My stereo isn't doing it for me. Need advice
1:Dyaudio's are generally low in sensitivity and may need a more powerful amp when playing louder.2: CD player is not up to snuff3: Cables not up to snuff either. Kimber 8TC is a good starter cable without the resolution of some of the better cabl... 
Unison Research Triode 25 vs Prima Luna Dialoge
The Prima stuff is very nice but their is a magic in the Triode 25 that is very hard to beat, and the Triode 25 can be purchased with a built in dac, which is a very nice combo.I have an S6 which is basically the same circuit with an extra pair of... 
Hegel H4SE is mind blowing
You should hear a Devialet 200 you would have the same level of immediacy with great flow and even better bass control and slam with zero noise which is something you have to hear to believe. The Pass stuff is very good but this shows you that the... 
Totem Forest Signature -or- Spendor D7
The whole post is silly, how can you ask any other person to choose speakers for your ears, and why would you not be open to any other speakers?You need to listen for yourself with you components if you can not get to a dealer then you need to eit... 
Hooking up Pass Labs X600 mono's to B&W 801's
You can either do a shot gun set which is two cables at the speaker end or 2 completely separate pairs either way works just as well. I would be more concerned with the quality of the cabling. Also The BAT CD player although a very good player is ... 
Krell CD Player.....Please Help
Perhaps it is a golden time to abandon spinning cds and to embrace streaming. A good dac with either a high quality computer setup or a streamer will offer far better sound then your old and out of date Krell CD player. 
Primare BD 32
I have one fantastic universal player, the only thing in it from Oppo is the drive thats it. If you google images of the player you will see 4-5 large circuit boards which are all Primares, unlike many other modified Oppo's there is almost nothing... 
Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs?
Where there is smoke there is often fire. We had a very prominent reviewer compare the PS with our similarly priced Aqua Hifi La Scala Dac which is an $8k dac and he was bowled over by how much better the Aqua sounded. Is is any wonder PS gets suc...

Paradigm Studio vs Prestige
I work for a Paradigm dealer, and the new Prestige series is a dramatic improvement over the older Studio Series.The Prestige offer a much higher degree of resolution, the F95 have thunderous bass and the sound stage is much wider. If you can do a...

Anyone heard PSB Imagine T3?
We just got our demo pair of T3 in to the shop and I have to agree with the other posters, for the money they are amazing speakers,We compared the T3 to the Syn One we just took a pair back in trade and the difference is huge. The Mc eq will make ... 
JC1 upgrade to Lamm M2.2 or dartzeel 108B or Ayre?
Cstoner, again your methodology is flawed, unless you have an Ayre in the exact same system and all you do is switch out the amp then, and only then, you will know if you like that amp better in that system, with that particular brand of ancillary... 
JC1 upgrade to Lamm M2.2 or dartzeel 108B or Ayre?
Cstooner what other brands of solid state amps have you heard and in direct comparison to Ayre?The Ayre amps are indeed very good amps, but so are a lot of other top solid state designs from BAT, Electrocompaniet, Pass Labs, and many, many others....
