| Sony XA-5400es player...Giant Killer or just Ok? So, why did Sony pull the unit from the market Rumor is that it had reliability issues. Oppo 95 would be a better choice, or a Sony 595 at $60 if you really are into sacd's. | |
| Best Chinese Preamp for Bryston 7B Sts? VAS Citation I. | |
| Explain Class A amp to non audiophile friends Don't explain, as there is nothing non audiophile's will ever understand about your obsession. Non audiophile's can only understand what they hear, better or worse. So, leave them with A is better, then let them hear so. | |
| Cloud Storage for Music Better to skip the 'Cloud', just do a monthly backup to a fast, outboard hard drive, using a UBS 3.0 interface. With 3T going for less then $150, it makes sense to have two drives, keeping one off site at all times. Most people can't wait to the I... | |
| schticky to clean lp's Bissell makes a $6 sticky in their pet products line. It works wonders if you use a little steam. 'Perfect vinyl, forever'. | |
| What is the best speakers for Elizabeth has it right, but only if you can have them demo'd when you pick them up, paying cash. I know, shipping in original packing material/boxes will work, sometimes. However, damaged Maggies, whether from the UPS carrier or the seller, are ve... | |
| What is the best amplifier for Tannoy Kensington ? Wow, you must have hit the lottery, as Kensington is a great speaker. Look at some of the high end amps from Cayin or VAS. Great value, great sound. | |
| Percentage of cable cost Best to start out with cables purchased from monoprice dot com. That way you can forget about percentages. Monoprice cables will sound wise beat anything you pay mega bucks for. Try them, you can ship them back if not satisfied. Don't fall into th... | |
| Do glass shelves affect sound Quality? Just say no to glass. Less expensive and better sound management shelves are available. If you have glass, a very inexpensive tweak is to line the bottoms of the shelve surface with heavy felt, which is available in many colors, including black, t... | |
| VPI Traveller Harry's at it again, a stripped down Scout with options that will run it into the $3K class. Great marketing. Best look for used VPI units, better value, better sound. Don't join the upgrade bank wagon. | |
| Best budget amp match with ProAc Tablettes I am sure you would want to buy my two pairs of Marantz M-22 amps. I've used them in bi amp mode with my ProAc's and they provide great sound. Let me know. | |
| In-celing and in-wall speaker choice Without knowing the room dimensions anybody would be hard pressed to give any real guidance. Suggest you read Floyd Toole's book on 'Sound Reproduction' to get a clear understand of what factors are in play. | |
| Any hope for SACD? Not until they release Miles/Blue on SACD. It has been long promised, but never appears. My guess is that it would sell over a million copies, a breath some life into the format. | |
| Automatic Turntables All the Denon 'F' series are full auto, repeat included. Look for the 47F model, it is a winner. Very reliable. Currently own two, one as a back up. I have given a few of these to my children hoping to get them interested in vinyl, in a painless w... | |
| New York Show Equipment Review Maybe those who went to give us an overall rating of the show, with a 10 being a knockout. How about it guys. |
