| Can we have an "Ask Sean" catagory? I appreciate Sean's common sense look at audio. It cuts through a lot of the hype of most reviews. Makes a lot of manufacturers look stupid but hey, that's half the fun (I'm kidding). Can I really ask questions here?Well I've been wondering for ov... | |

| No Wires..... Ever Wifey Dearest Audio Riddle Naim recommends a Wiremold L10320 9 outlet power strip. No switches, fuses, etc. It has a grey aluminum case. I bought one from Electrical Wholesalers, a national chain, for about $35.00. It worked good but I wanted a surge protector so got a Trip... | |

| speaker suggestions for modest arcam alpha system Avguygeorge here's adding to the minisystem speaker confusion:ELF 1.5For $125 hard to go wrong. They sound natural. | |

| speaker suggestions for modest arcam alpha system Ascend Acoustics CBM-170 are $328 direct from Ascend. This includes shipping. They would cost $1,000+ if sold at a dealer and in a nice wood veneer. The sound is neither low-end or modest. Worthy competition to the B&W speakers. Their only fau... | |
| Best Integrated for under $1000 Exertfluffer, The A300 retailed for $1,500 new. Sells used at A-gon for $1,000. Sound is tubelike. May have more bass than the cr series as it seems the choke may restrict current flow as well as cleaning it up. | |
| Rotel vs Musical Fidelity Just get a used Musical Fidelity A300 150 wpc integrated for $1,000 and forget the whole pre amp issue. Another option is the Adcom GFP-750 for ~$750.00 used. I would not buy the Rotel pre, maybe M-F pre. | |
| Amp On or Off? I use a Tripp-Lite surge protector. This, I hope, reduces in-rush current damage when amp is first turned on. For class A/B avoiding in-rush current seems to be the main reason to leave on all the time. | |
| Best Used Solid State Amp for less than $5000? Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista 300. | |
| Best Integrated for 400 dollars Musical Fidelity 75 wpc X-A2 is more powerful than Creek. Sold for $700.00 new. Thus would be near the top of my list if you can find one. They usually sell in a couple of days. What Hi-Fi compared it to ~$1,600 X-A1000 and said it was BETTER.It i... | |
| Best Integrated for 400 dollars Arcam and Creek are way better than Cambridge and Denon. Creek is more lively like Naim. Arcam more button down sound. I thought uninvolving. But Creek does not have much power despite what the ads say. | |
| Why was Audiogon started? Buscis2, thanks for the invite, CA is a great place. No more snow, cold, and 2 months of decent weather, hmmmmmm, I feel your pain :-). | |
| I have a confession to make This reminds me of my friend who worked in Saudi in the 80's. If I got the story straight, every citizen was given $45,000/year they suddenly got so much money from the oil. The old timer, driving his new Cadillac said he could go back to living i... |
