| Getting Rid of Transformer Hum Sounds like the amp needs a new/better toroid. I seriously doubt if any power conditioner/regenerator is going to solve the problem. | |
| Opinions: PC's with strong lows roll off the highs The Purist Audio Dominus Ferrox has incredible bass and absolutely does not roll off the highs. Used 1 meter cords can be found for ~$700-$750. | |
| Need Recommendation on Best CD player under $1,000 I believe a used, modified player in the $1000-$1500 price range, from one of several respected modifiers will be more satisfying than an equally priced stock unit. Primarily, this is due to optimization of the player's performance through re-desi... | |
| Need Recommendation on Best CD player under $1,000 A $1000 CD player does not do the rest of your system justice. Remember that the quality of your system's sound begins at the source. | |
| The phase button on my Rowland Capri is for...? Recordings are made in phase and out of phase. Sometimes songs on the same CD or LP are recorded 180 degrees out of phase. There is no consistency.You can use your preamp's phase button to choose the setting that sounds best to you. One setting ge... | |
| Quality Live CD / DVD Combo's Doh! My suggestions are not CD/DVD combos. Sorry...Reading is Fun-Da-Mental! | |
| "Fastest" 15 Minutes in Music 03-13-08: SteveottJulia Fischer on Pentatone: hybrid sacd. Wonderful sound (even on my 20-year-old CD player). Comes with all the Bach Partitas and sonatas (2-cd's and not cheap). This was the one I was listening to tonight.I bought this SACD/CD h... | |

| Spendor s8e or Devoe Super 8 My guess is you'll be happiest with whichever speaker has the flattest impedance curve, and the highest sensitivity...to take advantage of the 30wpc triode setting.I have read great things about the Audiokinesis Jazz Modules loudspeakers from seve... | |
| Spendor s8e or Devoe Super 8 Maybe someone within driving distance of you owns the Devores and would offer a listening opportunity.So, you might mention where you live.Also, listing the amplifier you intend to use might encourage some info from owners of the speakers.Do a sea... | |
| Spendor s8e or Devoe Super 8 Listen to them both first, and preferably with the same amp you intend to use.If you can't listen to them first, then buy used so you have the option of reselling without a significant loss.Nothing matters except what you hear and enjoy. | |
| A packing solution for Audiogonitis carriers That's a great idea! I have recently used 1" and 2" convoluted egg crate foam (or non-convoluted foam) for a couple of components that did not have the original packing. When used in double thicknesses, it seems to do a good job of protecting a he... | |
| Vinyl vs. digital: what am I doing wrong? I think that any properly setup TT will sound better than any digital rigs out there.Bugman03 I think the opposite is just as possible.Personal preference weighs heavily. Who's to say what is right? There are no absolutes.IMO. | |
| Vinyl vs. digital: what am I doing wrong? Perhaps your expectations are too high, or perhaps you simply like the sound of CDs better. Nothing wrong with that. | |
| Are upgraded power cables really worth the money? 04-29-08: Foster_9The Signal Cable Magic in my experience lacks smoothness refinement and extension. This is my experience with the cord, too. |
