| Best CD sound from a DVD player McIntosh has a nice CD/DVD player if you have a dealer nearby. | |

| Any opinions on NAD quality? Volume pot problems are most common complaint I've heard. This can be noise all the time or just when changing the volume level. Think I heard about one channel going dead also. | |
| Joseph Audio Speakers never show up used Artmaltman, you could be right about the Classe. I have since listened to Revel M-20 with Classe and then Revel F30 and F50 in another store. Similar ringing and harmonically wrong sound as I heard with the Josephs.So it could be at least partiall... | |
| FM Antenna placement, wiring As a follow up. The $35.00 PR-6000 Winegard antennae has been working better than the Fanfare FMG even though the Winegard is in the attic. I used the Radio Shack quad shield gold cable and noticed the Fanfare has really thin (single shield) cable... | |
| Amp upgrade +or- 1,000 Try LFD Mistral or Musical Fidelity A3 amp. Both a little rounded out but musical and pretty even frequency response. | |
| Need component recommendations for 1,000 system? B&W 303's ($300)are good but I would suggest at least comparing them to the B&W 601 series 3 ($450) and decide if the improvment is worth the money. | |
| Wire vs. Vibration vs. Power Cond. is best? I was meaning, not having any vibration control, and power conditioner, and cheap cables. I was just thinking in general with a typical hi-end system, were would money be best spent.Maybe can't make generalizations but I was thinking maybe a power... | |
| Why low sensitivity speakers? Thanks Karls, I will give this some thought. Zaikesman, the PSB were running on a Yamaha receiver/ Sony CDP. This was a store demo. Same music as the B&W.I have the B&W in a different set-up and to the best I can say, the sound is not as c... | |
| To DAC or not to DAC? Found the link:don't dac | |
| To DAC or not to DAC? EVS modified SACD players:I quote:"What?! no millenium DAC? What gives?We have found that a player with super mods will beat most any DAC"They modify Sony C333ES and C555ES, I think. But no more EVS Millenium DACs if I got the story straight. | |
| Why low sensitivity speakers? Karls, I learned a lot from your post. Could you explain something I have heard.Listening to PSB Image 4T with plastic drivers, I was immediately disappointed to hear how much cleaner the sound was than B&W kevlar. But B&W's sales pitch is... | |
| Non fatigueing speaker under 1500 Dr_joe, interesting point. I read a pro-audio magazine review on B&W 602's. They thought they were great as a monitor being flat, accurate and all that. However, they had two complaints:1) Lack of bass control - passive speakers can't compete ... | |
| Enacoms for bright speakers? Thanks, Davehrab. I don't have the Thiels but for my taste, always liked them except for the brightness. Just no good with Naim, Krell, or even, most recently with McIntosh/Arcam system. So between so many auditions, I don't think it's RFI etc.May... |
