| Recommendation: Wireless Headphone? I think you would do better sonically with a good headphone extension cord and "wired" headphones. Unfortunately, the headwize.com forums are currently not working. Otherwize that would be a good souce of information. | |
| Best Value Speakers?? As long as you do not care about looks, the Vandersteens are an excellent value. I have been a long term Vandersteen owner. I have also recently read two good reviews of Axiom speakers which look interesting for the money. | |
| Best speaker under $500 For used speakers, try Vandersteen Model 1's. For new, check out the Axiom Speakers from Canada. There are 2 good reviews of them at Soundstage.com. | |
| Please Help Solid State Amps ? I am a tube amp owner but if I were in the market for 200w mono's I would seriously consider the Job 200 mono amplifiers. They are the budget line of Goldmund. Go to jobsys.com. | |
| Cambridge Sound Works new speakers T300 What did you compare them to that costs $1-2K more? | |
| CD Player transport for under 2k Aren't you the same person who is having trouble with the Pearl also? Did you get it resolved? | |
| The top ten reasons why..... The other day I mentioned I was thinking of selling my tube amps and getting nicer looking speakers. Uh... the above isn't quite what I had in mind... Mavbe when I lose my mind I might try one. | |
| Tubed Headamp for Grado RS-2 ? Mike,My Grado RS-2's took several weeks of run in until they sounded their best. They sounded a little dark right out of the box, then got brighter and then smoothed out. They also lacked dynamics when brand new. I think the RS-1's may have a slig... | |
| Tubed Headamp for Grado RS-2 ? This is my 2 cents for what its worth.I am a very satisfied owner of Grado RS-2's and have tried many other headphones. I directly compared the Sennheiser HD600's to the Grado's in a dealer's showroom and have compared the HD580's to the Grado's e... | |
| AMC Tube Amplifiers This is too rich for me; looks like I lost another good deal! | |
| AMC Tube Amplifiers Thanks everyone.The price I would pay for the AMC is about 50% of retail for a brand new unit, which is what attracted my attention.The Audio Refinement is nice sounding but does not have enough watts for my needs. I have also heard the 70 watt YB... | |
| AMC Tube Amplifiers Thanks for your input. The amp I was looking at has the tube sockets installed so that won't be an issue. I have only heard their tube integrated amp a few years ago and it sounded pretty good- very rich. I am more concerned about heat and reliabi... | |
| Better adapter for portable CD players? If I understood your question correctly, Radio Shack also sells a plug which goes from the stereo mini plug to 2 female jacks, which would let you use any cables you want. I use this on my portable cd player and it works fine. | |
| Best and Worst Product Names How about Micromega DUO BS (for bitstream that is)?Ironically, despite its name, it's a great sounding dac (no bs). | |
| Confused By A Transport Upgrade I wonder if there is something wrong with the Pearl. A few years ago, when auditioning various transports, I had a similar experience with an Audio Alchemy transport that coincidentally used the Pioneer stable platter. The sound was so dull and so... |
