Jun 27, 2004	Arcam FMJ 33 versus Ayre CX-7 The current issue of Stereophile has a very favorable review of the FMJ cd33, though the reviewer seems to prefer the sound of the Mach 1 DAC over the cd33.
Jun 23, 2004	HELP Arcam A75 or NAD 320BEE? I would go for the A75. The Nad is too bloated in the bass.
Jun 10, 2004	Quad 21L vs. Epos m15 I used to own a pair of M12 but gave them to my sister recently. Many people comment that the M15 which is the floor stand version of the M12 sounds worse than it's sibling stand mount.I have not heard the Quad but the Epos as point out by others ...

Jun 09, 2004	Nad new C352CT I am not sure if the C352CT is being offered in North America or not but the argument here is that if the C352CT is better than the C352 in term of sonic quality. If you read last month What HiFI review of the C352CT then you will know what I am t...
Jun 04, 2004	Switching and linear power supplies in hi-fi Nighthawk, I was just trying to find out what people are using in their high-end equipment. But linear regulators are much better in term of noise control which is I guess pretty important in analog circuits.Switching are probably used much more i...
Jun 01, 2004	nad 541i--output to interconnects or digital coax You probably have to try it out. My guess is that using a good interconnect will give you a slightly better sound since the 762 does have bypass for analog inputs.
May 31, 2004	Epos M12 Vs. M12.2 Check out this month HiFi Choise for the review of the M12.2
May 29, 2004	NAD C372 Opinions There is a review of the C162 and C272 combo (preamp and power amp) in The Absolute Sound that is very complimentary.
May 28, 2004	Audio Refinement pre5-dsp VS Lexicon MC-1 I don't think AR has a Pre5dsp. There are a Pre 2dsp and a Pre5 and both of them are separate model. Both support direct 5.1 input for SACD or DVD-A. You can check last month Stereophile issue (May 2004) for a review of the Pre5 which was pretty p...
May 28, 2004	C542 vs. C541i Litsa123: Try DMC electronics. It may still have some in stock. You can search on the web for the phone number. It is in the Los Angeles area. I bought many things there and I couldn't have asked for better service.By the way, I am not the owner o...
May 27, 2004	Nad new C352CT Actually there are significant differences between the C352 and C352CT not just the color. The CT offers better sonic.
May 27, 2004	C542 vs. C541i I haven't heard them side by side personally but from reading some of the British reviews, the only significant difference (well relatively anyway) is that the 542 has better bass than the 541i. You need a good system to notice the difference in m...
May 27, 2004	Using Sony 300 disk CD changer as transport How much would a DIP help? There are a few Monarchy on sale but what type of improvement would one expect?
May 25, 2004	NAD C320BEE Rotel RA-01 Cambridge 640A Try the new Nad C352CT. The latest What HiFi magazine put it on top of other amp in the same price range. Notice that the older C352 version which had a rather negative reaction from What HiFI has gray finish. The new one which receives a very pos...
