| Who's with me? I totally agree with you and love my 1960s, 70s records. The Rock/Pop business today is all about putting the final product onto a compressed file for a new generation of listeners. Jazz and Classical labels are into Hi Rez digital with vinyl in m... | |
| Possible Desktop Speakers? Jkman...what's your budget? And do u plan on bookshelf speakers with a subwoofer? (also with a room that size you could go with floorstanders).** Are they literally being placed on a desk or just bookshelf size, because in the other thread you wer... | |
| The Gear to drive Mini Maggies Jim, so far only wpc channel have been mentioned to drive the Maggies. ie: 50 watts or 1000 wpc. That is only part of the the picture...in your situation an amp with high current is more important than overall power as measured in WPC.Al or one of... | |
| The Gear to drive Mini Maggies Nobody has come out and said it, but use only one amp and not anything near 1000 wpc. Check the suggested power specs for the Maggies. | |
| When do you need a power conditioner Good advice from Tls49. If you are in a house, 2 lines would be easy and recommended. BTW, "dedicated line" means your system would be separated from the rest of the electrical and have it's own breakers. No more interference from sharing AC with ... | |
| When do you need a power conditioner Yes, the right PC absolutely helps. But first of all, tell us if you have a dedicated line to your rig? I would start with that.Not familiar with your Monster stage 2, but sometimes you need 2 PCs in a large system. | |
| Best Turntable for the Price - Linn Basik I'm sure there are some excellent TTs at that price point, but my point is the comparison an old Linn's build quality and sound to the Rega RP5 and one of the Music Hall TTs, for my taste the Linn is the winner. It says to me I'll have to move up ... | |
| Best Turntable for the Price - Linn Basik You'll never find a new budget TT as good as the Linn Axis or Basic. Back then Linn was devoted to quality and an extraordinary house sound.I was recently auditioning new TTs in the $1500 range and none could measure up to my Axis. (original owner) | |
| Stereo equalizer connection to integrated amplifie Buconero117, thanks for your reply, but Broadstone and I discussed this in an earlier thread. I also have hyperacusis and tinnitus, but not as severe as his. I've seen the ENT, audiologists and have been diagnosed; I'm now seeing a Neurologist who... | |
| Please alleviate my fears Have you tried playing a different source such as a CD to confirm this problem? If a CDP has the same volume range then the amp is the culprit. | |
| What is the best sounding Mahler symphony cycle? thanks Schubert. I guess I'll have to use Google and Naxos. (BIS has a catalog). | |
| What is the best sounding Mahler symphony cycle? A definitive answer to the OP's question of audiophile quality is any of Zander's Mahler releases on Telarc. Although, I wouldn't consider Zander a top Mahlerian conductor, the Redbook CDs sound superb. | |
| What is the best sounding Mahler symphony cycle? Schubert...BIS is very mysterious; their website says that Naxos is their distributor. Have you ever made a purchase? | |
| What is the best sounding Mahler symphony cycle? Brownsfan and I really like our classical; just want to clarify one thing. The Bernstein box set is a technical achievement in remastering, but not audiofile. But the old style of mic'ing and mixing the orch and great sonics makes it more pleasura... | |
| What is the best sounding Mahler symphony cycle? If you like Bernstein, "Mahler: The Complete Symphonies" box set has Lenny and the NYP at their best. It contains performances from the 1960s and has the most amazing remastering of any classical CD I've ever heard.(DSD-remastered, 2008).For a sin... |
