| Best new Liquid conductor technologies-Audio Magic In my audio vocabulary, smooth and whitish are not contradictory. And whitish is generally a deal killer. | |
| Replace wall wart to Simaudio LP3 >would be willing to spend up to $750That's more than the LP3 costs! For the combined cost, you could get another used LP5.3 easily. | |
| Ayre QB9 with a transport I don't think you can unless there is a way to convert S/PDIF to USB. The QB-9 only accepts USB as input. | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave Great post, Mitch4t.I've heard it said that a lot of the information that communicates the size a recording venue comes from the very deepest bass. | |
| phono preamp break-in machine >CD signal is too strong to go directly into phono ampNot with the Granite Audio disc -- that's the whole idea. | |
| phono preamp break-in machine Yes, you get it. The CD puts out a very low-level signal so as not to overload the phono stage. Reversed RIAA equalization too, though I wonder why that matters. | |
| Coincident Dragon Amplifier At 2007 RMAF, I think Lou was showing with Red Dragon. | |
| $20k top, full range speakers? In my experience, Dynaudio will not give you the performance at low volume that you seek. Not bad, but not great. | |

| Ideas re Spectron mated to Joule-Electra I'd like to try to LA450ME too, but beyond my budget. My speakers are Dunlavy SC-IIIA and the Spectron is my amp. Searching for a new pre. | |
| $20k top, full range speakers? If you like the looks of the Thiel 3.7 (some do, some don't), they're quite a bargain and do well at low volume. Are Quads a possibility? Because when it comes to low-volume excellence, very little can touch Quads. | |
| Ideas re Spectron mated to Joule-Electra >I think the majority of Spectron owners end up getting Joule-Electra preampsThat's definitely not true, but it is a popular pairing, partly because there's a business relationship between the two companies (via Simon, at any rate).I tried an L... | |
| Best amps to pair with dynaudio C2 I think he was saying that his Dynaudios don't have a warm, tubey sound. | |
| Mystere CA 21 Preamp Does this preamp include a remote?I notice that it has 19dB of gain. Really? That seems like way, way too much for any system I've ever had. And with only 24 steps on the volume control, it could be a nightmare to use, but I'd like to hear what ow... | |
| Jadem6 Thanks for this thread, Swampwalker. Sounds like JD is doing the only thing he can do at this point, but I'm encouraged that the long-term prognosis looks good. Best wishes to JD. |
