| Best female vocals on CD I remember a few years ago there was speculation the remaining Beatles might do a tour, adding a forth person. Some of the nominations were ridiculous and would have diluted them so much...who were they? I think Tom Petty, Ron Wood, and a few othe... | |
| Best female vocals on CD Going back to the 70s and 80s, Flora Purim was incredible, with energy and range that would not quit. I see her and Airto every time they come to town, and over the last aprx. 10 yrs, she's had trouble with her voice. The last time I saw her, abou... | |
| Bel Canto EVO 200.2 How would you expect this amp to perform in stereo mode with B&W 803 Nautilus speakers, and what might be good choices in preamps for this set-up? | |
| Best Silver ICs under 300? A critical factor in buying and assembling DIY cable is the surface smoothness of the wire (as well as purity, which is not unusual to be overclaimed without certification). You may be able to buy a roll of silver wire quite inexpensively, but the... | |
| Tri-Wire Cables Hi Bwhite,At $20 a foot plus termination, I could make you up a set of DH Labs Q-10 for triwiring. I'd like to know the driver configuration and which driver each post set is connected to, but assuming it's a 3 way crossover, you can go with one Q... | |
| I opened both MIT and Transparent netwks I took apart the high end BBQ model. What appeared to be its main design element related to performance was the carbonized layer where the 'skin effect' occurs. | |
| Integra Pre/Pro? Audio Refinement, built and designed by YBA at more affordable cost points, is coming out with a new 6.1 channel preamp processor in about one month that will retail price at just $1295. Audio Refinement makes wonderful equipment at very affordabl... | |
| Is Paypal safe? I've been using PayPal probably a couple hundred times or more since near the time of it's inception, so I'm speaking from alot of experience.Your credit card and money are as safe as it can get sending it by internet, and if your card number ever... | |
| Best Car Stereo I used to be heavily into car stereo. The MB Quarts are very hard to beat unless you go esoteric (horns under dash, etc.), and are pretty reasonably priced. They can have a tendancy to be bright in car at around 8kHz if you mount the tweeters high... | |
| Anybody know about "tube buffers". Skip the tube buffer thing...been there, done that...put an MSB Link DAC in its place and the tube buffer only got in its way. Get yourself a sweet MSB Link DAC III if you're on a budget, and it should really have you smiling. A Perpetual Technolo... | |
| I need tube sound without the tubes I'd agree on the Audio Refinement Complete. Very lush tubelike sound. Stereophile rated Class B $$$. I sell them new for $895, but honestly, if you can pick up one like the fellow listed above in fine condition, save yourself about $250 on a good ... | |
| Hum in the system I just thought I'd update what ended up happening with Shiv's DAC hum. We first dropped the ground, which worked for about a day. After being left on all night without the ground, the entire DAC died. I suspected power supply (wall wart) problems,... | |
| DAC-Help Just another possibility to consider...Lasers do burn out, and if your unit has been getting alot of use, it might be a cause. Typically when a laser is burning out, the sound starts to go blank for brief spurts. | |
| DACS - Need Advice This might not be the BEST DAC for under $1000, but it's a heck of a bargain. Retailing for $399 (I have a couple brand new ones to sell for $359 incl. shipping), it gets you into Stereophile Class B $$$ (very high value) rating. who also co-named... |
