| Sound Anchor stands/B&W 802N/tweeter height I used the Sound Anchors with the 801n's. The speaker with the anchors is 100% improved with the stands. I found that I had a new respect for the cabinet design as the speaker seemed to be more free and natural sounding as well as tuneful. The sta... | |
| Wadia 861 I had a Statement 861 from GNSC. Before the upgrade, I listened to many players in many systems. As my ears and taste improved, I began to find the 861 lacking for all the reasons you may read about in these disussions.I decided to not give up on ... | |
| B&W Matrix vs Nautulis I owned a pair of S2's for awhile. I sold them and built another system later with the N801's. I used BAT solid state amps and BAT's vk40 and vk50se preamp and Wadia cd player. I found that the matrix s2's were fun enough. However, The N801 tops t... | |
| Glitch with Wadia 861 This was an issue also with my GNS 861. The drawer began to unreliably open and close. Also, it would open and close at much slower speeds. Steve Huntley fixed it while he installed the statement mod. Apparently there was a motor that needed repla... | |
| Add, Change, or Delete? N801 , Krell , Wadia..... Upgrade the the 850 to a GNS modded 850 or 861. The sound will be smoother and fuller while retaining the detail. There will also be more warmth. | |

| Revel Studio, Legacy Whispers, B&W N802 The B&W's can sound very "wet" and liquid when used with a tube preamp and tube amps. I used a vk50se with ss amps and I was amazed and dumfounded. I believed my speakers sounded dry. Well, its all about setup and componentry. I am of the beli... | |
| BAT VK500 upgrade struggles Hello,JFRENCH has some good points. I would re-read his post closely and step by step. I notice a lot of 'goners seem to insert gear as if they are trying on clothes in a department store. No offense intended. I think that after all the research w... | |

| Why do Japanese-pressed CDs sound better? I have a few Japanese mini lp's (cd's) I bought from Redtrumpet.com at a CES some years ago that really are treasures for me. The sound is very well balanced and very natural and lifelike. The cd packaging itself is like art. So, why DO these soun... | |
| A difference between First Sound Presence products Lrsky,Please do a follow up on your early experience with the Deluxe MK2 when you can. Info from product owners is scarce. I too have spoken to Mr. Go about his product line. My first introduction to tubes included this preamp in the system. Since... | |
