| Sony SCD-1 vs. SCD-777ES Those of you who own either of these; I curious to know how satisfied you are with the music options available in the SACD format? ROI? | |
| Chair or Sofa? Which do you use? Sonically, I don't think it makes much difference. Sitting exactly in the sweet spot typically does. This is especially true (and rewarding) with narrowly focused speakers such as the Dunlavys. | |
| Audio Magic vs PS audio I have used the Stealth unit now for about a year withterrific results. I have not had any exposure to the PSAudio units, but can make a comparison to the RichardGrey unit. The Stealth is better by a fair margin, yet Ihave to say that the Power Co... | |
| ARC LS-5 vs SP-10/11 for Plinius SA-102 ARC LS-5 II is one of the most musical of all preampson the market. It can also be upgraded to reference standard through the Great American Sound Company. | |
| What song says something about you? Amazing Grace! | |
| Tube dampers? The Halo dampers are most definitely effective and I use them about 75% up with ARC dampers about 25% up. I also have used the Mapleshade brass dampers with good sonic results, but also lost several tubes due to overheating. I finally had to retur... | |
| Martin Logan - wow Snap-Blurr! I've never heard electrostatics not soundmarvelous the first 20 minutes and seriously lacking thereafter. It's hard to believe that serious audiophiles will spend $$$$$ without a fairly lengthy audition to seeif the speakers are going ... | |

| Best CD Player for under $5,000 The Audio Research CD-3 is the best unit at this pricepoint for Redbook CDs. | |
| Let's forget about being politically correct The solid state amp issue really is best debated with thespeakers to be driven in mind. I have the Dunlavy SC-Vs thatlove and require a high current design amp to get the maximum potential for bass. In fact, I use two SS amps vertically biamped wh... | |
| Equipment racks: Symposium/Mapleshade Mapleshade gives a whole lot of performance for the dollar.The word is getting out which has caused quite a backlog.It is, however, well worth the wait. | |
| Review: Great Northern Sound Co. Wadia 860 CD Player I have an all Audio Research system, all of which (with theexception of the CD-2) have been modified by Steve. The results (which has taken some patience) have been dramatic.I truly believe that it is possible to turn a good systeminto a great one... | |
| AudioPrism CD Stoplight & Auric illuminator work? I have had quite a lot of experience with the CD Stoplight.It's what I would call a 'trade-off' tweek. That is it improves some areas to the detriment of others. I suppose Ihave tried most of the tweeks out there and have found theMapleshade items... | |
