| Wadia 170i/DAC combo with AudioEngine speakers I own and love the A5 but returned the A2. Prefer M-Audio model 40 (might be called AV40) over the A2. Amazon sells them around $150 shipped last I checked. The A2 sounds strained to me compared to A5 or the M-Audio. A5 is warmer and more robust t... | |

| Review: Discovery Plus 4 phono cable din to RCA Interconnect More detail please? Does it sound the same as your old cable? If not, how does it sound different? Thanks,Art | |
| Anyone spent time with the Totem Wind? If you were not "wowed" with them on a short listen, that might be a good sign.What "wows" us are often exaggerated bass or treble. As I think about my all time favorite speakers, they did not "wow" me at first. So, IMHO, your question is a fair o... | |
| Rel B2 or JL Audio f 112 Rels seem to blend spectacularly well with main speakers when set up right. JL's have always sounded very muscular in my experience which is great fun. I don't know how well they blend with mains.These are sufficiently expensive that if you have r... | |
| How to isolate bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf I've used Black Diamond Racing Cones and liked it. Also examine the stuff at Herbie's Audio Lab. All these are not very expensive and sell used for 60% of list in a heartbeat so your overall out of pocket will be very low. With monitors on bookshe... | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player NO DIGITAL INPUT? I reviewed the official specs and did not see a digital input. This would mean that one cannot access the DAC to stream digital from computer. Seems an odd and severe limitation these days. Am I reading this correctly? | |
| Skylan stand tweeks I also use Herbies Big Fat Dots (4) between speaker and stand. Very positive effect. Generally I find it best to get some air between a speaker and stand, rather than have speaker flush on a stand.I also put felt on the round threaded inserts to a... | |
| Has anyone tried Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 RCA IC? Blue Jeans LC-1 are very good in my system. I am surprised. They are not in the Nordost school, very lean and detailed, like someone mentioned, more like Cardas / MIT, but, the more expensive cables are a bit more detailed and articulate. We are a... | |
| What next after Audience AU24 and Siltech G3? Why not upgrade the Audience to "e"? | |
| Silverline Face-off: Sonatina II vs 17.5 Well, the Sonatina II's were locked in beautifully. Years of experimentation with cables, ohm settings, positioning, subwoofer setup (REL Strata III), tube choices for amp are cdp (both Cary)....17.5 sounds smaller but a bit more precise and refin... | |
| Marantz AV: Marantz NR1501 vs sr5004 etc... Thanks Bonger. I do have the 5004 in one of my rooms (or is it the 5003? I bought it one or two years ago). Very pleased with it as a home theatre receiver that can play music nicely in a pinch. the 1501 seems a sharp departure for Marantz. Do you... | |
| Avalon Pricing Policy? Well, it's great that you are offering the dealer the business. That gives them the opportunity to be creative within whatever rules they either need or like to follow. |
