| Difference between REL II and III in Strata storm? Much thanks.I also note that when they changed lines that they bagged on other evolving technology at same time they lessened thier own line.Shame.Chazz | |
| And digital rippers that can read external HD's? Crappy sound.Guess I could go to USB DAC but it's also muisc servers have dedictated easy to usy screen,easy genre grouping buttons etc.Chazz | |
| Why Mac Mini Over Slim Systems Products? Whatever happened to fans of Olive Severs?For $1700 you can ge a Terabyte built in and have 4.5 " screen and easy to group buttons.I need to see a Mini in action but don't know anybody who has one.Can you configure the screen for unlimited groups ... | |
| Next up... new speakers... Go for another Brit speaker.I sold B&W's for 6 years and think pair of 803S would really flip your switches.You could look for upscale monitor like ATC (used in many studios and Brit),Italian Sonus Fabers,JM Lab Utopia so you can use sub.But i... | |
| Looking for a entry level audiophile turntable Rega is good.Rigid fine arms.I'd get scout for used money.Also look at used or new pro-ject 6.1 or better.Good arms well.Chazz | |

| Speakers and depth... Dipole or speaker with rear firing tweeter might be good.Look at Emerald Audio C2's a tweekgeak.com.Just wanted to add a bit with my list I just got a $1400 self amped pair of Quad 11l's and hey are fine (great deal on ebay $400 for $1400 list)The... | |
| Speakers and depth... Get newer amp.Use NAD in second sytem.If you can swing Unison Unico or Pathos Classic II (both hybrids with 75 wpc+/-) or my EAR 324 with 40 watts you'd have better sound for newer speakers.Always comes down to money right?Good values in efficient... | |

| Bi-amping question One thing no mentioned is that if you put in two identical amps,say 100 Watts you end up with sum of 150 (150%)watts not double as many folks think.Given all that has been said I go passive with same amps and not use crossover I keep telling buddy... | |
| Is this tube sound???? You need to be careful.I sold original B&W 803 Nautilus. which are rated 90db +/- 3db.But a nasty impedance swing from nominal 8 ohm load (stated) dropped precipitously to 3.5 db and would eat my 4 watt EL34 40 watt which would run a 8 ohm to ... | |
