| CD Player w Volume control-Suggestions? my brother-in-law woodn't consider running his res-audio cd-50 straight-in to his a-r 100.2 amps driving his proac 2.5's - he sez it's better run thru his a-r ls-16 preamp - more relaxed, less etched & fatiguing, w/no loss of detail. he'd rath... | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? tubegroover, ewe could be right - for *me*, while i *do* love what tubes do, i *also* can't give up the accuracy of ss at the frequency extremes, or the dynamics of ss. as far as preamps go, there seems to be lotsa tube-gear that really makes no s... | |
| "Sizzling" tweeters at high volume? trelja, the newform's have ribbons from 1khz up; below 1khz, they currently run the scan-speak revelator mid-woofs, either 5.5" or 6.5", depending on the model. ya, the accuton mid-woofs would replace the scan-speaks - also excellent drivers in th... | |
| Help With My Next Upgrade Please what preamp are ya currently using? perhaps a comparable investment in a better preamp will yield better sound than the upgraded cd-player. then, in less than a year, there will perhaps be a multi-format player at a good price on the market... | |
| CD Player w Volume control-Suggestions? at that price point, yule get best sound running an inexpensive cd-player thru a nice $3000 tubed preamp - especially if ya buy used. i'd put my $350 ($500 retail) nad cd-changer + $2000 ($4600 retail) melos music-director preamp up against any co... | |
| Best Car Stereo i tink canton makes about the best car speakers around - i have a set in my daily-driver alfa gtv6. but, i must confess that the alpine cd-player/head-amp has been sittin' on a shelf in the laundry room for ~5 years, and my ~90-mile daily commute ... | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? i think there's an inneresting dichotomy here - w/tubed amps, ya gotta spend a *lot* of money to get a total sound as good as reasonably-priced solid-state amps. (craig, mebbe the s-f power three wooda done it for ya). and, i tink yust the opposit... | |
| "Sizzling" tweeters at high volume? hi trelja,inneresting - many folks have similar comments about these tweets, but i like 'em a lot in my meret's, driven by electrocompaniet amps. as much as comparably-priced proacs, which i also like a lot, w/their dynaudio-derived tweets.that sa... | |

| Microphonic tubes... i'm w/photon46. my toob experience is wery limited - only w/preamps w/the 6sn7 toob, & the 6922. i found the 6sn7 to be a lot more microphonic than the 692 regardless of which mfr, & i had 3 different types of 6sn7 & 3 different types ... | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? good for ewe, eldragon! same experience i had replacing my linn kairn pre w/an melos music director! :>) happy listening, doug | |
