. | |
| JADIS ORCHESTRA Aussiedrummer, "I think I will try the KT88 valves as Bob seems to think the amp will be fine with them. He does not see any reason why we can not use them."Trelja, "I have my own opinion on the matter, but suggest you contact Jadis if you are tha... |
