| Upgrade CD, New CD or Universal Player? I don't know much about the 40.2 but the A52 should make a very big improvement in sound quality. Once you have a chance to listen your new gear, please post and tell us what you think. | |
| Confusion Mike,"could anyone point me to a resource that will help me with the questions I have concerning the files?"I don't know if I am actually helping you by giving you this website. www.computeraudiophile.com is the address. If you are looking for tec... | |
| Upgrade CD, New CD or Universal Player? "Is it better to upgrade the CD72, get a new CD player or go with a universal player?"Neither. Get rid of the Marantz. There's nothing wrong with it but it is clearly the weakest link in your system. Something like a matching Arcam integrated woul... | |
| If you had to choose: tube amp or tube pre-amp? Generally speaking, if you are trying to chose between an amp and a preamp, I would definately say get the preamp first. Not only that, but the preamp is so important to get right, I would buy the best one I could afford, even if it means you have... | |
| Bryston BDA-1 DAC vs W4S Dac 2, any opinions What kind of sound do you like? Also, can you give some examples of anything you have listened to and what you thought of it; good or bad? There's a lot of good sounding equipment out there, but that doesnt mean that you will like every piece tha... | |
| weakest link? what would you upgrade? If you are interested in DIY acoustic treatment, I can give you some good info. Most acoustic panels are made from fibreglass. Very simply, all you need to do is buy fibreglass panels (Not the big roll up kind, but the pre-made rectangle panels.),... | |
| Speaker cables or interconnects?? I like Audioquest very much. One of the things I like about them is that you don't have to spend a lot of money to get a nice difference in SQ. Personally, I find that it is not always the case with other brands. Given what you are looking for per... | |
| Cable, they drive me nuts. I have a scout. There is no need for a special phono cable. Just use a regular interconnect. My advice is: Don't, for a second, think of not upgrading your phono preamp just because you don't have an expensive cable to go along with it. Cables do ... | |
| Amp with a mind of it's own... Did the voice come from the speaker or the amp? | |
| Problem with lower frequency bass. Please advise. Try different placements in the room. If that doesnt help your room may be too small to make some of the lower frequencies. Understand, though, I'm not an expert and your room size may be OK, but it does seem a little small. One last thing would ... | |
| Best Power Cord with CD Player- Tube_guy,Looking at your post, it looks like you may have been responding to my post, not Jafant's. I just missed it until now. If it was my post, than No, you don't have to unplug the IC's. Just turn off and unplug any components in the system th... | |
| Scratchy Volume Control for Analog Without more info on the components in your system, I can only guess. The problem seems to follow whatever input you use for a TT. I would start there. The first thing I would do is check the settings on your phono preamp. Too much gain will cause... | |
| Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions If you are willing to buy a used amp, a Rotel RB 1090 be a good choice. It should have no problem driving your speakers. | |
| Bi-amp Martin Logan Quest Unless you have the amps already laying around, and just want to try it, go ahead. It can't hurt anything. If you are going to buy the amps; bad idea. The Quest are not that difficult to drive. I had the SL3 and the ReQuest and liked them both. To... | |
| Blown Woofers in Matrix 802 S3 MarakanetzAs far as #1 goes, don't hold your breath. B&W's customer service is terrible when it comes to things like this. I moved a few years ago and brought along a pair of B&W speakers that I had for only 2-3 months. There was no local ... |
