| Chime in.What's the Best Cassette Recorder ever ? I addition to the Nak 700 ZXL the Dragon and Baby Dragon (680ZX) are excellent. A sleeper is the Tandbeg A440.Now if you really want to go out there try locating a really good DAT recorder/player. I've been listening to mine of late and the sound ... | |
| CEC TL5100L cdp problem -- help please Nick Gowan at True Sound in CA works on them. | |
| Do all Passive preamps exhibit this trait One other thought, try the new Pass B1 unity gain buffer preamp. The buffer eliminates the impedance issues and the circuit does not have a gain stage. Sounded really good at RMAF when I heard it there.If you don't want to pay the Pass dollars Aud... | |
| Do all Passive preamps exhibit this trait Typically passive preamps do not exhibit this trait, but depending on the rest of your system you may have trouble finding what you are looking for. A good passive preamp should not add or subtract anything from the equation. However, impedance mi... | |
| cary cad211m hum noise If the noise is only present with your ear close to the speaker I wouldn't worry too much about it. On the other hand if you can hear it fro a few feet away there may be some underlying issues present. | |
| Someone tell me where to find wooden volume knobs Now that I took a closer look at the site mine are the purple heart knobs with maple inlays. | |
| Someone tell me where to find wooden volume knobs Oops, Amendarae already linked to "quackfat's" web page. | |
| Someone tell me where to find wooden volume knobs I purchased a set (in purple heart with set screw)for my TRL Pre-1.5 from Audiogon member "quackfat". He also made me a set of side panels (in rosewood) for my TRL D-225 amp. The guys at TRL themselves were quite impressed with his work. My amp is... | |
| A balanced passive preamp? If you're willing to stretch it to $2250 the new Bent TAP would be the ticket. There are occasionally balanced versions of the Sonic Euphoria that come up used as well. Promitheus is another option. To my knowledge only the Bent has remote. | |
| Does the Transport make a significant difference? Depends on the relationship between the transport and DAC. One thing I learned is the ability to slave the transport to the DAC so the DAC clock is the master reduces jitter more effectively than if the DAC is slaved to the transport where clocks ... | |
| BAT, ARC, VAC, Shindo? I went from the VAC Avatar SE to Auricle MB70s. I use a Rowland Capri with the MB70s. I have to say I prefer the MB70s/Capri combo but as Tvad said its a different sound, not necessarily better.If you like the VAC sound and your Super has HT bypas... | |
| Oil for TT bearing - any advise? Marvel Air Tool oil was recommended for my Scheu table. | |
| Poll - Active vs. Passive preamp Never had a problem running my vinyl rig through a passive. At the time I was using a K&K SE phono stage (65db) and Dynavector 20XL with my K&K TVC. However, I do see where vinyl could present an issue. | |
| Poll - Active vs. Passive preamp John does indicate the new Bent TAP has buffered input settings, but one should rarely find them to sound better than the non-buffered setting since most sources used today will have enough output voltage to drive the passive.I believe the new Pas... |
