| What would you do differently? Hi Dave, thanks for the offer for my hand, but as Justlisten pointed out, I'd better stay single so there's never any occasion for dividing up the property! As far as listening to the 1SC's on all the different amps, I've only owned them since I'v... | |
| Help i'm lost... what cd player to buy ?? Jinn, stay away from the SACD route. Unless you spend megabucks, and are willing to listen to the same 10 or 15 discs all the time, it is not worth it. Get as good a CD player as you can afford, if you're looking for new then I second the Cambridg... | |
| Isolation accessories for heavy amp? I use a Sound Anchor stand w/Audiopoints on the stand and between my ARC VT100 MkIII and the stand. On my ARC CA-50, I use Black Diamond Racing Cones screwed into the Black Diamond pucks underneath, sitting on a Salamander Synergy stand. On my Acu... | |
| What would you do differently? Hi, I'm a woman and I'm single and so I have done and can do whatever I like w/my house and systems and experimenting etc. Though I do take a LOT of flack from significant others, family, and friends with a sharp enough eye or attention span that ... | |
| Contemplating vinyl, How hard is it to get LPs? Many mail order houses for vinyl these days, also you can buy albums by the groups you list in good condition used from time to time on this site, also check eBay. Some new music is also issued on vinyl, but not by the groups you listed (obviously... | |
| Best interconnects 2m for less than 200/pr used Hi, just wanted to throw my 2 cents in re. the suggestion about the Viper. I use Vipers in my small scale HT system and for audio it is quite bright and "splashy" as someone said about the Blue Heavens. You can get a good price on it used or demo ... | |
| What Would you Trade your System FOR? I have never seen or heard of, much less driven, most of the cars you guys are obsessing about! Are they really that spectacular? I drove my friend's BMW 323i a few times and that is the absolute best, smooth shifting, smooth- and FAST-acceleratin... | |
| Your opinion on burn in Welcome, Grayson. | |
| Does anyone know of anyone/place that can reterminate cables I agree with asking your local dealer. Mine has ordered upgraded spades or RCAs for me and soldered and wrapped everything very professionally, usually for free, but sometimes, I guess if I haven't bought anything from him in a while (becoming a m... | |
| Your opinion on burn in You know, your ears really do "burn in" for each listening session! I have noticed this each time I turn on one of my systems and start listening. Even if the tube amp and preamp have been playing for 45 mins or so, when I first sit down to listen... | |
| Help with Meridian 518 Another thought: when you use the 518 as a preamp, you have to set the unit up that way. There is a code you punch in right after turning it on, either 0 or 1 or 2, I can't remember which code is for the preamp and which for the resolution enhance... | |
| Best interconnects 2m for less than 200/pr used Oh yeah, I also forgot that if you buy used, you can get Nordost Blue Heavens for that price, and possibly even Red Dawns. They go for about $200 used for a 1 meter pair, not sure how much more a 2m pair would be. These are also excellent intercon... | |
| Best interconnects 2m for less than 200/pr used I've been using the DH Labs BL-1 series 2 interconnects in my little home theater system and for my tuners and I have been very pleased. These are available either new or in auctions or used on this site for within your price range. I've also used... | |
| Old Stereophile Magazines People buy back issues and sets of these and other audio mags all the time. I've been recycling mine forever, except for a couple of issues reviewing products I like or own or something. You can sell them here, or on eBay. | |
| What Would you Trade your System FOR? I wouldn't trade even my second system for anything on earth. Music gives me more pleasure and lasting contentment and sense of purpose and meaning in life than anything. However, if I was assured that giving up both my systems would mean no tribe... |
