| vmps, art d/io, & boldercables.com joe, you're correct that the tube warmth adjustment led's don't work w/o the tube. but, as the tube is in the adc circuit, these lights are meaningless when used as a dac only... folks have thought a possible reason why the unit may sound better w... | |
| vmps, art d/io, & boldercables.com sorry joe, i have no problems here... what is it doing? you may also want to go to the yahoo site set up for diomods; lotsa technically-oriented folk there, who may be able to help...doug s. | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog jimbo3 - *thank* you!!! ;~) perhaps pbb's point to waxcylinder (those cylinders sound *much* better tha 12" vinyl, doncha know?) is: *don't bother* to get into analog. the main argument *against* analog, (which doesen't hold much water for me and ... | |
| GRASS ANYONE? david, lotsa good stuff here. "will the circle be unbroken" & "old & in the way" are definitely vinyl classics. and ya ya *gotta* get that skip-hop-wobble one - it's a killer. jerry douglas is on it, btw - not bela fleck. also, another gre... | |
| Warm, smooth cd with good bass under 1700 used ok hi scott, i know ya already made a purchase, but i think ya need to spend another $350... ;~) i own an alchemist nexus, & have compared it to the resolution audio cd50 - it's like tryin' to split hairs to find differences between 'em... *but*... | |
| Two quick questions about VMPS do a search for vmps on the a-gon forums search page... i've posted once or twice about my high regard for their subs. ;~) i think you'll have to spend 3 times or more retail, to put together a subwoofer system that will come close to a system bas... | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog pbb, my simple-to-set-up analog rig cost me yust under $2k, cartridge included. platter is a couple pounds, motor tucked snugly underneath, driven by a simple $2 belt from mcm electronics. it will provide a more musical experience than any digital... | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog js - go w/the lowest possible output your fono-stage can support - this will generally give the best sound, but there *are* nice-sounding hi-output cartridges... how's *that* for advice? ;~) enjoy, doug s. | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog hey, jimbo, i use a 3bx, too! also in the tape loop, so it's not in the signal path when not in use. but, i find it more useful for increasing dynamic range, than for suppressing vinyl surface noise. in fact, it seems to get as much, if not more, ... | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog bishopwell, i guess that's why there's more than one kinda car, and all ice cream ain't vanilla... ;~) i have excercised minimal care-n-feeding of vinyl in ~35 years of spinning it, and, while i acknowledge surface noise is an issue w/some albums,... | |
| Best Budget Sub? tiny, it's obvious that you've never auditioned vmps subs... ;~) and, fwiw, i tried a rel strata, & i'd rather have *no* sub... so, swong - be careful, & make your *own* decisions, based upon your *own* ears telling you what you like. my a... | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog i dunno whether or not a properly set-up technics 1200 is *better* than your typical rega, but i'd say it's at least on the same playing field. regardless of how much $$$ ya end up spending, be sure to purchase a used ' table: *so* much more bang-... | |
| Upgrade CD player or wait search the a-gon threads for di/o, or d/io, or dio. it will provide info about a cheap dac than can be modded, & the price w/mods is still less than $350. you can spend thousands, & still not do any better... well, i admit that there are a... | |
| Please help me tame the bass beast subwoofers. they will work well, even w/full-range speakers. they will allow you to place your main speakers optimally for image & soundstage w/o regard to bass response - use the sub(s) for that. my subs were effective even w/my old thiel 3.5... | |
| Best Budget Sub? think vmps, w/a marchand xm-9 24db/octave x-over, & a used cheap solid-state amp. far better sonics, extension, spl, etc., than anything else for $1k, even used. my opinion, of course... ;~)doug s. |
