| If boulder is tops what is second tier? Albert,Wow, I have never seen you come out and blast someone like that!! If true, which I have no doubt that it is, it is very disheartning to know one of the higher profile manufacturers holds this view. Makes you wonder what he voices his gear w... | |
| some simple questions about cables. Enrico,"Interconnects" fall into two major categories. The categories are "phono cables" and "interconnects." Everyone I know of will specify a cable as a phono cable before hand. Obviously Phono cables have a specific purpose of connecting a turn... | |

| Levinson 33H or 20.6 Rachmaninov,I have had the 33H and it is a fine amp. The 20.6 is voiced a little warmer in my opinion. So it comes down to personal taste and synergy. I like the sound of the 33 and 33H's. On a side note. The only problem that I have heard on the ... | |
| Any advantage to using monobloc amps The advantages of Monoblocks are:1. Crosstalk between channels is eliminated.2. Shorter speaker runs by positioning Monoblocks behind speakers. | |
| I've come to the realization... Earthpulse,I too find many of the high end speakers to sound shrill. I belive you have come to the same deduction as I have that cables become an important factor in "voicing" your system to your needs. Cardas is always a good choice for smoothing... | |
| levinson 32 heat Chris,Describe what you call really hot? If you can keep your hands on the unit all the time the unit should be fine. I had a 32 for a year and wish I had never let it go, and was surprised at how hot it ran. Should be fine as long as the have pro... | |

In the High End world this becomes increasingly convoluted. It is a matter of taste. Alas, we reach an epiphany. We begin to reali... | |
| Is It Me or The Speakers ? ? Hap,I think you are correct. To confirm swap speaker position and if the the problem moves then it is the speaker. If the problem stays on the same side then you may have other problems. Also check the back of the speaker for fuses etc.. | |
| Aerial 20T as front speakers for surround system Pig,Depends on your expectations. If you value music over music you will love the 20T's. If you prefer your system to sound it's best with music then you would want Aerial 9's all around.Johnny | |
| Need help to trouble shoot the noisy amp. Zt000,Unless you are a qualified technician i would not recommend rewiring the amp yourself. As stated by others power supply capacitors can store electricity for months. Unless you know how to drain them i would recommend you defer to someone els... | |

| Upgrading my system? Levinson to. . . . ? SGR,You seem to like the Levinson sound. I do not know what you currently have for a digtal front end, but as far as amplifiers go if you have a chance to swap 4 levinson 436's for the 33's then I would do it. I have owned 436's 33H's and currentl... | |
| Hum Isolation Suggestions. Hello,I would try calling Classe and asking them if you could lift the ground on the amp. Seems to me you have a ground loop.hope this helps,Johnny |
