| Ideas for shipping vinyl?? I would get mailers or cut cardboard.I personally do not like getting the priority mail boxes 2" high stuffed with newspaper.An go priority-bulk or media rate get's dumped into hoppers over snd over again. | |
| Differences between BW N804 and BW N805? Revel M20's well it'sbeen a while but they seem to have a dryer presentation that isn't flat.Tweeter adjustment is added plus.But the 805's are able (with power) to go a bit lower with more slam I am just not sure if they are as flat as Revel's.He... | |
| Does size matter? Appreciate the feedback.Clueless and Newbie and y'all make some good points.Think maybe Kirk might have something there with the Electra.I have seen it's name come up a lot as well as the REL and Vandersteen for not break the bank cost and fast re... | |
| Older vs newer with comapinies like CAT & AI?? Thanks for the responses.Well that $550 MFA I saw was bypassed (for now) as I was first in ona posting for the Korus Eclispe.$1200 made me jump.Decent reveiws not just in the French press but elsewhere as well.Not that many preamps have dual input... | |
| Opinion on Audio Physics Virgos In small room I would see if I could bring home a set of Sparks first.You'd be amazed at how good they are.A dealer once told me that unless you played them loud frequently the Tempos were not as pleasing as Sparks which deliver the goods at all volume levels.Y... | |
| Aragon 8008-BB...what balanced preamplifier to use Folks who ask for a reccomenadatio laways do themselves a di serive but not also listing what other components they have (in this case Speakers) but also a budget.What comes to mind first is tubes as the Aragon is a cool performer.Maybe BAT 3Ki?As... | |
| VTL Deluxe pre amp Philo.Everyone seems to call up Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio.Maybe he has too much sway with systems out there!But I know folks who have bought Hifi from him and I was pleased with some replacement tubes I got.Tell your freind buying some New Old S... | |
| Inter-connects? Speaker cable? for Quad gear I think a lot of cable stuff is hype but Kimber has reputation for value as does Audioquest.I helped a freind with an overly brite system with Cardas.But I really like a company called Mappleshade.They have a high end Omega Mikro line that is grea... | |
| Review: Aragon 8008 BB Amplifier I think even the class a/b Krells and especially the class have tight bass slam down but at the price (to these ears ) of sounding metallic in the mids.Overpriced.Aragon is to me a very good value if a bit "cool" sounding over some of it's competi... | |
| Review: N H T Super One Monitor Good but with the discounts since the line has chenged the 1.5's aree way to go (used market half of the $600 list).And saying that though I don't see a lot of them the floor standing Super to listeing atr $800 has for my vote that price locked up... | |
| Differences between BW N804 and BW N805? I disagree with Gthirteen.I sold B&W Matrix and the only ones I liked were 805's,802's and 801's.The problem with the matrix 804 at $2100 over the $1600 805's was that you got a bit more more bass for the $500 but the imaging wasn't as good (I... | |
| VTL integrated? Rogue integrated? Or VTL pre? I like Cary SLI-80 intergrated which my freind bought which can be had used for $1750 with 80 wpc.My freind replaced a CJ MV55 based CJ seperates combo and he loves it.But only problem is it has no matching amp if you want to laterally bi-amp.My n... | |
| VPI Jr upgrade Had a freind do it and said it was worth twice the cost.Not as 1-2-3 as you might want but worth the tine and effort according to him. | |
| Preamps w/ built in Tuners Add NAD to that list.Whereas the anount of current being drawn from both units would not lead to the sonic degredation that a intergrated amp or reciever has it still is using a single power supply and all things being equal should not be as good ... | |
| Audible Ilusions Preamp I believe I saw an ad for a 3A which said it was just before the current version and it had a non-stepped volume.I may be wrong about this confusing it with another piece but it is possible there are some out there with a continuous control.Think ... |
