anyone with a 'system' near me?
I was just trying to get the ball rolling. I'm glad to see the results so far. Like I said, this was meant to be a brainstorming session to elicit ideas. As far as using this thread to actually get together, I think that might best be done by crea... 
Avantgarde Uno Loudspeakers: Comments?
They are absolutely worth giving them an extended, and open minded evaluation. I recently auditioned a pair of Duo's using 3 different amplifier sources. They do things that no other speaker can do in my experience. They have immediacy, incredible... 
BAT Equipment vs Audio Research
Dear Mr. Pipes, All I can say is I envy your ability to afford such great equipment. If you live remotely close to me, I will supply the fine wine in exchange for an evening of music on your system. Is you home anywhere near Wisconsin? 
Anyone heard the marsh and odyssey amps?
It's about satisfying your musical desires. There is no technology available today that can interpret what the human ear/brain hears and translate that into measurements. You can by a midfi receiver from Sears with distortion measurements of less ... 
Anyone heard the marsh and odyssey amps?
I just auditioned the stereo version with Symphonic cap upgrade. The build quality is superb, and the sound is equally impressive - clean, wide-band, undistorted, with tons of power. I was comparing it side by side with $10k VT200, and the Odyssey... 
Audio research LS25 any opinions
I've got one too. Think it's great, but realized significant improvement by using different nos tubes 
Best Magneplanars Ever!?
Hey PikII, I gotta hear your system! Where do you live? 
Counterpoint SA 220,Comments anybody?
The VT100 mkII is superb. It has no weaknesses, and equally important is the name behind. AR has been around for a long time, there products are extremely reliable, they offer great product support, and they offer continual upgrades to existing pr... 
Anybody out there using Spectron amp?
Check audioreview.com for a number of mixed reviews. Amp seems to have great potential, but there seems to be a reliability/quality control and product support issue. 
is there an alternative to PS AUDIO
BYBEE. I had the P300 for about a month, and although it was effective in creating a blacker bacground in the music, it introduced an annoying hum in my components. Every Bybee component I've used has had a positive effect - power line filter, pow... 
Proac Response 1sc or Merlin TSM-SE
This is a very competitive arena. You are bound to get many opinions. I've had all 3 in my home for extended auditions, and have owned the TSM's. The Dynaudios are overrated and not even in the same league. The 1Sc are warm, musical and most fullf... 
Bryston vs. McCormack
My oh My. I used to be just like you guys - solid state all the way. I owned some great SS stuff like Threshold and McCormack. I kept moving up the power ladder going from 100 class A watts to 375, but always felt there was something lacking, and ... 
FavoriteSpeaker Cables for Bryston/Proac
I used to own Audioquest Dragon ($4700) and replaced with a pair of solid silver conductors with 95% air dielectric. The cost for a 10ft pair was $449, and is superior to the Dragon. The only caveat is that they are somewhat fragile due to the die...
