| Looking for the Honda S2000 of turntables I owned a KAB Technics. I don't believe Elizabeth has.Earlier in this thread, I recommended either a Technics SL1200 MK II *or* a used Rega P3...so even though I speak as a past KAB Technics owner, I don't consider myself a fanboy to the exclusion... | |
| What makes a Cd player a Great cd player ...given your recent system description, I agree with you that spending $2-$3k on a speaker and/or amplification upgrade would yield more significant improvement than would a $2-$3k CD player. | |
| What makes a Cd player a Great cd player Ddan6815, lots more info about what you're looking for in your most recent post. That's significantly more helpful. | |
| What makes a Cd player a Great cd player Ddan6815, thanks for revealing your bias early in the thread. While you initially appeared to be asking an open ended question, your last post reveals that you aren't as open to possibilities as your original posts suggests.Your latest post also i... | |
| What makes a Cd player a Great cd player Someone recently made an excellent analogy in another thread that I believe applies here. Discussion about this kind of thing only goes so far, and ultimately, it's unconvincing to many.The person in the other thread wrote:05-31-10: Wireless200Why... | |
| Looking for the Honda S2000 of turntables It's important to maintain focus on the OP's needs. He wants an analog front end for a total outlay of $2000: table, arm, cartridge, phono preamp, cleaning supplies and accessories.Let's try to keep the advice realistic and consistent with his goal. | |
| Looking for the Honda S2000 of turntables One last thing: Despite Tvad's snide comment about the Music Hall mmf-7.1 turntable, it's a good table for the money. Tketcham (Threads | Answers)I don't think it's a good table at all for the money, and I recommend avoiding it. Sorry to be so blu... | |
| Feedback on Classic Audio Reproductions T-5 Multiple subs, as in the four in his Swarm Bass System, tends to blend better and be a smoother integration...Jax2 (Reviews | Threads | Answers)I understand that point. To be more specific, I was addressing Clio09's comments regarding floor space ... | |
| Feedback on Classic Audio Reproductions T-5 If you go to RMAF you'll probably be able to hear many of these options. Jax2 (Reviews | Threads | Answers)I agree. There's no shortcut to shopping for speakers like these being discussed. If you have the time frame to wait until October, it's ext... | |
| Looking for the Honda S2000 of turntables I have read nothing but bad things about direct drive tables: rumble, resonance from the motor under the platter. Are these issues overstated?Yes. It's baloney. I owned the MMF 7.1. God it sucked. The Technics SL1200 MK II (with a couple of KAB m... | |
| Feedback on Classic Audio Reproductions T-5 It seems like there's a bit of a disconnect in the discussions of the Audiokinesis Planetarium Beta (or whatever he's calling them) that I initially linked to at the beginning of this thread. The speakers discussed on the last page of that AudioCi... | |
| Feedback on Classic Audio Reproductions T-5 How much would I give up if I can't get them in the corners or create decent space behind my head?Kennythekey (System | Threads | Answers)IMO, you'll give up a lot. They really need corners.What's your objection to the AudioKinesis possibilities? ... | |
| Feedback on Classic Audio Reproductions T-5 ...but he's already priced it at $6,000.Kennythekey (System | Threads | Answers)That's in the ballpark of the T-5, isn't it? Perhaps even a little less expensive?In the past, Duke has offered home trials for his speakers. Not sure if he's offerin... | |
| Feedback on Classic Audio Reproductions T-5 Thanks for the correction, Jax2. It was the larger floorstanders to which I was referring, not the smaller multi-box version. I guess I meant the Planetarium Beta model. | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? 05-31-10: Wireless200Why don't more people know the difference between freshly picked peaches, blueberries, rasberries, strawberries and grocery store bought. They just don't know any better. What a great analogy!Growing up, our family had two pea... |
