| A viable portable system? I also use my PX100's much more than my HD600's, in my case in combination with my Numark PT-01 battery-powered portable turntable, which is the setup I always take with me on used vinyl scrounging expeditions. (This turntable is the replacement f... | |
| Speakers small enough for desktop use Thanks for the link Marco, I was unaware of the Affordable Audio e-zine. John Atkinson's review of the 4 in the last issue of Stereophile was certainly positive as well.In addition it turns out that Steven Stone -- who I assume is the same guy I r... | |
| Speakers small enough for desktop use Marco and Prpixel: The Era is one of the audition suggestions from the dealer nearest to me, so I will be able to hear these this week.Eric: I'll have to check with my local pro sound shop to see what lines they carry, but I believe when I was in ... | |
| do burnt CD copys sound as good as originals? The practical answer is that I doubt you'll be able to hear any difference that might pertain while listening in the car (unless you or your friends use lossy compression of the data to produce MP3 disks, or if the original source wasn't a CD but ... | |
| NAD 2200 I used to own a 2200 years ago, before becoming more audiophilic in this pursuit. Based solely on my recollection of that amp's performance and not with having tried this myself, I'd guess you'd probably be better off not bridging yours. I suspect... | |
| digital cable I happily used the Platinum (balanced) with my Theta separates until switching to van den Hul carbon (The First Ultimate or The First Metal Shield RCA, The Second XLR). I use these for all my analog connections, but find I also really like what th... | |
| Speakers small enough for desktop use Dan: Looking at an online review of the M-00, they seem like they're intended to be used with the matching subwoofer and that they wouldn't really cut it without. Do you think differently? I'd like to get some semblence of circa 50-60Hz bass out o... | |
| Can anyone suggest a good universal headshell? I took a look at the Sumiko on the Web. The screw slots aren't intented on top, which I like. Too bad it lacks an integral finger-lift, is there a screw-down type that can be added onto the flat top? | |
| Can anyone suggest a good universal headshell? Since I have a Technics SL-1200 my headshell is their stock one, which is lightweight and rigid magnesium (not heavy pot metal like the Stanton) with gold plated pins. What is the Orsonic and what are its distinguishing features that make it so de... | |
| what is your take on Bryston's clipping issue? Maggies aren't a reactive load, they're almost purely resistive and a flat 4 ohms across the band, and in that sense shouldn't cause any amp to be unstable (as in oscillation). But if you mean will the amp clip at too low a volume, Maggies are low... | |
| Any good cdp with digital inputs Hmm, how much is that Lavry?...plus the separate player/transport, plus another digital interconnect, plus another power cord, plus another shelf space taken up, plus another outlet taken up on the power conditioner...And all that just at the same... | |
| Electro-Harmonix and Sovtex tubes New Sensor is the US importer, and they name-brand these tube lines for this market. Both lines are manufactured in Russia in the Reflektor factory (as are some other brands imported by New Sensor). I'm not sure this applies in every case, but for... | |
| Any good cdp with digital inputs There are at least two other recent archived threads on this same topic. This seems to be a growing area of interest among audiophiles looking to incorporate other digital sources into their systems while controlling the proliferation of boxes. Ma... | |
| salamander synergy 20 versus the rest I use a Synergy (Twin 40) for its adjustability, capacity, attractiveness, relative affordability, and the fact that I could get it on casters. They are sufficiently sturdy to hold up heavy gear securely, and offer lots of configuration options. T... | |
| Godfather of soul is gone. Rest your funky bad self in peace brother. (I tried starting this thread before Sherod's got put up, but it never appeared so he must've beat me to the punch submitting it.) In my opinion JB ranks among the top handful of the most transformational... |
