| CAT SL MKIII vs ARC SP 11 or 10 If you want classic tube sound and a great phono stage (OK line stage, but the phono is the real reason to buy it), you should consider the SP-10. If you'd rather have more neutrality and frequency extension, the CAT is likely the ticket for you. ... | |
| Does the original Audio Logic stand up to new dacs Well of course you'd expect me to respond! :^) The original Model 34 is probably a little warmer (dependent to some extent on the tubes in it), a little less transparent and a little weaker in the bass than more recent DACs, but I don't think that... | |
| What amp to drive the MBL 101d's? I nominate Gryphon. Best sound I have heard out of the older version of the 101s, I imagine the "d" version of them is just as power hungry. | |
| What do you like about your "favorite" retailer? Honesty is the number one quality, absolutely. In addition, the people at my favorite dealer have a strong enthusiasm for this hobby, and enjoy trying out new products and auditioning them with their customers. Over the years I've also become frie... | |
| Telarc recordings I tend to agree with Newbee and others here. Telarc does not go for immediate sound, relying on spaced omnis for their principal recording mikes (at least in the old days), which results in a spacious sound but without the pinpoint imaging that yo... | |
| CD Changer? The only way to find out about your satisfaction is to hear the player in your new system; I'd wait until I heard it in the system before making any additional upgrade moves. If you don't like the sound, but your player has a digital output (prefe... | |
| Classic Rock Fans? Small world--Dearborn Music is a shop I visit (along with Miller's for the Millerburgers) whenever my wife and I visit her sister in Dearborn!! A very nice music store. I never really liked the MC5, but you heard their "Kick Out the Jams" every wa... | |
| Classic Rock Fans? Tomyran, you a fan of the old MC5? | |
| return of the king Yes: He was trapped in the tower at the start of the third film, but you never saw him then or heard about him for the rest of the film. In the book, I recall he escapes from the tower and goes to the Shire, and the Hobbitts have to return to get ... | |
| which auduo research pre? John, while I agree with you, the $1000 price range is a definite limiting factor. If Dpm wants a sound more like solid state, the LS2 or 3 is a decent way to go; if it's tube sound you're after, though, the LS7 is a possibility in this range if y... | |
| return of the king That's what I heard as well, making excellent marketing sense. Who knows, maybe we'll see Christopher Lee in it (since he wound up on the cutting room floor in the theatrical release)!!! | |
| Best of Home Entertainment 2004 NY ? Jsonic: As long as you enjoy your music, don't worry about the road to true audiophiledom! You seem to have your priorities straight if you went to the music vendors.On your description of the mbl speakers: must be a generation gap thing, but the ... | |
| Only use part of the receiver, any problem...help I'd first suggest using the tape loop output from the MD, assuming you have one, rather than the pre-out, which is really meant for situations where you use the receiver as your control preamp and want to use another amplifier. This would bypass t... | |
| Who is the Incognito distributor? I couldn't bring myself to say that, thanks for doing it, though, Tarsando! | |
| What do you look like? Now why would you want to ruin a perfectly good site with something like this? I think posting my picture would constitute some kind of violation of Federal law, and besides that, you can see it prominently displayed in every post office across Am... |
