| Jerry Garcia, A Legacy? I'm not a musician but I love music. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It doesn't matter which music moves us as much as the fact that it does. I enjoy the GD, I connect with their music. But every time I listen to BW "God only knows" I am... | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? This was a fun thread to peruse. Anyone mention Electrocompaniet or Superphon? Think these were around in the '80s. | |
| Help my Rotel RCD 1072 make music JohnnyR, I am auditioning the Codex now and am very impressed with it It is dynamic, musical, revealing, and just plain fun when listening to music I thought I knew well. What an overachiever. Not quite as impressed with the toslink as I am wit... | |
| Who is the WORST Audio Shop? One of my daughters went to the "U" and the other U Dub. Agree that Madison is a bad place for adults ;-)@jafant: ultra fidelis in mke. | |
| Who is the WORST Audio Shop? The upper Midwest rocks. Plus I'm a sucker for blonde haired blue eyed women. Hope I don't have to issue an apology if not politically correct. | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? Just thought I would jump in and share my Maggie experience. I started with the MG-1C in 1984. Moved to the 2.6R with the true ribbon tweeter. Most of the idiosyncratic characteristics mentioned above are true. But once you invest the time in ... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? What jea48 said. I just didn't want to be an accomplice if you touched the wrong place with your screwdriver. Let us know what the solution was. | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? I once had a subwoofer that had an internal hum. It was actually more of a very faint buzz, but audible when it was quiet. The manufacturer of the sub acknowledged that some of their transformers were noisier than others and they sent me some pa... | |
| Help my Rotel RCD 1072 make music Johnnyr, thanks for the recommendation. Since I need a toslink and USB input, and balanced outs, the codex seems like a perfect match for my needs. I am anxious to try it. Thanks again. | |
| Ayre owners and preamp options: seeking advice That there is nothing out there regarding Ayre mods speaks volumes about the quality of Hansen's designs and overall satisfaction of owners of Ayre equipment. Guess I answered one of my own questions. | |
| Ayre owners and preamp options: seeking advice Randy-11: Agreed. First thing on my list. Drrsutliff: if you are using a mc cartridge with yours, what is its output? Can you hear tube rush at medium loud listening levels? | |
| Ayre owners and preamp options: seeking advice Now that new 8 series looks interesting. I will also look at the codex specs again. It has received a lot of positive reviews. My current dac receives a USB input from my Mac Pro as well as an optical input from an older meridian CD player whic... | |
| Help my Rotel RCD 1072 make music Johnnyr, that's an interesting suggestion. I have a few cheater plugs that you can't flip because one prong is wider than the other. Do they make cheater plugs that can be flipped as you describe? Just curious as I don't think I have any ground ... | |
| Ayre owners and preamp options: seeking advice ...what more could you want...More Ayre, of course! Done with room and system tweaks. The suggestion to look at new DACs is reasonable too. But I'd want something with an upgrade path. | |
| Ayre owners and preamp options: seeking advice Good advice,hk_fan. Thanks for the suggestion of VTL. Looking for a little more everything but resolution, separation, and pristine extended upper frequencies to flesh out lightly brushed cymbals etc. to name a few. I do not want a wholesale ch... |
