| Which stands are recommended for ProAC 1SC speaker For small monitors, the best stands may be the Sound Anchors, but I've been using 29" tall steel-shot filled Lovan Imperial 2900s and like them very much. Perfect height when listening to my Tab 50 Sigs and 1SCs in my Herman Miller Aeron chair. I'... | |
| Phono-Pre Suggestions ????? What do the vinyl geeks hear think of the Grado PH as an intro to vinyl? | |
| ProAc Future Series: A "Dead Dog" or just Dead?? Yeah, you don't seem to see many of them around anywhere. I own 1SCs and Tab 50 Sigs and was interested to hear them at CES, but the only thing they had were the big D80s and the small home theater speakers. | |
| Where can I get educated about cables? Yes, keep reading the threads and talk to other members. But, the most important component is the time and money you invest finding out what works in YOUR system. Start cheap! | |
| Best Speaker Stands for Rear VA Haydns There are three sets of the gorgeous Sonus Faber stands on sale on the 'Gon right now! | |
| What to use as a subwoofer amp Because of their wide pro use and good reputations, I did consider the Crown and Hafler 9505 Transnova amps as well. | |
| What to use as a subwoofer amp Hi Michael, I used to use an NAD 214 bridged mono to run a single 12" NHT Sw3P sub. Sonically, I felt this was slightly superior to the NHT's own SA-3 amp which is made to power the SW3P. However, eventually the NAD started to fail and when I cont... | |
| Best used dac under $2000 Rhyno, I managed to find a review of the Entec Number Cruncher DAC, is that the one you own? It seems very good, and to have sound qualities I value.But, a $7000 DAC selling for $800 used? This seller may not share your opinion Rhyno. That, or is ... | |
| How much to spend on a cd changer as a transport Don't most CD changers use toslink rather than a coax IC hookup? I'm sure that in itself will open up a whole new can of nightcrawlers.I think some of the Aiwa changers mentioned are around $100 used. That's a pretty cheap experiment in my book. | |
| Best used dac under $2000 Right on, Mdominick and Zaikesman. We should make a distinction between French policy and beautiful French DACs like the Hermes! I was just venting my contempt for France's attempts towards become relevant in this world once again. Conversely, I'm... | |
| Best used dac under $2000 The people at CES told me they thought the Hermes 2 was a big step up over the one I have. Although the exterior appearance hasn't changed, the innards are supposedly completely different. | |
| Best used dac under $2000 "You ever here of Plato? Socrates? ...MORONS!"Wow, that's interesting that you preferred the MF over the Bel Canto and Chord. Maybe it's because I just haven't heard enough about it. I've only had experience with the Bel Canto DAC 1.1 and my curre... | |
| Best used dac under $2000 The French being anti-war has nothing to do with it. It's because they're still so damned ashamed the British and Americans saved their asses and their country in WWII, they feel they have to do everything contrary to the policies of the US.I don'... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Oooops. you're right Unsound, I've been watching so many of those Japanese Best Motoring videos I got my JDM manufacturers and models mixed up.The STi sounds awesome, but I really want that ice scrapping Zamboni Chevy Impala SS from Monster Garage! | |
| Integrated or separates? A piece that really impressed me at CES was the Unison Research Unico integrated. 80wpc for $1300 brand new. It utilizes a tubed preamp section with two 6922s and a solid state output section. Very musical and it sounded great through Triangle Cel... |
