| Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers…… Those who own, or are considering purchasing an A200, note that I found vibration mitigation to make a big difference in performance. I belatedly added four Stillpoints under my A200, and the results were much greater than I was anticipating. I d... | |
| Has anyone heard Fink Team KIM speakers? @weebeesdad A quick update. I belatedly tried a tweak that I obviously should have applied long ago – vibration control under the amp. I got a very good deal on four Stillpoints, which, after plenty of research, I chose from amongst the various ... | |
| Best sounding FM table radio ever made... While I cannot compare to the others mentioned, I own a ITT Schaub-Lorenz Touring International 103, and the sound is outstanding. It is a portable radio, but still worth a look. For a comprehensive review by (radio expert) Jay Allen, follow this ... | |
| Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice? Bobby Womack | |
| Patricia Barber - Cafe Blue is an effects album Well, it is very well recorded, though of course that isn't unusual for her albums. But if an audiophile is looking to test or compare components, I could see why this album might be in the rotation. In terms of the actual material, it's not my f... | |
| Buying Equipment Based on Philosophy??? I do like to gain insight into the designers of the components that I purchase, and how they approach their designs, even if some of the details are technically over my head. I have also made a couple of major acquisitions without the benefit of a... | |
| Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice? Frankie Beverly (and MAZE) Kristin Asbjornsen (great singer, i would say, but some would find her voice to be grating!) | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! Total nonsense.....You are not listening to what was recorded....You are listening to everything between what was recorded and your ears..... I can’t believe you are continuing to defend this foolishness..... But its your right and I appreciate t... | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! @rbertalotto You're missing the point. The poster made a very poor analogy. But I have also previously linked to a speaker video that is very well recorded, and does indeed give a good feel for the quality of the component. Of course a fair com... | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! It is all noise, nothing but....just like with pictures and colors on your monitor. lol! Never mind that professional photographers use their (yes, typically well-calibrated) computer monitors to process and fine tune their images prior to prin... | |
| Has anyone heard Fink Team KIM speakers? You’re welcome. First, I have a low media sideboard between the speakers, and a large flat-screen TV on the wall. Neither are optimal, but with some movement of the sideboard away from the wall, there was a small improvement. For serious listenin... | |
| Has anyone heard Fink Team KIM speakers? Hi @weebeesdad It just so happens that I can offer some insight into your situation. I recently moved into a newly refurbished old house, and while the room in which I listen is decent sized, I have no choice but to place the KIMS along the long... | |
| Has anyone heard Fink Team KIM speakers? In case anyone is interested, I have now owned a pair of KIM for several months, and am very happy with them. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! | |
| Not a good week for Drummers: Fred White, Earth, Wind & Fire drummer, dead at 67 My favorite band when in HS/college in the '70s. Great live shows, as well. RIP | |
| Another cable question I use a Kimber KS 2120 AES/EBU digital cable to connect my Aqua La Scala DAC to my C.E.C. TL-5 CD transport, and am very happy with it. They are above your budget new, but perhaps in the ballpark used. I have a very revealing system, but there is... |
