| Sandy's Impact on your Listening Still no power for me after 10 days, it's getting pretty cold in the house. No real damage to the house, thankfully, and I am a lot luckier than those who have lost everything, so I'm not complaining. While I miss my system, fortunately there's pl... | |
| How many switches do you have to flip the play a CD? Oops, I forgot the mute switches for each preamp chasis. So make that 11. And for vinyl, you take out the transport and DAC but add the phono preamp, Walker Motor Drive, turntable motor and vacuum pump, so that would be 13. Good thing I don't have... | |
| How many switches do you have to flip the play a CD? I have often pointed this out to friends who are non-audiophiles to point out the lengths to which we audiophiles go. All they do is turn on their receiver and the CD player (which they could leave on) and they have music. Leaving aside whether I ... | |
| Levinson 23.5 - I think I need a new toy. If you liked the early Rowland design I think you would like the sound of the Levinson, it is closer in tonal balance to the Rowland sound than any Krells I can recall. It, along with the 20.6 and the old ML2, are the best of the Levinson designs,... | |
| Arm For My Well Tempered Classic Turntable I think the arm is still sold separately, as it certainly was in the past. You'll need it; while there are some reports of trying other arms on the table, I don't think they have been overly successful. Check with the company/distributor for a rep... | |
| Basis table or SME If it was me you wanted to elaborate, I think both the Basis and SME tables will be significantly more neutral than the Forsell. However, the Forsell has a certain sound (maybe a coloration) that is very addictive and makes records sound really go... | |
| Basis table or SME Both tables are superb and extremely well-engineered. I own a Basis Ovation that was upgraded with the Debut platter, bearing and vacuum system, and am extremely happy with it; it has been working flawlessly in my system for over 20 years. The one... | |
| Where can I buy Krell FPB 400CX used amp? Can you still post a wanted ad on this site, or does that cost money? | |
| Here’s my $1750…just tell me what to buy.. I'd call the manufacturer and see if they can help you troubleshoot. | |
| What city do you live in? I think there are Who R U and Where R U threads that cover this ground as well, you might check them out. Elizabeth, you should add local audio clubs to the list, as those are a good way to meet others sharing our affliction.Me, I'm not paranoid, ... | |
| Best Customer Service I will join in all the accolades for AJ at Basis. Richsonics' description of him, his knowledge and his advice are spot on. | |
| Tube DAC Recommendations The Audio Logic DACs, especially the Model 34, are superb tube DACs, even if they have the transformer upgrade that replaces the 12AU7s in the unit (it still has two 6922/6DJ8/ECC88 tubes in it that can be rolled to change the sound). Sadly, the m... | |
| Magico S5 review Something that may be lost in this discussion, and which I think deserves some comment irrespective of the virtues of Magico speakers, is the exemplary customer service given to the OP. A home audition of several weeks, and a loaner for two months... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? I'm sorry, but you lost me. How do you run interconnects and power cords in series? Personally, I have found Mapman's recipe to be pretty good. | |
| Phono Preamp as Control Center There is a version of the original Aesthetix IO that has a volume control (very high quality) and one line input; no remote that I recall, though. A friend of mine has had one for years and loves it, a great piece. Maybe difficult to find used, bu... |
