| B&W 801 separate amplifier just for bass drivers I heard N801 with Classe and Mac equipment. I thought they sounded very smooth with Mac but had a little more life in them with the Classe. If your taste in music is mainly classical and jazz, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend McIntosh. I beleive t... | |
| B&W 801 separate amplifier just for bass drivers AK, I've heard FPB series amps some time ago and didn't find them harsh. It depends on other equipment as well. McIntosh and Classe amps sound quiet nice with B&Ws as well. | |
| B&W 801 separate amplifier just for bass drivers so, why not consider other amps. Does it have to be Levinson? what about Audio Research 300.2, BAT VK600, McCormack DNA-500, Krell FPB? can't you seel the ML and get a used Krell FPB600 on Audiogon, for example? I think you may encounter a problem... | |

| B&W 803D and Pathos Classic One Rocky, sorry, I have no experience with the PS Audio unit. I use Shunyata Hydra line conditioners. | |
| power conditoning with power amps hey, Nsgarch, excellent advice, but he said he's not interested in any other products. | |
| B&W 803D and Pathos Classic One You'd want a surge protector that would not harm the sound, so I would suggest something passive, like Shunyata Hydra for example. I own 2 Hydra2 units. Very nice sound with reduced noise floor.As far as the wires, after trying lots of interconnec... | |
| Esoteric x-03 se vs ARC cd3 mk2 there will always be an upgrade concern. Get your player used on a-gon, so you can sell it later to get the latest model. Nut personally, I think ARC will not issue a new player within a year or two anyway. | |
| Anyone tried the Shunyata Venom PC? I had Shunyata Diamondback cord on a digital source and then compared it to the Audience powerChord.I highly recommend Audience powerChord for a digitial source(as a matter of fack, I now use the powerChord on all my components, digital or analog)... | |
| Pass X1 / X250 - how to get a bit foregivable ??? in my experience, what makes it unlistenable is usually a source component. Not the pre-amp, not the amp. Try a different player. May be a tube cd player would be a good solution. Just a thought.... | |

| What is the best redbook CD player for 6K to 8K? dodson da218 dac with a good transport will be a killer redbook playback. As good as it gets in its price class.As one box players go, I really like my ARC CD3MkII, but it's ubder your budget. So may be ARC CD7 will be a better choice for you. |
