| System based on Audio Physic Tempo III Excellent first response there.If bargain hunting I know that the Acurus DIA 150 which lists for $1600 is going for $600-800 on 'Gon and ebay.Also check out Monarchy Audio Class A stuff.Not cheap cheap but 100 watt Mono's go for less than $2700 li... | |
| Revel M20 vs.B W 805 vs.Dynaudio 1.3SE Just to thump my chest I have speaker which for the right LISTENER betters the three.I just got a pair of Ehodin Model 17's.Horn loaded tweeters with highs,mids,imaging,soundstageand evreything the others got except the Bass.You can run 'em on mos... | |
| Jumping into SE tube amps. Suggestions? I am digging my new Ehodin 17's which would work.Nice bbokshelves listing for $2600 which I got used for under $1K. | |
| best integrated for kef105.3 4ohm Oh yeah.If you really want to rock on the cheap get a chance to hear the Acurus DIA 150.It's a nice 150 watts with a passive pre stage.It is a good value at $1600list but folks are stealing thwm at $600 on 'Gon and ebay.Forget that your not paying... | |
| GRADO SONATA 1.5V (THOUGHTS/SUGESTIONS) While I think longplate overstates the issue the Rega Super Eylys I used was not the equal of the Grado.Hum is only a problem in a few setups and can be contained by adding a sheet of Mu-metal under the mat.Grado's rock!!! | |
| vinyl Wax all the way.But I must say that certain CD's when you here good ones reduce that urge this to only listen to orig. pressings from 50's and 60's.Good sounding jazz wax came in this era from Bethlehem,United Artist,Phillips and Blue Note among a... | |
| B W CDM 9 NT versus Nautilus 804 I listen everyday to both speakers at work and for me it's hands down the 804's.Yes more wheight with the 9's but your looking at B&W's because of the midrange anyway so go with one tha does that better.805's with a REL or Vanderteen sub is an... | |
| aragon 8008bb vs bryston 4bst I'd say Aragon as well.But I' ll mussy the water and say that if you need only 100 watts check out the Monarchy mono blocks.Like the Arago stuff their amps are a tremendous value but with the mono 100's you get 100 watts of Class A power for less ... | |
| Cartridge help with Rega Planar 3 Dynavector not a bad idea but why not check out that Clearaudio that got a B rating from Stereophile?Call Music Direct and get soem advice on it.I'm a fan of Grado but you would need a Mu-metal mat to keep hum out when arm is at end of record.Stil... | |
| DVD Audio vs SACD? Ya never know with these things.Trying to predict formats is like economics.But I can't think of a company to better shepherd the format than Sony.Look what they did to save MD.But that doesen't mean that in 5 years it won't stay a nitch product f... | |
| best integrated for kef105.3 4ohm Check to see with a Krell dealer or call dealer to see if the 150 watt 300i will stay stable to 2 ohms.If it will I have one to sell at $1500.Has way more power than my B&W 802 Matrix III's can use.A nice amp made in '97 the only reason I am g... |
