| Which cartridge should I keep?Which should I sell? I would just listen to them and pick the one that sounds best. | |
| Furutech IEC inlets, Cables and GTX-D I have an etpt-80. I like it very much. To be honest, though, it dosen't "do" that much. That's why I like it. I find that I don't care for the majority of power products I try. The Furutech I have is a pretty safe way of adding some outlets witho... | |
| Listening chair suggestions Probably the best way to go would be to get one of those medical chairs that doctors bolt your head into so it dosen't move. You'll get the sweet spot every time. If you go this way, though, it would probably be best to get gear that has remote co... | |
| Tube buffer or tube preamp "07-11-13: TonyangelOh, I also meant to ask, are you thinking of a tube pre amp because you want the tubey sound or because you just want to get rid of the harshness?"That's the question a lot more people need to be asking. Should I use a band aid... | |
| Bryston BP-26 or Parasound Halo JC 2 preamp?? I've been using Wadia myself for a long time. I like an active preamp, but if you can't get a really good one, you probably won't like it better than using just the Wadia. The 2 preamps you list are very good, but I would urge you to try them firs... | |
| Esoteric MG 10 vs Magnepan 1.7 I'm the one that started it. I apologize if the thread took a bad turn because I worded my post in an aggressive manner. I don't take back the content of what I said. I still feel its true but I should have chosen my words a bit more carefully. I'... | |
| Peachtree Audio Nova125 & sensitive speakers I thought you were kidding too. The 1st paragraph I can follow easily enough, but in the 2nd when you say to unplug the speakers, it doesnt make sense. If you unplug the speakers, how will you here the noise?Also, when you talk about the measurem... | |
| Tube buffer or tube preamp Elizabeth,Have you ever tried using just your VAC without going through the Bryston preamp? It should sound better. | |
| Pass labs XA60.5 anything wrong with them. I had some different model Pass amps and I thought the power rating was very conservative. I had the Aleph 0 rated at 40 watts/ch. It was a while ago, but it had no problem driving my B&W 802 s3's in a medium size room at fairly high volumes. ... | |
| Esoteric MG 10 vs Magnepan 1.7 Shakeydeal. The name says it all. Of course you have all this experience; after the fact. People like you always do. | |
| Esoteric MG 10 vs Magnepan 1.7 Shakeydeal,"That said, there is no way a pair of Vandersteen 2s could be considered more transparent. I can understand someone preferring the Vandys for one reason or another, but transparency? Nah."This is fairly new person to audio. The least yo... | |
| Where to go from Rogue M-150 amps? I had a VT-100. Its very good but comes up short compared to a V-5. The ARC has a bit of an electronic sound to it in the upper frequencies. I didn't notice it with my ProAc's but you would definately hear it on the Vandersteen.Also, someone else ... | |
| Optimizing Digital Volume Control "07-10-13: EdorrSteve, this is the theory. As I mentioned, nine out of ten of the guys on whatsbestforum with six figure systems end up adding a preamp to their DAC. They can't be all tone deaf and/or suckers. As Denon mentioned, you need to spend... | |
| Peachtree Audio Nova125 & sensitive speakers I should have mentioned in my 1st post. The blame lies with the dealer. As long as you told them what components you had in your system, they should have seen that one coming. Its a pretty easy call (for someone like a dealer that is "supposed" to... | |
| Assitance needed recalling a speaker's name. Are you absolutely sure there were no round drivers. For some reason I'm thinking Meridian M-33's. Also, could the drivers have been horns? |
