| NaimNait 5.1A vs, Music Fidelity A3.2 Can you describe what you find lacking on your spectral set up? As Jay stated, Spectral separates are very different beasts then Naim integrateds. But then, may be you are simply curious about the Prat that Naim supposedly tauts. | |
| Question for First Sound Owners Find some dealers and make an appointment to have an audition with them. Take your preamp and see what goes and what does not. That is the only way you can find synergy.Slipknot, I have heard from many people who have had the same FS combo, with a... | |
| Question for First Sound Owners I own a First Sound Paramount MKII Hotrod. It sound awesome with pretty much anything that I have had paired with it. In the latest inineration, I have it paired with a McCormack DNA 225. It sound incredibly fast, pacy and powerful.Other amps I ha... | |
| Good preamp for Vandersteen and McCormack oops. The FS Paramount is way much more. First Sound Presence MKI, Deluxe MKI for around 1k+ | |

| Best system for jazz? Horns and single fullrange based driver speakers, with low power tubes or flat out low power, high quality class A amplifiers. Jazz, reproduced with technology existant in the time of its heyday is the most accurate and exciting sound you will eve... | |
| Best preamp w/Tuner for McCmk DNA-500? Maybe Steve was kind with his assessment of your need of a tuner, but I need to point something, the DNA 500 is a world class amp and needing to compromise a source and line amplification, will simply steal from its real potential.Sunfire preampli... | |
| JJ243 Pre-Amp - impressions please First Sound Presence Deluxe MKI, around 1.5K. Much better choice, well reviewed and with world class service from Emmanuel. Hard to find a MKI though.MK II, around 2.5K used. | |
| Sugden a21 question.... I second JeffJarvis. Although specs would indicate otherwise, sometimes the amp design is key to driving a pair of speakers properly. Real life example: a pair of X-1 and SW-1 two way monitors and their passive 10" woofer tower stands. They are su... | |
| Integraded Amp The best is to get a new or used Beringer DSP parametric computerized equalizer that goes for about $300-350 new and about $250 used. Try it via the loop and see how you like it. It is often that we try to pursue the undescribable just to later fi... | |
| Integraded Amp Gellis, why not get a parametric equalizer through the tape loop of your integrated, if there is one and save $$$$? The probability of looking sound quality is higher in your case than improving in the sound quality. Pathos Logos is a very high qu... | |
| Integraded Amp Talking about tone controls...Speedball, I have yet to use a tone control since 1987, when I switched everything to a tone controlless preamplifier. Sumo Athena I. To be honest, I do not miss them. I think when in comes to true sound, tone control... | |
| jbl100-t versus jbl100-t3 The t3 I believe had a special compound to treat the woofers, I think they called it Aquaplas? It was supposed to have been researched at Nasa, but, then, who knows what are its properties and real effects in sound. The drivers must be different. ... | |
| Epos cabinet sensitivity Dang, it took almost 1.5 years to get this done and the speakers are still defective. Do not want to sound sarcastic, but I am not surprised. Some products are made for a price point and there is only so much that can be done with it. Epos' manufa... | |
| Channel Islands D-100 Amplifier If you feel that your speakers are neutral and that the amp also is classified or perceived as neutral, there might be a potential for trouble. Nevertheless, Neutral+Neutral does not have to equal ultra neutral or sterile. I have read a review of ... |
