| Your "DREAM" piece Not a "dream" piece for me, however I'd like to know what a set of Levinson 33's would do for me in place of my current amplification. Actually I'm quite happy with my system as it is today. I consider myself lucky as I read of other's quest's for... | |
| Are the Von Schweikert VR-4JRs really all that? I haven't heard them, it seems that there are plenty available used. If you buy right and they don't work for you all you will have done is tied up a little cash 'til the next buyer comes along.I don't buy Chinese goods, but that's me. buy 'em and... | |
| Any Levinson 390s Level Players, But At Less Cost? To correct a misstatement in this thread....the 390S has ANALOG volume control, not digital. Having had the Wadia 270/27ix combo and now happily listening to a 390S I can tell you that I will not have digital attenuation in my system again.Best,Pa... | |
| Silver vs. Cooper speakers cables My experience has shown me that no advice will do....you need to try the cables in YOUR system. I recently tried the Acoustic Zen silver Reference between my CD Playar and preamp. It turned the sound flat and unemotional compared to the AZ Matrix ... | |
| Which is the best solid state poweramp under $9000 I have heard the McIntosh 501 monoblocks driving the new B&W 802D and it was quite good. I took the 501's home to try on my Aerial 20t's. Great midrange, instruments had plenty of space and soundstage was excellent. Bass control on my aerials ... | |

| Suggested amp to pair w/ Aerial 7A's on a budget Hafler 9500 or 9505. Plenty of power and within your budget. A great amp. Musical Concepts has mods for these that really sing too.Best,Paul :-) | |
| Need help for a replacement of my Levinson 33H As a 33H owner I want to take home the new McIntosh 501 monoblocks to try. I've heard them at a local dealer and my impressions were good......although I've had nothing in the house yet that has made me want to part with the 33H's.I can relate to ... | |
| More speakers for sale than other componenet. Y? What Photon46 sez is true. Most folks just dump speakers rather than seek synergy/component matching. That's OK. More bargains for us that work the system!Best,Paul :-) | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? Interesting thread. After having full HT system (Lex DC1, Logan QuestZ fronts, Logos center, SL3 rears, pair of 15" Velo FSR15 subs, etc............I have gone back to straight two-channel. Why is it I have no trouble whatsoever hearing dialog in ... | |
| Arlo Guthrie, Kingston Trio, & John Prine... I can't speak of the kingston Trio or Arlo, however John Prine's release "Souvenirs" on OhBoy records released in 2000 is quite good. Being the JP fan I am, I can listen to any, even the early CD releases.Hope this helps,Paul :-) | |
| Can anyone advise regarding using a tube tester? The tester should have come with a booklet with the tube ###'s and settings for the tester. If it didn't, you may have to search for one!Best,Paul :-) | |

System is:Levinson ML-3 ampAdcom GFP-750Cal Audio Icon MKII CDa/d/s L1290 speakersNothing special in interconnect or speaker wires, yet this thing is quite musical. I've bee... | |
| Suggestions for Tube CD with 6922's under $1500 How about a BAT VKD5 ?You may possibly get one for a tad more than your $1500 price point. I had this player for quite a while and it was very easy to live with.Best,Paul :-) | |
| Martin logan vs. B&W You are comparing apples to oranges. The Logans are a hybrid planar and the B&W are cones. What are your musical preferences? This would help.If you like "slam" in vocals and instruments, the B&W's would be the obvious choice. If you are a... |
