| Wife/girlfriend or audio: if you had to chose? >>If only we could find a way to combine the best of both worlds.<<How about a speaker with 2 big woofers, a port in the front and back, that cooks dinner on time, and plays only as needed? | |
| Is a Koetsu Rosewood Sig Overkill for my JMW 9Sig? Optomized, to me, is the cartridge or any component reaching its' full potential. In the case of the JMW-9 cartridges such as the Dynavector 20XH, Benz Glider, and Lyra Helikon sound very nice. IMO a better tonearm are will not extract much more f... | |
| McIntosh C1000 tube pre vs. ARC Ref 3? >>So I am quite a bit more qualified here than most.<<No not really. Lots of us haven't heard a side by side comparison of these two products.You are one of us. | |
| Is a Koetsu Rosewood Sig Overkill for my JMW 9Sig? Semi,I owned a JMW-9 for 2 years so I speak from experience. I used it with 4 different cartridges, Dynavector 20XH, Music Maker 2, Zyx Airy 2, and Zyx Airy 3. The 9 will track all of these cartridges but only the Dynavector will be optimized. The... | |

| Amps for Avantgarde >>I just though that I might have a little more knowledge on the subject then most.<<That's rather presumptuous don't you think? There are many many experienced audiophiles here, most of whom are not in the trade. Recommending only pro... | |

| McIntosh C1000 tube pre vs. ARC Ref 3? >>The McIntosh is the clear winner here by a country mile, even though I will admit I haven't heard the ARC.<<It's probably a good idea to think before you type. | |

| Postive or Negative Results -Big Amp & Conditioner Hi Joe,Like Dedicated Audio I also sell Running Springs. Cheers. | |
| 845 Tube vs KT90 >>unless the tone controls are biased up almost all the way.<<That's hilarious.How do you expect to evaluate any amplifier, speaker, and/or tube combination with tone controls maxed out?Lastly, it is disingenuous to judge the qualities... | |
| What DAC to use with a Sony XA7ES >>No other player resolves Redbook recordings better than the XA7ES<<I owned this player for 4 years and while I agree it is a superb piece there are many many superior players at this moment. However, when released in 1995 it was one ... | |
