| cal cl 2500 vs ead ovation plus The California Audio Labs SSP-2500 is the best sounding processor on the market right now in my opinion. Widescreen Review did a review of it and concluded that it was the best sounding processor that they had ever heard. It is extremely clean on ... | |
| Preamp/Processor indecision! The California Audio Labs SSP-2500 is probabely the best sounding hometheater preamp on the market. I compared it to almost all processor before buying it. Dick Hardesty of Widescreen Review said it betters ever unit that he has heard by substanti... | |
| Amp to drive PSB Goldi ?? Tm12, I do not like the hassle of tubes and own the PSB Gold I speakers. I love the tube sound but would pose the opposite question, who would want to be limited by an amplifier as to what speakers one could chose? Once I owned a Japanese reciever... | |
| Toslink VS. Coax For Transport to DAC You are going to have to experiment. Some manufactors provide better optical connections than others with some neglecting the toslink because the coax is more common. I observed exactly what you have read though in my system with the Toslink being... | |
| $2500 in speaker Questions In my opinion the PSB stratus Golds are superior to the KEF speakers you mention. I have compared both speakers in with the exact same electronics but in different rooms. The Martin Logans are certainly a worth while consideration. I would suggest... | |
| DBT: Audio Industry's "Mortal Enemy?" No, having done quite a bit of research in the field of psychology I can tell you that the majority of research is not double blind, at least in my field. I am kind of amused when some of the guys take it as the only method of experimentation. Pla... | |
| Hospital Grade Wall Outlets You wire them the same as a regular outlet. A grounded outlet should have 3 wires. The bottom screw on the outlet should be the 3 rd wire. | |
| is there an alternative to PS AUDIO I recently read an article in Stereophile Guide to Hometheater and the reviewers seems to be of the opinion that the PS audio unit is better than the Monster 5000 but not by much. I was surprised. I have not heard either and can not make a recomme... | |
| Speakers with Rotel amp I use PSB Stratus Golds they shine on classical music. I mainly listen to jazz but I can tell what these speakers were designed to play. Audition them they can be had for around 1900.00 new if you know where to look, ask me, I know where, or used ... | |
| Am I heading in the right direction? Some of the best speakers made are not thx certified. B&W was making excellent speakers before there was even such a spec. For the most part you can ignore it, but it does have it's uses. For example I purchased a hi-end surround processor tha... | |
| Inteligent high end cableing I probabely will be alone in this recommendation and have not tried ultra-expensive cable. However I have tried a few costing up to 100.00 a foot. My favorite is very low in price compared to some of the Audioquest and Kimber cable wire that I hav... | |
| Amplifier suggestions I meant my dealer drives the B&Ws with an 8008. Also the power output into 4 ohms which I think your speakers is 400watts a channel. Your Aerials will be no problem. | |
| Amplifier suggestions I am using Aragon amplifiers. My dealer has many amps but choses to drive B&W 801 with an Aragon 6008. I think they are excellent amplifiers. No problem with the bass. To my ears, Krell amplifiers are slightly more refined than Aragon, but at ... | |
| LEXICON MC-1 VERSUS MERIDIAN 861 The Cal Audio Labs unit has gotten better and better with break-in. I have my cake and am eating it too, love the unit. Great,though not as good as the very best, two channel performance. But certainly, certainly, performance on two channel that i... | |
| Inexpensive SACD Likely the fall before US lauch, but you can be sure it will be here before the Christmas season. But Sony say no offical date yet for lauch from what I have read. It almost August so that no far away. |
