| Why a digital media player instead of a dedicated computer? I have used a Logitech Duet then the Touch, and recently pulled a HP Xeon computer out of the trash! The benefits of condo living!I put Daphile on USB memory stick and put a 1TB drive in it with my music. It sounds much better than my Touch. Now... | |
| Thiel Owners Not a Thiel owner but I did own the CJ MF200 amp and currently run a Pass Labs X150 amp. BTW using a Eminent Technology 8A planar speakers which use 1st order crossovers also, and lower sensitivity similar to Thiel.The CJ amp is warmer in the mid... | |
| Speakers that open up at low volume levels My Eminent Technology LFT-8a sound very balanced at low volumes and NOT efficient. Good for condo living! | |
| Crown XLS 2500 - the best amp value per dollar? I thought I was having a problem with my Pass Labs X150 amp. Had some distortion on the right channel. So I decided to pull out a Crown XLS 1000 amp I was intending to use for pro audio. I am surprised how good this little amp sounds. Almost tho... | |
| MOG to shut down, replaced by Beats Music Check out audio circle forums for more info. Beats will NOT work with Squeezebox, all your favorites will be gone. Will only work in a browser on a pc, and phones and price will increase to $10 or $15 depending on plan. I am very upset about this.... | |

| Best speaker design for low to mid volume? Similar size room as yours and also in a condo.My Eminent Technology LFT8 speakers sound great and balanced at low volumes. One of the things I like best about them. would think other planar speakers would be similiar . Bass is excellent on these ... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore I am curious about the Lore speakers. Wondered if any of the inmates that own these would be interested in having other inmates over to listen to them since these speakers are sold direct and there is no way to audition them before purchasing. I'm... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT 8b? I upgraded to the 8b and went back to the A version, worked better in my room. I am also in a condo and about 6-7 feet back and they sound excellent. They are about 2 foot from the rear walls. They do need some room to breathe. If you were local y... | |
| Bendix 6106 rectifier in Primaluna Prologue 3 Not sure the Primaluna can hadle the 6106.I use it in my Supratek preamp without a problem, but the power supply has to be beefy to handle the tube, since it requires more power than a gz34. I wouldn't think warm up time would be a problem. | |
| Preamp for Pass Which pass is it? I would think the modwright would be a sideways move.I owned the modwright with a pass x150. I enjoyed the combo. Using a supratek preamp with it now. Warmer sounding. Modwright is an excellent preamp but so is your ARC preamp. I... | |

| Suggestions? Planar like Dynamic speaker under 2K My understanding is that the mid driver on VMPS was originally designed by Bruce at Eminent technology though I may be wrong. So I wonder if the mids are that much more dynamic they have much smaller surface area than ETs Haven't heard Maggies in ... | |
| Pass XA30.5 vs. X150.5 The x150.5 actually puts out 250 + watts in 8 ohms continous.All Pass amps are pretty conservatively rated watts wise. | |
| How is Supratek Chardonnay compared to Cary SPL-98 Not heard the Cary, always have been curious about it though.I own a Chardonnay and love it. It is point to point wired inside, can't see how it would break down easily. The hum may have been a ground loop issue which can be common in any setup. I... |
