| Audio Aero Capitole MK2 CD Puck. The importer has a replacement puck kit that you can buy for about $130Instead of a cone-shaped spindle it has a non-tapered shaft of about a half inch diameter. The new puck then locates snuggly onto the shaft eliminating any lateral movement whe... | |
| Anyone using the Lyngdorf TDA2200? I use mine with a 2+2 horn system. It replaced an Aesthetix Calypso preamp and a Gallo Ref 3 subwoofer amp and XO. I run my CD player into the analog inputs rather than use the TDAi as a DAC, but it's close either way. I could sell my CD (Aero Cap... | |
| Nuforce 9.02s powering Maggies? The Nuforce are 300w into the 3.6's 4 ohms with a 650w peak....am I missing something other than the obvious? | |

| Anti-jitter device with I2S output? Audio Alchemy Dti Pro 32 has I2S. It works great too.Rooze | |
| Best Balanced/XLR Under $200 The Straightwire Maestro suggestion is a good one. Also, the BMC (Black Mountain Cable Co.) XLR's are very good for the price. A little warmer and smoother than the Straightwires (in my system, my ears, etc) and they seem to go at auction for less... | |
| Best Genesis Album - your opinions please. Rackon, that's a great period in their history you were able to be involved in. You mentioned their farewell tour at McCormick, there was actually one other show at Milton Keynes in 1982. Gabriel had run into serious money problems promoting his W... | |
| Favorite Movie Soundtrack Any of the Spaghetti western themes, the best of Ennio Morricone is an enjoyable CD. | |
| Opinions on Straght wire? I like the The Maestro II in my system. It's a lively cable, a little bright sounding but still quite enjoyable. | |
| Guitar Solos More of a 'lick' than a solo, but Brian May on Bohemian Rhapsody...Then Stevie R V's version of Little Wing...Santana's Samba Pa Ti.....goosebump city! | |
| Magnepan 3.6R biamp crossover Another option is to find a used Magnepan XO1 crossover. That will allow you to biamp with amps that are not gain matched, and also bipass the caps/inductors for the LF. They go for about $100, though they're pretty rare.I have one sitting around ... | |
| Another sign SACD is dying Hi Ben,I didn't really miss the point, it's been made already, and I agree with it, so didn't feel the need to restate it.In some ways it's like the chicken and the egg scenario. I actually waited over 3 yrs before finally buying a Universal playe... | |
| Another sign SACD is dying It's an interesting post mortum.My take is that we've all had 20 years to optimize our Redbook hardware and get it sounding pretty good. Then along comes SACD with the promise of better sound quality, so we go out and plop down $1000 on a new SACD... | |
