| What music do you want to play really loud? Enter Sandman...exactly. And, the entire AC/DC "Back in Black" album. | |
| Would Audiogoners be interested in this? I have discovered (and rediscovered) some great music/artists through Audiogon discussions. Just ordered the Constantines based on a comment you recently made, Ben. Your suggestion of expanded music coverage is outstanding, and could launch Audiog... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century If you order the Cortese and find out you don't like it chances are you'll be able to sell it for nearly what you paid if past sales on this site are any indication. In the meantime, buy a used First Sound. There's one available now. You'll probab... | |
| Smooth sounding DAC? Sean, I respect your position to lay low with your opinions. Please know, however, many members (myself included) look to members like yourself to help cut through the jungle of information and make buying decisions clearer. While I like to be edu... | |
| Smooth sounding DAC? Sean, the original poster is interested in specific recommendations. Would you please offer a few models of SS DAC's you believe are well designed and should be considered by those looking to purchase one? | |
| Smooth sounding DAC? Sean, back in 2001 you wrote:"...most digital reproduction devices seemed to rob the life out of many recordings that i used to love when i was still "vinyling". The introduction of a tube DAC into one of my systems took digital worlds closer to a... | |
| Sim Audio Moon P-5 too dry I, too, own a Bryston amp: 14B SST. I have also owned a 4B SST. I would not describe the sound of the SST series as dry, although I would say they are neutral. Can't comment directly on the ST series. My system benefitted with the addition of a tu... | |
| Sim Audio Moon P-5 too dry Experimenting with the Dakiom Feedback Stabilizers might be worthwhile. $67 for 2 pair with a 30 day MBG. That's a small, risk free investment in a device that might make a difference. I'm not connected with this company in any way, but I am think... | |
| Smooth sounding DAC? Here's a polarity conundrum. I have a First Sound preamp that inverts polarity. As a result, I reverse the system's polarity at the speaker terminals (+>-, ->+). The Scott Nixon Tube DAC inverts polarity as well. How can I use the TubeDAC in... | |
| Reference quality line stage? I second the First Sound Deluxe II. The models can be progressively upgraded to Emmanuel's top-of-the-line model. Only four tubes. Roll the stock tubes (which sound excellent by the way) with NOS Siemens 7308's and you're ready for anything.VAC al... | |
| Cable Cooker Subaruguru, you wrote, "It's interesting to note that a very old junky-insulation house line, if dedicated, will sound cleaner than a new Romex one".Fascinating! Because I am experiencing exactly what you describe. I just had two dedicated lines i... | |
| Repair a warped record? Swampwalker is correct, and there have been other methods mentioned in previous threads...all good. Do a search in the archives. | |
| XLR to RCA conversion Howie, I went through the same puzzle and used both adapters and a specialty cable. For me, having been through the process, adapters are the way to go. I didn't notice any sonic difference between the adapters and the custom cable, and the adapte... | |
| Modwright Sony 999ES Do a thread search. This has been discussed thoroughly. | |
| XLR to RCA conversion Just convert the amp end, and take a look at the converters at Audioparts, Inc.http://www.audiopartsinc.com/XLRADAPTERS.HTMStu is great to deal with, and the converters are excellent quality. |
