Do I have to buy all new CDs?
I just wanted to add that it is a complete waste to buy cds based solely on the label. That will not give you long term enjoyment. Buy the music that you like. 
Do I have to buy all new CDs?
I have a different opinion about this. I beleive that if your system is well balanced, with matched components that are not in and of themselves harsh, bright or aggressive, most cds will sound good to very good. I am not speaking of only very exp... 
best amp
Good idead to wait until you decide on your speakers, but I wanted to add that in my opinion, The Classe 401 is a great deal better than two Aragons. It uses technology from the Omega and would be a great choice. If you are willing to spend that m... 
Sim Audio vs. Plinius Need Advice?
Rick. I think they are the two best integrateds in their price range. I have Meadowlark Heron i speakers. The Plinius is amazing with them. It is about as good as I have ever heard. I have heard the less expensive Meadowlark Kestrels with the Sim ... 
proac 2.5, heron i,or virgos
I just bought Heron i speakers. I was lucky enough to hear them at home with a Classe Ca 151. The combination was great, and I am looking for a good deal on a Classe 201. I can tell you for sure that the Meadowlarks are great speakers. They do eve... 
Power for Audio Physics Virgo speakers
I have heard the Virgos with Bel Canto tubes, I don't remember the model. It was amazing. I could not believe the pinpoint placement of sound in space. I have never heard anything like that before. If you want, I could give you the dealer info. He... 
PS Audio or Richard Grey power Co.
I remember reading a great review of the P300. There were however two things that you might want to consider. The review stated that your electric bill will take a big hit and also that it is meant for amps up to 200wpc. He stated that they will h...

bell canto evo200.0 and 4 ohm speakers ?
I just wanted to add that some of the reviewers are using the Evo bridged in a biamp setup. I am not sure though if that really makes a difference. I did biamp my Aerials with two Classe CA151s, and still lacked punch and dynamics.

Hello Samski, Speak to Jonathan Goldman. He is a dealer who will let you demo equiptment and give you a good price on the Evo. 1 888 561 4935. I had the Aerial 6s, and loved them. I drove them with a Krell 150 watt integrated and then a Classe 150... 
Joseph Audio RM 30 or Meadowlark Heron I
I bought the new Herons this week. I am very happy. They are the first speaker I can see living with for a long time. They are so smooth, and the base is great. I have them in a small to medium room, and am able to tune them so the the base is jus... 
Best and Worst customer service?
I recently bought two used Classe power amps. I have been on the phone with Classe a number of times for various reasons. Without a doubt, I have received the best service of all time. I am amazed at their consideration, honesty and generosity of ... 
Power Conditioner or Power Strip
A power strip does not protect gear from power surges as Aardvark states in his post. It has no surge protection. If it did, then it might as he states degrade the sound. I do not believe that any of the above mentioned "strips" have surge protect... 
Power Conditioner or Power Strip
Wow Hungryear. What nonsense. Because something does not work for you, in your system, with your specific ac conditions, if indeed you really tried it for an extended time, it's not a high end product. It is one thing to say that you found it to b... 
Joseph Audio RM 30 or Meadowlark Heron I
The Meadowlark is a much better choice. More natural, coherent and smoother. The Josephs will give a lot of detail, but not nearly the long term enjoyment.
