| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) Just want to thank everyone that answered my question and actually suggested specific speaker models. I didn't want to disclose it initially in order to avoid biasing responses but I am seriously considering a pair of ATC SCM50SL (passive). I'm qu... | |
| Mod shop for CD players in the Northeast? It's actually a pair of Dynaudio Air20 monitors that I'm trying to figure out are worth modding. They have DSP in the signal. Any analog signal coming in to the amp is converted to digital for the DSP and finally converted back to analog before th... | |
| Pro-Ject phono preamps? Neko, I am leaning towards the RS. I think at the end of the day, I'd prefer accuracy over the tube glow. A buffer is a good idea, I could use it when I crave tubes (at other times I wouldn't want to compromise the signal path). I was actually pla... | |
| Pro-Ject phono preamps? Thanks Grinnell. Unfortunately the Hagerman does not accept MC (I have a DL103). Thanks Chayro.Matt, thank you, just curious, have you heard Pro Ject phono preamps? May I ask if you have heard the RS phono preamp? It is supposedly a higher range m... | |
| Pro-Ject phono preamps? Unhelpful but humorous. But why 003? I think Mid003 may be better as I'm not downsizing to that degree. | |
| Who mods class D/digital amps? It's a pretty drastic sort of distortion, effective throughout the full audible range (to my ears). Think of a clock radio with the volume turned up to the full level (this is a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the idea). It is only evident on ... | |
| Who mods class D/digital amps? I don't know how to reduce the analog input sensitivity. It may or may not be accessible through the onboard controller, but I would have to access the configuration via a PC. I haven't ventured into that yet. The distortion only occurs on certain... | |
| How to tell the quality of a digital amp. Zd542- yes I am aware of the NAD M12, thanks for input anyhow. This preamp would be perfect of my needs (other than the fact it's manufactured in China) but unfortunately its way out of my price range (which is $1,500-$2k). I will most likely have... | |
| Preamp with digital and analog in/out ? Al, Thank you, I will check out that unit. I think I recall it's pro audio stuff.Zd542- I'm using Dynaudio Air20 active monitors which have fully digital amps in them. There is no digital to analog conversion until the signal reaches the transduce... | |
| Sunfire Classic Tube Preamp or ARC SP14? Generally speaking, I've found tubes to be warmer. There are exceptions, of course. I don't think the Air 20 has a built in pre, more like attenuation for the amp. It can also run in analog mode.In response to Mtich- thank you. What pre did you wi... | |
| Audio Consignment Shop In The New York Area? Thanks you guys for the advice.I posted on Audiogon for a month and there was not one inquiry. Not even a low ball offer. ATC is not a well known hifi brand and that is why I am thinking about consigning them. I have them posted on Ebay. I would l... | |
| What's your "diminishing returns" preamp choice? Tubegroover, I appreciate your suggestion. I will try to check out the Odyssey Candela. I'm looking for a very transparent and accurate preamp. One that conveys all the detail and nuance of recordings. Also, it must be fast enough to accurately re... |
