| best CD player new or used for $1200 Am listening to Mark Knopfler on my Marantz CD6005 as we speak, and it sounds damn good. Just got it 2 days ago ($500) and am super impressed smooth, engaging, and balanced thru my FirstWatt/Quicksilver set up. I'd check it out before putting down... | |
| Gov't Mule last night....much better than stereo Yep, Govt Mule is killer live, and I agree their discs don't do them justice (it's all in the BASS)! | |
| Amp Suggestion for Harbeth C7es3 My experience with the MiniMites on my Spendor SP2/3s (an easier load than your Harbeths) was not enough headroom. They reached a ceiling fairly quickly where they became compressed. With my 90db Fried A/3s, they were a bit more friendly, however.... | |
| Excessive sibilance and edge....treat room? My experience has been if you want to achieve natural tonal balance from the mids and up, it HAS to be inherent to your speaker's sound, not a by-product of your room. Do this: sit 4 ft directly in from of your speaker and listen to vocals from a ... | |
| Speakers that turn your analytical mind off? Spendor SP1/2s of course with the right front end. | |
| Your favourite recording label? I agree with Concord. Every Concord recording in my collection is just superb in every way. | |
| Speaker cables to smoothen things up Cables won't do it because they cannot overcome the fundamental sound that your components' circuits have. Sound lies in circuit and speaker design, not cables. | |

| Jolida JD102CRC Yep, your NAD amp is superb. I actually preferred my little NAD 25 watter to the 102B that I had for a short while. I'd pick up a used Quicksilver line stage for anywhere from $600-750 (depending on age and remote) to feed your NAD. They come in e... | |
| Speaker cable for Nad 7050 and KEF LS50 Use what you've been using. | |
| Regenerator, Balanced Power, or Power Cleaner? I have an APC S10, and it is among the best audio purchases I've ever made. My entire system is plugged into it, it is absolutely quiet, and it works reliably and exactly as advertised. I happen to have a First Watt M2, and the APC "saves" it and ... | |
| Bybee Internal Speaker Bullets - user feedback? Perhaps I am being a bit outspoken, but I really feel that the AG community has a responsibility to call Bybee products (and all of those who make similar claims) by their proper name: junk. It simply confounds me that so many of us are just so ve... | |
| FYI Pink Floyd IMO, Division Bell is a great album if one hears it on a system that can do it justice. Yes, it's a bit personal for Gilmour, but the playing, musical creativity, and sonics are beyond superb, just like any product that Gilmour has a hand in. | |
| Top 3 Most Overrated Artists contest in R&R. Oh, you are actually serious! I am not a churchgoing man, but I will pray for you, as anyone who speaks poorly about The Rolling Stones is certainly troubled and not of sound musical taste. Fellow Audiogoners, may we all bow our heads at this time... | |
