| Have you had enough of Classic Rock? I stopped listening to music on the radio about 15 years ago and only listen to talk. I also play a wide variety of music genres that aren't rock and that's helped me begin to enjoy classic rock again. I've recently been buying up remasters on CD ... | |
| Stein Music H2 Acoustic Harmonizer - Any experience with this?? @hifiman5 , thanks for the information. That might be my next tweak. We'll see after I get my new CDP in a couple of weeks. @davidpritchard also lended some good information. I've tried a few minor tweaks like Hebies Fat Dots and cryoed outlets an... | |
| Accuphase DP-430 @baxman, if you're still out there I'm pretty sure my DP-430 shipped today from Japan. I should have it between the first and second week of January. I'll let you know how it goes if you're still interested. | |
| Should I trust movers with my equipment? No. Just no. | |
| Stein Music H2 Acoustic Harmonizer - Any experience with this?? @hifiman5 How is the Omega E mat used? There's no description on the PerfectPath website. | |
| Stein Music H2 Acoustic Harmonizer - Any experience with this?? I had the pleasure of an audition of a Stein Music Harmonizer at my friends shop a couple of years ago. Walter Swanbon from Fedelis AV brought one to town and he was with a guy from Stein who knew how to set it up. I think Fidelis might be the dis... | |
| Rogue Atlas Magnum sounds bright -- any recommendations? Call Rogue. They answer the phone and are extremely helpful. | |
| Hegel H360 vs Accuphase E470 Accuphase is seriously pleasant sounding gear and so is the Hegel. You have to audition the Accuphase and find out. The build quality of the Accuphase is leaps and bounds nicer than Hegel. If you like the Accuphase pull the trigger. I went from th... | |
| What are your notes and thoughts on The Beatles White Album Giles Martin remaster? If his work on the White album is anything like what he did with Sgt Peppers then it's amazing. I'm still totally blown away by Sgt Peppers. | |
| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? My apologies for resurrecting this thread. I personally like Primaluna. | |
| I Find Primalunas Ugly. How about You? Is there an alternative? @defiantboomerang Were you bothered by the fact discovered by JA in the Stereophile -- that the Hegel amp he analyzed did not have good thermal management?lol, not at all. I didn't even read what JA wrote and it was probably after I bought mine. I... | |
| Parasound vs Rotel Amps @caphill, the model amp was the RB1582 and the pre was the RC1580. I know they were the top of the heap at the time. A friend worked at a dealer and I was always fond of Rotel because my brother had some good Rotel gear in the late 70's. I tried h... | |
| Headphones that sound smooth and comfortable on a pillow? I would think you'd want over the ear headphones so they're not applying pressure directly onto your ear, You would want something with a good thick pad but a flatter headband. I've seen some Sennheiser's that might work well. Also, Grado makes an... | |
| Affordable integrated pure class A? @pfrank12, the OP mentioned a price point under $2k. A good used Accuphase will cost 5 times that (I own a E600). I would suggest he aspire to an Accuphase which is what I did over the past 30 years. I will agree with you though. The Accuphase gea... | |
| Parasound vs Rotel Amps I didn't have good luck with the 15 series but it was quite new when I owned the flagship amp, pre-amp and cd player. It was fatiguing to listen to with B&W CM7 speakers and then even with Harbeth C7es-3's. That was quite some time ago, maybe ... |
