Cary 303-300
This is an excellent unit. We are a dealer, and have a 303/300 on display playing direct through a Rocket88. At first, the tubed output was anemic and thin, but over time it has opened up dramatically, and played through that great tube amp. As fa... 
rotel 1066 vs 1068
IMO, the 1068 is the better performer all round. I have a RMB 1075 right now but am using a Harman Kardon AVR 430 as my pre-pro, which images horribly and unstably, and simply is NOT anywhere in the same ballpark. It was cheap, and I'm a student, ... 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
1) 1998 Land Rover Discovery LSE, purchased used, and lifted and armored for off-road use. I hate the gas mileage and am about to sell it2) Very soon, a new Honda Element. THeyre so ugly theyre cute, and are amazingly versatile3) God. Ferrari Enzo... 
DAC's for the money?
OK. The other DAC's listed are, as stated, a hair out of my price range. I will definately consider the Glass FO cable, as it is reasonably priced. I'm very interested in the modification process, what is involved and what are the costs associate... 
DAC's for the money?
Thanks guys!Steve N: Where and how and exactly what should I do to get my player modded as described? I assume you mean the Pioneer. I have also heard great things about the Birdland, but right now it's just a few hairs above my price range.I do t... 
Best DVD player for the money?
The optical outputs are crap anyway. Get soemthing with coax! If ya want a good player for your price range, I would tend to agree with my associates here - Toshiba, Denon, Pioneer Elite (used) are all good choices for you. I would suggest that if... 
Best DVD player for the money?
Not sure what ya want to blow on a player, but when I was searching for a great performing DVD player, with the extra added benefit of playing SACD's and DVD-A's (though not spectacular, much better than the CIrcuit CIty equivalent,) I ran across ... 
Rotel RMB vs. Sunfire Cinema Grand
IN reference to the THeta - I want nothing more than a THeta system. I have auditioned the whole lot, from the Miles and DaViD players, the Gen VIII DAC, the Casablanca Pre/Pro, and the Dreadnaught I and Citadel Monoblocks. If any of the Theta amp... 
Rotel RMB vs. Sunfire Cinema Grand

Rotel RMB vs. Sunfire Cinema Grand
Sean - From what I've heard, I have absolutely no doubt that, due to the voltage & current source connections on the Sunfires, they are smoother than the Rotels. My audition this evening of the Rotel RMB 1075, driving B&W 704s, yielded a ... 
Rotel RMB vs. Sunfire Cinema Grand
WEll, My cable selection has always tended to the warmer/darker side of things, as has my selection of the particular Infinities I purchased. I am using speaker cables from MIT and Transparent, with great results, and if the Rotel happens to be a ... 
So, again, a question concerning amps.
Well.. Been away from my computer all weekend. I apologize. Well, as far as the "peerless performance," that is, of course, relative! I just want the best I can find for the cash. I know the h/k is pretty weak as far as processing goes, but she ... 
So, again, a question concerning amps.
I have been hearing and reading good things about McCormack and Bryston. I have also looked into Acurus amps as well. As I am relatively inexperienced, how much of a difference would say, that particular McCormack make over my little Mistubishi 75... 
Sunfire amps
Hi guys, I'm currently in the process of shopping for a big-ass solid state amp, preferably for five channels. I have Infinity Kappa 600s front L/R, Kappa 400s rear L/R, and an older Infinity Entra Center. THe center is soon going to be replaced ... 
Any suggestions for in-wall cabling?
That seems a fair assesment. Thanks. I do think that the "good, better, best" scenario is also quite relative - and usually quite a personal thing. Most folks here know more that I and have far more experience...thus my asking about what I can do ...
