| Unbelievable Solid State Amp at 2-3k ran I have a Classe CA-200 which sounds great for the price. If I was in your range, I'd get a used Mark Levinson 332. | |
| Best driving music. Happy to hear there are so many Allman Brothers fans. I don't play them a bunch at home, but IMHO, they make the best driving music. Elizabeth Reed, Melissa, One way out, Ramblin' man and the road goes on forever........ | |
| "more forgiving speakers" I think the only true way to be happy is to have 2 systems. I'm convinced the answer is in the software. A poor recording can scream for a forgiving system, while a great recording can take you to the pearly gates with a high resolution system. No... | |
| Sonic Frontiers Ultrajitterbug .....and now for something completely different. I own a Proceed PDT3/PDP3 combo. I don't have a lot of experience with seperates, but heard that a jitter reduction device was a plus. I found a SF UJB for $125 used, so I figured, what the hell? I ... | |
| "more forgiving speakers" This is my constant battle, to try to balance detail with musicality. I don't think I'm alone here, that pretty much is the holy grail of audio. A 'more forgiving speaker' might also be described as more musical. The above threads are all on targe... | |
| Best Answer Ever: Steve McCormack I just had the pleasure of dealing with Steve. I have owned a McCormack Prism II cd player for about 8 years now. Lately it has been starting to skip more frequently. I e-mailed McCormack Audio, and to my surprise they told me they wouldn't repair... | |
| Classe CAP150 or CAP151? Hey Bigboy, I'm not familiar with the integrateds, but in the amp line the change is mostly cosmetic. The older series was availible in silver OR black, the newer series is in silver AND black. That's the only difference, as explained to me by a C... | |
| Sim W-3, W5 vs Classe 201 Settle down guys, it's just a hobby. No one else's opinion about your gear should matter. You pay your money, you takes your choices. Goone, I would listen to the Classe CA-201 if you can. You talk about the bass being a little soft on the 151, th... | |
| How much do you listen? This time of year I'm lucky if I get 2-4 hours a week. I have 3 boys who play on 7 different baseball teams. I coach 2 teams, so not much listening between March through July. After the season about 12- 16 hours a week. | |
| Help with DAC follow up I also recommend a jitter reduction device. I know when I first used one, it made a bigger difference then I thought it would. Of course this also means another cable as well. The lower level could be defective or a lower output voltage than the R... | |
| help with DAC w/current system I would recommend the Classe over the MSB. In my auditioning, IMO, I think the older units with top level analog sections, will beat the newer digital chips with cheaper analog sections. The MSB Platinum will beat the Classe, but you're talking $3... | |
| Coda Continuum power amps I've owned a Model 10 and a Model 20. Very nice equipment, smooth, musical, with extremely powerful bass. They are not the last word in transparency, but never failed to keep me involved in the music. I sold my 20 about 8 years ago when I took a b... | |
| One Song That Still Causes... Free Bird by Skynard of course, reminds me of my good old single days. Ahhhhh! Me and the fellas and joyriding night on the town. Many nights cruising the strips, looking for woman, but mostly hanging out having fun. It's all a distant memory now,... | |
| Most emotionally involving cables? The interconnects that I find most involving are Magnan Vi. I first fell in love with them about 8 years ago, I've tried some different cables in the mean time, but I keep going back to the Magnans. All the detail yet non fatigueing. A very rare c... | |
| What to do when you receive damage goods I agree with Angela and Sc53, you can file with Fed Ex, the shipper or reciever can file a claim. I also think sending a e-mail to Audiogon would help. If it was advertised here, we need to try to keep the rift raft out. I had a similar thing happ... |
