| Music for toddlers and parents? My son loves Tchaikovsky's music. He first heard it when he was about two. I would recommend The Nutcracker or Swan Lake. Accompany it with a fairy tale initially while the music is playing. Kids have great imagination and they enjoy a good story ... | |
| AR LS 26 and Pass Labs X350.5 Compatible? so what preamp are you planning on getting? | |
| Mark Levinson Where is the Emotion?? your MC2 cable is fine. Upgrade the receiver to a nice integrated. Forget the transport for now. It's fine. Work on the amplification first. I don't know how efficient the speakers are, but if you can drive them with one of the Cayin integrated am... | |
| Mark Levinson Where is the Emotion?? doesn't that receiver have digital input? Then try this - run your cd transport into the receiver instead of levinson dac and compare it with the sound of your usual config.What do you like better? | |
| Entry levels ICs for Classe gear I recommend you consider XLR cables from www.bluejeanscables.com unless you want to spend >$500 on a used pair.The blue jeans cables are very good quality, excellent sound and have Neutrik connectors. They won't be out of place in your system. ... | |
| No More upgrades to ARC LS25 Mk.1? 6H23 NOS Russian Military tubes. Affordable and sound very good. Better all around than EH or Sovtek. Smoother top, more natural, better soundstage.I use Mullard made by Amperex in Holland NOS 6922. Very nice sound. They're not as expensive as som... | |
| AR LS 26 and Pass Labs X350.5 Compatible? Aurelius, best is to try. Dave(Dpac996) makes an excellent point and provided a good bit of information that should hint you on what to look for and what to ask. Call ARC and ask them all the questions you already have just to put my the mind at e... | |

| Tube/SS synergy? Joeb, is your LS-15 with REL caps or InfiniCaps?I had LS-15 with REL caps and it severely lacked bottom end punch. I replaced the caps with TRT Dynamicaps and it changed the sound entirely. It had more punch, smoother and overall more natural. The... | |
| Amplifiers for B&W 803D/802D Statusnine, McIntosh and Pass are very different amps.X250.5 is a 2-ch amp, 250w/ch into 8ohms. It doubles into 4 ohms. It's a different design from MC402. X250.5 provides about 36 watts/ch of pure class A which is great for low level listening. A... | |
| Amplifiers for B&W 803D/802D I'd go for the 803D. To me they're better balanced and can work off the lesser power amp but they still need plenty of power. I would recommend 803D with either MC501, bigger Classe, Pass X250.5 or X350.5 or the bigger Levinson amps.I heard 803D a... | |
| Who is your favorite blues guitarist SRV, to me, both musically and technically is unbeatable. | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx Mhelming, 803Ds are great speakers man! Now you heard what I was talking about when you heard the 402 with 803D. I guess now you know why I'm not much of a 402 fan. | |
| tube cd for bright system Benchmark is more digital sounding than Bel Canto. At least it was in my system and several other people I know reported the same. | |
| tube cd for bright system Bel Canto DAC-2 is pretty smooth sounding with great bass. Not bright at all. I had this dac and used a $60 dvd player with it as a transport at some point. Excellent sound even with the cheap dvd player. The key is to get a good digital cable tho... |
