| Sub for $500 - Adire Rava or Hsu VTF-2? Others? I would actually try to find an Now Discontinued B&W ASW500,which I auditioned for a lengthy period of time a few years ago. Next to REL's for music this little 70w Mosfet 10" front firing sub was amazing! The internal amp was made by Rotel fo... | |
| speaker break-in, how loud? NO, just play them at the volume level you would generally listen to music at. B&W recommends 15 hours of break-in, which means just playing them for 15 hours. However the Kevlar driver, IMO needs more than 15 hours. They will sound better at ... | |

| Review: B&W CDM-Cnt Monitor You haven't even heard this speaker sing till it's isolated on Sound Anchors Center Speaker Stand using Blu-Dot's, w/ 4 spikes & the stainless steel Sound Coasters. | |
| Which will make the most impact, Tube amp or pre.. Good Answer D911!I think it's just the Fad, right now? Adding a tube-pre, w/ a SS amp, this combo is to add tube warmth. I'm about to give it a shot next week & jump aboard the trend, adding a BAT VK-3i to a Bryston 4B-ST in one of my systems.... | |
| Rush remasters- thumbs up. Rush's Remastered "Moving Pictures" cd is mind blowing!!! Mercury did an incredible job on this re-release, the first few seconds of "YYZ", check to see if your tweeters are still connected, as they seem to be dancing happily above the speakers. T... | |
| Anyone still excited about HDCD ? Yes still crazy bout HDCD after all these years! Not going to dump on SACD either (too much), yet I find myself selling of 60% of the sacd titles I've purchased. Sold off my SCD-1, using my first sony SCD-333ES for sacd now. Yet still have an ol'e... | |
| How do I clean CDs with isopropyl alcohol? I clean all my CD's with a vacuum cleaner using a crevice attachment while listening to Madonna's "Get into the Grove"! You'd be suprized at all the lost change, & missing socks that are at times found in the Compact Disk Groves during spring ... | |
| Do SACD player start up slower All of the following 4 units have spent auditoning time in my rack. My SCD-1 was the slow......est for the TOS to load, you could watch the leaves on the tree's go thru a change color before the first track would play! The Sony scd-333/555 5 disc ... | |
| Chair or Sofa? Which do you use? When not trying Naked Audio Tweaks, I searched for about one year till I found the most comfortable Non-Fatiguing listening chair. A leather Recliner made by a company called Calia their Monda model. It has a multitude of listening positions &... | |
| Chair or Sofa? Which do you use? I tried Jax2's seating recommendation. Found out that if you also Shave your entire body hair, & cover yourself with thin coat Johnson's Baby Oil, the Music seems to just Flow better! Make sure to use atleast 4 Blu-Dots on your Bum for secure ... | |

| Review: Sony CDP-XA20es CD Player Bravo Rrayda - Great Review!I also own a XA20ES for about 2 years, it's treated like the red headed step brother of the Stereophile Class "A" XA7. Yet dollar for dollar $700 vs $3000, I ran the two XA's against each other & walked away w/ the ... | |
| Anyone compare the B&W CDM9NT & N804 I wanted a pair of N802's, they where out of my budget for a 5.1 set-up. I spent months comparing the CDM9-NT & N804's. I wound up buying a pair of 9's, even after being allowed to borrow the 804 floor samples for the weekend. Out of the box t... |
