Speakers "Disappearing"
I have a pair of Martin/Logan SL-3's and first off have to bring them well out from the rear wall as the actually project backwards quite a bit and much ofof the audio experience will be lost totally.  Living in a small one bedroom apartment I fin... 
Ps Audio BHK preamp Vs ARC best preamps
I meant the PS Audio Stellar Gain Cell Dac for $1799.  But my point is, as owners of the top of the BKH electronics have replied already that the addition of the BKK preamplifier adds great to the quality of the audio quality, it the just comes to... 
Ps Audio BHK preamp Vs ARC best preamps
On my speaker based audio system I am presently using an Audio Research LS27 preamp, but only a simple Odyssey Khartago amplifier.  The reason is right now simply finances.  But why I am mentioning this at this time that I still am able to achieve... 
Ps Audio BHK preamp Vs ARC best preamps
The only way to find out which is the best way to go is to actually do a comparison.  You could use the mono BHK amplifiers first with the BHK preamp, next go to a top end recent Audio Research tube preamp.  To make it complete try substituting a ...

That is a Rega Osiris integrated amplifier, not preamplifier 
Ps Audio BHK preamp Vs ARC best preamps
I am currently using top of the lind MG Audio Design interconnects,  I first learned about them from the late Arnie Nudell.  When I discovered that I could purchase half meter pairs for $900 I was in.  I later later learned that Paul McGowan uses ... 
Ps Audio BHK preamp Vs ARC best preamps
Having an Audio Research LS27 I have found that when I connect my approximatly 35 year old Stax headphone systems using Stax either solid state or tube Stax amplifiers with them that when I hook the Stax systems thru my LS27's record out outputs t... 
Is my Amp OK?
I think that quite possibly the quality of your speakers and that of your DAC might be of superior quality than your Rotel amplifier.  Revel and Cary I believe are generally of a superior quality than Rotel audio products.  So maybe an amplifier u... 
Let's talk power cords
I have found that power cords along with power conditioning are both needed to achieve best results.  In my case I am presently using Audioquest power cords-NRG1000, NRG100's plus NRG10's, along with two Audioquest Niagara 1000's.  They together m... 
Let's talk power cords
All this discussion on whether or not that power cords make a difference or not o audio reproduction can be proved true or false by scientific measurements alone is a true fallacy.  Power cords, power conditioners, interconnects and speaker wires ... 
Vandersteen fans..need your input (TREO CT)
Let me expand as someone who has had a very expensive audio system, but there remain certain limitations in certain areas of audio reproduction that do not suit your own personal needs.  I do know for certain that the Vanderstein 7's when they fir... 
Vandersteen fans..need your input (TREO CT)
It might be as simple as you not having enough power for the paticular speakers that you are presently using.  I myself have the same problem running my Martin?Logan SL-3 speakers with only 130 watts per channel from my Odyssey Khartago Extreme am... 
Opening a can of worms
I myself am using MG Audio Design's top of the line interconnects.  I first learned about them from Arnie Nudell when he stated that he himself was using them.  I later learned from Paul McGowan of PS Audio that he also uses them, and lastly that ... 
Opening a can of worms
I myself found out about MG Audio Design interconnects from an article appearing in TAS by Arnie Nudell.  Later I learned that not only did Paul McGowan of PS Audio use them, but that members of the Colorado Society preferred them to top of the li... 
Opening a can of worms
I myself have discovered MG Audio Design interconnects, at first from comments made by Arnie Nudell about them-that he himself found them to be he best avaliable at any price.  Latr I found out that Paul McGown of PSAudio also uses them, and also ...
