| Preamps in general No one mentioned Sunfire. How does it compare to those mentioned above, and to Meridian's 500 series pre/pros. I had a Sunfire Theatre Grand II in my system for about a month, and was very impressed with the processor, and analogue pass through. I... | |
| Best Web site for Audio. Albert, I too must thank you for the Allmusic site. I've searched hours, days, who knows how long for such information and such a site. And thank you, Clueless, for starting this post. | |
| Which AV processors have an analog pass-thru? Sunfire's Theater Grand 2 does, and it is, surprisingly good for the price. More tube-like and musical than most | |
| VMPS RM-40 - Anyone Heard I heard the RM-40 at CES. I'd never heard or seen any VMPS speakers before. The cabinetry was fine, though not the equal of JMLabs or Wilson for beauty. But the sound was there. I like to hear the detail in the music and expect great dynamics, sou... | |
| vmps, art d/io, & boldercables.com To Rcrump: I heard your preamp in the VMPS room and in your room at CES. I'm glad to hear you say the amps and speakers in your room were green, because that is how they sounded to me. Your preamp is transparent though. How much of the Blowtorch d... | |
| Speaker recommendations for 2,500 or less? Listen to RBH 1044 SE. Then sound like a $5K pair. Really.http://www.rbhsound.com/inroom/signature/1044.htm | |
| Which budget turntable will provide me the best service? Psychicanimal has it about nailed. Technics quart locked direct drive turntables are a good bargin. The SL-1800 MK II is a cosmetically more pleasing SL-1200 MK II, the latter really was intended for DJs. They made it so essentially by making the ... | |
| Sunfire Theater Grand ll Sorry. Previous post should begin: "I lived with . . ." | |
| Sunfire Theater Grand ll I liked with the TG II for nearly a month and used it mostly for 2 channel. I was pleasantly surprised with the phono section. I use an Oracle Premier IV special edition table with an SME 3009 arm and Ortofon 5000 MC cartridge with a transformer s... | |
| Best DVD Player for around US 2,000 Denon DVD 5000. It's discontinued now. You should be able to find it used for $1200 to $1400. It upsamples some CD audio -- read the reviews, has HDCD, is extremely heavy and vibration free, and generates a great artifact picture. | |
| RBH SPEAKERS I've been impressed with RBH speakers, which stands for Roger B. Hassing, the designer. I've heard several of the speakers in their line found them to image well with good dynamic response and inner detail. I haven't heard their Status line which ... | |
| Anyone audition the Martin Logan Prodigy? I've heard them several times. Once with the new Krell mono blocks. The bass blends better to the panel than on the ReQuest, but still plays catch-up to the panel. Clear mid of course. Many speakes are more dynamic than electrostats. Let me know i... | |
| Most Honest Audio Magazine? I vote for Bound for Sound. | |
| Talon Loudspeakers Mike@Talonaudio.com: I'll look forward to hearing the Khorus again in November, perhaps even after I get COMDEX behind me. And if, you want, I can report my view here. Stay tuned. | |
| Talon Loudspeakers Trelja: Which Concident speaker did you buy? I love their interconnects. I'd really like to hear the Mellenium, Total Eclipse and Super Eclipse. I'm surprised you didn't have anything good to say for the Legacy Whisper. What kind of electronics ba... |
