| Furman Elite -15i linear filtering AC power source I run one and find it to be fantastic. Didn't want to spend the money, wanted it to fail. Listened for a week and was hooked. System is more dynamic, blacker background. I hate it when technology works and costs me money!!! | |
| Audiophile Record Labels Nobody mentioned MA recordings. | |
| really bright sounding speaker cables Chord. | |
| budget digital interconnect Signal Cable listed for $25 right now on the 'gon. | |
| Speaker help....? If you run monitors, then you will need to also move stands, probably massed stands. A small floorstander makes more sense. Spendor A-5 is light, sounds good. | |
| Decent moderate priced speaker for large room There is a pair of Coincident Triumphs for sale $650. Very efficient (92db) so power is of no real concern. Excellent low level resolution. My pair did not come with grills however, so if that's necessary you will need to check with seller. | |
| I need your advice on system for a non-audiophile NAD L-53 DVD/CD/tuner/amp is listed for $375. That is a respectable unit for the money and would pair nicely with Paradigm, Axiom, Usher or any number of decent monitors. | |

| What monitor speakers mate well w/ Cambridge Audio Focal makes a nice line of monitors. "Budget" is a very non-descript term. A dollar amount would help. | |
| ProAc D Two Speaker Terminal Preferences... For critical listening after the break-in period, definitely use either shotgun or decent quality jumpers. The bars are terrible. | |
| Rickie Lee Jones "Pop Pop" Love the recording and performance. Found that it really improves with a good destat from the Bedini. Rolls the rough off and opens up everything.Have owned the album since its debut and found its sonic character to change dramatically depending o... | |
| An Integrated to replace Adcom 555II & 500II ?? Rega and Exposure both make very musical integrated amps and will splash the Adcom gear. The Plinius suggestion is also very good. | |
| Lost that "Tube Magic". Can you help? VTL or Manley are so musical and mostly slay the complaints about tube gear being slow with sloppy bass and truncated highs. This gear works well, is reliable and they do not grind their tubes into the ground by running them so hot. Tube life runs... |
