| What to do with audio Magazines I sold just about all my older small size mags. Now I just toss them | |
| Pass Labs upgrade? what's the difference, 2 db? Audibility is doubtfulno personal experience though- I run a 250.8 which has power to spare | |
| California Audio Labs – Icon Mk II CD Player - HDCD I have no current xperience with the CAL IconHDCD Power Boss but I did own one years back. Sold it in 2001 and bought in its place a Meridian 508.24. The Meridian, which wasn't exactly new in 2001, trounced the CAL in every area except one- the C... | |
| Conrad Johnson Repair Issues FWIW, after owning CJ Premier gear years ago, I wound up preferring Rogue for tubed gear, and these days, I find Pass Labs so much more satisfying than CJ gear. | |
| Linn lip-12 Would have to disagree that the hinges are cheesy- I’ve had my LP12 18 years, original hinges, and the hinges have never been a problem. So while the hinges may not be a heavy duty affair, they are entirely adequate for their purpose | |
| Linn lip-12 Order of goodness1- lid off (the best)2- lid down (will do)3- lid up (oh the humanities) | |
| Pass Labs 250.8/250.5 or mark levinson 532h Prior to using Pass with Revels, I did run the Revels on tubes. I don't miss the tubes at all. And as for power, the 250 series amps put out 250 watts at 8 ohms. More than enough power for any Revels | |
| Pass Labs 250.8/250.5 or mark levinson 532h I am using a 250.8 with Revel Studio 2's. Superb results. Im also using a Pass pre (XP20) and a Pass phono stage (XP15) as well. Pass amps thrive on being fed a balanced input. I initially tried an unbalanced line out of curiosity- the balanced co... | |
| Is the "standard" Linn Sondek LP-12 surpassed by newer turntable brands and designs?? While I do own an LP12 that is far from basic, I would choose a VPI Prime over a current entry level LP 12. However, at its best, an LP12 is still a very musical table. | |
| Your first component that was "special" 70 or 71? Hope you got to see Seaver pitch. I did. He was a childhood hero. And #41 is the only player number the Mets have ever retired (of course, Jackie Robinson's number is retired throughout baseball). | |
| Your first component that was "special" I knew elevator meant elevated train.As a kid I rode the #7 to Shea | |
| Your first component that was "special" Have you seen what Schwinn Stingrays sell for these days? | |
| TurnTable Quest I think the first think you should establish is a budget for a table/arm/cartridge. Sticker shock to some is entry level to others. No question that for $1,000 you can get an Excellent setup (Rega comes to mind). Have more $ to spend? While I'm no... | |
| California Audio Labs – Icon Mk II CD Player - HDCD 1- an HDCD unit will have an HDCD indicator lamp on the front panel2- to see if it's a power boss unit, pop open to he lid and see if there's a small piggy back PC board stuffed with capacitors above the main PC board. If there's a piggy back boar... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? It does have potential merit as some electronics are microphonic. Tubes are vulnerable to microphonics and I once had a set of interconnects which were surprisingly microphonic. |
