Arcam Diva AVR100...any good???
They say it's really nice, for the money, and especially for the 2ch. playback. Rather buy the Arcam than what it should compete against at the price point, denon etc. But my point of view is biased, I really like Arcam. Saw a used set of both the...

Sorry Mraybeck, I must defer to the infinite wisdom of other members, I am and for the immediate future committed to solid state. I think though, as a practical matter, you should wait on cabling until after the pre.Chris

That CD player has a forward sound to it too. I agree the pre oughtta go, but the CD player's sound might need considering here as well. Don't get me wrong, I had an Alpha 8, and I loved it a bunch, not bright per se, but a forward british sound. ...

Are Audiophiles Obsessive Nuts?
Nice discussion. He says unnaturally interested. Feels pretty natural to me, though I would have bought a description that used the word "cursed". I think sound just makes a different impression on me than it does a lot of other people. I have fri...

Mr khan, BTW, I agree that is a horrible thing you did. But I forgive you for what you did. Hopefully, others will forgive you too. I know you will feel much better about yourself if YOU can forgive you. Hope this helps, you sound pretty down in t...

Yup. Saw that. Interesting, but I don't know what to do. I was planning on taking advantage of fatwyre's lender library this summer to try and figure it out. All it's gonna take is more money and more time.Chris

Gunbui! thanks for that last post. While I had a similar experience with the AP 9's (bi-version), I also noticed a fairly substantial rounding of the bottom end. Do not misunderstand, I literally couldn't believe the sound at first, tons better. B...
