See if Dan Weirght orother Mod" guy out there has tooled up for it yet.He told me he thought it was great sounding out of the boxand was going to offer three levels of modification.Try a searc with "Modify" in it.You'll get a lot of forum hits but... 
Best Small Efficient Speaker for Office or Sm Room
I think Superzero's are too bass shy.Try the ones.I have recomnded B&W 302's too freinds and use them on my all in one office set up.They don't have the bass the 303's have but are much cleaner and bright which I like.Really interesting techno... 
budget amplification - what to get?
Do some research into the Acurus DIA line.The Audiophile world often eschews active pre-amps in favor of passive line controllers (pre-amps) to avoidcolloring the sound.The problem with this has been that the output voltage of line level sources (... 
VPI aries scout, Nottingham innerspace...
Just booknoting an old post.I think jwmazur had something with Blue note.Low cost Basis knock off with an input for a airpump spindle. 
To modify or not to mod..... that is the question.
Good post.Wondering myself if I downgrade size wise what I can expect in terms of ease of use after having been spoiled by the ease of VTA adjustment with my VPI arm.Anybody seeing this clue me in as to what difference would be?Chazzbo 
Anybody have help me with wall MOUNTED speakers?
Appreciate the responses.Gallo's?I have a pair of the original Nucleus Ref's but can't say i was impressed with the $800 "Compare-it-to-Bose" jobs they put out.So not sure if the Dues will cut it but I will check 'em out.Forever just to let you kn... 
Any comparison between Audes/Gershman/Triangle?
Great Nearfield floorstanding speakers would be Audio Physic Spark.Good extenesion yet unobstrusive due to 6" width.Easy to grab from wall and pull out into room close to seating where they will really shine.If you had lot's of room away from wall... 
Tube novice here. KT88 or EL34?
The basic difference as I understand it is that for the same given amount of power the KT88 has more slam and tighter bass whereas the EL34 has more midrange "magic" going for it.If you get between 2-3K hours out of the tubes think about what the ... 
what speaker stands for B&W Matrix Series 2?
Call Bob Warzalla at Sound Anchor.I diubt there has ever been a a synergy between an aftermarket accessory and a product line the way there has been between Sound Anchor and B&W.When I bought a pair of 802 III's the dealer GAVE me pair for fre... 
Review: Pass Labs X-250 Amplifier
Nice rig.Wonder if you have heard the new 803N's?I know they are as expensive as the 801's of the era you menitones but the new nauitlus is quite something.A few people have said they still sound like B&W and aren't worth extra cost(doubling i... 
What do you guys think of the Rega Super Elys?
Had amn Elys.A little thin sounding.My Grado at same price blew it away.But it has a nice synergy with an all Rega rig.Would put it on a P3 but if I had a 25 or 9 I'd get a better cartridge.One thing is that it has a strong plastic body that you c... 
VPI Aries vs Basis Turntable...which one???
Wonder if if we factored in bang for buck how things would stack up.VPI has a lush sound.Otherss may give more rhythnic pace or dynamics.I have Aires extended with a 12.5.Am thinking of going smaller and maybe pocketing a few bucks.Was reading Fre...
