| Bel Canto evo 2 amp with Paradigm 100's Why do you suspect that, KR4?My experience is limited to the 200.2 and 200.4 (I use evo amps on all 5 channels of my h/t system), but I recently read a review somewhere of the evo4 (4-channel version of the evo2) that said bridging benefitted the ... | |
| Bel Canto evo 2 amp with Paradigm 100's I have used the EVo 200.2 (precursor to the EVo2) with the Paradigm 80's and loved the combination. The Evo is an awesome amp that does everything well. You should try to stretch the budget for the EVo4 and run it in bridged mode. The already grea... | |

| Audiogoners-some musical recommendations I second Fly Fish NZ's recommendations re: Joe Henry and Gillian Welch. They should not be missed. Welch's earlier efforts, "Revival" and "Hell Among the Yearlings" are also great. | |
| Audiogoners-some musical recommendations John Hammond "Wicked Grin" (Blues vocalist sings Tom Waits songs in an album produced by Waits. "Jockey Full of Bourbon" worth the price by itself.).Penguin Cafe Orchestra "Greatest Hits" (this band has been around since the early 80's. Sort of od... | |
| Which preamps if any combine all these features? The Simaudio Moon P-5 has everything on the list except mono and phase inversion controls and sounds awesome. You can find them on A'gon for around $2500. | |
| Audiogoners-some musical recommendations I think that is a great idea for a thread, Ben. SD Campbell's jazz recommendations and the threads they inspire have been invaluable in my quest for new jazz, and I hope this thread will serve the same purpose with other styles.My initial recommen... | |
| Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS What a silly notion. Adam Smith (if he were inclined to read Audiogon forum posts) would turn in his grave. If you subtract any consideration of what the buyer gets in exchange for payment of ANY fee (which, as rational maximizers, is an analysis ... | |
| Just a note of thanks You aren't boring me! I moved to DC from Miami Beach about two years ago, and your post reminds of the parts of living there that I miss most -- Cuban music (and food and women) and Biscayne Bay. I am not Cuban, but I miss living in a city with so... | |
| New Acoustic Zen Matrix vs. old Matrix I emailed Acoustic Zen with the same question about the Silver Reference, and this is the response I got from David Schiavone:"The newer version has a little less harshness in the lower tremble.Where they also differ is the new version has a fulle... | |
| Wilco- Wow I agree with Rolling Stone's assessment of the new Wilco as the "first great album of the year." It's brilliant, and I can't get enough of it. When I think that Wilco's former label, Warner music, refused to release it, I have to wonder what they ... | |
| Walker HDL's worth it?Anyway to replicate cheaply? They may indeed be snake oil, but I think they are definitely worth it at the used price. I installed a pair on my Audio Physic Libras, and they made a noticeable difference. The noise floor was lowered, and the background became 'blacker.' | |
| Is Reliable Audio Video really reliable? I had a similar experience with Reliable. I ordered an item that they did not have in stock. After waiting about two weeks for the back order to come in, I found the item elswhere (on Audiogon, actually). I called and emailed for them to cancel my... | |
| Power amps: Bel Canto v.s. PS Audio Hybrid Although I have never heard the PS Audio amp, I use two of the EvO 200.2's as monoblocks to drive a pair of Audio Physic Libras. The combination is fast and accurate and delivers terrific and articulate bass. The soundstaging is phenomenal. The Be... | |
| Power cord question I have a similar problem with keeping the IECs snugly connected to the components. Where can I find these Synergistic Research powercord supports? I am surprised component manufacturers haven't provided some solution themselves. |
