| Douk Audio. Any experience with any of their products? I bought a from Doukaudio a tube 6n11 preamp buffer and I just received the package MUCH sooner than expected and was packed extremely well. I'll be able to give a listen in a day or two. It looks extremely well-built and I'm hoping it sounds as g... | |
| Music Lovers Speaker vs. Audiophile Speaker I like this answer! I consider myself an "audiophile" but I don't own expensive equipment but what I've matched together sounds very musical and satisfying. In my response to an earlier thread, I mentioned the PSB 300i spk. A very musical speaker.... | |
| When speakers duplicate drivers I have such a speaker which I'm listening to right now. Paradyme Phantom V4. 2-way floorstander w/ two 6 1/2" drivers. I always preferred 2-ways for some reason. This loudspeaker has fuller sound which I believe goes down to 40hz. They are still 8... | |
| Most Effective Tweaks? Filling speaker stands w/copper bb's (didn't want to use lead shot this time) and then adding aquarium black sand. Big improvement. Lately bought a Furatech gold-plated ac plug for $30 for the Arcam's home-made power cord. Noticeable improvement. ... | |
| netflix box I have the Roku model 1. | |
| netflix box Using and enjoying the Model 1 which has anolog rca outputs as well as an hdmi out. No issues at all. The advantage of the rca output, can turn the tv off and still listen. The hdmi goes to to the tv and a dolby digital decoder then the int. amp. ... | |
| Mogami Speaker cable question I just replaced my 15ga. Atlas spk. wire w/Mogami 2921, which is a "star-quad" cable. The 2921 sells for $4.95 a ft. and the 3104 sells for $5.25 a ft. The better value is the Star-Quad 3104, IMO, but I felt the 2921 was the right cable for my nee... | |
| best bookshelf speakers for < $2000? I know exactly what you mean. I'm using the small Dynaudio DM2/6 in a 2 ch. system in a large living room. Doesn't have the deep bass, but the mids/high's are glorious. They image beautifully. I have no idea how the DM 2/6 compares w/the DM2/7. If... | |
| I miss the Audio classified ads of the 70's and 80's in the newspaper I remember well....ever Sunday (mid 70's) looked at the ads in the paper for a great deal for a Kenwood Int. amp. Finally found and bought a Kenwood KA-7100/KT-7500 combo for $365. Enjoyed this set for many yrs! I remember the amp could drive 4 JB... | |
| Forward or recessed sound? I'd pick recessed sounding of the two. One amp might be "mos-fet" and the other "bi-polar." I really like my Adcom 5002 which is "bi-polar." Different sounding than the mos-fet Rotel amp I used previously. | |
| STR-DA9000ES quandry Howdy to you as well. Happy Holidays. I was not familiar w/ your Sony Rec., so I looked it up. Holy Smokies! What a beast. (as is your Nak amp.) I'm not into 5/7 ch. sound, just 2 ch. sound. I can't see how anything that so complicated (the Sony u... | |
| Tidal Christmas Music Albums/Playlists May I recommend my favorite Christmas CD. (which I listen to year long.) Al Di Meola "Winter Nights". Beautifully recorded (20 Bit Digital) and played by one of the greatest guitar players. All instrumental. Worth a listen IMO. Happy Holidays! | |
| Quality Interconnects for recording You are absolutely correct. My apologies....Wireworld Luna 7. I must of been thinking of my other cables, Tara Labs Prism 33. Bought 2 of these .6m cables new and I think they are excellent. (Better to my ears than the 22 & 55 Prism) The WW Lu... | |
| Quality Interconnects for recording Tara Labs "Luna" the newest version (7) is an absolute steal and sounds superb. Can not recommend highly enough. I've made my own Mogami 2549 cables w/Rean connectors which also sound very good, but the Tara Labs is better sounding as least in my ... | |
| Help in choosing I've had great luck w/used CDP's. The oldest is an NEC CD-650. If I was to buy new, I'd look @ NAD's offerings. My NAD 521 sounds very good and works perfect except for the dim display. My 2 cents. Good hunting! |
