Rolling Stones remasters
I checked and could not find a 'SA3' on 'Exile on Main'. The date stamp for the remastering is 1994.

Gents, Picked up Exile on Main Street with the cardboard packaging. While I was at Best Buys I also checked the jewel case version. It is also a remastered Virgin copy (Bob Ludwig 1994 same as cardboard packaged version). In this case the only dif... 
Best DAC Under $5000 - Opinions Please
Not sure what the best one is. However, I am very pleased with the Monarchy 18B which I recently purchased on auction for a price of $500. It made a noticable improvement to the sound that I was getting from my Sony single CD player. My suggestion...

Thanks Megasam and Lphunter2. The people at Hi Fi Buys didn't have a clue on this. I will make every effort to get the cardboard editions. Thanks again.

I have a question concerning the CD's packaged in the album like sleeves. Are they different from the CD's in the jewel cases that are also labeled remasters? 
Want to upgrade my Sonic Frontiers Line2
I am currently using a line 3 in my system. If you don't like the line 2 then you probably won't like the line 3. Perhaps you should try changing the tubes in the line 2. I would recommend calling Sonic Frontiers. When I talked to them last, they ... 
Tubed pre-amp for solid state amp?
I am currently using a Sonic Frontier Line 3 to drive a Bryston 4BST. The results are very close to what I get with a Krell KSA 200. Overall I am very happy with the results. 
Why Is Krell Not Considered Hifi?
I own a KSA 200S and it sounds good to me. My only complaint is that the amp does not take well to being shipped. It sounds good but not appreciably better than my Bryston 4BST. This may be due to the fact that my Ohm Walsh 300's while inefficient... 
Avantgarde Speakers
Upscaleaudio: Are you familiar with Ohm speakers? If you are I would appreciate a comparison to the Avantgardes. I know that the Avantgarde speakers will play much louder due their greater effieciency. I appreciate your opinion because of the cali... 
Avantgarde Speakers
Cornfedboy: the reason I am interested in their measurements is that most people who have heard them really seem to like them. If they sound sound as 'natural' as people claim then they should also test well. Other manufacturers such as Dunlavey a...

I am surprised to see that people still found this discussion. Does anyone know if the speaker's frequency response has been tested in an anechoic chamber? Preferably by a third party. 
Sonic Frontiers, what is going on??
I think Schacter may figured out what is up with SF. Hopefully they have their problems worked out as their gear is first rate. I bought a Line 3 about six months ago and really like it. You will have to spend north of 5K to get something close to... 
Avante Garde horn speakers.....
Carl, Thanks for the response. Your idea to tape a percussion sound and then to replay it is a damn good idea. I completely agree that if a person is using decent electronics in his system then the speakers are the most important part of the syste... 
Avante Garde horn speakers.....
Carl, any chance of talking you into giving these thing a listen? I want to check them out; but, its going to take some time. New city and new job has me working like a galley slave.

I appreciate your input, but would still like to audition them. My interest is due to the postive reviews by people who heard them at the CES in Las Vegas.
