| Help with new speakers Totems have very nice midrange. | |
| Under 1k integrated recomendations The Audio Refinement keeps coming up and that is a very nice unit. Might also look at the Luxman 491 hybrid with tube preamp and solid state amp. 90 wpc. Some coming through Canada. Hawthorne Stereo in Seattle brings them in and places them on Eba... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers The NHT SupeZeros are great as they are non-ported and really do fit on a bookshelf. | |
| Acoustic Energy and Totem Johnny, I've owned Acoustic Energy and auditioned Totem extensively. There are no mistakes to be made, only choices. Both are fairly revealing, especially the Totems, so you will need a decent front end or the flaws will be revealed. I would recom... | |
| Help me find this sound KP,This is a strange mixture. The music bank as a transport is on the weak side, but if you must you must. Never have liked Adcom preamps and am not familiar Spectron amps. The Analysis Plus I use and love, so do many audiophile friends with bigge... | |
| Int amp help Audio Refinement is oft the champ in the $1,000 new price range. | |

| GRASS ANYONE? David99,The past 7 years have seen 'Bluegrass' move far from its centrist roots and adventure into all sorts of genre. 'String Cheese Incident' is probably the most bastard child of all with electric mandolin complete with distortion pedal. They r... | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog Waxcylinder, Make it easy on yourself. Find a used Rega for around $600, add a Grado cartridge for $100. Great learner table and quite respectable. | |

| Best Speaker cables on the cheap? Audioquest type 4 is very decent in that price range. I feel better than the Kimber. | |
| Most "Musical" speakers Sunnyjim,I believe the most musical speaker is one that is forgotten. You suddenly realize you are listening to the artist and the speaker has disappeared. Reference 3A DeCapos do this. | |
| If You Could Only Keep 3-CD's LP's , Which Ones? Ry Cooder's JAZZ, Copland "The Music of America" Eric Kunzel and the Cincinnati, Bill Evans "Live at the Village Vangaurd". | |
| Recommend location and type for kitchen speakers Swampwalker,What about the little Acoustic Energy AEGOS 2 with the ever so tiny sats and smaller sub. I believe you can now run 4 or 5 sats off of it. It's a sweet little system. | |
| Girl diagnoses & solves mechanical problem Sarah,I'm threatened and emasculated. No really, congrats. I smile as my fiancee' develops her ear and sometimes says "why does that sound so wrong"? Actually, I'm somewhat interested in the Triumphs. Are they the UHS, the newest incarnation? I fo... |
