MFSL Hybrid SACD, Brilliant! A must have.

Come on Jude, give it up already... I very courious on your thoughts of the "gain cells". I own the GCP-200 two channel pre-amp. I have to say its the finest preamp I have ever had in my system and I've had more than a few that cost 4x as much as the GCP. Look at this beauty. (ps, Thanks...

JVC makes a really nice little DVD micro system with wood cone drivers. It retails for $500 but it sounds amazing. Best I have heard in its class. Its the EX-A1 Heres a link to a bigger photo

Looking really good. Lets see some prOn

Sorry for the Jack but I want details on the $66 2x16 character vfd. Thanks

Im fairly sure the SLP-88 inverts polarity in the gain stage. How does this effect headphone listening? I'm wondering if it's corrected at the headphone output. Any clue?

I wear one of these because I have to many other obsessions (Boating, single engine planes, Cars, High-end Audio, Women, etc.) and havent got around to mens jewerly, yet... I know its not much but I think it looks nice and it even tells time. I'm not sure I even want to view this thread. It...

I agree, Cheap/good sounding used turntables start at around $400. I would save your pennys and look for a used Rega P3 on the Gon for around $500 or the Music Hall MMF-5 can be found between $350-$400. Remember a worn cartridge can destroy your LP's and new (decent) cartridges start around...

[flame suit on] I use Windows Media Player 9 and have been playing a little with WMP 10 on another machine. I love it. It has HUGE support, lots of updates and the WMP lossless sounds good enough for my PC rig. I dont believe any player has the functionality of MS WMP. The mini mode (task bar)...

Why not a step or ladder set-up? If your going to take it apart, might as well go all out. While your in there put a switch for input selection or convert it to a pass through. Just some ideas.... How far can you take the MG Head MKIII? Post some pics of the inside of the unit and power...

Thats odd. I sent an email/PM over to Joe Lau (ASL CEO). Hopefully he will join our discussion. Now, Go get a screwdriver and a digital camera and start posting some pics.

Quote: The MKII had a set of inputs and a set of outputs on the back.(which I assume was to let the signal pass through to a amp or receiver). The MKIII, on the other hand, just has two sets of inputs... but no way to switch them. What? That can't be right. Is it mislabled?

What do you know about the new amp? When will we get more information?

I recommend you put the Audience 52SE on your short list. Remember that they need to be a good distance from off the back wall (3-4' minimum) but they do a lot of things really well in their price range.... $0.02

I've got a MINT Pioneer SX-1050 in storage. Anyone try the headhone output on one of these monsters? Think it would worth draging out and pluging in the HD650?

Don’t waste your time, Stereophile has strict policies about products they review. No distribution network, No review consideration.

Is all well with the 1250? I have an old SX-1050 in my basement strorage area. This was my 1st piece of quality audio equipment. I never pluged in a set of cans. How is the headphone output? I have the HD650's and am looking for an excuse to drag the old Pioneer out of storage. Thanks In...

What’s with the religious agenda? Can you please take it outside or maybe this may be a more appropriate place for your preaching’s. This is the Equipment Category Forum for Source components and formats. Thanks In Advance!

Here is a link to the full pdf magazine, issue#3 Starts on page 13. The reviewer tested all these cans with the Apple iPod as the source and amplifaction. This guy gives the 650 a bad review (gosh, I wonder why?) Have a look, it's worth a laugh.

Check out "The Ultimate Attenuators" from EVS. Sorry about the big pic, it's from the EVS website. edit, picture a little big for dial up users.
