| Von Schweikert VR5 or Aerial 10T I too own 10t's and agree with Beemer's comments above. Michael Kelly has done a fine job of meeting the needs of the HT market with his center, surround and subwoofer. However, the excellent reputation he enjoys was founded on the 10t's in a two ... | |
| Digital Front End.. help please To the best of my knowledge CEC is alive and well and is owned by Parasound who does all the repair work on them. I would not worry about it. Parasound certainly is not going anywhere. I have had no problem with mine and I've owned it for almost 3... | |
| Digital Front End.. help please If you really want to save on the transport I'd suggest a Sony DVP S-700 DVD player. These are very highly regarded as a transport and can be had very cheaply at $3-400. I've used one for a few years now for my video system and they are very well ... | |
| Digital Front End.. help please I am not familar with the Vecteur D-2 so cannot comment. How much does it cost? I've seen some pretty good deals on the TL2. They are built like tanks and easily serviced by Parasound if necessary. | |
| Is there an integrated amp that can beat my... I would agree that your source components are not even in the same league as the rest of your system and would focus my energy there. You will not find anything better than the Rowland gear, only different. | |
| Digital Front End.. help please Audio Logic 34 DSM with a CEC TL2 transport. If you want analog sound this combo is as close as I've been able to get to my Well-Tempered Reference Table. I've tried a lot of DACs and CD players and they all sound digital to me. I am on my second ... | |
| high end audio insurance? If you have a home owner's policy with replacement cost coverage your audio equipment is covered. That means if you have an amp that is made by Classe that is no longer in production your insurance company will pay for the equivalent current model... | |
| Best live album you've ever heard? I agree with Twl, Brand X Livestock is a remarkable performance by musicians in a whole different league than most of those mentioned above (Percy Jones' bass work is incredible)and a superb live recording. | |
| How good is a ModWright modified Sony DVP S9000ES My question is why would anyone spend that kind of money ($1400, tough indeed!)to mod what is already an excellent player. One thing is for sure, you will never get your money out of it if you decide to sell it later on. If you really feel that it... | |
| any comments on the threshold fet ten/hl pre-amp? For $750 I'd be looking for an Audible Illusions Modulus 3. When it comes to preamps you will probably be much more happy with tubes than solid state (with the possible exception of some models that are way out of your price range). Another excell... | |
| What group do you wish would be remastered? Sean....Jethro Tull's early work with the exception of 'Benefit' has all been remastered on vinyl at least once. 'This Was' is available from EMI and is an excellent recording. I bought this album when it first came out and still consider it to be... | |
| I give UP Aerial 10Ts and Power Amps This is the second or third time you've run this post about your 10t's for which you've received all sorts of advice. You now state that you do not really listen to music that loud and only want to know the limits of your system. So now it would s... | |
| Audible Illusions M3 vs M3A -- Worth the extra ? Billimbriale....It has been my observation over the years that the used market price is more relative to supply and demand than sonics. Demand is not always based on sound quality, but rather what is currently popular. Of course there are many fac... | |
| Audible Illusions M3 vs M3A -- Worth the extra ? I've owned both as well and to me the 3A is worth the difference especially at the price I've seen some going for lately. The 3 is very musical, just not as dynamic and not as well controlled in the bottom end. You will want a phono cartridge with... | |
| Suggestions For Phono Preamp.... EAR 834P is an excellent choice and comes with a volume control so you need no other preamp. Personally I think the stock tubes (EI Yugos anyway, not sure what comes with them now) sound great, which is not to say that some NOS may not be even bet... |
