| All in one Pre/Power/Streaming/DAC or Streaming Preamp/DAC combo ~$2k-4k recommendations Another vote for the Naim Uniti Atom. I would believe it could drive your speakers satisfactorily. It powered a pair of Vandersteen Treo Ct's effortlessly and the sound was glorious. Judging the amp on speakers other than your own isn't a fair tes... | |
| MIT Cable Matching All I can say is be careful of using networked cables. The ones with the box on them. I used MIT speaker cables with a pair of B&W 802D's and this worked fine. But when I got a pair of Vandersteens, those cables sounded terrible on them. I rep... | |
| Harmonic Tech AC10 vs Audiience PowerChord I borrowed a handful of power cables from The Cable Company. One was the Harmonic Technologies AC-11. It bested all the other cables I tried. $350 New. I found a few of them on Audiogon used for around $125 each. | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? How can some of you call holographic sound a parlor trick? Isn't Stereo sound from high end equipment referred to as an "illusion?" | |
| The quest for the hot stamper or is it a myth I think Tom Port's main interest is to make a living. Charge what the market will bear. How many of his records are you willing to buy at those kind of prices? I think the law of diminishing returns starts to set in somewhere here. I would think y... | |
| What have other owners of Tekton Design Ulfberht Speakers discovered? Looks like there are only 2 Ulfberht owners out there........hmmmm. | |
| Is the Last Record Preservative system a worthwhile investment? I have used it on many Lp's over many years ago, but noticed no improvement over my other untreated records. Just my opinion... | |
| Advice re CD Player upgrade requested Not sure why you dismiss Cambridge, as some of their players will best a lot of the players on your list. IMHO. | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT You will be very happy with the Treo CT's. I know this has been said many times about Vandersteen, but proper set-up is extremely important. Most notably the back tilt of them. Your choice of equipment looks pretty good. As Bob said you could expe... | |
| Restored Marantz 2275 or Vincent Audio SV 237MK If you were to decide to throw your Marantz away, I will take it.....:-) | |
| Marketing slogans to catch the consumers attention This is a newer one. A ad for one of Spendor's narrow (7" wide) tower speakers. Their saying is: "Obviously, we're narrow-minded." Wow...... | |
| Does anyone use white gloves to handle records? My turntable came with a pair of white gloves. But not for handling records. They recommended using the gloves when handling the turntable plinth. It has a matte black paint job that will stain (shiny spots) if you get finger print oils on it from... | |
| The quest for the hot stamper or is it a myth I think what it boils down to is just how many times will you play a $500 recording before "buyer's remorse" sets in. As with most any recording it can go high on one's crap list if played 15 times in a row. Just say'in.. | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification I have a Class D integrated amp. I compared it to a $10k pre and power amp combo. Power amp is class AB. I also owned this combo. My lowly class D integrated, at one-third the price, humbled that $10k plus amplification. No, I'm not saying I have ... |
