| Best small/monitor/bookshelf speakers? Thanks two you both for the responses. My post my be a little missleading. These are both secondary systems to may main one...and are not the highest-end by any means.. so perhaps the work Monitor should have been left out of the headline...anyway... | |
| Cowboy Junkies fans........ Thanks for the post. I haven't liked what they have done since "Trinity Session" as much as it...but I will pick this new one up. | |
| Top Ten Pre Amp Solid State of all time? The Pass Labs XO, the Classe Omega and the Threshold FET 10 are good candidates for top ten statis....although I do still favor tubes for pre-amps....perhaps I have a sweet tooth? | |
| Top Ten Tube PreAmp of all time? I have owned several...but only one that I would say has a place on a top ten list,..the Conrad Johnson ART. | |
| Length- Speaker wire/interconnect ?s Actually RF and EMI can and do have impact on audio components. Human hearing may be limited to 20k...but your pre-amp, power amp, and the audio sections of cd players, tape decks, etc. are not as limited as human hearing..and if RF is introduced ... | |
| Length- Speaker wire/interconnect ?s All of the above are good replies. Do keep in mind that in either case...speaker wire or interconnect..the shorter the better. Define what the total is between your source(s), your pre-amp, your power amp and your speakers,.. then come up with the... | |
| Audio Research LS16 vs. LS25 , 25 disco? Mikebarney:....thanks for the post. Have you had the chance to hear the Mark II of the LS25? | |
| Resolution Audio CD-55..Past Threads... To: Robert_sj from above. All audio components, esp. solid state, need burn-in time to some degree, and the CD-55 is no exception. Out of the box you can expect it (and most solid-state components) to sound thin, have little front-to-back depth an... | |
| Resolution Audio CD-55..Past Threads... I will try...to keep this the last follow-up to my post. The passion that music generates, be it from the performing side or the listening side(I do both), is a primary part of music..perhaps..the primary part of music. We must be very careful in ... | |
| Resolution Audio CD-55..Past Threads... Robert_sj, It might be good if we could somehow get each others e-mail address...I think my reply could get a bit long. I have a some items for sale under the same ID..that you could email from...thanks. | |
| Resolution Audio CD-55..Past Threads... I have had excellent responses to questions I have posted on AudiogoN, and in turn have tried to give poeple my thoughts and experience when I have read questions that I could respond to. In my above post, I was really did not want to fan the flam... | |
| Top Ten Tube Amps of All Time? Many, many good ones...but Top Ten?, the VAC 30/30 and 70/70 series should be included. | |
| TOP TEN solid state amps of all time? Good thread, and there are many good ones out there, but I think Nelson Pass needs a mention....be it Aleph or others, and I second the Audio Research 100.2 as a bit of an unknown gem. | |
| Integrated for Maggie MMG's If you can find a used Classe CAP-80 or CAP-100 in that price range...they are an excellent match with Magnepans. Also, the Bryston 60 and the SimAudio Celeste work very well with Magnepans. | |
| Top Ten Tuners of all Time?? Just an added note,...I wish there was a way to get all the remaining 2-channel fans out there to take notice..ie: If you don't have a great tuner----Get One! Nothing you can buy will bring you, and your system, as much music...and knowledge in mu... |
