| Which tubed cd player for this system What about Audio Note? | |
| Monoblocks vs Vertical bi-amping vs Horizontal bia It would be hard to combine SET with SS I think since SS usully has more wattage than SET. I was using ARC CA50 (45watts)on HF and Aleph 3 (30 watts) on LF. Theoretically, the HF should be 1.5 db louder, and I definitely can tell the difference. G... | |
| Monoblocks vs Vertical bi-amping vs Horizontal bia Like Rick Martin, I've also used a tube on top and solid state on bottom. It sounded really great, but I didn't want to keep so much money tied up in amps. So, I've moved along.... | |
| 47 Labs "Shigaraki"Integrated Why wouldn't the Shigaraki integrated interface with other brand CD players?I think the 47 Labs' transport and DAC has some special digital connection, but I don't think the amps do. | |
| In over my head. Chuppa, I am not sure what you want. A home theater in the cove that also powers stereo speakers in the main room?How about getting some cheap but high power and quality AV receivers either Denon, Sony, Marantz, Harman Kardon, Nakamichi or NAD tha... | |
| Monoblocks vs Vertical bi-amping vs Horizontal bia I am not sure which is which, vertical and horizontal. But, I believe it is best to use two stereo amps one on the HF and the other on the LF. I think it is much more "sexy" to have monoblocks right next to each speaker. But, I believe it is more ... | |
| How to respond to those who say it's not a hobby? I like slipnot's reply on this thread. I completely agree on his sentiment and is straight to the point. | |
| Review: ISO 1100va AC filter I found the ISO being sold on JC Audio's website with Dave's endorsement. It certainly is eye candy, but it is $1500. How many outlets does this thing have? On the other hand, I found a digital mains filter at http://www.referenceaudiomods.com/Mer... | |
| Second System: Add DAC to Marantz CD Changer? Peter,I have just ordered a set of Channel Islands VDA-1/VAC-1. I am currently using a Meridian 563. I will compare after the new DAC arrives.The VDA-1 is 350 new. VAC-1 is a powersupply upgrade for 160. | |
| How to respond to those who say it's not a hobby? I don't understand how you must hand make things for it to qualify as a hobby. This statement is totally rediculous, unfounded, misleading, and, in an Orwellian kind of way, misconstrues the meaning of a word for one person or parties' selfish int... | |
| Need a center channel speake for KEF 107 surrounds The 200 is in the same series with the KEF REF 2-4. The 100 is in the same series with the KEF REF 103-7. You can find the 100 on ebay most of the time. And, yes the "model" and "ref" 100 are the same. | |
| How to respond to those who say it's not a hobby? I've often talk to my female friends about my audio HOBBY more so than with my male friends. The females I know enjoy music more plus they think the audio components I have and like are aesthetically appealing. When they tell me they spend too muc... | |
| Need a center channel speake for KEF 107 surrounds I use the Reference 100 center with 103/4 fronts for home theater. The Reference 100 is a Uni-Q center designed for the older Reference series speakers. | |
| How much to spend on a cd changer as a transport Those CAL Audio Delta transports are good and cheap. Get a dac with multiple inputs and 3 or 4 Deltas then you got a "dedicated CD changer". | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? I have Mark Levinson stickers all over my Acura. It has improved my audio system by 20%. I am now in the market for some MIT sports grilles and vibropod suspensions to help tighten up the low end and tame those sharp turns. |
