| B&W CDM2 - looking for replacement woofer alternative call Bill Legal at Miller Sound in PA. He can give you the advice you need and possibly repair the driver(s). He is the expert on drivers period. | |
| Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds Are you just looking for the lowest distortion? You cannot determine sound quality by class alone. We build pure class A mono blocks and hybrid power amplifiers. It comes down to design implementation and the quality of parts. If you want a go... | |
| What To Do? I am in New Jersey if I can offer any assistance. | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? @ricevs To be honest, I have not put down any amplifiers. IMO I have not heard one that floats my boat or any of the people I know. BTW - I have not sold one piece of gear to anyone on Audiogon. Sorry if I came across this way to you. I only... | |
| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? My same comment again - you have to learn what make sound do what it does. Look at the designs and you can see resemblance in designs. Then there are bigger differences like tubes, separate power supplies, etc. Most of the DACs in the $1K to $3... | |
| Tube sound is not about warmth. It's about correct presentation. a good tube amp design does not have to sound "warm" at all. That is the old type of thinking based upon what you have heard in your experience. BUT there are tube amps that are fast, dynamic, have great sonics that are not warm sounding. Happy... | |
| What’s the most underrated used Audio Research gear? @bpoletti - you hit the nail on the head. PLUS once you upgrade them, they improve tremendously! | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, To be honest, mot people have not maxed out the potential of their systems. The components most people use are inferior to what they can be using to improve the sound in their systems. We get to hear some many systems and components weekly and p... | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. one cents! | |
| CD/ SACD advice needed Laser probably needs to be changed also you can upgrade the power supply for much better sound We have done plenty of CDPs with great results. | |
| CEC CD Transports on eBay: Are they fake? They are not fake. The wires inside from what I remember are easy to swap out to convert the voltage to US although you will not get a warranty with the Japanese units. | |
| budget diy tube preamp beating many expensive preamps... problem with my system? it can be because of some system matching issues. You also do not explain where there are sonic difference that you prefer compared to the other units. | |
| New R2R DAC @mountz the winner is based on what sonic comparisons? Bass, mids, treble, soundstage, separation. clarity, etc. That would be helpful to others trying to make a decision on a DAC. All of the DACs are good quality DACs that all have something t... | |
| Tracking down a hum. Good suggestions but I agree with boomerbillone probably a capacitor if the tube swapping does not solve your issue. | |
| CD Transport @leog2015 - the nu[prime was just OK. The Sim was good but there were better older units that out performed it but it was still very nice. The CEC units are very good. I did not prefer the TL5 as much. The model 2 with the 2 belt system was ve... |
