| SS Pre-amps that can beat an Audio Research sp16 I really don't like to see people get rid of equipment they like. In your case, though, you seem to really know what you want."I am looking mainly for detail, wide bandwidth, tonal neutrality, soundstage and imaging."For something not too expensiv... | |
| Dcs Scarlatti upsampler with Elgar Plus Dac You may want to check out their web site. Its been a few years but I remember reading a paper put out by Arcam/Dcs that went over, in great detail about how to setup a computer for audio. It was meant to be read by someone that going to be using D... | |
| Help: WPC for my speakers No. More power won't fix your problem. You need to pick components that image well. That's a design issue. Power has very little to do with it. Can you list your whole system; before and after? | |
| Inexpensive wall mount speakers I'm not sure if they make them anymore but I had a pair of B&W LM-1's that were really good. They had a soft dome tweeter and didn't have the usual HF issues that most of their other speakers have. They also made them in a flat version that yo... | |
| Hard Drive Question Thank's Al. That's exactly what I was looking for. | |
| Mass and vibration cancelling on top of CD player? "10-28-13: PtssWhy does it make a difference and what should be expected?"If I knew that, I'd make my own like of super expensive products, and you guys would have yet one more mystery brand that everyone complains about. My best guess is that the... | |
| Magnepans and Rock Just to be clear, I didn't hate the 1.7's, they just weren't as good as I thought they were going to be. This may also sound odd, buy the one thing I did like about them was the bass. It was really high quality, well defined and musical. They didn... | |
| Magnepans and Rock I had a pair of 1.7's and thought they were very overrated. I think they built their name a while back when box speakers weren't as good as they are now. If you want to try panels, I think an ESL like Martin Logan is a better choice. I know its a ... | |
| Mass and vibration cancelling on top of CD player? It all depends on the player. If its something mass market, try putting a big book (textbook) on top and some cones underneath. It can make a big difference. | |
| Your top 3 worst purchases ever "Blowing boards all the time until it was too hard to repair! I wonder if I am the only unlucky one?"Mine blew up and pieces flew out the top and hit me in the face while I was sitting in my listening chair. It was kind of funny. And a good excuse... | |
| Conrad Johnson vs. McInosh.... I don't think that question can really be answered. You need to listen to both and make a decision. | |
| S/N Ratio for Rega Brio-R? What kind of speakers do you have? | |
| Weiss is so underrated "But all things being equal, it goes without saying that if we replace all the parts inside the Weiss with more premium parts then the sound would be even better."Of course it goes without saying. Few people are foolish enough to make a statement ... | |
| Fun, small footprint, floor standers "If anybody knows of a dynamic tower that approaches that 3-dimensional transparency free of boxy resonances, let me know."Vandersteen. Anything from the Model 2's on up. The 1's are great but it looks like you can afford the 2's from your list of... | |
