| What about Bybee Filters? Sns, I'm sorry to hear that you had trouble with the Bybees. I've heard these accounts from others, but I did not experience the same result. Mine work great. My system is ultra revealing. It consists of a Sony DVP-S9000ES SACD/CD player direct in... | |
| What about Bybee Filters? I just tried out a pair of Bybee Quantum Power Speaker Filters that were sent to me by a wonderful member for my evaluation. I just received them and hooked them up today. I spent the next 3 hours listening to music. These things work! My initial ... | |
| Suspended vs. nonsuspended TT? I find the direction this thread is going,to be ridiculous. How can anyone compare a $300-$600 Rega to these Rockports, Clearaudios,TNT's, etc? The Rega is a very good table in it's price category. They are not competition to Rockport or TNT in an... | |
| Battery Power for Audio System Greg, the typical solar panel now provides about 13%-15% efficiency levels. The prisms, reflectors and such have all been tested for years now. The problem is the solar cell encapsulation materials can't handle the added heat of the additional ref... | |
| Getting started on vinly - new/used setup for 500 There is an ad right now here on Agon that lists a Connoiseur BD102 turtable with arm for $145 obo. This is a good British entry level belt drive AC motor turntable. We used to sell them as the basic TT in our high end shop. Not as good as Rega, b... | |

| Getting started on vinly - new/used setup for 500 You might be able to find an Ariston RD-11S at around 500 used. May times they had a Grace 707 or a Linn Basik tonearm put on them. They are similar to a Linn table and sound almost as good. They are a suspension table and need to be set up, but i... | |
| Burning in my Sony DVP-S9000ES -- best approach Gheon, I have over 500 hours on mine in CD and it sounds unbelieveable now. I am at about 150 hours on SACD and it still isn't broken in yet on that laser. I don't have as many SACD's so it gets kind of old listening to the same ones over and over... | |
| Battery Power for Audio System Greg, I'm not familiar with that type of battery that you mentioned, but I'd like to know about it. I am using a bank of 6 volt Trojan T-105 golf cart batteries in a series/parallel circuit that gives a 12 volt output. These are excellent batterie... | |
| Best new 5 ch.SACD/ DVD-A/ DVD/ CD player? Thanks, Flex. I guess I heard it about the earlier ones, and didn't hear the update about the change in the newer models. Disregard my above statements about the newer players. | |
| Best new 5 ch.SACD/ DVD-A/ DVD/ CD player? I have heard that all the Pioneer combo players convert the SACD to PCM before outputting to the DAC stage. This eliminates any sonic advantages that the SACD may have over the DVD-A. I think they did this on purpose to convince people that SACD i... | |
| new arm cable jam my Linn arm, need advice. thanks You have made a large mistake. The 90 degree cable end is important to the Linn's setup. If the arm cable is not properly positioned with just the right amount of play and orientation of the cable in a VERY tight plastic "P" clip, that is screwed ... | |
| Difference between 24/96 and 24/192 I believe that the higher sampling rates on the DVD players are for the soundtracks on DVD only, not CD. Even with the 24/96 or 24/192, you will only get that on the DVDs that were recorded in those formats. | |
| Headphones, or Speakers??? I tried it for awhile. I used Stax Lambda with the Class A headphone amp/preamp unit. Sounded great. The thing that made me get out of the headphone listening was the lack of "body vibrations" that normally accompany the sounds in the ear. I am no... | |
| Best Receiver Ever Made short of the MD-208 The Armstrong receiver made in England in the 80's was the best I ever heard. Rated at 30 watts. Had tremendous dynamic headroom and beautiful sound. Very close to the Naim 42/110 separates. The analog tuner was superb. Great phono section too. It... |
