Cary SLP98 Tube Question
I have a very similar setup...the F1 SLP98-P with Krell amps and N802 speakers.A couple of months ago, I sprang for some RCA Clear Tops, also changed out my 12au7s and ax7s.My CD player is the 303/300, so the synergy is there...but I have had exce... 
B&W 805 with MK-350thx sub, or B&W 802
I have both...in two different systems.The N802s are in an integrated HT/music system with a monstrous SVS twin 12" Ultra sub. It is mainly for impact in movies but awesome High rez is a byproduct of this match.The N805s are in an all tube system ... 
Most musical S.S. Amp under 2k used ?
I run a Krell KAV-250A/3 and Krell FPB-400.My speakers are B&W Nautilus 802 front, HTM-1 center, and 805s in the rear.Before the 400, I had the 250A/3 on the fronts...sounds exceptional. The impact of the Krell is awesome. I have tubes in the ...

Reliability of Cary Audio Products
Krellm7...Have YOU looked inside a Cary?I just purchased the 303/300 (3 months ago) after owning the /200, both trouble free...obviously the /300 is an infant.The inside of both chasises is a work of art, beautifully laid out...it looks as though ... 
good amp for b&w N802
On the cheap?I've been powering my 802s/HTM-1 with a pair of Krell KAV 250A/3s. I bi-amp each of the 3 speakers and the sound is phenomenal. $4-$4.5k on the used market and built like tanks. I'd love to jump up to an FPB or Pass X350, but the soun...

Dpippel..."Again I think a lot of what people might think is MB is actually just bad authoring, but this is not always the case. I use the PT arrives scene from A Bug's Life. It is clearly visible on my display when a player suffers from the probl... 
Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions?
"I don't know how you can say I, am wrong, as I have not tried the 3910, but plan to."My point is you MUST try the deck before coming to the conclusion that the issues are there."For being a new model, there are far too many complaints on the 3910... 
Denon 3910 Universal Player - Opinions?
Greg,No disrespect intended, but you are wrong about the issues on the 3910. I have owned the 2800, 2800MKII, 2900, and now the 3910. I've also had the 5900 in my system for a week for observation.Macro-blocking is display dependent, period. Most ... 
Rega P25 question
It's incredible. I also have a P88 and a Dyn 20x.I prefer both of my Garrot carts to the Dynavector.The Garrott is a perfect match for the P25 and the RB600. No arm adjustment/spacers necessary.The sound of my P77 is very quiet with excellent mids... 
Denon DVD2900 Vs Marantz Dv8400.
Panasonic plasma? Better picture than a Runco 700?Plasma isn't quite there yet, certainly not to the extent of Runco FP, IMO. I suppose it is all subjective, but you and your 3 friends are the first I've heard come to this conclusion.Cool 
Denon DVD2900 Vs Marantz Dv8400.
Interesting...Keep us up to date on the mods. 
Denon DVD2900 Vs Marantz Dv8400.
LOL...You are WRONG about the comparison on the video front, completely WRONG!!!! The 999 is a decent machine, but still suffers from the Chroma upsampling error, lacks a memory buffering system, and the picture is softer than the 2900. The 999ES ...
