| True Fully Balanced Amplifiers Musical Fidelity uses dual-mono construction. I asked them if they planned to offer a balanced amp. They told me the sonic improvement, if any, was not worth the money it would cost. This was based on listening tests.Maybe the dual mono design is ... | |
| What bugs you most about sound quality? Lack of bass and too bright highs. Although I think newer recordings are getting better in this respect.Also a lot of rock/pop recordings seem to be filled with NOISE. I don't know if this is some grunge carry over but I used to love Rush. Their l... | |
| Am i missing some good and lifelike speakers ?tks Try Focus Audio. They are very similar to electrostatics in coherency and natural sound. Reviews at www.ecoustics.com | |
| Revel vs. Aerial vs. B&W But what about flat women?????? That's the more interesting question. | |
| Revel vs. Aerial vs. B&W Ritteri "and are perfectly flat". Yea like some girls I know. How boring.(Just teasing R-man) | |
| Where can I find threaded brass rod for equip rack Home Depot or hardware store? Plumbing supply store. Any industrial supply company.If all that fails then try:mcmastercarr | |
| New Damper material Forget the music! It's a good way to tenderize the meat. Just put on some rap or organ music for an hour and meat will be tender and delicious. | |
| Has anyone heard Ascend Acoustics CBM-170 Montiors CBM-170 are a rare case where they really do live up to the hype on the internet. If they suit your taste. They are not romantic, warm, "musical" speakers like JM Reynaud, Aerial Acoustics, or Sonus Faber Cremonas. I like clarity but they were a b... | |
| Low-Fi Experience Satch, I had the same experience. "Hi-Fi Choice", I think, used the $300.00 Denon UD-M31 CD receiver on Wilson Sophias. "People walked away shaking their heads thinking they were listening to $10,000 of McIntosh tube gear".As Aerosmith would say "... | |

| Pre and Amp suggestions for B&W Nautilus 804? My Musical Fidelity A3.2 is warmer than Pass and Sim integrated (though I've heard the separates are warmer) and to my ears better than Classe.I use Audioquest Granite which is 60% off from Audio Advisor. This warms up the bass and relaxes the hig... | |
| Pre and Amp suggestions for B&W Nautilus 804? My Musical Fidelity A3.2 is warmer than Pass and Sim integrated (though I've heard the separates are warmer) and to my ears better than Classe.Rowland and bi-amped Electrocompaniet are two other great options but much more espensive. | |
| Driver suggestions for DIY project I agree with elevick to at least consider Jordan. You can get Jordan or Tang-Band from creative soundThis site also lists DIY with Jordan drivers. I use Tang-Band W3-871S and it's very nice. | |
| Build A Used/Kit Flea Watt SET System For SET amps, Atmasphere and Wyetech have been the best to my ears. These go for about $8,000-$10,000. I would not recommend any single driver speaker that uses a "whizzer cone" as you will lose the time/phase coherency of a true single driver. Vo... | |
| Can speakers be too good? I thought Audio Physic Virgo 3's sounded excellent with the 3.2 integrated. Better than Sim's integrated. Made me think about getting rid of my B&W.I would stay away from ATC because the 3.2 will not have enough power. Same goes for Revel M20. |
