| Bryston B60 - Is it worth it? Vlad,All comments above are right on. I owned a B-60 for a very brief period but sold it. At that time it wasn't a good match for my other associated equipment, but I don't fault the B-60. …Anyone who knows anything about audio won't make all enco... | |
| What are we listening to...for...with? This coin (no matter how many sided) has many perspectives. On occasion one might be drawn to a specific aspect of a given recording that one might not have focused on previously. I’d suggest that aside from personality (i.e. the audiophile ‘sound... | |

| Led Zep '71 BBC sessions - balance tweaking? I too own this recording, although I hadn't really listened to it until recently. ...New speaker cables improved my system and finally made these recordings listen-able. Most of the recordings on the first disc are of very poor quality, but the la... | |

| CD Pressings. Are they now Universal? Very interesting question Frap... I too wonder about this. I have purchased a few Japanese import CD's and believe that I have heard superior sound from them.The reason for my purchasing the Imports was that they contained bonus tracks that are no... | |
| What kind of power needed for Martin Logans? How audio sensitive are you? I've heard great things about the combination of Sim Audio's W-5 & ML's. ...I'd suspect that Sim's Titan HT amp sounds very similar to the W-5. Its my understanding that the Titan (can be configured 2,3,5,6 or 7 ch... | |
