| Best loudspeaker with coincident/coaxial driver I just noticed you said you had a smaller room. If your system and your wallet are up to it, you might consider the Magico Q1. I'm not a big Magico fan, but the Q1 can sound gorgeous when set up properly with the right electronics. Quite pricey, b... | |
| Best loudspeaker with coincident/coaxial driver Although bass response if often lacking, compared to what you have, I have found that multi-driver speakers sound less coherent than two-ways, coaxial or not. There are exceptions - I found the Coincident Extreme to sound very coherent, as well as... | |
| Micromega Mydac is a pain.. You know, I have nothing against streaming and computer audio or anything, but I just think it's easier to put a CD in the player and listen to music. I was recently over at a friend's home who has a beautiful system with a Linn Klimax server, but... | |
| Best integrated up to $6000 Teslamade - I was referring to the original poster initiating 7 threads asking for the best integrated and I was wondering how much information he was seeking to gather. I was certainly not disputing your opinion on integrated amps. Who wouldn't w... | |
| How much am I missing with SL1200 mk2? If you insist on a high-output cartridge, try a Goldring Eroica High-Output. You're cartridge is fine if you just want to hear some sound, but if you want to get more out of your system, you're going to have to spring for something much better. Bu... | |
| How much am I missing with SL1200 mk2? I think you would get a lot more out of your TT if you upgraded the cartridge to a Denon 103. It's a very good match to the Technics arm and it's not too expensive. | |
| Marantz HD-DAC1 vs Bel Canto DAC 1.x/2.x/3.x? Coli said: "DAC is one place where price has nothing to do with sound quality. See if you can find out which DAC chip they use, as all DAC using the same chip sounds alike."I think many digital designers would disagree with that statement. Just fo... | |
| Watched the MTV awards that night Millions of people all over the world eat at McDonalds. There is always a big market for crap. | |
| Esoteric K-03 X - mechanical problems w tray Many companies require that you take service issues up with the dealer. That's part of what dealers get paid for. Is the dealer doing the right thing? | |
| Best integrated up to $6000 I don't mean to be rude, but I see you've initiated 7 threads asking what the best integrated amp is. Did you ever buy anything or are you still in the process of gathering data? | |
| Siltech Triple Crown / Crystal Absolute dream I don't think many people here own that level of cabling. | |
| Worth rebuilding Linn troika or fix shelter 501II? Linn really seems to work best with its own, so I would recommend fixing the Troika if you can. Maybe you can swing a good trade in to one of the newer Linn carts if they can't rebuild it for you. You can also ask Soundsmith if they can work on it... | |
| Excellent reference power cord made in Russia Why would I buy that when I can get a Kharma Grand Reference power cord direct from China for $120? | |
| Anyone heard the E.A.R. "Acute"? I don't think Ear makes the Acute anymore. They do a dac/transport thing for about $13K. I have the previous version without the digital in. It sounds very good. Detailed enough, yet smooth. You can also fool around with tubes if you like to alter... | |
