| cd player that forgives bad cd recordings Let's hope you find one that wasn't altered or modified by the previous owner. You would at least hope he would have the honesty & integrity to divulge this information prior to the sale. | |
| The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig? My fiance & I attended a Keb'Mo' concert and she turned to me and said "wow he sounds as good as he does at home!" | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? I think the 505u as Luxman's entry level is a lot better than some other folks' top of the line. It makes my little MMGs sound a lot more expensive than they should. I can hardly wait to move up the Maggie ladder. Maybe even the Luxman ladder too,... | |
| Best 3 tube preamps under $18000? Not sure what SS amp you have in mind but you might want to try a Cary SLP05. Pretty flexible & you can add the phono stage for less than $18000. | |
| SET Recommendation Another consideration is the 2A3 version of Dignity Audio's amplifiers. They can be used with or without a preamp. If you're anywhere near Brooklyn NY they're definitely worth a listen. Alan at TAS Audio builds the speakers he demos with the diffe... | |
| California Audio CL-2500cd player Vs the Icon MKII I owned an Icon mk2, Icon mk2 with power boss upgrade & a CL20. I wanted the CL2500 but never got around to it, I do currently own an Adcom GCD750. I'm not familiar with your Marantz or Snell speakers. I will make this observation based on my ... | |
| 1 piece of audio gear I really regret selling is.. My Cary 300BSE monoblocks. | |
| If cables can break-in, can they then wear-out? Thank you Dan, thank you very much. I really needed that.Willp.s. I bought Cardas. | |
| BAT VK-60se vs Atma-Sphere M60 mkIII I have Atma-sphere M60MKIIIs driving Merlin VSMs. I'm using an Atma-sphere MP3 pre-amp. I tried a BAT VK-3I for approx. two weeks and did not like the sound..it was too dry as far as the line stage was concerned. Phono stage was awesome but that w... | |
| Small Floorstander/Monitor good with tubes I second the Merlin, you might also want to check out Proac & Silverline Audio. | |
| Help me get the most out of my Merlin TSM MX BTW Bob, I'm using Cardas Neutral Reference speaker cables. Another A'Goner I know asked Bobby P what he thought of the anti-cables with Merlins & the word "truncated" came up regarding the mid range. I did not truly understand what this meant... | |
| Help me get the most out of my Merlin TSM MX Normally I would be the first to recommend the Speltz products based on my very positive experience using them in my ever evolving system. I thought they were doing pretty well between my Merlins & Atma-sphere separates until I tried Cardas sp... | |
| Cary Audio...What do you have ? Regarding the EH tubes. They were in both my SLP98P & the 05.They are not at all involving, kind of lean & 2 dimensional to me. Hey at least you have something to listen to when the preamp arrives. The good thing about the SLP98 is that yo... | |
| Cary Audio...What do you have ? Sorry Beardog03, I found the Sylvanias here on A'gon. They were recommended by another A'goner after I described to him what kind of sound I liked. I eventually found 4 or 5 backups here as well. I also have an Atma-sphere MP3 which they really so... | |
| Tubes and Paradigm? I had Paradigm Monitor 11 V3 which I drove with a Prima Luna Prologue 2 with very good results except there was a lack of bass. When I switched to Cary 300B mono-blocks & SLP98P everything got even better including the bass. I also drove them ... |
