| Speakers for Mac 501's ? I find that Macs and B&W Speakers work well together. | |
| In pursuit of the golden ear. I don't really think of it as having a "Golden Ear." About two years ago my system, which I got in 1987, became less and less satisfying. I started a search for a system that "scratched my itch." Some of the first systems I listened to seemed dull... | |
| your most memorable component Linn Universal 1.1 player. Gave my CDs incredibly more detail, clarity, and air. A great piece of equipment. | |
| DVD Help I rent DVD's and have had this problem from time to time with rented discs. About a month ago I came across some recommendations for the Aleratec DVD/CD Disc Repair Plus Kit in USA Today. I got one a couple of weeks ago from Amazon.com for about $... | |
| B&W Nautilus 800N . Best amp & preamp setup ? After auditioning a few amps and pre-amps, I ended up the McIntosh C46 pre-amp and the MC402 power amp for my system. After a year and a half I am still very pleased with my choice. Another important factor is the music source. When I used my old ... | |
| Cantus by Stereophile nice? I have two CDs by Cantus: "Let Your Voice Be Heard," 19 tracks of an international reportoire, and "Comfort and Joy," 16 tracks with a Christmas theme. I really like both of these albums. The performances and sound quality are outstanding. Highly ... | |
| B&W 703 - How to tame the highs? About six months ago I got some B & W Nautilus 800s through an Audiogon seller. The seller was using an old Mark Levinson 333.5. The highs were way too piercing for my taste. I contacted a local seller, who recommend a high-end Candian amplifi... | |
| Levinson 383 a good match for B&W 803D's I'd be careful. I heard some B & W Nautilus 800's powered by a Mark Levinson 333.5. The sound was way too bright for my tastes. I ended up with McIntosh amplification. In your posting you're talking about different model of speakers and a diff... | |
| Which is the best solid state poweramp under $9000 I am driving a pair of B & W Nautilus 800s with a McIntosh MC 402. It sounds wonderful. It's hard to imagine there's anything out there that could make B & W speakers sound significantly better. According to the blue meters, I am operating... | |
| where can I get an analog to digital transfer I went to Google and typed in "transfer lps to CDs." I got hundreds of listings. I then typed in "Vinyl Restoration." Got hundreds of more listings. Checked out a few of the sites. They looked professional and promising. | |
| Help me with a major amp upgrade... I recentley got a McIntosh C46 Pre-amp and a McIntosh 402 Power amp. I started checking them out after reading Absolute Sound's outstanding reviews. To me they sound absolutely wonderful, at least when paired with B & W Nautilus 800s. | |

| pop and click filters I went to Google and typed "Packburn." There are quite a few sites dealing with noise reduction devices. Might be worth some of your time. | |
| pop and click filters Yes such devices have been manufactured. Back in the 1970s a company named Burwen put out two units, one for tape hiss, and one for clicks and pops. In the 1980s and 1990s a company named Packburn in Dewitt, NY (near Syracuse) put out the Packburn... | |
| Wilson Audio, Talon, Rockport and B&W For the last two years I have been trying to put together a dream system to take me into my "Golden Years." All four speakers you list have an excellent reputation. Of those you list I had the opportunity to hear the B & W Signature 800 and th... |
