| Purchasing from Japan Accuphase DAC-40 in the slot! I'm shocked at how fast it arrived. Nicely boxed by the eBay seller, the inner Accuphase packaging was itself a work of corrugated origami art: a gem of a circuit board inside. I couldn't be more happy with this trans... | |
| Would owning Hoover Dam improve the midrange? New power pole? Sheesh amateur.... Next week construction begins on my very own nuclear pile! And it will be replete with the best volume control possible. Pull the graphite control rods out for more sound, push 'em in for late night sessions.... ... | |
| Purchasing from Japan Well, it will be interesting to see how it goes. I think this IS a grey market item, the seller seems to specialize in a variety of expensive items, from watches to accurate scales to Japanese audio. But, all indications seems positive. I bought t... | |
| Purchasing from Japan Hey, good information. I'm always thankful to have this community to tap into! The eBay seller is iseshima_japan. I went ahead and ordered it. He was quick to follow with a tracking number so I'm optimistic! | |
| First "audiophile" system, now what? Suggestions for best "bang for the buck" upgrade? ewilley, You have been given a lot to think about in the above posts, for sure! I would add the fabulous Spin-Clean record system for about $100. Then try to find the right dish drainer (I bought a cool bamboo one at Target) to finish air drying y... | |
| Accuphase DA-40 Hi Daniele, Did you buy one? What did you think? I just purchased an E-470 and am thinking about that module too. I'm waiting on the delivery of the phono board.Thanks! | |
| McIntosh There was a time when I would have loved to have owned a great piece or two of McIntosh gear; I am a sucker for those glowing meters. Even more than McIntosh, I lust the look and build of Accuphase components. And tomorrow, my Accuphase E-470 gets... | |
| Tonearm/cartridge is a theramin. Suggestions? This 'table has an incognito wired arm and indeed it does have a ground wire. Disconnected it's way more pronounced,,,, | |
| Why are record cleaners so expensive? Hey All! I just bought a used Audio Desk Systeme for $2,300 off ebay and.... Wow. I've had a trusty Spin-Clean for years now and the Audio Desk is really amazing. I'm just now listening to an old '80's Jean Luc Ponty album that I recently bought a... | |
| What is the best way to add subs in my system? Well, this is where I ended up: a Bryston 10B active sub and two JL Audio Dominion d108's. I'll have them installed next week! | |
| What is the best way to add subs in my system? Fabulous information, all! I just glanced over the thoughtful responses now while on a quick work break but I'll read and look them over more closely later today!Thanks again.... | |
| Best near wall high end speaker The sealed ATC SCM 19's are the speaker I chose for the exact same reason. Lots of reviews on them. They aren't floorstanders, but they do sound great in my system just inches from the wall. | |
| Recs for solid state integrated, $2-3,000 range The new Parasound Integrated would be a great choice. I've owned many Parasound products and am always impressed with the sound. My extremely revealing ATC SCM'19's prove how smooth yet powerful my Parasound Halo A21 is.In any event, many good cho... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Jerryrocks, No I have not, but I've used my L-550AX with a pair of ATC SCM 19's with sublime results. The ATC's are very low in sensitivity, but the Lux drives them with aplomb. | |
| Anyone love TIDAL lossless streaming like I do? I put my self on the waiting list as soon as I read that Tidal was coming to the US, and signed up on day one. I love it too; a great way to discover music and the sound is lovely through a little Parasound ZDAC from a MacBook Pro. |
