| Will Bel Canto DAC-1 improve EAD CD-1000? not as much as replacing your preamp w/a tubed unit! ;~) if ya still insist on getting a dac, i suggest the ~$130 art di/o, & then spend ~$100 tweaking it. i know of one person who is selling his belcanto dac cuz of the di/o, & several fo... | |
| Is my dealer lying to me? a lot of folks are ditching their pricy outboard dacs in favor of a cheap ~$130 art di/o, w/cheap (~$100) mods. see the audio asylum's digital forum for a nauseating plethora of praise for this dinky thing... ;~) in *my* system, which *is* pretty ... | |
| Best city between these two? kal, you took the words right outta my mouth! ;~) seriously, i couldn't tolerate either city because i can't stand hot humid weather. lots in both places. if i were forced to choose, i'd go for atlanta because its geography is a *lot* more interes... | |
| Subwoofer ratings by Widescreen Review mag i saw this, & was disappointed that vmps was not included. my retail $699 vmps larger sub (a bit more $$$ for their options, which i highly recommend), are so much better than what i've heard at even four times the price... w/vmps you need you... | |
| LP Cleaning Question i yust use mild dish soap, a sponge & luke-warm water. dry w/a soft towel. a zero-stat *does* help keep static down during play. so does a humidifier built-in to the hvac system, to keep humidity at ~40% in the dry winter months. also, a watts... | |
| My system has just received the ultimate insult does this mean i have to sell my prized melos music-director? a boom-box system sounds better? ;~) i'm w/ljgj - i tink she's tryin' to break up w/ya. either that, or she has a great sense of humor, & is pulling yer leg, cuz she thinks it's a h... | |
| Cheap Stuff That Keeps Up? plato, this is funny - i presently am the happy owner of an o-l rb250 & a modified di/o, & i used to use a z-man for cd, but that went away when i got a tubed preamp. :>) gotta disagree about the subs, tho - vmps has true world-class su... | |
| Recommend a good value X-over w/stereo low end marchandelec.com not cheap, but not *too* expensive, compared to the bryston, & at least as good.re: paradigm x30, why not get two, these are cheap, no? or, if you're at all into diy, go here, & brew your own excellent x-overs for a verita... | |
| BEST SUB FOR MUSIC i heard a $1200 rel in my home; i've heard the 18" velodyne in a store. bottom line: i wouldn't trade my pair of vmps larger subs, adcom gfa555 amps, & marchand deluxe xm-9 x-over for a *pair* of the top-line models from rel or velodyne. i mig... | |
| Who can fix electrocompaniet amps yup, i pointed out the fuse differences to ljgj in my post on 8 nov... ;~) ljgj, i'm glad you're back up & running - these amps are really nice-sounding amps, imo...doug s. | |
| Superb PHONO Preamp ? extremephono - you're the only one i've heard of that has tried the pentagon fono-stage. i presently own & enjoy one, run thru a melos music-director preamp. any recommendations on how to improve on it, w/o breaking the bank? buying used, of c... | |
| Which crossover should I buy? hi kelly, i guess some folks at a-gon are more equal than others - when i attempt to post to the forums in my "native tung", the posts get rejected, as not being appropriate language for such a forum. what' your secret - do i need knee-pads? ;~) r... | |
| Who can fix electrocompaniet amps i bought a new pair of aw60ftt's from a european distributor, & proceeded to blow up one of the transformers, trying to convert it to 120v from the 220v eurospec voltage. ec had provided me w/the conversion info, but there was a huge language ... | |
| Which crossover should I buy? oh yeah, ed, regarding ktsteamer's rig, i agree that the best solution for the linns would seem to be using their own active hardware...doug s. | |
| Which crossover should I buy? ed, what makes the marchand better is the sound... ;~) just kidding, i really have no in-depth experience w/the bryston. accolades from others who *have* heard both, plus the features & price, were enough for me. regarding stepped attenuators,... |
