| Any opinions on vinyl audio quality of Dead Can Dance's new Dionysus? Thanks for the input rzemkoski. | |
| Muse Model 10 Don't think buying from a "mainstream" manufacturer is going to insulate you from optical drive obsolescence. I had a $3k Marantz SACD player whose drive died and authorized Marantz repair centers couldn't repair it. Junked after only three years.... | |
| Amp for LS50 Let me be clear, I wasn't necessarily endorsing the Mivera amp above amps by Nord or Apollon that also use the AS1200 module. There are many options out there using ICE and HYPEX modules in amps. Apollon, Nord & Wyred4sound (used) should all b... | |
| Amp for LS50 Your KEFs will respond well to a LOT of power. I have R500s in my second system powered by a Mivera amp with an IcePower AS1200 module and 700 watts/8 ohms per channel works very well. One of the amps from Apollon or Nord using IcePower or Hypex a... | |
| Does anyone use white gloves to handle records? The only way I would go to that amount of trouble would be if I were one of those people whose body chemistry is such they degrade and wear away the covering on their steering wheel. (That does happen, I have seen it more than once.) Washing your ... | |
| Who Has A BHK 250 & How Do You Like It? I have a BHK 250 and I too have wondered what it would sound like with Maggie 1.7i's. Unless someone has actual experience with this combination, opinions on how this amp sounds with one speaker don't necessarily correlate with other speakers. I'v... | |
| could somebody help me out on the benefits of expensive phono and speaker cables? If you are really looking for a serious answer as opposed to stirring the pot of contention, telling the community what your system is like and what cables you are using now will go a long way towards getting meaningful responses. | |
| Anyone used these audio ceramic slow blow fuses from Littlefuse? Thanks for your input BigShutterbug. Where did you purchase your fuses? | |
| Organ CDs with really deep bass I recently acquired this disc of Carsten Weibusch’s Debussy organ transcriptions recorded by the German Audite label. I find it to have excellent artistic and recording qualities. There is a tremendous sense of being immersed within the recording ... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD +1 to above comments. Some people love the DL103 and its various iterations but to my ears they're far from the best. | |
| DIY acoustic panels? FWIW, I tried the DIY approach to making absorption panels and then I tried GIK's products. Considering the time expended and cost of purchasing quality materials to make DIY panels of equal quality to GIK's, I can't imagine why anyone would both... | |
| Need a Record Brush. Got a recommendation? I've tried several brushes marketed for record cleaning and found them all ok at best. My solution may be weird, but it works for me. When humidity is higher and static isn't an issue, I just use microfiber cleaning cloths that I fold over into a ... | |
| Is There a fix for CD Pin-holes (CD Rot) I have no experience with this program myself, but this receives mention in computer audio forums as an alternative to toast at a lower cost ($32.00.) Toast is on sale for $70 at present. I'd used Toast quite a bit with good results in the past. h... | |
| Is There a fix for CD Pin-holes (CD Rot) There are discussions about iTunes vs. XLD for ripping at ww.computer audiophile's website. As is often the case with all things audio, there seems to be little to no consensus about which is better. I'd make no claim to expertise in these matters... | |
| Is There a fix for CD Pin-holes (CD Rot) I have had good luck ripping damaged cd's to my Mac's hard drive in iTunes using the lowest speed setting and then burning a new disc with a quality outboard CD-RW drive and good quality CD-R's. I like to use an old Firewire LaCie Porsche Design d... |
